Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 893 Yang Ranran's Instincts

Yang Ranran felt a pressure he had only felt from the high lords of Tieba city. These were all at the Dao Treading realm and were old experts who had lived for over a thousand years by now.

'No… it's stronger… more… bloody…' Yang Ranran could sense the malice and bloody aura that was concealed within the pressure.

He knew this very well. After all, he was named the Red Bandit because of his own bloody aura. But the aura that he was feeling right now was beyond anything he had accumulated on his own.

It was different… like a long lived beast eyeing its prey.

Yang Ranran's instinct screamed at him, telling him to not offend whoever this was. He had fought in the raw world and knew how to judge different foes. And this time, he realized he was up against something entirely on a new level.

"Wh-who… who are you?" Yang Ranran finally asked.

"That is not something the likes of you should know." The voice replied.

Yang Ranran went silent for a moment before replying, "I'll do as you say. I'll leave the boy."

"Good." The voice said before Yang Ranran felt the strange link starting to felt.

"Wait! Why would you want the boy? He's nothing. You can find a dime a dozen like him." Yang Ranran questioned.

"That is just what 'you' think." The voice replied without explaining much.

Yang Ranran wondered if the boy had something hidden in him or held some great mystery.

'If there's such a power backing him, then there is certainly something special about him.' Yang Ranran thought.

His mind worked rapidly, and soon an idea presented to him.

"I'll take the boy with me." Yang Ranran suddenly said.

"Oh?" Lin Wu was certainly not expecting the man to still resist after all the threating he had done.

"Don't take this the wrong way. I'm talking him with me so that he'll be safe. I'll let him go after we are away from the sights of others." Yang Ranran hurriedly spoke.

"Explain." Lin Wu firmly said.

"The onlookers have already seen the boy and so have the yang clan guards. If I just let go of him here, things will be a lot more suspicious. Not to mention the other powers of the city will also be paying attention to this incident and might take an interest in the boy who survived an explosion that shattered the barriers of White Sheep Inn.

Someone of your status should know very well what are the chances of someone surviving the an explosion that was at the same level as that of a Dao Treading realm expert's attack." Yang Ranran explained.

Lin Wu raised his brow, as he had not thought of this aspect at all.

"Is this correct, system? About the barrier?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The Barrier protecting the White Sheep Pavilion is a defensive formation array that can resist Dao Shell realm experts' attacks. It can even defend against a Dao Treading realm expert's attacks for a short while.

——

"Huh… Yeah, this will be a bit of an issue. Still Feng surviving this is surprising. But what's even more surprising is how was he even able to cause an explosion at that level?" Lin Wu wondered.

~DING~

NOTIFICATION: Direct Scan needed for analysis.

"Just as I thought… guess we'll do as the guy says for now. Besides, not like he can do anything under our watch." Lin Wu muttered.

Yang Ranran, who had been waiting for Lin Wu's response anxiously finally heard his voice again.

"Fine. Take the boy with you. But know this… I'll be watching at all times." Lin Wu stated.

"Y-yes." Yang Ranran resumed his usual attitude, but let go of Feng.

"Take the boy with us." Yang Ranran simply ordered.

"Yes, sir!" The Yang clan guards quickly responded and carried Feng with them.

Feng had a look of anger and frustration on his face as a myriad of thoughts came to his mind. Lin Wu who watched him the entire time, felt like this might be good for him.

"Perhaps this'll give him some extra motivation… maybe even help me mold him the way I want him to be?" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Lin Wu knew very well revenge and anger could be great motivators. At least in the short term. But if the person obtained great benefit and saw progress in that short term, the motivation would transform.

It might even make them strive to become stronger more and more.

'Considering he managed to breakthrough to the Core condensation realm on his own, there is a great chance this might work.' Lin Wu reckoned.

He continued to watch as Yang Ranran left with a few Yang clan guards while the rest continued their investigation. There were still many people left to interrogate and they would probably be working till very late today.

"Oh, seems like Yang Ranran was right." Lin Wu saw several targets pop up on the map.

These were all people that had been marked as important by the system and were considered as the underlings of the different powers of the city. There were only a couple of reasons they had appeared right now, it was to learn what truly happened and if they could get some benefits from it.

And it wasn't just the people of the different powers that had this thought, some rogue and independent cultivators and the same thought. These people were braver than the average citizen and didn't fear the powers as much.

Though they were certainly wary of the power that the lords of the city held.

They definitely wouldn't go and oppose the interest of these powers in open, but if something could be gained without them finding out, it would be the best case for them. Of course, if this was even possible was yet to be seen.

"Let's get to Feng. I wonder what the boy did to able to breakthrough this quickly…" Lin Wu said as he started to move underground.
