Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

While they were restrained in a single area for the most part, Tian Han flattered and told the disciples how much he liked the Frozen Cloud sect and how much he respected them.

Even showing the intent to join them in the future if the opportunity arose. 

This turned out to be the key that allowed them a lot of things. The moment he expressed his desire, the disciples seemingly did a 180 and turned genial to him. Even going so far as to asking him to join their division, which was the Frozen Cliff division.

He was told lies upon lies, with some even saying that Tian Xiaoge was a proud member of their division. Of course, the disciples were unaware about the location of Tian Xiaoge, only knowing that a certain number of disciples were missing from the sect.

This along with Tian Han's identity as a Tian Clan member was useful. After all, the Tian Clan was somewhat of a high status in the area and had trades with the sect. While there might not have been many disciples joining from their clan, it was still something.

Tian Han quickly latched onto this chance and used some bribes, in addition to flattery to get closer to the disciples. Once the things were in the right hand, under the surprised look of Tina Chu, Tian Han was joyfully taken on a tour of the Frozen Cloud sect.

Leaving her behind to sulk.

Though it wasn't all for her. With Tian Han taking the disciples of the Frozen Cliff division away, Tian Chu was left alone. There were only a couple of formations blocking her, which were easy enough for her to overcome.

She sneaked out and started to gather intel on her own while Tian Han did the same. Plus, since the two of them were always in contact due to the Pentagem, they knew what was happening on the other side.

Tian Han learned of the situation of the sect, from the side of the Frozen Cliff division, while Tian Chu did so from the side of the other two divisions.

A lot of locations were shown by the disciples, though the still avoided the more sensitive areas. But Tian Chu got to reach there with ease after she knocked out a Nascent soul realm disciple and took his identity token.

It worked in her favor that the areas were mostly desolate due to the constant hostility in the sect. The disciples stayed within their residence on the peaks, protected from the other divisions.

If not for that, there might have been a great chance that Tian Chu might have been found out.

Their search lasted for about a day, before Tian Han was brought back to the area they were originally kept it. The reason being an elder was coming to talk to them about Tian Xiaoge.

After all, this was the official reason with which they had come to the sect.

Tian Chu quickly returned as well and the two of them were informed about Tian Xiaoge.

Upon reading this part, Lin Wu felt like the Frozen Cloud division was certainly scheming deeply now.

'They really want to rope in the Tian clan and turn them against the Frozen Brook divisor huh…' Lin Wu thought after reading it.

The elder of the Frozen Cliff division told them that Tian Xiaoge was killed!

And not just that, but that she was killed by none other than Wang Xiong. The elders had long since known who were the subordinates under Wang Xiong before and took advantage of Tian Xiaoge missing.

Tian Han served his part well and showed great shock while Tian Chu kept up her serious expression.

The elder told them that the Frozen brook division was the one rebelling against the sect and that they were the orthodox members of the sect. The Frozen Brook division had been left astray by the Chief disciple Wang Xiong.

"With the patriarch of the Frozen Cloud sect being away for the time being, the Frozen Cliff elders had gotten really brazen." Lin Wu muttered.

Having gained this information, Tian Han and Tina Chu wanted to leave, but not before they were given several documents that they were supposed to give to the Tian clan patriarch.

It was certain that they wanted the Tian clan under their influence as well.

Tian Han and Tian Chu assured them that they would tell this to their patriarch and quickly left the sect. They felt an uneasy air in the sect and knew that if they stayed for long, something dangerous might happen.

Once they left, and were sufficient distance away, they made the report and messaged Lin Wu.

Having read the entire report, Lin Wu explained the matter to all of his subordinates and servants.

"I never thought the Frozen Cloud sect would reach this level…" The Twin Lights Liger King spoke after having heard everything from Lin Wu.

"Indeed… the matters of humans only get more and more complex and they scheme against each other a lot." The Slim Arm Ape king muttered.

"But this also gives us many avenues to act." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape said.

Lin Wu nodded his head and thought about it. The system analyzed the information too, along with the different areas that had been checked by Tian Han and Tian Chu. Combining that with the map data the system already had, it was able to make some new routes that might be useful.

Lin Wu then discussed things with the beasts and also told Wang Xiong about all that he had learned. 

"Dammit! The Frozen Cliff division has truly gone far!" Wang Xiong said upon hearing from Lin Wu.

Ye Jin heard the same, and a hint of coldness appeared on her face too. 

Tian Han and Tian Chu had gained a lot more information than they could gather in the sect themselves, thus it was surprising to the two.

After an entire day's of discussion between all, Lin Wu finally came up with a plan.
