Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Tian Han sat at the top of a small hill that was located at the back of the Frozen Cloud sect. It was an abandoned hill that had a couple of buildings on it, but they were all broken and signs of battle could be seen there as well.

Lin Wu looked around and spread his spirit sense, checking the area.

'This is one of the areas where the Frozen Cliff division and the Frozen Brook Division had clashed before. It'll be the perfect area to use for a bait.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"What are you waiting for?" The Twin Lights Liger King questioned. 

"Just a second…" Lin Wu said as he gazed at a certain system window.

~DING~

"Now we can begin," Lin Wu spoke upon seeing a completed progress bar.

~shua~

Tian Chu felt something flying towards her and quickly caught it. 

"What's this?" Tian Chu asked, seeing the wooden plate in her hand.

"That's the formation array's control plate." Lin Wu replied.

"A formation array control plate? But for what formation array?" Tian Chu asked, feeling confused.

Tian Han and the Twin Lights Liger King were the same as they looked at Lin Wu.

"This formation array," Lin Wu said as a faint wave of spirit Qi spread from his body.

~humm~

The wooden formation array plate in Tian Chu's hand slightly trembled and illusory runes appeared around it. Her eyes took on a faint glow as well and could see thousands upon thousands of runes that were all around her.

They were arranged into multiple formations that all joined up to form a large formation array.

"H-how?" Tian Chu was surprised.

The Twin Lights Liger King found this all to be strange and stimulated one of his bloodline's unique abilities.

His white and black eyes flickered like a torch and a new view appeared in front of him.

"You… You set up an entire formation array?" The Twin Lights Liger King was rather shocked.

Lin Wu had been standing still for the most part, and he had not seen any spirit Qi fluctuations other than the normal ones coming from Lin Wu. He couldn't understand how there was now an entire formation array here.

Tian Han wondered what the three of them were talking about and felt a bit suspicious.

"You are to use the formation array at the right time when the people of the sect arrive here." Lin Wu instructed.

Tian Chu could feel the information about the formation array appearing in her mind from the plate and knew exactly how to control it.

Tian Han had a face of realization and understood what Lin Wu was doing.

"You are going to use a formation array to trap them?" Tian Han guessed.

"You got that right. You really thought, just you acting as a distraction would be enough? Haha! You are just the bait. Once they come here, they will suffer some true pain." Lin Wu laughed, though his aura was oppressive at this moment.

'Master is truly amazing. He can set up such a formation array in a short time without anyone even noticing.' Tina Chu was really impressed, wondering how Lin Wu had accomplished something like that.

'They don't need to know that I simply had the system repair and modify the already existing formation array of this hill.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Lin Wu was not stupid enough to think that just Tian Han would be enough to hold the Frozen Cliff Division for long enough. If he just depended on him, it would be the same as making the members suspicious about it all.

They would simply return to the sect once they learned of him, while a few of them would stay behind to restrain them. Even if Tian Han would have an increase in strength and there would be Tian Chu to fight as well, there was no way the two of them along would be able to handle multiple nascent soul realm expert.

After all, there were plenty of nascent soul realm cultivators the Frozen Cloud sect's Frozen Cliff division could spare. They had increased the number of their members in the past six months and had poached several of them from the other two divisions.

Not to mention, with the absence of the Patriarch, there was nothing stopping them from using outside help again. Thus, right now, there were several unknowing cultivators disguised as the members of the Frozen Cloud sect.

While Tian Han and Tian Chu didn't know who they exactly were, Lin Wu had a hunch that they might be from the Weiyuan chamber or could be some more allies that Weiyuan might have pulled in.

He would not put the other sects above this either. The Frozen Cloud sect was one of the top ten sects of the Long Continent, but it was not without enemies. There were people from all walks of life that hated them and wished for their doom for many reasons.

Some might have just been wronged by the sect, while some might just have been rejected by them when they tried to join them. The reasons could be numerous, but the one thing they all had in common was that they would be more than willing to cause suffering to the sect.

Though Tian Han had some other thoughts about the formation array. He looked at the plate in Tian Chu's hand and let out a wry smile, not knowing whether he should laugh or cry at his situation.

'He intentionally gave it to her, didn't he? So that I don't try to escape beforehand?' Tian Han guessed.

~SCREECH~

"Let's goo! HUNT TIME!" Tim said impatiently.

His cry made the two humans flinch, as they were not used to it. 

"Ugh, he can kill others with just that sound…" Tian Han muttered to himself.

Lin Wu looked at the weasel and nodded his head.

"Of course, let's get started. We have a lot of people to hunt…" Lin Wu said as he raised his tail.

A sharp spike protruded from its tip and approached Tian Han, who became incredibly still, afraid that one wrong movement might prick his head.
