Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Having learned that it was Wang Xiong behind this team, Lin Wu was now far more interested than before. He changed the settings of the monitoring screens and made it so that they were mostly focused on the three teams of Wang Xiong while setting up alerts for the other teams.

The alerts were mostly for when they reached areas where there would be stronger beasts or if they got closer to the Tomb or just the fifth ring itself. Lin Wu knew for sure that most of the disciples would not be able to get past the fifth ring if not for the stronger Nascent soul realm disciples there.

Lin Wu observed as the disciples made their way to the second ring with little effort. The first ring was something that even commoners could move around with relative safety, so it was a given anyway.

As for the second ring, that was where the Qi refining realm beasts got more and more common. This was also relatively easy for the disciples to get through. After all, they were all at the core condensation realm and if they faltered here, they may as well choke on a block of tofu and die.

The third and fourth ring were also covered with relative ease, but from the third ring onwards they started to have more and more conflicts with the beasts. It was evident that the beasts had gotten agitated all over the forest now..

"Oh boy… the rulers would certainly not like this." Lin Wu said as he observed the screens.

All over the forest, different battles were being fought by the disciple of the Frozen Cloud sect. So far there had been no deaths, but there were several disciples that had been injured. 

"Hmm… they do have the backing of the sect, so they should be able to retreat in the face of danger." Lin Wu muttered.

It was now that Lin Wu felt one of the alarms going off.

~Warning!~

Lin Wu quickly switched to the screen that was showing the warning and saw that it was one of the teams that Wang Xiong had sent. 

"Oh? The Demon Spine ape is acting now?" Lin Wu saw a few core condensation realm monkey beasts appearing on the screen.

~EEK!~

They screamed at the disciples, which Lin Wu could translate into words.

"What are you humans doing here! Go back! This is our land!" They shouted while baring their fangs.

The disciples of course, could not understand what the monkey beasts were saying and simply thought that they were threatening them. Which was in a way, correct as well.

~Sigh~

"The monkey beasts are done for… I'm pretty sure these were sent by the Demon spine ape and not his father. If it were the Slim Arm ape king, he would have first investigated before taking action.

Though I don't know if they have the news about the other disciples here too." Lin Wu said as he observed the rest of the screens.

Overall, the entire Millennium forest was in an uproar as from everywhere the humans were appearing. This was the first time in over a thousand years that so many humans had appeared in the millennium forest all at once.

And it was also due to the fact that they were all quite strong. Core condensation realm was already something that was considered top of the hierarchy in the forests, with the Nascent soul realm being the apex. 

Even if the number of core condensation realm beasts in the forest was over a thousand, the number of humans that had appeared was over a hundred and they were at the core condensation realm too.

As for the Qi refining realm cultivators, there were over four hundred of them.

~Sigh~

Lin Wu sighed to himself as he saw the monkey beasts and the disciples break out in a fight. The battle lasted about ten minutes and was ended due to the appearance of the other teams who joined forces and quickly killed two of the monkey beasts while the rest of them fled for their lives.

"The Demon Spine ape will not like this…" Lin Wu predicted.

He counted the number of disciples and saw that the number had gone down by a bit now.

'So the deaths are starting now…' Lin Wu thought.

More time passed and the number of disciples kept on falling. After about two more days after the battle with the monkey beasts, the three teams that Wang Xiong had sent entered the fifth ring.

It had taken them over twenty days to reach the fourth ring, which was quite fast and then just two more to reach the fifth ring. This was the part that Lin Wu found to be rather strange.

"Did the Slim Arm Ape king stop his son? Why are there no beasts coming to attack them?" Lin Wu was confused.

~ROAR~

It was now that a loud roar was heard coming from the north and the entire area shook as if a something large was heading their way.

"Oh, boy… seems like now I know why the slim arm ape stopped." Lin Wu said as he saw the Lamp Light Ligers appear.

"STOP!" The Nascent soul realm senior Disciple called out to the juniors.

He was the first one to have sensed their presence and was ready to find now.

~GRRR~

The bushes and trees parted as about twenty Lamp Light Ligers appeared. All of them were at the Core condensation realm while three of them were even at the Peak stage of the core condensation realm.

"These are the Lamp light Ligers we were told about. We need to be careful. They are one of the most dangerous beasts of the forest." The Nascent soul realm senior disciple warned.

~gulp~

All of them swallowed their saliva and got ready for a battle. This one was not going to be an easy one, especially since the Lamp Light Ligers were not one to retreat. They would fight to their deaths.
