Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 135 - Shirong's Determination?

Shirong's face fell as he heard the words of Miao'er. He had never expected that the Nian Yue sect could be behind it. While he knew about the sect itself, as it was one of the subordinate sects of the Ji clan, he didn't know much about their cultivation techniques.

He wondered if it was a misunderstanding of some sort, as he couldn't believe his second sister doing something like this. But the implications of this were obvious, someone was scheming against him and he definitely did not like it.

'What benefit could they have by doing this? Even if I do lose the two guys, I wouldn't have much of a problem… no wait! They know of the secret of the green Crystal spear!' Shirong's eyes went wide as he realized that he had just gotten into much bigger trouble than he thought.

"Young master, are you alright?" Clan head Lu asked.

~sigh~

"I am fine… just need to think over a few things…" Shirong answered.

"Do you need us to do anything?" Lu Peng questioned.

"Yes, send out people to look for Ye Dai and Bei Wen's traces. They are definitely in danger. I want them even if they are dead corpses." Shirong said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"As you wish, young master," Lu Peng replied before leaving to carry out the task.

Miao'er meanwhile looked at him and could sense his discomfort. She was an expert with men's behaviors and could tell that he was much more bothered by this than he was showing. Even she was shocked that the Nian Yue sect could be behind it.

While she knew that it was a subordinate of the Ji clan, she did not know who controlled it apart from the Sect Patriarch. The Ji clan did not let many others know which one of their clansmen were assigned where. Another reason people did not know was that even if a clansman had been assigned to a particular sect, they did not necessarily stay there.

Ji Xiaolian was the same, and while she did have control over the sect, she stayed at the Ji clan most of the time. Only when it was absolutely needed was when she would go there.

Shirong finally looked at Miao'er and found her to be staring at him with interest. He thought for a bit and then spoke.

"The skill that I was hypnotized with, will it still be effective? I mean the one from the Nian Yue sect." Shirong asked.

"No, young master was already getting free from its effects on his own. And now that I've used my own skill on you, it has broken the Thousand Emotion Bending arts' effect totally." Miao'er answered.

"That's good…" Shirong uttered, feeling a bit satisfied.

Now he was feeling just more pressure and knew that if he wanted to come out on top every time, he needed to be stronger… much stronger than he was right now.

"What will you be doing now, Young Master Shirong?" Clan head Lu questioned.

"I'll be going out to practice and train. When I return, I should be ready to breakthrough." Shirong answered.

Clan Head Lu raised his brows, but then nodded his head in understanding.

"Do you need me to send some attendants with you?" Clan head Lu asked.

"No need… I have to do this on my own." Shirong said with determination.

"Please take this communication jade slip, and contact me anytime you need." Clan head Lu said, handing Shirong the jade slip.

"Thank you, this will come in handy. Wait, a few things will be arriving for me from the clan. Inform me when they reach here." Shirong replied after thinking of the high grade spatial storage treasure that the messenger was gonna bring him.

"I'll inform you at the very first moment I see them." Clan head Lu assured.

"Oh, and I need a better spirit sword so I can fly." Shirong asked.

"That's not a problem," Clan head Lu said before withdrawing a spirit sword from his own spatial storage treasure and handing it to Shirong.

Shirong scanned it with his spirit sense and found it to be decent. It was a mid grade spirit sword that was bordering on the edge of high grade. While it was not as good as his previous sword, it didn't matter to him as he only wanted it for flying and not fighting.

In case of a battle, he had the immortal weapon, the green crystal spear. Besides, that spear was the reason why he was going out to hunt. He needed to let it grow and supply him with spirit qi as well.

Nodding his head, Shirong left the private room. The clan head and Miao'er accompanied him to the exit, bidding him farewell at the end.

Shirong jumped on the spirit sword and flew away at a great speed.

Once he was gone, clan head Lu remembered something. He turned his head to look at his daughter Miao'er.

"Wait, we don't know if Young master Shirong was pleased or not!" Clan head Lu said out loud.

~Chuckle~

Miao'er let out a little laugh, seeing her father getting anxious.

"Fear not father, I've sensed Young master Shirong's condition. He was definitely happy with the girls I believe. Anyway, we will learn of it soon… I'll go check up on them." Miao'er said.

"Good, please do that and tell me. NO wait! I'll come with you." Clan head Lu said anxiously.

~Chuckle~

Miao'er let out another chuckle before the both of them flew away to Shirong's courtyard. Landing at the entrance, the servants were alerted and saw that the clan head and mistress Miao had come.

They hurriedly greeted but were dismissed by clan head Lu. 

"I'll go check in, you wait here father," Miao'er said before walking into the bedroom.

As soon as she opened the door, she could smell the faint scent that was dispersed in the air. Then she saw the ten girls are lying around on the bed covered by a sheet.

"My, my… he's really a gentleman isn't he~"
