Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 984 The Spies Of The Ghost

Lin Wu recalled the name that Jifen had just spoken.

'Isn't he the guest elder who took an interest in Tian Han?' Lin Wu thought.

He had heard from Tian Chu that the man was a bit strange. Tian Han had also said that Junior Elder Jigou had gone to Tieba city back then. Lin Wu didn't have much information on Tieba city so he didn't get to investigate the man after that.

Though in the recent years when he took over Tieba city, he had gotten Cang Ci to look up some information. But even then, he didn't have much luck, only learning that the man had left the city long time ago.

Even his goal of coming to Tieba city was unknown, since he didn't really involved himself in any clans or powers.

"Tell me about this Jigou? Did he go to Tieba city some years back after going to the Tian clan branch?" Lin Wu questioned Jifen.

"Yes. Like I said, he works as a spy for us. He'll move around as per his identity and obtain information from all over." Jifen answered.

"I see…" Lin Wu felt a little satisfied that one of the older mysteries had been resolved.

Granted, it wasn't anything major, at least he now knew where it all fit. Plus, it also gave him a little progress on other plans.

'Seems like I can just change the plan of letting Tian Han and Tian Chu joining the Tian clan main branch. I may as well directly let them practice the Chimeric Revolution technique.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

In order to explore and learn more about the Tian clan, Lin Wu had intended to make use of Tian Han and Tian Chu. Both of them were at the Nascent soul realm now and had become the stars of their clan.

Sending them to the main branch of the Tian clan would be the most obvious option for them. This would make it so that they would be nurtured in the best way possible. Lin Wu would make use of this and make them his spies in the Tian clan.

But now, he didn't think that it was of much use.

'The Tian clan seems more like a prison now. Their rules make no sense for the most part.' Lin Wu thought.

And now that Lin Wu had the oldest member alive of Tian clan in front of him, it was even better.

"So what is it that you want from me?" Lin Wu questioned the one eyed old man.

"I… want your help in rebuilding a human body." Tian Guisha spoke. "I searched a lot and learned that there should be an inheritance of the Shadow Calamity that might help in this. There were some vague texts about it." He explained.

"Oh, you do?" Lin Wu was surprised about them knowing this.

"Yes. We even know where it is located. It's in the home of your enemy, the Millennium Forest Kingdom." Tian Guisha stated. "We even did a mission there a while back. Jifen tell him about it."

Lin Wu was surprised by this again, and wondered when they had done something like this.

"A few years back, I had indeed asked some of our members to scout out the Millennium Forest. But none of them returned. I was going to send stronger members at the Nascent soul realm and above, but then learned the changes in the forest.

The rise of the new King, Lin Wu and the alliances with many powers had made it risky for us." Jifen explained.

After hearing this, Lin Wu was now sure of his assumption.

'It really was them…' Lin Wu looked at the inventory of the system.

~DING~

——

INVENTORY: Pink Women's underwear, Unknown Metal girdle, Shell Breaker Thorn Band.

——

There was one item that had barely any information about it and it was the Unknown Metal girdle.

~shua~

"Is this from your subordinates too?" Lin Wu questioned, taking out the metal girdle.

~clang~

The metal girdle fell onto the table with a crisp sound, allowing everyone to take a closer look.

As far as Lin Wu remembered, some of the beasts in the forest had detected intruders and had eaten them all.

'No, wait… it was Tim that had done that. He ate them all.' Lin Wu recalled.

"This… it is indeed ours. It's an old access token." Jifen confirmed feeling surprised. "But it seems to be broken. All the formations and runes in it have been wiped out." He added.

"Where did you find this?" Tian Guisha was confused too.

"Some of my own people found it in the ownership of a few beasts. Seems like your people did end up as a meal for the beasts of the Millennium Forest." Lin Wu replied.

~Sigh~

"So it really was like that." Jifen muttered.

Lin Wu continued observing the two, as a few plans appeared in his mind.

'Hmm… they can perfectly fit in it all as long as I make some changes. I might even be able to elicit a response from the Tian clan and get them under my clan. Keeping them as they are would be too much of a wild card.

Who knows if the immortal from their clan would come and help them out when my influence spreads more.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"You are right." Lin Wu spoke after a minute of silence.

"There really is an inheritance like that?" Tian Guisha was surprised.

"Indeed. There is an inheritance that allows one to rebuild a body. But it's not exactly of the Shadow calamity." Lin Wu spoke. "Instead, it is of the Taiji Celestial. The Shadow calamity's own inheritance is sourced from a part foe the Taiji celestial's inheritance." He revealed.

"This…" Tian Guisha had a surprised look on his face along with a hint of recognition.

"So you know of the Taiji celestial too? That makes it easier." Lin Wu said.

"Yes… I've read about him in old texts from other worlds." Tian Guisha nodded his head.
