Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Shirong's words were amplified with his spirit Qi, allowing them to reach every person that was in its vicinity as well as those that were a bit far away.

Though it wasn't even needed since a lot of the clansmen were already attracted due to the huge commotion Shirong had caused. The explosion and the storm brewing in the sky were more than enough.

In fact, the severity and power of the storm had already alerted the elders of the clan. After all, they knew that something like this was highly unusual. There was no way a heavenly tribulation was upon them, as they would have sensed it quickly.

As for a natural storm, it was a highly remote possibility. The Ji clan was protected by their great formation arrays from all sides, thus even if a storm did form, it would simply be unable to get through the array.

But the current storm was quiet, obviously forming within the limits of the great array.

"What is Young Master Shirong doing?"

"Is he the one behind this commotion and explosion?"

The clansmen wondered as more and more of them gathered around the area.

"Now that all of you are here, I have something to say." Shirong repeated.

"What is it, young master?" The lower ranked clansmen asked, feeling anxious.

While they could see Ji Xiaolian in Shirong's eyes, they did not dare to question him directly about it. They were far too low in the status to even look Shirong in the eyes. Besides, being in the Ji clan had taught them better than to put their noses in matters they could avoid.

"WHO DARES TO DO THIS IN THE JI CLAN!?"

"Who dares blow up the Silver Prison?!"

Just a few seconds later, a series of shouts were heard as more people approached. This time they were the elders of the Ji clan.

"Elder sister Xiaolian!" And it wasn't just the elders that appeared either. More of Shirong's siblings had approached the area.

"What are you doing Shirong? Let go of your elder sister!" The Elders demanded.

"Elders, my brothers and my fellow clansmen!" Shirong silenced them with a loud declaration. "Today I have something to say to you all." He continued.

"You think ignoring us will work?"

"Yeah! Let go of the young miss right away!" the elders demanded once more.

Shirong's eyes locked onto the elders who had spoken and they shone in a purple hue.

"Silence." He pointed at them.

~BOOM~

~BOOM~

Two bolts of lightning fell down from the sky, directly striking the elders who had interrupted him.

"AHH!"

"NO!"

The two elders were merely at the peak of the Nascent soul realm and were thus unable to bear the power of the lightning bolt. While they might have survived a heavenly tribulation lightning bolt in the past, this was nothing like that.

"Anyone that dares interrupt me can go and meet the ancestors!" Shirong declared as fierce winds and lightning stirred around him.

The elders and clansmen were terrified seeing this.

"Mad! He's gone mad!" they were sure.

After all, no one would dare to cause such a huge problem in the middle of the Ji clan. Not even the supposed heir of the Ji clan could do this. It only caused the clansmen to be lost and sacred.

"I know all of you must be wondering the reason behind my actions." Shirong said, not wanting to waste anymore time.

This time, the clansmen kept silent and let Shirong speak. The elders did the same as well, already seeing the consequences of disturbing Shirong.

"For long I have waited… observed… analyzed. I've seen the work of my siblings and elders. And I have to say I am not satisfied with it at all. Not only do they go against the laws and regulation of our clan, but they dare to lie to the patriarch as well." Shirong stated plainly.

"False! That is all false!" An elder retorted.

"Yeah! With what proof do you dare to claim this, elder brother Shirong?" Ji Feilei questioned.

Ji Feilei was one of Shirong's siblings and was fifth in the line for succession.

"Oh, don't worry. I've only decided to do all this after gathering enough proof." Shirong said smugly before he threw out multiple orbs into the air.

~SHUA~

The orbs rose into the sky, forming multiple large screens that showed a set of scenes.

"Look! Isn't that the ninth elder?"

"And he's with a baron of the eastern kingdoms." The clansmen quickly recognized the participants on one of the screens.

"Is that Lord Jiao Han of Tieba city?"

"He's with young miss Ji Xiaolian!"

One by one, multiple scenes started appearing in the sky, allowing everyone standing around to observe it. The screens not only showed some of the higher ups of the clan, but also many people that were currently in attendance here.

"None of this can be proved!"

"You have fabricated this and are trying to frame us!"

The elders and Shirong's siblings proclaimed.

Ji Xiaolian who was still in Shirong's grasp, watched it all with moist eyes. She was truly terrified about everything.

'How did he have access to the meetings of the Tieba City's lords? That is incredibly secure. Did he actually get those lords over on his side? Or does he have some spies in there?' Xiaolian had no idea.

She knew that if Shirong could have access to not just the contents of the netting but also had recorded video evidence of it all, there was no limit to the sensitive information he might have had.

'All my work… all the preparation… it will all be for naught like this.' Ji Xiaolian thought.

But while Xiaolian was thinking all this, Shirong had a smile on his face.

"My fellow clansmen, as you can see, these traitors of the clan do not accept their crimes." Shirong ignored the protests.

"Thus, I have decided to finish this quickly and with my own hands." He added, his power increasing.

"You… what are you doing?" the elders realized the danger.

"I'm simply eliminating the weeds from the roots… no more hiding." Shirong said before the sky exploded.

~KABOOM~
