Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Wang Xiong and Cang Qing looked around wondering just what was happening. A few of the more powerful guests already had a bad feeling rising up in their stomachs.

~STEP~

~CLANG~

The first to stand up was none other than Shirong. The Emeraldine Heart Spear appeared in his hand and hit the floor with a crisp sound. A subtle pressure also started exuding from him, and if one looked into his eyes they would see faint streaks of purple running around.

"Everyone, should be ready. My intuition says, it is not going to be good." Shirong stated plainly.

Cang Anyu who heard this didn't feel good.

"Young Master Shirong, you do not need to be worried. The elders of the Cang Lan sect can handle anything. It would be incredibly disgraceful we would need our guests to act." Patriarch Cang Anyu said.

"That might have been fine if this was something normal, Patriarch. But you've clearly seen that the danger has not been discovered by the formation array nor by the elders." Shirong replied not caring for the man's opinion.

"Senior Brother Shirong is right, we cannot just wait like this." Wang Xiong said and was just about to stand up before being interrupted.

"You cannot act, junior Wang Xiong. Fighting on your wedding day will be a bad omen." The officiator of the wedding, who was the supreme elder of the Cang Lan sect spoke.

~step~step~step~

The other guests decided to join Shirong in preparing and stood up too. This included the elders who had accompanied Shirong, the two elders from the Long Clan as well as Lian Xiaojian with the elders accompanying him.

'Why does it feel like something large is approaching?' Lian Xiaojian wondered.

His Vital House Physique was something that focused on stockpiling vitality and this made him sensitive to vitality as a side effect. For most people he wouldn't feel much, but right now his senses were telling him that a large mass of vitality was nearby.

Lian Xiaojian couldn't tell the direction or the distance, but he certainly knew that it was approaching them.

Clenching his fists, he circulated his spirit Qi.

With such high profile guests seemingly preparing for a fight, the other common guests in attendance were worried.

"If even experts as strong as them are this concerned, then what can we do?"

"Will the Cang Lan sect tell us what is going on?"

"Why aren't the elders able to find out anything yet?"

A commotion started among the guests and continued to get louder by the second.

Cang Anyu tried to placate them, but it wasn't much of a use. Shirong and the others didn't pay any attention to the guests, only thinking about the coming problem.

'When was the last time I felt this clueless? It's certainly been a while…' Shirong thought to himself.

The Thunderpool Serpent Bloodline within him was stirring too. As if being alarmed by something.

~huu~

Shirong let out a breath before looking at his companions, "get ready and do not hesitate to use everything." He ordered.

"Yes, Young Master!" The elders replied, readying their skills and weapons.

~TREMBLE~

The ground started to shake with a far greater intensity than before, sending panic among the guests.

~BOOM~

And as if that was not enough, an explosion was heard in the distance!

"What was that?!" Cang Anyu questioned.

The Elder monitoring the formation array of the sect had a look of shock on his face.

"The… the… the outer sect barrier… it has collapsed!" The elder said with fear.

"WHAT!?" Cang Anyu was in disbelief.

~BOOM~

Another explosion was heard, but this time it was accompanied by thousands of people screaming.

"The Inner Sect Barrier has collapsed as well!" The Elder reported.

"How? How's this possible?" Cang Anyu felt his entire world view changing.

One must know that each of the barrier was stronger than other. Even the Outer Sect barrier would need an hour of constant attacks from Dao Treading realm experts to damage it.

And this was when the barrier was just passively working and no offensive arrays were being used along with it to resist the attacks.

Still, the outer barrier breaking was fine. What was not fine was the Inner barrier breaking just a few seconds after that. Not only was there several kilometers of distance between the two, but the Inner sect barrier was nearly twice as strong as the outer sect barrier.

It might take Dao Treading Realm experts more than two hours to damage it and break it. But despite that, both of them had been broken in less than five seconds.

'I can't let this happen!' Cang Anyu gritted his teeth and directly flew out of the great hall.

"All elders and guard disciples to me!" Cang Anyu ordered.

~shua~shua~shua~

The elders in the hall along with the disciples acting as guards all flew after Cang Anyu and left the great palace.

~RUMBLE~

A deep rumbling sound spread across the entire Cang Lan sect, making the people inside tremble.

~BOOM~ BOOM~ BOOM~

Cang Anyu and the rest finally saw what was breaking the barriers of the sect.

"What in the name of heavens is that!?" The elders were stunned.

In front of them, six large white pillars rose out from the ground. Each of the pillar was like a sharp thorn that directly ripped through the barrier of the sect and dispelled the formations.

No matter how many attacks hit the pillars, they weren't damaged at all.

~flicker~

The barrier of the sect was unable to bear the damage, and the runes flickered non stop.

~TREMBLE~

The six pillars receded into the ground, leaving behind large holes. Around these large holes, collapsed buildings as well as dead bodies could be seen too.

Evidently, the damage had been a lot more than the barriers. Thousands of people inside the sect were dead as collateral.

"WHO DARES ATTACK THE CANG LAN SECT!" Patriarch Cang Anyu was furious now.

The full pressure of a Dao Treading realm expert was released, and the very air started to shake.
