Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 1033 The Trapped Hu Dagao

In the middle of a dense forest, a man arrived.

He wore a robe that had a white tiger pattern, while an aura of sharpness emanated from him. On his face thee was an expression of tenseness, while on his back two wings that seemed to be condensed from runes were seen.

~KACHA~

After landing on the ground, the wings behind the man's back shattered. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

"Can't believe I had to use the Great Wing Talisman for something like this… What a shame…" Hu Peiliang shook his head.

The Great Wing Talisman was a high grade talisman that was very difficult to refine. It could provide a great speed boost to a cultivator and could be used for both support during a battle as well as a life saving trump card.

One could use it in a battle to explosively increase their speed and finish off their foe, or using it when facing an overwhelmingly strong opponent to escape.

Even in the Hu clan, there were only a few such Great Wing Talismans and the method of refining them was only known to two people in the entire clan. One was their ancestor, and the other was their patriarch.

The Great Wing Talisman which was supposed to be one of Hu Peiliang's life-saving measures was now turned into a quicker way of traveling. Of course, if he was not forced in his current situation, he would not have used it.

"Hu Dagao… you better have some information. Otherwise you will have no worth… it will be better to have you dead than alive." Hu Peiliang muttered as a dark expression appeared on his face.

Originally Hu Peiliang and Hu Shui didn't intend to get rid of Hu Dagao. After all, the Hu clan had the life wisps of all its members and for direct heirs, it was heavily monitored.

The only reason why the Hu clan's patriarch hadn't acted himself after to Hu Dagao's disappearance was because his life wisp hadn't gone out. If it went out, it meant that he had died and then the patriarch would have no option but to act.

Even for Hu Peiliang and Hu Shui dealing with that would be very difficult.

But now that there was a new monster causing havoc on the continent and even challenging the ruling power openly, Hu Peiliang had an excuse. To him, if Hu Dagao had links to the Calamity Fiend, he would be able to avoid trouble by shifting blame.

He could simply claim to his father that he had suspected Hu Dagao to have been behind it and thus imprisoned him. While he would still get punished, it would be nothing compared to what he would originally get.

And if Hu Dagao didn't know anything about the Calamity Fiend, Hu Peiliang could simply kill him and let the monster take the blame. Either way, he would be able to avoid the ire of his father.

~Sigh~

Letting out a breath, Hu Peiliang walked towards the depths of the forest. At a certain point though, he seemingly passed through a transparent membrane that was suspended in the air.

Even if one used spirit Qi to sense it, they would find it very difficult to detect this membrane. This was the highest quality isolation array that was within the means of Hu Peiliang. It could even prevent an Immortal Ascension realm expert from sensing it, unless they were very close.

~shua~

After passing through the isolation array, Hu Peiliang appeared in what looked like a small hill. The hill was about fifty meters tall and a hundred meters wide. Such a hill would not stand out anywhere and could easily merge with the backdrop of the forest with how many plants and trees were growing on it.

But this was merely an illusion.

Hu Peiliang took out a token and held it up to the hill.

~HUMM~

The token let out a wave of energy that covered the hill within moments.

~SHUA~ 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

Then the hill started to flicker before 'melting'. And when it was fully melted, one could see six pillars appear. Each of the pillars was densely covered in runes and it was difficult to tell what they meant.

Hu Peiliang walked up to the six pillars and placed the token in the middle of all of them.

~HONG~

As soon as he did, the token lit up before releasing a string of runes. These runes activated the six pillars, making the runes on them glow with power.

"Activate!" Hu Peiliang infused spirit Qi into the six pillars, controlling the formations on them.

A few seconds later, the six pillars released a ray of light, each that connected in the center. The six rays of light created a flat mirror like a disc in the center that continued to expand until it reached a diameter of two meters.

Spatial fluctuations could be felt coming from the flat disc and one could now tell that it was actually a portal!

~huu~

"No option but to walk in now…" Hu Peiliang took a breath and entered the portal.

The portal flickered as Hu Peiliang walked in. He felt his vision go dark for a moment before finding himself in a new place.

The location was a gloomy grey in color, with the occasional glimmer of strange lights moving around.

'So this is what an independent minor plane looks like…' Hu Peiliang could tell that he was basically standing in a pocket of space that was floating in the void.

Below him there was darkness, and around him there was darkness too. There was just a thing grey layer that separated this place from the rest of the void and also illuminated it a bit.

And in the center of this location, a man was chained.

The chains were made out of runes as well and locked his arms, legs, and head in place.

~step~step~step~

The sound of steps could be heard in the gloomy space, awakening the chained man.

"Who is it?" Hu Dagao's voice could be heard, anger suppressed within it.
