Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

258 Shadow Dagger Pavilion?

In the memories, Lin Wu had seen a symbol on the belt of the Nascent Soul realm cultivator. The symbol was that of three daggers arranged into a 'Y' shape. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

"System, check the data bank for the symbol." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The symbol belongs to the shadow dagger pavilion. They are an organization that undertakes jobs like assassination, heist, robbery, espionage and sabotage. They are one of the bigger criminal organizations in the Ling kingdom and a few nearby kingdoms.

A lot of clans have dealings with them and have involved them at some point in time. Even the Xiong clan has had a few dealings with the shadow dagger pavilion a few years ago.

——

Lin Wu nodded his head as he finally realized where he had seen the symbol. It was in the records of the Xiong clan where it recorded their business deals and trades. Lin Wu went over those records and saw their involvement.

"Oh, so they just hired them to cripple the business of a few merchants ten years ago. That's not as problematic…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Originally Lin Wu wanted to go over all the information as he didn't want to pass everything to Shirong. He would only give the part which would be more beneficial to him and would help him manipulate the man in his favor.

"I can just give him everything and see if he can figure out more from this…" Lin Wu decided before continuing.

"Alright system, transfer the memories to Shirong." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

INITIATING DATA TRANSFER: Data nodes selected

DATA TRANSFER: Initiated… please wait patiently

——

Shirong finally felt the connection between him and the Immortal Crystal Armament become active again and got the response. He had been wanting to get the memories like it had gotten from the traitor Elder Pei, and it was exactly what Lin Wu had done.

Shirong closed his eyes and let the memories pour into his mind. They started playing in his mind and he watched them one by one. Unlike Lin Wu who had the support of the system, Shirong couldn't control which memory he watched or the order, thus he ended up seeing the entire thing.

It took him over an hour for this and he felt a bit tired at the end of it as well. Had it not been for him reaching the Nascent Soul realm, he probably would have had a splitting headache at this point.

'Digesting the memories of fifteen men is not something easy even for me…' Shirong thought to himself as he analyzed the memories.

After the memories were fully transferred, Shirong could go over them as he liked and did not need to watch the entire thing from start to end.

If Lin Wu compared this to his past life, it was like watching a live stream. One could only watch as everything happened, but once the live stream was finished, they could rewind or directly skip to the part that they wanted to watch. The potential for control was much better, and it made it very convenient.

DATA TRANSFER: Completed

Unlike Lin Wu though, Shirong was easily able to recognize who the old man was.

"The shadow dagger pavilion… you have made a grave mistake targeting my people and in turn targeting me," Shirong said in a grim tone.

He looked through the memories further and imprinted the faces of the bandits on his mind.

"One of the branches of the Shadow dagger pavilion is in the capital itself. No wonder these guys had the courage to set up their hideout here. Hmm… the head should be either in the capital, or his whereabouts can probably be found from there." Shirong muttered to himself.

Lin Wu was amazed by this as he did not have this information and neither did the system.

"Ooo… seems like giving it to Shirong was indeed the better choice." Lin Wu nodded his head in appreciation.

Shirong opened his eyes that were filled with a fierce glint and he left the building. The corpses of the bandits were all desiccated as Lin Wu had sucked them dry and now he needed to get rid of it.

"Are you done, young master? Did you find clues!?" The servant asked.

"I did… they are much closer than I expected," Shirong replied.

"That's good. Should we head out then?" The servant questioned.

"Yes… but just a moment." Shirong said before turning around to face the bandit's hideout.

He extended his finger and spirit Qi waves rolled off him. Arcs of electricity traveled across his body before shooting out from his finger.

~Boom~

The power contained in that single small bolt of lightning was nothing to be scoffed at and exploded the hideout of the bandits.

~shua~

Fire ignited on its remains, and soon, everything burned down.

~gulp~

The guards and servant that were accompanying Shirong couldn't help but gulp in fear. They had seen him display his strength before when he fought with the bandits, but this was on a completely different level.

'Young master Shirong is truly a dragon amongst men…' They all thought.

Shirong nodded his head at this result and walked back to the carriage before climbing in.

"Let's go! I'm getting sick of this carriage. Continue at full speed." Shirong ordered.

"YES, YOUNG MASTER!" They all replied before the carriage started running at a much faster speed than before.

In fact, it was over three times as fast as before. They had been intentionally traveling slowly so that the bandits would have caught up to them in these past scene days. And now that they had found them and obtained more clues, they no longer had to keep hiding.

In less than thirty minutes, the carriage had already reached the entrance of the Ling kingdom's capital city. A long line could be seen outside of it, all different carriages waiting for their turn to be checked.

"MAKE WAY! THE YOUNG MASTER HAS ARRIVED!" A voice came from behind the gates.
