Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 1082  The Gui Clan

Somewhere in the Gui Continent there existed a colossal glacier.

From the middle of this glacier rose a mountain range, that looked like a giant spine if one looked at it from afar. It was totally covered by snow, and as such, it was very difficult for one to make out that the area was any different from the rest of the continent.

There was simply a vast expanse of white everywhere, with the grey rocky mountains that could be seen popping in between the snow. It looked rather mundane and no one would be able to tell that this area was very special.

Or rather, it was the most important area in the entire Gui Continent.

This was none other than the location of the Gui Clan!

More accurately, the entire area was a disguise for the true location of the clan. The Gui clan existed below the colossal glacier and the mountain range. If one could look through it all, they would see that the glacier was actually a dome covering the clan's home.

The scene below the glacier was unlike anything one would expect from a frozen hell like the Gui Continent.

Vibrant green trees spread along the valley formed by the mountain range that rose from the middle of the glacier. Rivers ran down the mountains, streaking through the valley before finally pooling into several lakes that were present below.

Flowers, grass and an abundance of fruits surrounded these lakes along with tens of buildings. There were courtyards, training grounds, temples, pavilions and more spread across the entire valley and the landscape. The Gui clan had created a paradise hidden within this frozen wasteland and no one knew about it other than a handful few.

In the center of this area stood a giant building. Its roof was shaped like a tortoise shell, while its four supporting pillars looked like the legs of a tortoise. From its back rose a snake's head that gazed at the valley, while on its front one could see a giant tortoise head. It had a sharp mouth, that seemed to be snapping at the sky, as if wishing to eat the clouds.

Its eyes held a deep wisdom, and yet a hidden might could be felt from it.

~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

Three people landed in front of the tortoise shaped building. All three of them were old, with one of them being a woman and the rest men.

They were dressed in black and blue robes, with the pattern of a tortoise shell on their backs. Among the three, the woman was the strongest and had a cultivation base at the Immortal Ascension Stage. Whereas the two old men seemed to be at the peak of the Dao Treading realm.

"Are you sure we should answer this, Ancestor?" One of the old men questioned.

"We have to. There have been far too many requests now." The old woman answered.

"The Patriarch is right, there are always requests. It doesn't mean we can just open up the clan again." The second old man replied.

"This isn't like before. We have had hundreds of requests in just the past week. Only our members can request for help at this moment. Even if we have been put in a disadvantage, we have to answer them now." The old woman who was the Ancestor of the Gui Clan spoke, a look of disappointment on her face. "Are you going to keep on hiding Clan Patriarch?" The Old man questioned, looking deep into the eyes of the first old man.

The patriarch furrowed his brows before looking at the other man. "Supreme Elder, we'll open it for one minute. Once we have checked what is the issue, we'll close it." The patriarch stated.

"As you wish, Patriarch." The Supreme Elder said before raising his hand towards the tortoise building.

~SHUA~

A stream of runes spread from his hand and entered the head of the building.

This caused the eyes of the Tortoise to glow and a wave of energy spread from it.

~HISS~

The snake head at the back of the tortoise opened its eyes and started to move. It rose into the sky and continued to do so until it reached the doom ceiling of the entire clan. There, it passed through the solid glacier, ice melting as it passed through it with ease.

It quickly rose above the colossal glacier and even reached the top of the mountain peaks that went through the center of the Gui Clan.

~HUMM~

Once it reached here, it opened its mouth which caused hundreds of streaks of energy to shoot towards it. They came from all directions and looked like they had been waiting for a long time.

The energy streaks rushed into the mouth of the snake before it quickly started to retreat back into the glacier.

The hole in the glacier froze automatically, leaving no trace behind. And once the snake head had turned to its normal position, the eyes of the tortoise projected a formation screen in front of the three old people.

~SHUA~

Lots of information appeared on the formation screen, which the three could see.

"What in the… Heavens save us!" The Supreme Elder was utterly shocked upon reading it all.

~gulp~

The patriarch swallowed his saliva after seeing it, while the Ancestor let out a sigh.

"We haven't even recovered from the previous threat and now a new one has arrived." The ancestor spoke, her face showing fatigue.

"A monster named Calamity Fiend is wreaking havoc across the continent… Icy Swan City, Frozen Gourd City, Sharp Hill City…" The Patriarch read the names one by one. "All gone… they're all gone." He said feeling scared.

"Over a hundred cities and thousands of towns… wiped out." The Supreme elder counted feeling the blood leaving his face.

"Our solitude has cost the continent its life… We can no longer hide." The ancestor spoke. "OPEN THE CLAN! IT IS TIME FOR A WAR!" She declared.

Unknown to them, tens of kilometers away from the Gui Clan, their adversary was waiting.

~DING~
