Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 1034 A Mistaken Identity?

Hu Dagao had been trapped in this place for a while now and had been very frustrated.

This was the first time he had ended up in a situation like this. Not only did it feel irritating to him, it was also humiliating since there was no one that actually came to see him. Even if he was trapped, there must be a reason for it, or so he had thought.

But seeing that no one came, it made him think that his captor might have found him to not be worth his time.

It was even worse than the time when Lin Wu had suppressed him.

'At least Master Lin Wu had given me a chance to fight. The trap is pathetic! Not even daring to face me!' Hu Dagao thought.

And now that he had finally heard someone appear, he could barely hold his anger back.

If not for the fact that he was chained up and facing the other way, he would have already pounced on the person who had appeared.

~step~step~step~

But the person did not answer him at all, simply walking around him and standing in front of him.

"You... HU PEILIANG!" As soon as Hu Dagao saw the face of his elder brother, he exploded with anger.

If not for the chains restraining him, his aura would have easily covered the entire area while the spirit Qi waves might have whipped up gales!

"Junior brother... I see that your seclusion here hasn't calmed your temper much." Hu Peiliang replied, not caring about the man's bearing.

"YOU DARE SAY THAT TO ME!?" Hu Dagao shouted while pulling on the chains.

They were being stretched tightly and if not for being a peak grade formation array, it might have already been broken.

"Tsk~ Tsk~ Tsk~" Hu Peiliang shook his head. "You never managed to gain a calm demeanor. Perhaps this seclusion was not good enough for you." He taunted.

"Calm demeanor? Remove my restraints and let me show you what demeanor I've gained!" Hu Dagao responded while trying to circulate his spirit Qi.

"Hmm... I might actually do that." Hu Peiliang said, surprising Hu Dagao a bit. "But... you will have to answer some of my questions."

"Bah! What questions?" Hu Dagao replied while spitting at the man.

Hu Peiliang easily dodged it, keeping his expression the same.

"Tell me... Who are you assisting and who is backing you up for the investments you have made?" Hu Peiliang asked directly.

Hearing this, Hu Dagao raised his brows before his lips twitched.

"Hah..." A chuckle escaped his lips. "HAHAHA!" but soon the chuckle turned into a full blown laughter.

"What's so funny? Why don't you tell me too?" Hu Peiliang asked.

"He has appeared, hasn't he?" Hu Dagao spoke. "No wonder you came to see me... you have no option left, do you?" he questioned.

"And who's this 'he' you are talking about?" Hu Peiliang said while trying to keep an expressionless face.

"Oh? Pretending to not know?" Hu Dagao grinned. "Well then... let me refresh it for you... Massive body... Crushing Power... An Aura that overwhelms..." he said one by one.

? This time, Hu Peiliang couldn't maintain his expression and broke his calm.

"Looks like you know him then..." Hu Dagao spoke with a smile. "Now you should know the trouble you've caused." He said in a mocking voice.

Hu Peiliang's lips twitched, but he kept silent.

"Tell me... what did he do that forced you to come here? Stopped some business? Broke a supply line? Or collapsed a mine?" Hu Dagao was curious.

"Business? Supply Line? Mine?" Hu Peiliang was now finding it a bit ridiculous. "You fool... I do not know what kind of a mistake you've made allying yourself with that... monster."

"Oh? So a being that is beyond your thinking is a monster now?" Hu Dagao retorted.

"Beyond my thinking? That monster has massacred Daching city and erased it from the face of the empire!" Hu Peiliang said out loud, losing his cool.

"Huh?" But Hu Dagao gave a response that was unlike the expected one. "That's not possible..." he muttered.

"Oh, but it is... He proclaims himself to be the Calamity Fiend." Hu Peiliang revealed.

"The Calamity fiend?" Hu Dagao was confused now. "That's not... him."

Hu Peiliang thought that Hu Dagao was pretending at first, but then he took a look at the bracelet he was wearing.

'He's not lying? The bracelet is now showing a reaction... but he was saying the truth about the massive being...' Hu Peiliang felt like something was wrong.

"Tell me in detail what that being looks like." Hu Dagao said next.

Hu Peiliang didn't answer this time, and simply took out a scroll.

~SHUA~

A moment later, the image of the Calamity Fiend could be seen as well as Danching city that was on the verge of being eradicated.

Hu Dagao was stunned seeing this.

"That's not him... that's not master." Hu Dagao said.

Hu Peiliang looked at his bracelet again, confirming that Hu Dagao really wasn't lying.

'If he isn't lying... and the calamity fiend isn't his backer, then... who is his master?' Hu Peiliang was now confused.

A hundred thoughts ran through his mind before he locked onto his initial goal.

"Seems like I've reached a dead end... doesn't matter though." Hu Peiliang spoke, his expression turning cold. "No matter what, the result will have to be the same." He then took out a saber pointing it towards Hu Dagao.

"What are you doing, Hu Peiliang?!" Hu Dagao questioned. "Ready to kill me already?"

~RUMBLE~

It was at this time that the entire minor plane shook. It was quite small in the first place, thus its movement felt very pronounced to the two inside.

Hu Peiliang was taken aback and looked around, unable to figure out what was happening.

~KACHA~ KACHA~ free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

Suddenly cracks appeared all over the minor plane, astonishing Hu Peiliang.

He felt danger and was intending to escape when he felt the entire area shifting.
