Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 998 Waiting For The Tenth Heir
Lin Wu watched Kulung worked and could guess that he was recording the information from the Qi Sapping ticks.
'So this is how they send a proper report. They actually have specialized tools for it. No wonder he said that the tenth heir wouldn't come without it.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
He knew just how much spirit qi he had poured into the qi sapping ticks and ti was an amount that was tempt nearly any cultivator. For comparison, if this much spirit qi was given to mortal humans with no cultivation base, they could cultivate all the way to the Peak of the Dao Shell realm with it.
And this wasn't just for a single person, but rather three to four.
Usually a cultivator wouldn't even have this much spare qi with them. Even if they did, transferring such a large amount might just end up regressing their own cultivation base.
This gave rise to another question in Lin Wu's mind.
'Since the people in the city have been doing it for such a long time, are there any side effects of their spirit q getting drained so many times?' Lin Wu wondered.
He took note of it and decided to check while he had the chance later.
Lin Wu watched as Kulung finished gathering the information using the spirit tool. Once that was done, he took out a normal communicator jade slip and touched the tassel to it, transferring the information over.
~shua~
The communication jade slip glowed lightly before a transmission was sent out.
"Now we wait." Kulung stated.
"How long does he usually take to reply?" Lin Wu asked.
"There is no saying. As the tenth heir, his duties are actually quite vast. He looks over the administration of several regions and holds the fourth largest territory overall in the Continent." City Lord Kulung replied.
"The fourth largest?" Lin Wu found it to be quite big.
After all, they were talking about an entire continent. Even if it was just fourth in number, it was on a large scale. One could even say that the tenth heir was the king of the fourth largest kingdom in a way.
'I may as well check on the people then…' Lin Wu diverted his attention and used his spirit sense to probe the commoners of the city.
They had all run away from the city lord's mansion now, fearing for their lives. The guards were the ones gathered around the place. They were talking amongst themselves, anxiety and fear present on their faces.
It was clear that they were worried about what had happened to the city lord.
They didn't dare to come close to the mansion either though, fearing the worst.
Lin Wu didn't pay much attention to them and simply observed the citizens. He let the system do a detailed scan on them, while he just waited. A few minutes later, the system had finished scanning most of the people and had its conclusion.
~DING~
——
ANALYSIS: Completed
CONCLUSION: According to the system's analysis, the humans of this city have no side effects from getting their spirit qi drained. But this is only possible due to the fact that almost all citizens had their spirit qi drained before they reached the qi refining realm.
Because of this, there was no backlash that they had to endure. On the other hand, if it was a qi refining realm cultivator or higher that had gone though the same, they might end up having internal injuries after a few cycles of draining.
According to the simulation that had been run, the chances of qi deviation will rise by 4% after every draining cycle.

Lin Wu found this to be quite interesting as this was actually an inferior version of his own draining method. He had been using the Pentagem implants and the crystal weapons to drain spirit qi from everyone that held them.
And yet, there was no long term damage to them. In fact, they couldn't even realize that their spirit qi was being drained. It as simply the perfect and clean method.
'If anything, this should help gather more data for the system…' Lin Wu reckoned.
"It's here!" Lin Mu was suddenly brought out of his thoughts by shout.
Opening his eyes, he gazed at city lord who was holding onto the jade slip. He had an expression of incredulity on his face as if he had just received some shocking news.
"What's here?" Lin Wu asked. ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
"The… the reply from the tenth heir is here." Kulung replied.
"That was fast… it hasn't even been an hour?" Lin Wu checked.
"It's really unexpected for him to reply this fast yes… but that's not all," Kulung spoke.
"What else? Did he say when he's coming over?" Lin Wu questioned, hoping that it wouldn't be too long.
"The Tenth Heir had said that he'll be here by tomorrow." Kulung answered.
"Tomorrow? Was he already in the area or something?" Lin Wu found it a little suspicious.
"He didn't say, he simply told me to prepare for his arrival." The city lord replied, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.
"Speak," Lin Wu could tell that the man wanted to say something else.
"M-my lord… the city lord mansion. We need to do something about it. The Tenth heir would be highly suspicious if he found it in this state." Kulung said with nervousness.
"Ah that. I'll take care of that, you go and make sure that the guards and others are fine too." Lin Wu ordered. "I want none to know of this."
"It shall be done!" Kulung accepted right away.
"Mmm." Lin Wu turned his attention to the city lord mansion and got to work.
~shua~
~Rumble~
The earth started to rise and the holes were filled. Not just that but the broken arrays also started to repair themselves under the system's control. The people that were watching from afar were left stunned.
The guards were alert but felt confused.
"How's everything being repaired?" they couldn't understand. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺
~SHUA~
"Everything is fine now."
"City lord!"
