The Geared Immortal

Chapter 456

/*unedited*/

The Kingdom of Yi, Yi city

A huge city with an infrastructure that rises to the sky can make those living in another kingdom or even the empire amaze and dumbstruck once they can see the city even from outside of its walls. The changes within the city started when they incorporate and had a strong connection with the famous Shin city inside the Daemon forest.

Yi city might be the only city beside Shin city that has advance technological prowess within the empire. And as people's lives became easier and a bit comfortable, the progress of the city became apparent. The city is being protected by a huge dome formation that prevents flying artifacts from entering it. However, inside there are still flying ships but it uses electric generators as its engine instead of Qi generators.

As a group of people enters the city they were amazed at the combination of ancient infrastructure with modern ones. Even the people inside the city wore both ancient robes and modern clothing.

"Welcome to Yi city! Sister Susan, what do you think? It's amazing, right?" Mary said as she guided the group towards a 4-story building hotel.

"This is the most famous hotel in the city… as Princess Lou is a bit busy, I will be the one to guide you all." Mary said with a wide smile in her beautiful and charming face.

"Princess is truly awesome and knowledgeable."

"Her highness has truly explored this world… plus this is really amazing. They have the technology here that surpasses even those on earth."

"Hey, don't you know that it was Master Jiao that started this all."

The mages following the group discussed.

Meanwhile, Susan Tang and the mutants just silently observe their new surrounding and would sometimes take pictures of the buildings and the people.

"Damn it, I think there are no ugly men or women in this place…" muttered Magenta as his eyes roam around.

"Haha… This is what you call, the other world experience." The chubby Beat said with a grin.

As the group walks they also attracted some attention from the people around them. This is also because of Susan Tang's presence, as she truly looks like Qin Lou.

"Is that the crown princess? But she is not a cultivator."

"I think she just looks our crown princess…"

"Damn, no matter what, she is really beautiful… the crown princess is really a rare beauty."

The crowd would say upon seeing their group. Susan Tang has already understood this and didn't mind. In their travel to this place from Shin City then to the border city of Dis, she and Qin Lou have become close to each other.

She didn't know how she would feel if Shin Jiao would accept another woman in his heart. But she could also not deny the fact that he already has a son with the princess. Hence she just decided to wait and see.

As the group enters the hotel, a grand welcome greeted them. And in the middle of that grand welcome are two people who look like royalties.

"Welcome to my kingdom guests… Oh my… you really look like her." The middle-aged looking man said as he welcomes the group.

"Thank you, your highness…" Mary said as she curtsied towards the two men.

"We are happy to be here…" Susan Tang said as she too copied Mary's action.

The rest of the group also did the same thing. The mutant group and the rest of the mages are using a translator which was left by Shin Jiao for them so that they can communicate using the common language of the continent, whereas Susan Tang and Mary didn't need one.

Before coming here Shin Jiao has already taught them the basics of the language.

The reception was peaceful and the schedule of the group is already decided. They are here to learn more about this world and they would not let this chance pass by. This is true especially to those mages in the group.

Si Kingdom, Dongxi City

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is currently walking along the street with Wen Mo Yang, Jinan Xu, and Jobei Bai. The four of them have been to some stalls as they buy, eat, and talked while walking. Jinan Xu and Jobei Bai learned who Shin Jiao is and his true strength as Wen Mo Yang has explained it to them. And Shin Jiao also shared a lot of things with them.

"Master Ji, we have to go back to our school now as it is getting late already. It was a pleasure to meet you." Jinan Xu suddenly said with a cute smile.

"Likewise, Miss Xu… the three of you should take care of." Shin Jiao said as he cupped his hand.

Wen Mo Yang followed the two with reluctance as she still wanted to spend time listening to Shin Jiao. Actually one of the reasons why she wanted to stay is because, while walking, Shin Jiao explained to them some of his knowledge of sword arts. This has enlightened her a bit because she focuses on sword arts as a cultivator.

Even Jobei Bai is a bit reluctant to leave as he also found Shin Jiao's insight when it comes to sword arts interesting and engaging. But of course, as a proud man and a cultivator, he didn't want to show it.

So the three returned to the academy and left Shin Jiao as he continues to walk towards the portal's direction.

 Suddenly he stopped.

"Come out! I know you've been following us for a while now. Why don't you show yourselves?" Shin Jiao suddenly said when he turns to a corner.

"Haha… what a brave yet foolish person. I think you are courting death by walking in this dark alley." A tall man wearing black clothes said as he suddenly walked out of the shadow.

Shin Jiao was amazed at the technique the man used. In truth, he could not detect the man's presence even with the use of spiritual sense. Luckily for him, he has his absolute sense and was able to find the people following him.

"What do you want?" Shin Jiao asked in a cold tone.

When the people who walked out of the dark shadows heard this a sneer appears on their faces.

"Haha… We are from the Lao clan. We are here to invite you to visit our clan… or I would say force you to visit our clan… the higher-ups said that we should take you either alive or… dead." The man said with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Ahhh… Once again, the famous bully appears. This kingdom still lacks discipline and security… Sigh…"

"What an audacious comment… what do you say, follow us or die?"

"Did your young mistress said how I taught her bodyguards some lesson, right? If not, then, you lot are very unlucky. But if yes, then you people are the stupidest human I have known." Shin Jiao said with a mocking tone.

His words made every one of the mercenary assassins showed an angry expression on their eyes, which is the only visible area of their covered face.

"Kill this insolent brat!" shouted the man which seems to be their leader.

All of the men immediately moved and began to brandish their swords as they hack and slash towards Shin Jiao's direction. Wind and flame blades flew to the air as they approached Shin Jiao's figure. Seeing the action of the group, Shin Jiao just lifted his hand, and with the computer in his eyes spotting his targets, he easily marks them with his spiritual sense.

Then a handgun appears on his outstretched arm. With a quick pull of the trigger, he accurately shot the attacking people on their dantian.

Shin Jiao's move was too vicious as he deliberately wanted to cripple the group. But it was too late for them to regret their action.

One by one the mercenary assassins assaulting him fell to the ground. Some have broken gold core, and most have broken dantian. Either result has made all of them unable to cultivate anymore and was turned into trash.

Their only option is a very expensive pill, which has the power to restore their dantian. However, this pill is just a myth.

The men wailed on the ground while grabbing their stomachs. This time, they truly regretted not believing the young miss of the Lao clan. They were too proud to listen to the warnings of a young girl and now lost their cultivation. There truly is no medicine for regret in this world.

The leader stood rooted to the ground when he saw his men falling like flies. His leg is now shaking in fear while looking at the unassuming young person in front of his eyes.

"I will spare you all from death, but tell this to your leaders… I will visit the Lao clan one of these days. I hope that you can satisfy me with the reason why your clan attacked. If not, then… Hehe…" Shin Jiao said in a cold tone and an evil grin appear on his face.

The man slowly stepped back and suddenly left the area. While the rest of the men, pick themselves up and began running away in fear.

Shin Jiao just smiles and continues walking. Within the shadows, other groups have seen this scene and they were all dumbfounded. All of them immediately rush back to their clans and told them what happened. They dare not stay any longer unless they are stupid enough to suffer the same fate as those who lost their years of painstaking cultivation and tons of resources wasted.

Shin Jiao reached the portal's location and began spreading his absolute sense. He slowly recorded deep in his mind the patterns and the runes being used plus the structure of the portal.

"Very complex, yet interesting.." He muttered feeling contented of what he learned after scanning the portal.
