The Geared Immortal

Chapter 453

/*unedited*/

Surrounded by a few strong men with decent cultivation levels, the figures of Shin Jiao and Wen Mo Yang just stood rooted to their spot. This made the men think that the two are scared stiff at their domineering aura and made them feel excited.

When one is trying to dominate other people, it's an addicting feeling that they have been used to it after doing it for a long time.

The surrounding traveler who saw this scene all of them are taking a detour so that they would not be implicated with the situation.

However, it would seem that not all wanted to dodge the situation as now there are a few groups of people who have now joined the fun. Two groups that belong to different factions have now completely encircled the two. One of them is a group of people wearing black clothes, and the other one is a group of people wearing brown leather armors.

And now all the routes of the two seem to be blocked by these bullies who are currently looking at the two lambs in their clutches.

"Mr. Wei, Ms. Fifi, nice seeing you two again…" a handsome young master wearing exquisitely designed golden cultivator's garb.

"Haha… Master Ji Zhuang is very courteous… we haven't seen you for a long time and it seems that your cultivation level has reached the gold core realm… what a talented young man." the man in his 30's called Mr. Wei said while cupping his hands.

But the woman in black clothes who was called Ms. Fifi didn't say anything and just look at Shin Jiao with a knitted brow.

She has noticed that Shin Jiao seems to be just a mortal, but the woman beside him who is a gold core realm cultivator in the late stages is actually trying to hide behind the man. This made her feel that something is wrong with the situation.

In fact, she too is interested in the contraption that the two were riding and wanted it for herself. And since she saw that the woman is just in the gold core realm, she is confident that is would be easy to take it from her. However, things are not what they seem, so she just wanted to watch and see the situation.

The three people are riding inside their own luxurious looking carriages carrying their own emblems.

"Master Ji, this smell of trouble. Those three belong to the strong factions inside the city. The man in the golden robe is the young master of Zhuang clan, a rich clan inside the city. That man wearing a brown robe and leading these leader clad mercenaries is a black market merchant… and that young woman in black clothing is the young miss of the Lao clan a mercenary clan. As you can see they belong to some of the powerhouses in the city." She explained in a low tone.

When Shin Jiao heard her words, he was silent. He didn't want to attract too much attention and just use the teleportation portal of the city. But it seems that it would not be that simple. He didn't want to experience another mishap in using the portals as it seems that they are not that stable.

So he needs to resolve this problem first. If he needs to uproot some families to be safe, then he would. His safety is his concern right at this moment and his heart longed to see Susan. But of course, he knew that it would take time before that happens.

Clenching his fist, he turns his gaze to the three carriages not too far from them.

"I will try and make my move. Hold on to this." Shin Jiao said as he gave Wen Mo Yang an artifact.

"What… what is this Master Ji?" she asked in confusion.

"It's a shield… just focus your Qi in that handle."

"Wait, master, don't be too rash… I think we can resolve this peacefully. Let me try first, okay?" she said as she suddenly walked in front of Shin Jiao.

"Esteemed masters and miss, I am Wen Mo Yang from the Xilu Academy in Dongxi city. I just arrive in this city with my friend. I am to report to the academy today." She said as she took out a palm-size jade with an embedded word on it which says Xilu Academy.

This jade identification slab is not a normal trinket. It is carried by each student of the academy and has traces of their aura. If any mishaps happen to any students within the city, they can activate it and the academy can send a helper to assist the student.

This is one of the reasons why Xilu academy is famous in the city and is valued as a great academy that has produced thousands of talents everywhere in the kingdom.

When the three people saw the jade slab and the words, a hint of surprise appears on their faces.

"Ah, so it's Sister Yang… I didn't expect that a fellow student would be here." Ji Zhuang said with a smile on his face.

He too is actually a student in the academy; however, he has not yet entered the elites as he has not reached the gold core realm before. But since he focused on cultivating during vacation time, plus the pills and resources given to him by his family he forcefully reached the 1st level of the gold core realm. And this would qualify him to enter the elite in the academy.

Since the young woman is actually a fellow student and also a gold core realm expert, she's maybe one of the elites, hence he didn't want to offend her at this time.

However, he could not just give up on that wonderful machine that he just saw and had a plan.

"Since we are both students of the same academy, why not I give you a gift and you too can give me that machine of your as a gift… a fair exchange, right?" he said with a grin.

When the two people in the carriages beside him heard this, they both scowled at his shamelessness. But they cannot refute as the academy is very critical to their elite students. And they already knew that the young woman is one of those elites. But of course, they too would not give up on such a rare treasure.

"Young master Zhuang, your appetite is too large. Why don't we compete then? Who can offer the highest price would get the treasure."

"Yes, I agree with Mr.Wei." the woman who didn't speak just said in agreement.

The three shamelessly acted like Shin Jiao's hoverbike is already in their hands and didn't even consider if he would disagree or not.

Seeing this, Wen Mo Yang is a bit angry and felt helpless. If worse comes to worst she can just run with Master Ji towards the city.

She clenched her hand and turn to look at Shin Jiao.

"Master Ji, I'm sorry, it seems that we can just escape." She said in a low tone.

Seeing her reaction, the woman who is observant immediately knew what Wen Mo Yang was thinking. And a sneer appears in her beautiful face.

"Do you think you can escape us young miss?" she said nonchalantly.

The two in the other carts were a bit taken aback by her words and also turn to the direction of Shin Jiao and Wen Mo Yang.

"Haha… even though you are a student of the academy, as long as we didn't kill you, the academy would not make their move on us…" Mr. Wei said with a grin.

"Everyone, catch them!" shouted Ji Zhuang.

With a wave of his hand, the group surrounding Shin Jiao and Wen Mo Yang immediately began to converge they can't wait to get their hands on the two people. But their focus in not on Shin Jiao but on Wen Mo Yang because she has high cultivation.

"I guess teaching some people some lesson is the right thing to do at this moment." Shin Jiao thought.

He wanted to just take Wen Mo Yang and escape. However, if he didn't instill fear in these bozos then they would just continue to find trouble to them even after they enter the city. So he grabs, Wen Mo Yang's hand and drags her behind him.

"It's not worth it to talk to these people. Let me make a move…"

"Wait, master Ji, we… we can't offend them…" she said in a low tone feeling scared.

Shin Jiao just gave her a sneer on his face. He knows what she is feeling right now and he also knows that she fears retaliation from the group. However, he would not just stand by and watch. If he can stop trouble from happening before it starts, then why not.

With a sudden movement of his body, all the cultivators around the two were thrown to the side. All of them were immediately turn to cripple. Since they were eyeing Wen Mo Yang with hostility, he would not forgive them as he is not a saint.

Ever since cultivating, he already understood that the logic on earth is not applicable to this planet.

Seeing their men being thrown to the side with ease by the man who looks like a mortal, the three inside their own carriages had a look of fear in their eyes.

"He… he is an infant soul realm cultivator?" Ji Zhuang thought as his hand suddenly shook.

"I… Is he at the nascent realm?…" the woman Fifi Lao muttered while her back is drenched in a cold sweat.

Mr. Wei on the other hand didn't flinch and just took out something from within his ring and with a sneer on his face, secretly pointer the rifle towards Shin Jiao.

"No matter how powerful you are, you are not a match with this new weapon from Shin City…" he thought as he pulled the trigger.
