The Geared Immortal

Chapter 524

/*unedited*/

Two people are facing together as one of them has his eyes closed while a strong aura fluctuation engulfed an area of about 5 meters. The young man in front of that man squinted his eyes and knitted his brow as he can feel a strong pressure bombarding his body.

Shin Jiao can feel like his whole physique suddenly entering a quagmire which restricted his movements. Bounded and unable to move even an inch, that is the feeling she gets. This weird feeling that he is experiencing is also being felt by those within the 5-meter radius, but the old men weren't affected that much. One can even see a faint glow of spiritual Qi surrounding their bodies. 

Upon feeling this strangeness, Shin Jiao immediately knew that he is inside the vice sect leader's domain. And this made him curious. He has already known about domains and saw at least types. Now, experiencing another type of domain made him feel excited instead of fear.

His eyes are glued to the man and his senses are open to receive the domain in his surroundings. He dare not use his absolute sense, because he didn't know if this powerful person can feel it. Hence he didn't want to expose his trump card not unless his life is in danger.

"This domain… it's…"

"Simple…"

"It's not anything different from Yao Mai's domain… I guess basic area domains are just the same… Hmm, I guess mine is different because I can use absolute sense." Shin Jiao thought as he began feeling the aura bombarding his body.

In most cases, if a world nascent basic domain engulfs their target, the first to be affected would be the target's mentality. The mental pressure would make their target feel lethargic, dizzy, and confused.

So if the target is only in the infant soul realm and lower. The huge difference in the cultivation level can make one unable to bear the spiritual pressure from such a strong cultivator. And most of them would be rendered unconscious almost immediately.

But this is not what is happening right now. The vice sect leader and the other masters are currently looking at Shin Jiao with complicated looks on their faces. Shin Jiao on the other hand because of curiosity resisted the domain of the man.

But then he immediately noticed that the people are looking at him with suspicion hence he suddenly fell on one knee.

Upon seeing the young man fall to the ground, the masters relax their expression as if they are expecting such a thing to happen. But the vice sect leader is still suspicious. He is the one who is using the domain and every reaction and things inside his domain are in his control. He is like a god who has control over everything in his domain space.

To confirm his suspicion he suddenly increases his domain and pressure.

Everyone was dumbfounded and wanted to say anything but they were unable to do so as they are all inside the vice sect leader's domain. If they wanted to break out they would use their own domain and force their way out. But the colliding of two forces would make these young lower realm young men to be severely wounded. Or they might even have their cores cracked.

If that happens then it would be a waste.

So they dare not interrupt the domain. None of them would dare move, except for one, the red-hooded man, the representative of the Blood Moon Sect.

Hong Kiong was sent by their sect leader to find a gifted youth who can see their special aura. And from the time that he saw the young man he immediately notice something peculiar about him. It was like an instinct, he felt both danger and curiosity towards the young man in front of him.

Suddenly he notices that he seem to be looking at him with a curious gaze. Hence he thought that his suspicion was correct. The young man might have seen or noticed his special aura.

"This young lad is interesting… Hehe… Let's see if he can survive this." Hong Kiong said as a strong pressure erupted from his body and began attacking the domain of the vice sect master.

"What are you doing, Hong Kiong?! Stop now!"

"Vice sect master, I don't think this young lad is that easy. Why don't I take over from here?" Hong Kiong said with a smile as he began to increase his domain pressure.

The vice sect leader showed an angry expression on his face, but he didn't hesitate due to the danger it would cause. He immediately retracted his domain.

Once his domain is gone the rest of the masters immediately jump back. The old man carried Gu Guxhing while the vice sect leader grabs the hand of the haughty young man and jumps a few meters away out of the range of Hong Kiong's domain.

When this happens, Shin Jiao felt his body suddenly being released from the strong pressure. However, as soon as that happened, he was immediately consumed by another domain pressure. This time he noticed the difference.

This type of domain space is a bit malicious and has ill intent on them.

He knew that if he didn't resist this type of domain would try to consume his energy and even extract his soul.

"What is the meaning of this?" Shin Jiao asked with gritted teeth.

Then he heard an eerie voice.

"Hihi… You are as talented as I thought. But do you think you can fool me? Who are you? Why do you want to enter the city? And what do you want?" Hong Kiong asked then his eyes started glowing.

"I… I am just here… to… to find my friend. But when… when I saw your aura… I notice… that… that you and he are the same." Shin Jiao is acting like he is trying to resist the pressure while still kneeling on the ground on one knee.

He dare not tell a lie at this moment, but he also didn't want to tell the whole truth.

"Haha… is that so? Then the reason why you wanted to enter the sects is because of that person? What is his name?"

"He… His name is… Shin Jiao." Shin Jiao said as if trying to resist the pressure.

When the masters heard the name, they were all dumbfounded. This is because that name is famous all over the continent. That is the name of the hero who freed the demons and ended the war. He is the man who sacrificed himself for the good of all.

However, none of them has entered the war at that time as they are busy trying to protect their own sects and has never seen his face, so they all only heard that name.

"What are you talking about? The hero of the continent named Shin Jiao is already dead, how can he be here?"

Hong Kiong suddenly released his domain and free Shin Jiao.

Upon feeling the loss of the pressure, Shin Jiao calmly stood up while wiping the blood trickling down the side of his mouth.

"Masters, my friend is also named Shin Jiao. But he is not the hero of the continent. He is just some normal guy and has a particular unique aura. I wanted to see him, so when I saw your unique aura, I thought that he might be related to you and he might be in your sect." Shin Jiao explained as he slowly stood up.

"Haha… So you mean you wanted to join the Blood Moon Sect?" Hong Kiong asked with a smile on his face.

Although he didn't believe the young man yet, he can see the sincerity in his eyes, so he would give him a chance.

Shin Jiao nodded his head and cupped his hands.

"Please master… I have been looking for my friend for a long time. I only have him as my family." Shin Jiao said without batting an eye.

"Alright, I will accept you then… Hahaha…" Hong Kiong chuckled as he walked close to Shin Jiao and patted his shoulder.

However, right at this time, the vice sect leader walked forward. He then bellowed while looking at a Hong Kiong with an angry expression on his face.

"What is the meaning of this Hong Kiong?" the vice sect leader shouted as he pointed at the red hooded man.

"Hey, hey… vice sect leader Dhaling Khang, your Lotus Sect already has many geniuses. My Blood Moon sect only has a few… since this young man wanted to join us, why can't I accept him." Hong Kiong said with a grin.

Hong Kiong is a very resolute person and is well-known for his overbearing attitude and unruly behavior. Those who knew him to know that he would always do what he wanted to do. And no one can stop him except for the old man from the Blood Moon Sect.

And so everyone just showed annoyance in their faces. They didn't want to start any fighting amongst themselves, plus the young man has already made his choice.

"Shameless… Boy… Do you really want to join their sect? I will give you another chance… in my sect, you will grow stronger and more powerful than you are now. We are the number one sect in these lands." Dhaling Khang said.

This time he would try to throw his weight and prestige just to get a good student. Hence he threw all pretense and said those things.

"Haha…"

"Vice sect leader… I am sorry, but… my friend is important to me. This is my decision… I would like to express my sincere apology." Shin Jiao suddenly said before Hong Kiong could talk.

Seeing Shin Jiao's sincerity, Dhaling Khang took a deep breath and waves his hand.

"Alright, alright… I can understand your sentiments. I wish that you will grow strong in the future and become one of the pillars of our great city."

With his words, Dhaling Khang turns around and flew towards the sky.

The rest of the masters also followed, they can see that there is no other who was able to enter the celestial gate, so they decided to go back to their previous positions.

"Haha… Not bad… follow this great one; I will take you to meet the team leader in this city. He will take you to the sect." Hong Kiong said as he flew up while grabbing Shin Jiao's collar.

Shin Jiao didn't fight back and just let himself be carried.. However, a flash of annoyance came to his face but then vanished in an instant.
