The Geared Immortal

Chapter 780

(Unedited)

…

With a quick move of his hand, Hao Long did not hesitate to throw out a disk in the air. The disk looks like a Frisbee as it flew in the air.

When that lord saw that disk, he suddenly frowns but did not bother with it. With his strength that is at the late stages of the lord's level, how could he fear an attack from a mere gold level young immortal?

But in front of his eyes, he suddenly saw a blinding flash.

That blinding flash covered everything within a 2-kilometer radius. It was too blinding that even those lords in the skies covered their eyes.

Then suddenly a large glyph appears blotting the skies.

Those who are not in the know showed confusion as the glyph gave their bodies a warm feeling and seem to have calmed their souls.

Yet this is the opposite of those who know what that thing is.

A few of the lords suddenly wanted to run away. But before they knew it, their bodies suddenly began convulsing as if something from inside them is in pain.

This scene was caught in the camera, and when those arrays were shown on the big screen, those that are knowledgeable in array formation immediately remembered those arrays.

In fact, in a city, a high lord suddenly rose up in the air and began writing something in the air. When he was done, the array he wrote suddenly flew towards the barrier protecting the city. When it combines with the array, a bright light erupted which covered the whole city.

Then the high lord heard a lot of people began crying and convulsing on the ground. He knew that his decision was correct. From the words of that young man, he could tell that there is truly a conspiracy that is happening.

And because he has already doubted one of the saint rulers ruling their great city, he did not hesitate to act immediately with his conjecture.

From his spot above the tower, he immediately saw the saint ruler which he suspected to be 'possessed' began trembling on the ground.

Then from his body, he could see a huge dark shadow being extracted as it screamed in pain.

Everyone in that room is showing terrified expressions on their faces. They all knew that someone from the city acted fast and copied that mysterious glyph and because of that, it freed their city from those shadow auras.

This event did not only happen in one major city in the human territory.

In the city where Flame Lord Krol is, he has made a quick move and immediately drawn that script in front of many eyes.

When he did that, he already saw around 50 people suddenly darting out to stop him. But how could they be stronger than a peak level high lord? He easily completed the mysterious glyph while defeating those people attacking him.

Then just like in many major cities, that glyph combined with its barrier and began purging the city of the shadow auras in it.

But some cities which were abandoned by their saint rulers because of the suspected evil influence were not able to create the glyphs. One of those cities is Omin city, the capital city of the Osmond clan. This is because the saint rulers of the city have decided to retreat and now the only saint ruler watching this city is Yigan Osmond.

…

Meanwhile, in the battleground, Hao Long has already retreated and hidden from this place. He has done what he planned to do, no need to stay in this place. He decided to wait in silence.

At that time several judges of the contest are watching the scene below them with great confusion as they did not expect that the light would have an effect on some of their fellow judges. In fact, before this, they wanted to intervene with the scene when they found that a contestant is going to use the black cube.

They were also wondering how it came to be in the contest. However, they were stopped by some of their fellow judges which made them think that something is wrong.

Seeing those black smokes coming out of the bodies of the judges and some of the contestants, they were all flabbergasted.

"It seems that what the young man said is not just his conjecture. The shadow beings have actually infiltrated this sacred contest."

"I can't believe that they have fallen under the influence of the enemy…"

"Well, this only proves that the enemy has already corrupted our ranks. I think we should…"

But before the judges could say anything else, they suddenly saw a wide tear in space as a few figures came out.

Those figures were the saint rulers which were representatives from the seven main clans in the human race. Leading the group is a tall young man with silver hair and a pair of silver-colored wolf's ears on his head.

But out of seven, there are only 5 of them that have appeared out of the spatial tear. When those saint rulers appear, the entire area was immediately under their strong domain. Hao Long has found himself unable to move as if frozen in space. He knew that this is the true strength of a saint ruler, a figure that is just below the deity realm.

"All of you have shown great progress and has truly made us proud." One of the five saint rulers said while the group is floating towards the judges of the tournament.

The reason for their appearance is because right now, only 18 people are left. Most of those who fell seems to have been infected by the dark aura which made them fell off their flying artifacts.

While they are talking, the five suddenly turned in the direction of Hao Long.

With a wave of their hands, Hao Long's figure helplessly floated and ended up appearing in front of the saint rulers.

"Young man, you have greatly affected the progress of the contest… Although you have purged the evil aura of the shadow, you still disrupted the flow of the event… for this reason, I have to punish you." that saint ruler said as he lifts his hand.

Strange energy began to appear and it seeps into Hao Long's body. Hao Long could feel his whole body immediately tremble in pain.

"Wait!" suddenly a female saint ruler lifts her hand to stop what her companion is doing.

"What is it, Saint ruler Wilma Wine, is something wrong?…" the man said but did not stop what he is doing.

Wilma Wine frowns upon seeing his action. This is the same guy who created the spatial tear and sent everyone in this place.

The tall young man with silver wolf ears suddenly strode forward and with a flick of his hand released Hao Long from his constraints. Then he immediately grabs Hao Long and places him behind his back. Hao Long could not do anything as these powerful beings are treating him as if he is nothing.

With their powers and level, how could Hao Long go against them? He could only blame himself for being weak.

"What is the meaning of this!" the saint ruler who wanted to teach Hao Long a lesson growled.

As of this moment, he is really angry. And the reason for that is because this young man has foiled the plan his master has successfully laid about. He wanted to extract the soul of this young immortal to see how he is able to get rid of those dark auras that they have implanted in the bodies of their victims.

Luckily for him, his master told him not to take in a shadow aura for himself. This is to ensure that their plans would work well even if he is discovered.

"Saint ruler, Kong Lai… it seems that you are jumping easily to a conclusion. And you are acting really weird…" the young man said with a frown.

Hearing the young man's words, Kong Lai felt like the fire of anger in his body was doused with cold water. He realized that his changing temper has gotten a better hold on him and immediately changes his expression.

"Ahem… I'm sorry about that. I was just too angry when that little imp insulted us…" he said while clearing his throat and trying to explain his action.

Everyone looks at him with a strange expression but did not dwell on this event. They all shifted their gaze towards the 18 winners of the competition.

Then everyone was once again gathered, and Kong Lai opened a spatial tear in the air and then everyone flew inside the spatial tear. However, a sinister glint appears in Kong Lai's eyes as his gaze landed on Hao Long.

  As soon as Hao Long's body enters the spatial tear he suddenly noticed an anomaly.

He knew that he was the target of that anomaly and it was that saint ruler named Kong Lai who deliberately did this.

This space is his domain and skill, so he knew that he has fallen in the enemy's hand. But he is helpless at this time as the enemy is truly very powerful and stronger than himself.

With that, his figure drifted in that spatial void helplessly.
