The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1193

(Unedited)

…

The next day…

The sun in the sky gladly greets the people under its rule. Its golden rays provided the citizen living within the 5th fortress and the others below it new hope for a new day.

Xin Ja woke up and quickly checked his condition. He has already recovered the Ki in his dantian sphere after the whole night's rest. He has reached the 3rd level and his progress and the energy in his dantian sphere are constantly improving. Unlike others who needed to absorb pure Ki inside Ki stones or any other artifacts, Xin Ja could absorb even the murky and chaotic Ki in the environment.

And so… as he opens his eyes, he could immediately feel his body refreshed.

Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked at his door and he could tell that it is one of the servants in the manor.

"Come in…" Xin Ja said as he stands up and wore his robe.

The one who enters the room is a young lady with fair skin and a bit beautiful. Her arching thin brows, straight nose, and punkish lips are very attractive for her age.

One could tell that someone has sent her in this room to please Xin Ja. As a young person, Xin Ja could not help but feel attracted to the young lady who had just entered the room. But he quickly averted his gaze as the silent and introverted expression of Rou Chenchen appears on his mind.

"Young master… the madam has sent me to take care of your needs. Anything you wanted, just tell this servant and I will accomplish the things that you wanted." She said with a coquettish smile on her beautiful face.

Xin Ja did not look and just nodded his head as if he is busy looking at the dust on the floor.

"You can go now… I am already done with what I wanted to do…" Xin Ja said as he fixes the bandana he is wearing.

His hair is short so he did not want to show this to anyone.

He walks out of the room… he saw a familiar figure walking towards him. It was medical master Xiang. He is carrying his medicine box and he walks with a big grin on his face.

"Medical Master Xin,… do not leave yet… come with me for a second…" Medical Master Xiang said as he grabs Xin Ja's arm and lead him back to the room.

Before the young woman could follow, the door actually closes before her face making her almost fall to the ground. She could not help but show a grievance expression as she pouted and just stand in front of the door.

Although she feels a bit of discontent, she knew that she cannot do anything about what has happened. That person was Medical Master Xiang, the second most authoritative man in the manor.

"Medical Master Xin, you should not go out like this… Here, wear this…" he said as he takes out a clump of hair from his medicine box.

Xin Ja was a bit stunned as he put on the long hair that the old man gave him.

The two left the room, and the young woman was a bit stunned when she saw Xin Ja removing his bandana. She just bowed her head and followed behind the two.

"You are going to teach me today, right?" suddenly the old man said in excitement.

Xin Ja could not help but heave a deep sigh and nodded his head. This family is his cover, after what he would be doing tonight… he would stay in the family for a while and teach Medical master Xiang. Then he would leave this place later and go back to Misty village.

As long as he could eliminate the threat to the people in the village, he would do anything.

After breakfast, the two sit in a pavilion near a small pond behind the manor. Xin Ja began explaining to Xiang Longbao the basic principle of acupuncture.

While doing this, he gave Xiang Longbao a book for him to study.

This book is the basics of acupuncture that Xin Ja has already compiled while he was in Misty village.

After the whole afternoon of the lesson, Xin Ja went back to his room and begin his preparation.

He assembles a long-range Ki buster rifle that looks like the one in his unique vision… it is like an anti-material rifle, the Barrett M82.

Although this is not the first time that Xin Ja would be using such a rifle, it would be the first time he would be using a more powerful bullet. He has already reinforced the metal structure of the rifle and has upgraded its material.

So he could only pray for the success of his task in his heart.

If he could finally take down the most powerful person in the Silver Glade Merchant Company, then the rest would be wary of him and would not be audacious enough to challenge him for fear of his retribution.

This is the logic that he is trying to hold on to right now. He needs a deterrent force that would stop his enemy from eyeing him and his family. And that deterrent force will not be coming from anyone but himself.

As he assembles the rifles and prepares the bullets, he carefully checked everything and made sure that everything is now ready.

It was already past 10 pm when he arrives outside the 5th fortress town. He carefully and silently positioned himself above a tall tree which is overlooking the town.

The distance is about one and a half kilometers away from his target.

As Xin Ja scanned the house, he was a bit confused as it seems that the person called Elder Lin is actually not in the manor.

With a frown, he did not want to give up, so he decided to enter the town stealthily.

After coming inside the manor of the Silver Glade, he soon arrives and found that the back of the manor is crawling with people.

His heart almost skipped a beat upon seeing the number of powerful people in the manor. There is more than four 10th level Ki fighters and two 11th level Ki adepts.

When he observed in secret he then realized that those people are actually from the fortress. They were officers from the fortress.

He did not receive any piece of news about this, so he did not know that there is actually a party here.

Then an idea came to his mind. Since everyone is busy in here, he would put an array in the main room of the manor.

With that idea in mind, he quickly made his move to the main room wall outside.

He spread a few Ki stones on the wall and embedded them. He began to write glyphs on the wall and quickly finished it after a few minutes. After doing that, he left the manor and went back to the mountainside near the town and lay prone atop the thick branch of a tall tree.

"Whew… This is very tiring…" he muttered to himself as he wipes the sweat on his forehead.

"If I was strong enough, I could easily kill that guy in close range. But my strength right now could not match that Elder Li. Plus the people in that party are also very powerful… I cannot get careless." He muttered as he takes a peek at the scope of his rifle.

"Hmm… That guy has not yet finished with the party?… How long will this party last?" he muttered as he went back leaning on the wall and then began nibbling on a meat jerky that he is keeping inside his pocket.

Xin Ja waited patiently while every now and then he would peek on his scope and observe the manor.

2 hours later…

Xin Ja became too bored that he almost wanted to just enter the manor and then kill that guy point black. But he knew that it is impossible. He knew that if that person could detect him with only his slight killing intent then he would surely die.

Plus, he could not do it inside the town. If he does, then that is tantamount to suicide.

So in short, he could only do it this way.

He then controlled his impatience and forcefully calms himself down. Then suddenly from the corner of his scope, he noticed a few heat signatures entering the scope.

If one would look at the wall of the master bedroom on the second floor, one will not notice that something is odd on that wall.

But if they use the scope that Xin Ja is using right now, they would clearly see that the rune array on that wall is actually a heat signature array formation.

With that array in place on the wall, Xin Ja could see who are the people inside the manor even though he is more than 1 kilometer away from the place.

As he observe he could tell that this person is really that Elder Li. His aura is the same, and right now, he is actually with a female figure inside that room.

"Damn old man…" he cursed and his cheek blushed at what the two are doing.

He dare not want to look anymore and quickly took a firing position.
