The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1354

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 104

…

The upheaval caused by the movement of the army because of the revelation in the alchemy contest made the whole city become a warzone.

The clans that joined with the plan of the Xulo family were attacked by the army stationed in Rock Ledge city.

City Lord Ji Da has been planning this for a long time now but did not have the evidence to support his action. Now that he has one, he did not want to lose this chance to strike those clans that have planned his death.

An assassination attempt by an official anointed by the kingdom is a threat to the kingdom. And for this reason, the Xulo clan and its allies are also judged as guilty. They are to be executed along with their family members for plotting such a crime.

Meanwhile, the alchemy contest was done and Xin Ja was able to enter the top 20. Though he was in the last place because of the low-quality pill he has made, it was still a formula and considered a breakthrough.

"I need to take care of something…" Xin Ja suddenly said while the group is walking out of the stadium.

"Are you sure? The threat of the Xulo family is still there you know. With you alone… you will be in danger." Ao Jixo showed a slight concern on his old face.

"Grand Elder, I am well aware of it. But this matter needs my utmost attention, I am sorry for not telling you guys what it is…" Xin Ja showed an apologetic smile while bowing.

"Alright, alright… Just go and be careful…" Ao Meixi waved her hand and lets him leave.

She did not know why but she feels a bit confident that the young man would not be in danger.

Xin Ja left the group and soon arrive at the gate of the city.

The reason why he needed to go out of the city is that he could feel the little flame inside of him becoming unrest.

If he lets it go out while inside the city, he did not know what kind of chaos it would cause.

So he has to go out of the city and let it go into the forest.

As Xin Ja's figure dashes out of the city, he suddenly noticed a few people chasing after him.

"Damn… they really would not give up. Even after the City Lord issue a hunt for them, they still have the audacity to fight me…" Xin Ja thought with a smirk.

After traveling for a couple of kilometers, he did not hesitate to suddenly wave his right hand high up in the air. Then without hesitation, he released the little flame.

As soon as the little thing felt that it could come out Xin Ja did not hesitate and quickly flew high up in the air.

Then when it fell to the ground it quickly created several rings of searing hot flames around its body.

Xin Ja's eyes went wide with he saw this and did not hesitate to jump and then quickly takes out several talismans.

He has no strength to stop this force with his physique alone… plus he has no Ki to defend his body, so could only use runes as a defense.

Thum!!!

The powerful force is like a bomb exploding outwards. It created a huge mushroom cloud in the air and those around it were disintegrated in almost an instant.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to use this force and his figure flew out like a cannonball shooting away from the center of the explosion.

However, the unlucky ones were those people that are chasing after him.

And one of them is that stupid guy Xulo Peng.

The group did not expect that a powerful explosion would happen right when they jump out of the bushes to attack Xin Ja.

The explosion was too powerful that it immediately disintegrated those unlucky ones, and those that were fast enough to put up a barrier were sent flying.

Xulo Peng who is very wary of everything around him ever since he was beaten by Xin Ja, also was able to put up a shield.

…

He did not know how long it has taken him to be unconscious but when he opened his eyes, he suddenly feels his whole body aching.

But for some reason, there is a warm sensation inside his body that seems to be healing his wounds.

As Xin Ja closes his eyes, he was startled to see that the flame has now turned into a small chick made of flame.

It is not a small flame anymore but now has a form.

Xin Ja could not help but smile when he saw it franking around his dantian while it happily chirped upon sensing his presence.

"You little thing, you've almost blown me to another continent…" he scolded but his tone and expression showed happiness.

How could he not feel happy? This little thing is what has saved him at that time in the alchemy competition.

He knew that the reason why this little thing broke through is because of those rich essences of those medicinal herbs that were blown.

It has absorbed too much of those highly concentrated essences hence it broke through.

Xin Ja slowly stood up while cracking his neck and waist as he could feel a slight pain in them.

He takes out a hoverboard from his ring and rode it back to the city.

Along the way, he noticed the large clearing which was caused by the explosion.

From the looks of it, he was actually flung to a distance of around 20 kilometers or something. No wonder he fainted and his whole body was aching.

Luckily for him, that little thing came back and healed his body.

As he landed in that area, he saw a few traces of some cultivator's remains.

Then he noticed an unconscious fellow lying on the ground with a few broken logs on top of him.

"Isn't this that Xulo Peng guy…" he muttered as he looks at the man who is still breathing.

"I think it would be better if I kill him now…" Xin Ja suddenly said.

But before he could do anything that seemingly unconscious fellow moved.

"No! Stop! Please… please… It was my fault. Everything is my fault, if you spare my life, I can give you anything you want. You know that our clan is one of the richest clans in the city, right?" he suddenly begged.

Xin Ja could not help but glare at the pathetic-looking man before him.

"Do you think I lack money?" Xin Ja suddenly said.

Then Xulo Peng realized that with his status now, money and power would be pouring in like a river. So he thought for a while then showed realization in his eyes.

"Ah! I can tell you where our family's hideout is! If you spare my life, I can tell you where it is…" he suddenly said.

But from what Xin Ja could tell, he could feel that this fellow is still hiding something from him.

So he did not say anything and just looks at the stupid fellow.

Feeling the gaze of the young man before him, Xulo Peng truly became afraid. Who would have known that this man has the strong power to eliminate his people in one attack? Even his grandfather did not have such power.

At this time, he is truly afraid of Xin Ja. Combined with his strong will to live, he gritted his teeth and then looks at Xin Ja directly in his eyes.

"If I tell you a secret would you let me live?" he asked.

"That depends on the secret…" Xin Ja replied calmly.

"Then, that would not do… Even if I die, that secret would not be known to you. And I assure you that if you knew that secret, then you will thank me instead."

"Stop blabbering and tell me the secret!" Xin Ja said with a menacing glare.

Although afraid, Xulo Peng gritted his teeth and kept his silence.

Xin Ja could feel the resolution in the stupid guy, so he could not help but heave a sigh.

"Alright, I will not kill you as long as you tell me that secret." Xin Ja said with a serious expression.

"You and the others…" Xulo Peng added.

"Yes… I and my friends will not kill you…" Xin Ja said with a smirk.

"Now tell me what that secret that you're talking about that would make me regret if I did not hear it…" Xin Ja repeated with a bored tone.

"Hehe… Since you promised then I will tell you the secret. But I assure you that this is worth my life in exchange because this is also in exchange for another life… Hehe…" Xulo Peng chuckled sinisterly.

When Xin Ja heard his words, a bad premonition suddenly came to his mind. He did not know why but the expression and the face of this stupid guy made him want to kill someone.

"Spit it out!" Xin Ja growled.

"Hehe… In our secret lair…, under the city…, I think we already captured Ao Meixi… Hehe…"

When Xin Ja heard this, his expression immediately darkened.

He kicked the boulders away from Xulo Peng's body and lifted him up in the air.

Then using his index finger, he focused the Ki from the stone in his arm and then jabs the dantian of Xulo Peng.
