The Geared Immortal

Chapter 490

/*unedited*/

The situation near the gate has already gathered some onlookers as two groups are facing each other. When they saw that it was a simple young man with some strength, they all look at him with pity. This is because he is facing an infant soul cultivator.

Shin Jiao found himself being held on the shoulder by a man and wanting to cut that man's hand in one blow. However, he soon discovers that Yao Mai made her move.

"Mister Zhang, I suggest you let go of his shoulder." She said with a cold voice.

Her voice made the people around her felt like frost covering their hearts as they felt a shiver down their spine. Yao Mai is not doing this actively, she just can't control such a thing from happening. This is her innate ability, frost. Although she can control other Qi elements, frost is something that would come out of her body unconsciously.

When the two teachers heard her words, they frown. This is because they knew that they are not her match though her cultivation is lower than them.

"Haha… Teacher Mai, I didn't expect for you to vouch for this guy… I guess you took a liking to his handsome face. However, he still has to pay for his offense to my student." The man said as he suddenly exerted an effort.

With the man's strength in the infant soul realm, no gold core realm cultivator can resist his power. And so he intends to break one of Shin Jiao's arms.

"No! Don't!" shout Yao Mai in panic.

But what happened next made everyone unable to believe their eyes. The man exerted his force and forces Shin Jiao's arm to break but to his astonishment. He could even make the young man budge.

"I guess you didn't want that arm anymore." Shin Jiao said as he swings his right hand.

This simple action didn't catch the eyes of those people with lower cultivation, but those in the infant soul realm saw Shin Jiao's simple action. His hand simply cut off the arm holding his shoulder like it was a very sharp knife.

The teacher called Mister Zhang didn't even feel it first. But soon he saw his blood spurting out of the cut part of his arm.

"Ahh… My… my arm! You… you cut my arm!" he shouted as he held is already severed arm in panic.

"I told you, not to dilly dally. But no… you must provoke me. You can only blame yourself for this misfortune." Shin Jiao said as he casually removes the cut off arm still hanging on his shoulder and toss it to the guy.

"Next time, don't casually offend someone or you might have to pay with your life."

The other students and teacher from the Floating Lotus Alchemy School didn't want to offend this person so they all stood away from Shin Jiao and the two women. Although they can throw their weight around the city because of their status and background, they still sometimes face those formidable masters and some would suffer accidents.

And so this is one of those days.

Shin Jiao was about to walk away from the area when he felt a figure flying towards them. With that person's cultivation level, Shin Jiao knew that he is going to meet someone who is not simple.

"It seems that this young man does not take our school in his eyes… you've just offended my school and hurt one of my teachers… How will you compensate for this?" the man said in a nonchalant tone.

Shin Jiao can now see that the man is a nascent realm cultivator.

"I guess this guy is one of the powerhouses of the Floating Lotus Alchemy School…" Shin Jiao thought.

But before he can reply, Yao Mai immediately interjected.

"Vice-principal, you should not be biased in this case… you've seen that they are the ones who provoked us first. Why should we face the consequence?" she said with a feeling of being aggrieved in her tone.

"Haha… teacher Mai, please don't interfere with this matter… All I saw is that this person hurting one of the teachers of my school. If I didn't solve this matter, then people would look down on our prestigious school that carries the imperial princess's name."

"You…"

'Ahhh… Your beauty truly fascinates me every time I see you.' The vice-principal suddenly sent a spiritual message to Yao Mai.

This made her expression turned angry.

'Shameless… this is the reason why I didn't want to go back to that school anymore. You are a shameless person trying to use your power to get what you wanted.'

'Haha… Yao Mai, you should be thanking me for not forcing you to be my wife… You should be the one begging me just like others.'

Upon hearing this, Yao Mai didn't want to talk to the shameless man anymore and wanted to turn around. However, before she can do that, she suddenly felt a strong spiritual aura enveloping her body making her unable to move.

'Truly an exquisite being… If I have you, I know that I won't find any other women…'

"Forcing others out of their will is not something a man with strong power should do." Shin Jiao's words interrupted the connection between the two and Yao Mai felt her body gaining her control.

"Insolent fool!" shouted the vice principal in anger at being interrupted from his advances.

It has been a long time since he wanted to do this. When Yao Mai left the school on the premise to guide her student he didn't agree but he could not show it. It has been a long time that he wanted to have this woman, but he kept himself from making a move because of the school.

However, now that he saw her with another man and a handsome young gigolo at that, he felt that there is no need to hide his desires anymore. So he made his move. But who would have expected that this young man is not that simple?

And so the vice principal wanted to attack first to prevent the other party from retaliating any further.

Boom!

A shadow flashes through and a loud impact made the people around that area tumble to the ground. Even Song Xie and Yao Mai were sent flying from that huge force.

This was followed by a series of loud impact sound which made the people in the area near the gate run for their lives. The force was truly strong that even the houses and the walls on the side were turned into ruins.

Suddenly, before everyone can see it, another loud sound reverberated and a figure was seen flying outside of the gate like a released cannonball.

When the dust died down, they can see a young man patting his clothes as if cleaning the invisible dust which didn't even touch him due to his Qi field.

"This is going to be troublesome…" Shin Jiao muttered as he turns his gaze towards the sky.

And towards the direction of his sight, two old men were seen floating in the air.

'This young fellow, I would like to ask for you to stay your hand. Please forgive the offense of the vice principal…' an old man said while transmitting his voice towards Shin Jiao's mind using his spiritual sense.

However, Shin Jiao could not reply yet, because he has injured his spiritual sense while forming his nascent soul. So he just looks at the two people and said.

"You should know what that man is trying to do, right? If you belong to Floating Lotus Alchemy School and have such a person as a vice-principal, then, I wonder what kind of school do you have?" Shin Jiao's words have unconcealed mocking in them.

'Haha… Young man… or should I say, Master, as you are also a nascent realm cultivator, I will not pursue this further. You and the two women can go.'

"Well, that's not a problem. But I think that guy would cause more problems to my companion, Miss Mai… She would not be able to go against that guy; do you think I can just let this be?"

When the people heard Shin Jiao's words, they already knew he was talking to the two figures above. Meanwhile, Yao Mai and Song Xie were touched by Shin Jiao's gesture.

The two now knew that they have encountered a secret master that is able to defeat a nascent realm cultivator, how could they not be elated. Their gaze towards Shin Jiao is now coupled with a deep respect for his low-key and kind behavior even though he held too much power in his hand.

'Alright, I assure you that this would not happen again. If it does then you can look for me and we can settle this the old ways.' The old man said.

Shin Jiao also didn't want to cause too much commotion, plus he can sense that the person beside the old man is not that simple. Although he wears a cloak with a hood and is trying to hide his aura, Shin Jiao can feel his strength.

If they fight, he is not sure who would win.

Shin Jiao turn towards the two women and the group went out of the city gates.

"I can't detect his cultivation level." The old man said to the other old man beside him.

"That young man seems to be at the peak of the nascent realm… but his cultivation level is fluctuating. Is seems like he is hiding it using an artifact." The hooded old man said.

"Huh? A peak nascent realm just like you and is still very young… could it be that he came from that place?" the old man asked.

"Who knows…" the man in the hood said with a meaningful smile on his face.
