The Geared Immortal

Chapter 833

(Unedited)

…

Swoosh!

Thud!

When Yemei Yin was in a hopeless situation and her body is unable to move due to the effect of lethargy from the enchanted ax of the bandit chief, her heart feels a little unwilling. However, upon remembering the kindness that she felt that day and the gift that man gave her, she showed a faint smile on her face.

She is not expecting anything from him; she just wanted to return the favor and the gift.

She did not even use the gift he gave him in this battle, because if she did, she would not be in this situation. However, she did not want that precious item to have blood in them. Even if she would die, that item would be the only thing that will not be stained with human blood.

Thinking up to this point, Yemei Yin closes her eyes not wanted to see those depraved look on those men in front of her.

But then, she heard those sounds which made her feel confused. Then suddenly she could feel warm liquid spraying at her and that stench which is very familiar suddenly woke her from her stupor and helplessness.

When she opened her eyes, a tall and handsome man which looks like in his 40's stood in front of her. His aura which is calm and soothing made her heart stop trembling. When she saw that figure her heart skipped a beat.

"It's… It's you…" she muttered.

Shin Jiao showed a faint smile on his face upon seeing the stunned woman. He then turns his gaze to the Bandit Chief who turns around and saw his men lying on the ground bathed in their own blood.

The only one left now is the Bandit Chief and all of his men are already dead. Upon seeing that man standing behind him, the Bandit Chief immediately went on guard, holding the battle-ax in his hands firmly.

"You… you're one of those guys…" he muttered upon remembering Shin Jiao's figure on the ship's deck.

"Since you came here, then you can die now!" the Bandit Chief did not hesitate as he swung his ax at Shin Jiao's neck.

Shin Jiao lifted his hand which is covered in glowing energy and using it as a blade, he swings it towards the battle-ax.

Twang!

The sound of vibrating metal echoed through the air as it hits the energy in Shin Jiao's hand. Then something incredible happened…

The battle-ax's blade was cut in half like soft tofu.

As if fell to the ground so does the face of the Bandit Chief.

He could not believe that his most powerful weapon would be easily cut by his opponent using just his hand.

Before the Bandit Chief could react, Shin Jiao extended his psychokinesis and lifted the Bandit Chief in the air.

"Where is your lair?" Shin Jiao asked with an evil smile on his face.

Large beads of sweat covered the Bandit Chief's forehead. This terrifying monster would surely kill him; he knows that, so if there is a chance he would grab it to stay alive.

Then an idea came to the Bandit Chief's mind. That idea is to bring this man to his hideout then trap him in their trapping array. That way he could survive and maybe catch this man and negotiate with the flying ship.

With that in mind, the Bandit Chief's expression turned pitiful.

"Master… Master, please spare this lowly one's life. I… I will take you to our lair."

The Bandit Chief pleaded.

"Alright, lead the way…" Shin Jiao said as he extended his psychokinesis towards Yemei Yin who is still weakly kneeling on the ground.

He hit some of her vital points and her body slowly recovered its strength.

"Follow me…" Shin Jiao said as he walked following the Bandit Chief.

…

They walked for about 2 hours before arriving in front of a tall mountain.

Shin Jiao has already relayed his message to the flying ship and let them take care of the aftermath while he went to take care of his business.

Soon the three arrive in a hidden cave with many secret outposts around it. With Yemei Yin's magic, they were able to bypass the outposts and went directly to the cave.

The Bandit Chief at this moment feels helpless. He did not expect that the woman would be able to cast invisibility easily. Plus he could not even talk or make any unnecessary actions as his body is being restricted by an unknown power.

It did not take long before the group has arrived in front of a small castle after passing through a dilapidated small village-like area. It is a place filled with impoverished people wearing rags and looking helpless.

They knew that these people were taken from the villages and caravans that these bandits have attacked.

"Walk…" Shin Jiao said as he forcefully urges the Bandit Chief forward.

After many twist and turn in this small castle, they soon arrive in front of the treasure room. Shin Jiao has already scanned the small castle and he saw three to four treasure rooms filled with gold, jewelry, weapons, potions, and food.

He knows that these are the loots that these bandits have accumulated over the years of pillaging and plundering.

"Master, this is our treasure vault…" the Bandit Chief said politely.

When he lowered his head a slight glint of craftiness flashed in his eyes.

But before he could say anything else, he suddenly feels his vision getting blurry and his mind turning dark.

Before he knew it, he has already fainted.

Shin Jiao did not want to kill this man that easily. Seeing those people outside the castle and the remaining bandits in this place, a wave of slight anger buried deep within his heart. Though Shin Jiao is ruthless sometimes, he is not a person who has no morals and would turn his eyes to those who needed his help.

Seeing those people in that state, he feels a bit of pity for them.

So he decided to punish these bandits and make them feel the desperation in those people's eyes.

He enters the large treasure room by opening the large metal door. Then he saw a small hill of precious items. This scene made Yemei Yin stunned as she did not know what to say.

Shin Jiao did not waste time and immediately absorb everything in his dimension. He has a lot of use for these things and did not want to waste any of them.

He then threw that Bandit Chief inside the treasure room vault while reinforcing its surroundings.

Shin Jiao visited the rest of the treasure vaults in the small castle. In fact, the rest of the treasure vaults are hidden in a secret location inside the small castle. After that, he knocks out all of the bandits in this bandit hideout and throws them all inside the vault where the Bandit Chief was.

"Master… you…" Yemei Yin wanted to ask something but did not as she seems to have an idea of what Shin Jiao was thinking about.

"Let's help those people outside." Shin Jiao said after doing his business in the small castle.

When the people saw two strangers coming out of the small castle and that there are no bandits guarding the area, they all showed confusion and fear in their eyes.

"Everyone, gather up!" Shin Jiao shouted.

Though they are afraid it became a reflex to them to obey the command of the bandits so, even though they are weak, they forced themselves to stand up and gather in front of Shin Jiao.

In his estimate, there are around 1,000 people that are currently in front of him. A strong stench wafted through the air as these people assembled.

"Everyone listen up!" Shin Jiao said while using mana in his voice to make everyone hear him.

"I have already taken care of the bandits, whether you want to leave this place or not is your choice. For now, I can only help you by making sure you regain your strength." Shin Jiao said.

"Who in here knows how to cook?" Shin Jiao asked.

Several women slowly lifted their hands and fear could be seen in them.

Shin Jiao pointed at them to move forward. He then organized everything so that the people could be fed. With the help of Yemei Yin, everything was finished in order.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao began to rearrange the large array formation in the bandit hideout. In fact, he knew that this array was what that Bandit Chief was banking on to trap them. He did not want to be bothered by this and immediately restrained the bandit chief, so now is going to change this array and use it to help these people recover.

After rearranging everything, Shin Jiao slowly activated the array which slightly glowed.

Then everyone inside the array felt their body recovering their strength. This is not full recovery but a partial recovery of their vitality.

While the people are eating their fill, Shin Jiao began checking his spoils. Upon seeing that there are a few precious items in them, a slight smile appears on his face.

"Going to this hideout is the right decision after all…" Shin Jiao muttered with a slight smile.
