The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1435

War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 35

…

After the three teams regrouped and helped the other wounded, they all traveled for a while and soon arrive at a clearing where there is a newly cemented road and a few vehicles waiting.

When Xin Ja saw the vehicles, he was a bit stunned and then rubbed his eyes just to confirm that what he is seeing is correct.

The reason for his disbelief is that he is actually seeing vehicles with models like that of the 50s back on earth.

He did not know when these designs came out, but it seems to be a bit fast for this world and this era to have reached this technological advancement.

Well, he could not deny the fact that he was part of the changes that are happening in this world. In fact, he has a very big part in everything that is happening.

But then, he also could not help but feels a bit nostalgic as he suddenly thinks of his family back on earth.

Since he already got his memory of Shin Jiao and Xin Ja, he could not help but feel a complicated feeling towards this world and the world of Gaeus Ro.

Upon thinking of that world, he suddenly remembers Qin Lou, his wife, his two children, and of course…, Susan Tang, who has already left him and decided to go to Kranos Galaxy.

Upon thinking of these things, a deep melancholy came upon him as the faces of many people appears in his mind.

Xin Ja suddenly shakes his head as he knew that he could not dwell on the past. No matter what he does right now, he could not return to the past anymore and could only pray and hope for the safety and success of his loved ones in their future endeavor.

After so many ups and downs and preparations, Xin Ja learned one thing. And that is… no one can control the future.

No matter how hard he struggles in the four worlds he has already been to, the future is a constant mystery that he could only travel alone.

"I guess, I could only look forward ahead and complete the things that I needed to do…" he muttered while looking at the skies.

The three groups were then joined by more groups and now there are more than 100 people gathered in a clearing at the side of the road.

"Are the teams here?" shouted a middle-aged man that looks like a B-rank awakened.

"Sir… I… I think one of the teams was wiped out…" someone reported.

The middle-aged man has a serious look in his eyes after hearing such a thing. He did not know what to say, but since this is not the first time that this has happened, he only could shake his head.

This training period would always be held 2 times a year by the sect, so he had seen many awakened and devil kin fall in such exercises.

But at least with the help of the devil kin entering their sect, the number of those that would fall in these life and death exercises has lessened.

"Everyone… let's get back to the city…" the middle-aged man did not dwell on this circumstance and quickly get on to a car.

The rest followed suit and alighted the busses prepared for them.

Soon, the long convoy of vehicles travels down the road while the sect members have a somber look on their faces.

Xin Ja on the other hand did not follow as he could already see a city not too far following the road's direction.

Though the road has already been fixed, he could tell that not many vehicles are traveling on it. From the way it looks, the threat of the demonized beast and some of the rogue demons are still present.

And one such group suddenly appears in the clearing after the convoy has left.

"Damn… I think the Vigilance Sect have obtained that precious herb…" a draconian stumps his feet on the ground in anger, causing a slight trembling.

"We should go back and try to find another." He said as he commanded his group to return to the forest.

Meanwhile, on the side a bit far from them, a few humans are looking at their group. These are they that wear the 2 Goliath Suits mercenaries.

"Humph… The Vigilance Sect… Let's go there and get back that herb. If I have to destroy that sect just to get that herb back, then so be it…" the Rank B middle-aged man said with a sneer.

"Yeah, those people have taken our treasure. They should first know who it belongs to before taking it away under our noses…" another one chimed in.

"Hahaha… I heard that there are succubae in the sect. We should let us compensate for their atrocities…" another one said.

A female in the group snorted while shaking her head.

"The Vigilance Sect is not a small sect. We cannot just barge right in there…" she commented.

"Haha… You worry too much. I know the sect master of that sect is only a Rank B awakened. Plus we already fought and I have beaten his ass back then." The middle-aged leader proudly said.

The group then began to talk about how they can get their hands on some of the sect's riches.

Suddenly, the group was alarmed when they suddenly feel a presence appearing before them.

When they turn their heads they saw a young man calmly standing before them.

"Who… who are you?" asked one of the men in the group as he grabbed his weapon.

Before he could point it at that figure, his hand is already separated from his wrist.

"I don't like people drawing their weapons before me…" the figure said with a slight smile on his face.

This figure is of course Xin Ja. With the temperament of Shin Jiao, he did not even bat an eye while severing the hand of that person.

The people had a look of fear in their eyes as they have not seen his hand moving and their companion's hand is already severed. This has caused them to fear him deeply in their hearts.

Even the Rank B leader of the group could not say anything while looking at Xin Ja with a deep frown.

"I don't know who you are… but attacking us like this seems a bit overbearing, right?" the Rank B leader said while showing an angry expression.

How could he not feel angry when one of his men got his hand severed?

"Overbearing? Why don't you ask yourselves that when you are planning to rob and even oppress that so-called Vigilance Sect? But… that is not my concern right now actually. I just came here to ask, how were you able to obtain a Goliath Suit?" Xin Ja asked while pointing at the suits.

The group showed wary expressions on their faces and just lowered their stances to prepare for battle. But of course, no one dares to draw their weapons as the one who draws it first is still on the ground wailing in pain.

"We… we got this suit in an auction at the capital city of Evalence…" the leader said feeling a bit of pressure from the eyes of Xin Ja.

"Hmm… Okay… Oh, by the way… You don't have to search for the herb. I was the one who took it." Xin Ja said as he showed the group the herb.

As soon as he takes it out, a strong Ki energy wafted in the air and enveloped everyone making them feel a bit euphoric.

"High… High-grade herb…" someone muttered.

Xin Ja did not say anything and just turns around.

As soon as he got his back on them, the Rank B leader suddenly made his move and draws his MCAW.

Ptaff!!! Ptaff!!! Ptaff!!!

A series of shots were fired, but they hit only empty air.

The figure of Xin Ja has already vanished in front of them.

"Is… Is he a ghost?" asked someone as he looks around him.

The rest also followed as they began to huddle together while their eyes roam around showing fear in them.

…

Xin Ja did not want to bother the group and just directly travels to Lostier Fortress. To go to the capital city Evalence, he needed to go through the fortress as far as he could remember.

Soon, his figure appears near the city entrance which seems to have changed a bit. The tall walls are still as tall as ever, but he could now see many vehicles passing through from the main road.

As he looks in the direction of where their vehicles came from, he noticed a little traffic that seemed to have started while the cars and carriages are entering the city.

The cars are mixed with the old ones and the new ones which are a bit like in the old times back on earth.

"Hmm… They are checking identifications…" he muttered while showing a slight frown on his face.

At this time, an old truck suddenly stopped and on the driver's seat, the driver leaned his head to look at him.

"Are you entering the city? Would you like a ride?"

The driver looks like a white-haired middle-aged man with thick stubble on his chin.

Sensing the amiable appearance of the old man, Xin Ja nodded and hopped on the old truck.
