The Geared Immortal

Chapter 997

(Unedited)

…

Inside the hall of a luxurious courtyard mansion, Shin Jiao and the few of them are gathered. Except for Axle Long, Xiamen Gong, and Hua Xiao, the rest are present.

Ansen Wine who is sitting quietly on the side is feeling a bit complicated as he discovered that Shin Jiao has actually reached the late stages of the lord's realm. Meanwhile, Vilma Song and Nariz Gumal are busy chatting with each other.

The two are talking about their future plans. Vilma Song is the young mistress of the Song family, so she has to return home and report the things she has experienced in the Land of Death. Meanwhile, Nariz Gumal has already decided to follow Shin Jiao in Ji Village.

Shin Jiao is currently talking with one of the personnel from the Ji village and arranging things that they needed to do before returning to Ji Village.

After talking for a while, he then dismissed that person and then faces the three people.

"Sorry about that… Well, since you guys have already returned to the immortal land, it is up to you on what you wanted to do next…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"Hmm… I will visit my family first… then I want to visit your village…" Vilma Song said without thinking.

She is a carefree little princess of her Song family; she would go wherever she wanted to go. So she is not worried about anything else.

Shin Jiao nodded his head and then shifted his gaze to Ansen Wine.

Feeling a bit flustered, Ansen Wine did not doodle and quickly said his piece.

"I need to return to my clan first… I have overstayed in the Long clan already." He said with a wave of his hand.

With the decision of the two, Shin Jiao did not ask Nariz Gumal anymore as the woman is already dead set in following him to Ji village.

…

That afternoon, Shin Jiao has a visitor. It was the saint ruler Lai Long followed by Axle Long, Xiamen Gong, and Hua Xiao.

Goamli town is under the influence of the Xiao family as it is ruled by them along with and the Jing family.

The Xiao family was the one who took in the Im siblings and this is the reason why Hua Xiao was chasing after Im Jae in the first place.

Right now, with the influence of the Xiao family in the town, Shin Jiao is able to stay in a luxurious courtyard mansion.

Upon seeing the group, Shin Jiao immediately greeted them politely.

He was a bit surprised when he saw that Hua Xiao actually broke through to the silver realm. It seems that her cultivation level has reached 70 or something.

"You have broken through, that's good news…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"Hihi… Well, it's all thanks to that place. I never would have expected to suddenly have an epiphany and understand the laws of the universe after coming out…" Hua Xiao said while smiling.

Xiamen Gong on the side held her hand and lovingly looks at her.

The action of the two did not escape the eyes of Lai Long as he showed a slight smile on his face. Xiamen Gong has been a close friend of the young master of the Long clan. With the close relation of the families of the Long and Gong, he has already treated Xiamen Gong as his nephew.

At this time, their purpose in coming to this place is to try and build a good relation with this genius which could create artifacts that could even rival the 3 holy artifacts of the human race. The Vesatol, or the Heavenly lightning rod, the All-seeing eye, which was lost for many years now, and Zaiman cloak, or the cloak of absolute defense. These three artifacts are the only powerful artifacts that humans have.

Out of the three, one is lost and the others are in the hands of the most powerful head of the human race clans.

Unknown to them, the all-seeing eye is already in the hands of Shin Jiao. It is just sitting inside his dimension gathering dust. He just kept it thereafter using it to read the ancient books.

Shin Jiao right now, is like a walking and talking artificer that can produce holy artifacts, so the Long clan has already decided to either rope him in or have a connection with him. Either of the two choices has great merit for the clan in the future.

They would not be as foolish as the Osmond clan who hunted the guy and made him hide in a village and even hide the village from plain sight.

This news is already well-known in the whole of the human race as of now. With the invention of the radio and TV in the immortal land, along with the communication devices, information discrimination amongst the human race is widespread and news could not be hidden in front of the prying eyes of the public.

"Young Shin, are you going to stay in the Long clan territory?" Lai Long asked while the group is seated in the living room.

"Ah… I will be coming back to this place sometime later as I still have some business here. But for now, I have to go back as I have promised someone that I will be home after finishing my task here." Shin Jiao said with a polite smile.

He would not dare to show arrogance as the man in front of him is a saint ruler. Although the guy is showing him kindness, he dare not test the waters.

"That is good… I hope I'll be seeing you often in our Long clan territory." Lai Long said with a smile.

His eyes then sweep over to Nariz Gumal. A complicated look could be seen on his face. In fact, he knew who this woman is and about the clan of her husband and especially her husband.

In the crackdown against those that have colluded with the shadow beings in the immortal land, they have discovered that someone from the Long clan has touched upon the taboo. And that person is actually a saint ruler. Not that he is the first saint ruler that colluded with the shadow beings, but he seems to be planning something.

There are many saint rulers that have fallen in the traps of these vile creatures and were all disposed of by the clans. The Osmond clan in particular was truly devastated by this event after the war with the elves.

When the crackdown began, many saint rulers fled, but still many were caught by the human deities and were punished. Striped of their strength and were thrown into the dungeon dimension. And one of those that were thrown is the husband of the woman.

He knew this because he has actually seen and met the two from before.

Seeing his gaze, Nariz Gumal just showed a perfunctory smile while nodding her head. She too recognized the guy but stayed silent. She did not want to have any dealing with the Long clan nor the clan of her husband.

Her time in this place is something that she wanted to forget. A thousand years of her life and she has lived like a flower in a pot, obedient and submissive, to her clan and her husband. But now, she wanted to be free, and she knew that by following Shin Jiao she would be able to discover more things and also discover herself.

As the group chatted some more, it was already midnight when the visitors left the courtyard mansion.

"Are you really sure that you will not be coming back to the Long clan?" Shin Jiao sent a message to her mind.

"Yes… You promised to give me a laboratory of my own, right?" she said with a smirk.

"Did I?" Shin Jiao thought as he tried to recall then nodded his head after a while.

"How about your husband? Don't you want to take revenge against him?" Shin Jiao asked on the side.

"No… Me and him, we're going to live separate lives now. When I came here, I heard that he was caught by the Long clan saint rulers and was stripped of his power. Now he is in the dungeon dimension serving his punishment…" she said with a sneer on her beautiful face.

"Hmm… Well, the Long clan's offer is not that bad. I need to discuss this with Luna and the rest." Shin Jiao said as he look at the semi-lit courtyard outside.

"Shall we?" he said while extending his hand.

Nariz Gumal nodded her head and extended her hand on his. She has already experienced such a way of traveling. It felt different and her consciousness seems to leave her body when traveling in such a way, but she could not deny the speed of the travel.

Shin Jiao did not think twice as he concentrated and in with thought their figures suddenly turned into fine sand and fell on the floor.

A maid who was about to serve tea showed a confused expression, she did not see anyone inside the living room.
