The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1355

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 105

…

Xin Ja went back to the city after wasting the cultivation of Xulo Peng and extracting more information from him then left him in the forest. If he is lucky, then he would live, but if he is unlucky… then he could only blame fate for giving him his just deserts.

As he run from tree to tree, he soon reached the main road to the city. When Xin Ja reached the city gates, he saw a group of 100 plus soldiers forming outside of the city walls.

As he walks near them, a soldier seems to have recognized him.

"Alchemist Xin! Why are you out here? It's dangerous to be out here!" the soldier suddenly said with a worried expression.

He suddenly looks around and when he saw no one, he showed a relieved smile on his face.

"What is happening?" Xin Ja who did not know what is really happening right now asked.

"Well, some of the clans in the city are being besieged by the city lord. Because of the exposure of the conspiracy, the city lord has decided to take down those clans. Some of the families have put their support to the city lord… so there would be a big turmoil soon…" the soldier replied.

He respected Xin Ja for being young and capable.

As an alchemist, he has a lot of potential to grow.

After hearing that, Xin Ja nodded his head and went back to the city.

He soon arrives at the Ao residence and could see that it is once again in ruin.

He frowns when he saw the ruin.

"Did they succeed in kidnapping Ao Meixi? She is already a Ki-Champion…" he thought as he walked inside.

Soon, he noticed that the buildings inside are once again in ruins. Then he noticed the 5 guards, Master Yo, and Rong Guan looking a bit dejected.

Beside them is Ao Jixo, who once again has a wounded body.

"Grand Elder, are you alright?" Xin Ja asked as he walked near the group.

"I am fine… I was just a bit careless… But Ao Meixi landed in their hands through their scheming…"

Ao Jixo handed Xin Ja a pill bottle. As he sniffs the pill bottle, he immediately knew that it was the poison that he was about to concoct in the contest… Ki Dispersion poison.

Looking at the pill bottle, anger could be seen in Xin Ja's eyes.

"Who did it?" he asked.

He did not know how those people are able to do this, but he could not take it lying down.

Ao Meixi has helped him and he has already considered her as his benefactor, if he did not try to rescue her, then he would not be Xin Ja.

"It is the Grand Elder of the Xulo clan and two other clans… The two clans visited us and offered us a peace offering. Who would have known that they are actually in league with the Xulo clan? We thought that we already know the traitors in the city… Sigh…"

Xin Ja nodded and then walked out of the house.

"I'll take care of the young miss. You should recuperate Grand Elder…" he said before walking out of the gate.

Although he could not use his Ki, his body is already in the Ki-Master realm, so it became easy for him to move really fast.

Soon, he arrives in one of the so-called safe houses of the Xulo clan.

After stealthily infiltrating the safe house, he showed a dejected look on his face has did not find any traces of her in that place.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to quickly run and go to the next spot.

Soon, he arrives at another safe house and still did not found her.

The sun has already set at this time and Xin Ja still did not find her.

…

In one of the safe houses of the Xulo clan near the edge of the city, a group of men is currently inside a meeting room.

"The city lord is really going all out until he wipes out our families! This is absurd! We should assassinate him!" shouted one of the men inside.

"It's not time yet… We should wait for him to think that he has succeeded then we strike in one blow!"

"How about the young miss of the Ao family? What should we do with her?"

"I think we should just kill her and then present her head to that Ao Jixu… He might be old but he is really a hard nut to crack!"

"I think we should just attack the Ao family first. We left early that time because we were too afraid that the city lord could find out…"

"How about we visit that old fogey and kill him while he is weak…"

"We can't… he might be able to escape. I could not tell that he is really not simple…"

The people's voices inside the room loudly discuss with anger and indignation on their faces. At the head of the seat in the room, the Grand Elder of the Xulo clan looks at the group with a serious expression.

He is in deep thought as he has not heard from his grandson yet.

He asked his grandson to either get that young alchemist or kill him. But that was hours ago and yet he has not heard from him until now.

He could only look at the window and feel worried.

Suddenly from the window, he saw a weird-looking object from afar. He squinted as he wanted to see what kind of object it was.

Then suddenly he saw a bright light coming from that object.

Ka-Boom!!!

Before he knew it, his ears were bombarded by the deafening sound of an explosion and his body unknowingly was thrown to the wall.

This made his consciousness a bit blurry but he could feel his body tumbling in the air while hitting a couple of objects before they stopped falling. The smell of something burning assaulted his nose and he slowly opens his eyes.

He did not know what just happened, but he could tell that they were just attacked by something.

As he looks up, his expression changes as he could see the building which is supposed to be their hideout in rubbles.

He did not know how many died in that explosion, and he did not care. All he needed to do now is to escape this place.

Without thinking twice, his figure darted to the walls of the manor and flees through the darkness.

Meanwhile, from inside the rubbles, the ground began shaking.

By this time, the figure of Xin Ja walks out of the rubbles, and in his hand is the still unconscious Ao Meixi.

He has already found this place a while back after searching for so long.

He then uses a Mecha to attack the main tower using a remote control.

He over-drafted the Ki energy of the mecha, which exceeded its metal strength, just to deliver this one attack.

The mecha was destroyed, but it served its purpose.

Although it is a bit of heartache for him to use such tactics, he still has to do it.

Xin Ja then carried Ao Meixi back to the Manor and everyone was stunned to see that he has succeed in rescuing her.

"Take good care of the young miss…" Xin Ja said as he stood up and was about to walk out of the Manor when the city lord suddenly appear before him.

"Master Alchemist Xin… I think you have done enough destruction. Let me handle things from here on… I promise that the threat of the clans will be dealt with before the sun rises." The city lord promised.

Xin Ja was a bit stunned but did not say anything anymore.

He just nodded his head and walks back to the Manor and tended to Ao Meixi's wounds.

…

The next day…

The city lord captured the wounded clan head of the rebelling clans and imprisoned them.

The news spread throughout the city and everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that the battles have finally ended.

Inside the ruined Ao Manor

"Young Miss, how are you feeling?" Rong Guan who has been staying by Ao Meixi's side suddenly asked.

"Uhh… I'm fine now… I just feel a bit weak…" she muttered.

"Haha… Master Alchemist Xin said that this is normal… You've just eaten the Ki dispersing poison. Luckily Master Alchemist Xin was quick enough to heal you… We truly have lucked out with him on our side…" Rong Guan with his tone filled with admiration.

"It was your contribution, and doing, that's why we have survived till this day. If you have not brought Alchemist Xin to us, then… then we could have all died back then." She said with a sad tone.

"Hehe… The young miss should not mention this. But we still have another problem this time… Lei Berong… and the Beron clan…" Rong Guan said.

"They could not do anything to us now. Since we have the alchemist badge, they would think twice about offending us…" she said with a smirk.

"Umm… Actually, they have sent a letter… It was a formal marriage proposal…" Rong Guan suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Ao Meixi was stunned.

"Are… are they crazy?" she suddenly hollered.
