The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1367

…

Several hundreds of people suddenly walked out of the forest in a dazed manner which startled the people who are preparing to enter the border of the abode.

When they recognized who those people are, they were all stunned.

"How… How is this possible?!" someone shouted as he suddenly rushes towards a young woman in the dazed group.

Without hesitation, he hugged her in front of all those people which immediately shook the woman into awakening.

"Little brother you…" she blushes then pushes the young man in front of her.

Although the young man is her brother, she still feels shy while being hugged in front of this many people.

But no one seems to have noticed them as the people began to happily approach each other. This is true, especially for the An Clan which lost a lot of their people.

"What is happening here?" the patriarch of the An Clan asked in confusion.

He looks at his daughter An Xensu who also has a confused expression on the side.

Meanwhile, Ao Meixi walked toward them and cupped her hand in a greeting.

"Senior, this humble one greets you…" she said while cupping her hand.

"Someone wanted to talk to you…" she then added as she handed him a clip earring.

The patriarch felt a bit confused upon seeing the earring and quickly scanned it. Now he feel a bit more confused and suspicious as the earring did not contain any Ki fluctuations, but being handed an object from a strange made him a bit wary.

"The one on the other line is Aunt Jing…" Ao Meixi said while looking at An Xensu.

When An Xensu heard that it was Aunt Jing she did not hesitate to stand up.

"Dad, take it…" she said.

"Just clip it on your ear, senior…" Ao Meixi instructed.

After clipping it on his ears, the An Clan patriarch showed a confused expression.

"What should I do next?" he asked.

'Hello! Is this the patriarch?' on the other line, Jing Xue's clear voice suddenly appears?

"Jing… Jing Xue?" the patriarch muttered in confusion.

But he did not say anything else after and just began to nod his head while a slight smile crept on his face. It was as if he is hearing a great piece of news that is making his heart elated.

After a while, he takes off the earring and before giving it back to Ao Meixi he looks at it with a curious gaze and a slight desire to have one for himself.

It was truly a fascinating piece of artifact.

"Thank you, Miss Ao…" he said with a nod after handing the earring.

"I would like to invite you to be our special guess in the clan…" he suddenly asked.

Ao Meixi was a bit stunned as she knew the prestige of the An Clan and their power. If she became a special guess of such a powerhouse then her family's reputation would really soar high. She was immediately stunned upon hearing those unexpected words.

Ao Jixo who is standing beside her, immediately tugged her hand waking her from her stupor.

"It… It… is our honor… Patriarch." She immediately cupped her hand.

"Haha… Good, good… Then your group should travel with us when we return." He said with a smile.

At this time, An Xensu also walked beside Ao Meixi and nodded her head.

An Xensu grabbed her hand and then dragged her to the side as they began to talk.

Meanwhile, the An Clan Patriarch walked to the front of the stage and then looks at the people below him.

"Everyone, listen up!" he called out using his Ki.

The rowdy crowd immediately turned silent as their attention was drawn to the figure atop the stage.

"Since this is a happy occasion we will postpone the siege to the abode… Tomorrow morning, we will announce something in the city. But for now, we should come back and rethink our strategy…" He said with a smile.

When everyone heard his words, they all showed confusion in their eyes. Some even have suspicion while looking at the An Clan patriarch.

Those crafty old people from the other families just frowned and quickly left as they knew that something is wrong with the retreat order from the An Clan.

As the group retreated, the only ones left in the area are the guards of the entrance to the border.

At this time, Jing Xue and Xin Ja are already rushing back to the city. Xin Ja did not bother to hide a hoverboard from her as they flew back to the city on it.

If they were using a flying beast of their own running speed, it would be fast, but not as fast as the hoverboard.

And so after 4 hours of flying, they soon saw the border of the huge city of Aewa.

Jing Xue pointed in the direction of the An Clan Manor and they landed in a large courtyard. Those that saw them showed astonishment in their eyes.

"We greet Senior Jing!" a group of guards quickly arrive and greeted the two.

"Prepare everyone! Guard the whole manor and be alert before the patriarch's group arrives, I want this place secured!" she quickly commanded.

She did not know what the other families would be thinking upon this retreat, so she did not want to be lax in their security.

Xin Ja did not bother with the formalities and after being assigned a room, he quickly enters it and secluded himself.

Inside the room, he installed a few restrictions and camouflage arrays.

Then he quickly takes out a few materials he has seen in the escape pod.

The first one is an energy weapon which made him feel a bit intrigued.

While checking the energy weapon, he frowned when he feel the energy in that weapon was a bit weak than expected.

Although it contains explosive power and energy, it is not enough to even wound a 1st-level Ki-Fighter.

"I thought that this should be a powerful weapon…" he muttered.

After checking the machine, he feels more confused.

He then takes out the book and decided to read it instead.

An hour later…

Xin Ja began to ponder what he has discovered.

"This book might have come from a civilization with weaker strength… Just like the one in my previous life." He muttered.

Then realization dawned on him.

"If I can convert these ideas to the current ones, then that would surely change everything, right?" he thought.

Some of the ideas in that book are already being used by him. But there are more of it inside which made him feel a bit excited to try and make them.

One of those things he saw inside of that book is a blueprint of a gigantic ship that can even travel through space.

He then takes out the crystal from his ring and looks at it.

This crystal is the one who gave him the ability to be able to read the contents of the book through subconscious language transfer.

Plus the crystal contains a few things that fascinated him.

But of course, those things in the crystal are of no use to him in this place as they are a bit weak for him or for this world rather.

"Computer…" he suddenly muttered as he carefully takes out a palm-size object and then turns it on.

Although he wanted to create something like it before, but it is far too complex for him to create alone. Reprogramming them though is the easiest part of the process.

Another few hours passed and Xin Ja was once again immersed in his research.

He was interrupted when he heard knocking on the door.

He quickly kept everything in his ring and then looks at the door and scanned it.

When he saw that it was just a maid, he called out.

"Come in…"

After he said those words, the door slowly opened and a young maid enters the room.

The young maid saw a handsome young man sitting calmly at the table while reading something.

She quickly walks inside and then prepares the incense burner and then serves Xin Ja a cup of tea.

He showed a slight frown but did not say anything.

The young maid stood on the side and seems to be waiting for something.

"Do you need anything else?" Xin Ja asked with a frown.

The young maid showed a faint smile on her face.

"I'm waiting for your orders, young master." she suddenly said.

"Hmm… It seems that someone wanted to get rid of me in this place…" Xin Ja suddenly said while he looks at the tea.

It might look like a simple and unassuming tea, but Xin Ja knew that it is something else.

He did not know why he is being targeted, but he is now worried about the old woman at this time.

When the maid heard his words, her expression suddenly changes into a cold gaze. Her amicable and innocent look suddenly turned to pierce like a viper.

"You are not part of the An Clan and an outsider. Since something important is happening to the clan, we are commanded to get rid of any loose ends to prevent future problems…"

Without warning, she suddenly unsheathes the soft sword from her waist and slicks it at Xin Ja.

She is confident that she could subdue the guy because she could tell that his dantian is broken.
