The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1387

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 137

…

It was 2 days ago when Xin Ja created the long-range teleportation portal connecting the previous residence of the Ao family manor. The previously ruined manor truly hides a lot of secrets and for the time that Xin Ja spends in that place, he has discovered the teleportation portal along with the defensive arrays.

He was actually curious about who was the previous owner of the manor as the Ao family is not even aware that there is such a thing inside the huge mansion.

But he could not investigate it at that time because of his weakness and lack of strength to defend himself just in case something might happen.

At this time, Xin Ja is calmly listening to the information given by Ao Meixi.

He showed a smile on his face upon hearing that Ao Meixi has finally finished the grievance she has in her heart and has finally avenged her parents.

At the same time, he could not help but admire Ao Jixo for his strength and ability to fight against a big clan even though it is only in a small town. But he could also understand why the Lei Clan timed their attack at that time when Ao Jixo was not in the family.

"The old man is really as strong as I suspected…" he thought.

He is also confident that Ao Jixo would be able to defeat the Lei clan in that town because he gave him a few talismans and also a few pills.

In just one night, the old guy was able to topple the Lei Clan. He is truly worthy of being the Grand Elder of the Ao family.

…

After the commotion in the palace hall, Xin Ja and Master Yo was called by the king to his study room.

"I called the two of you here to ask if you can do something for my son…" he said with a low tone but he could not look Xin Ja straight in the eye.

He knew that the enmity between Xin Ja and his son is something that he could have prevented, but he decided to side with his son, after all, he is still a father before he is a king.

Xin Ja frowned and then shakes his head.

"Your majesty… If we try to figure things out, the 3rd prince might suffer further. It is really hard to cure any poison as long we could not determine what kind of poison is used. According to the diagnosis and the traces in the young prince's body, we already knew a few of the poison used, but…" Master Yo explained.

But he did not continue as he is not sure of what to say at this time that would make things not that grievous.

"Master Yo is right… But I could alleviate the symptoms and could make the 3rd prince not feel any pain… But that would only last for 3 days… after 3 days…" Xin Ja did not continue.

The king suddenly lowered his head. Tears began to slide down his cheeks as he looks out the window of the study room.

"Master Xin… I can only rely on you… Please take care of my son…" he said in a sad tone.

Xin Ja nodded and then left the room with Master Yo. He could sympathize with the king, but he could not forgive the 3rd prince for what he has done. If not for Xin Ja's fear of the powerful people behind the kingdom and the Ao family situation, he could have openly killed the 3rd prince.

Master Yo looks at Xin Ja and showed a complicated emotion on his face.

"Master Xin… he is your enemy and you still need to help him. You truly are a magnanimous person." Master Yo said with a smile.

Master Yo could vaguely see that the situation with the 3rd prince is very weird, and it seems that Xin Ja is calm in this whole fiasco. But he did not suspect Xin Ja to be the cause of the 3rd prince's poisoning.

Although they planned and all he did not see the young man takes action. So he really thought that someone powerful has done them a favor this time.

"Master Yo… I would like to rest for a while… Tell the others to not look for me…" Xin Ja suddenly said as he walked in the direction of the inn.

When he arrives at the inn, the commotion a while ago is already finished and Ao Meixi with Rong Guan is not in the inn.

After entering his room, Xin Ja quickly sets up the formation and his figure could be seen meditating on his bed.

At this time, his figure appears on the outskirts of the city near a dilapidated house.

He has secretly put a tracer to the robe of the Lei Clan patriarch as soon as they enter the palace hall.

At that time, he has an inkling that the Lei Clan patriarch would be escaping. And his conjecture was truly correct. The reason why he is not that worried is because of the tracer.

"The guy is inside…" he thought as he takes out his rifle and quickly settles atop a worn-out building on the other side.

As he lies prone on the roof, he carefully aimed at the dilapidated house. He scanned the whole are using an infrared sensor but found out that there are no people in the house.

This made Xin Ja frown as he could clearly detect that this is the location where he could feel his mark.

He gritted his teeth and carefully stood up and runs closer to the house. As he drew closer to about 100 meters, he quickly scanned it with his Absolute Sense.

As soon as he did, he was shocked.

This is because he could see the Lei Clan patriarch standing behind a wall with his eyes closed.

He knew that the guy has felt his presence already.

Without hesitation, Xin Ja jumps to his right while hiding behind the rubble.

He did not leave his Absolute Sense at the Lei Clan patriarch and saw the guy frowning.

"Although he is already a Ki-Champion he still did not have his spirit sense of even his domain…" Xin Ja thought while sneering in his heart.

He already knew that not everyone has domain or spirit sense, but still, he could not help but sneer at the patriarch for wasting the clan's resources and ended up just being an average cultivator.

But of course, he still could not let his guard down at this point in time he knew that if he did, then he would surely die in the hands of his target.

After all, he is facing a late-stage Ki-Champion.

Seeing that the Lei Clan patriarch is confused, he quickly pointed the nozzle of the sniper rifle at the figure hiding behind the house's wall.

"Hey…" he whispered and saw the Lei Clan patriarch reacting with a knitted brow.

"Do you know that…" amidst his words Xin Ja squeezes the trigger of the rifle.

"I…"

Bang!

The loud sound startled the Lei Clan patriarch as he was fully concentrated on the words he is hearing from somewhere.

He is on guard but also curious as to how that ant was able to find him and even threw his sharp senses in disarray with mere words.

But as he tried to heighten his hearing further he was startled by the loud sound of an explosion ringing in his ears.

It was too loud that he subconsciously closes his ears.

Then suddenly, he feels his body being pushed forward as something hit him from behind. He could feel the powerful impact and the following pain in his right shoulder.

He could clearly feel that something penetrated his strong body and came out of his chest.

As he landed kneeling on the ground, he could not help but looks at his right chest as a thumb-sized gaping hole could be seen while his warm blood began gushing out from the wound.

"Damn you!" he cursed as he gritted his teeth while trying to bear the pain.

Before he could do anything he heard the sound and quickly dodges to the side.

Bang!

At this time, he was finally able to dodge the attack.

Without hesitation, the Lei Clan patriarch quickly unsheathes his sword and sent a powerful Ki blade to the direction of where the gunshot came from.

The window of the building he was on was blasted as the powerful flying crescent Ki blade energy disintegrated everything on its target.

But he saw no one in that place.

With a frown, the Lei Clan patriarch sent a few more Ki blades in the direction of the rubbles and blasted everything in smithereens.

But he saw no one.

He quickly stood up and was about to leave when suddenly, he felt a powerful pressure bearing on him. The expression of the Lei Clan patriarch turned pale as he knew what kind of power has found him.

He could not help but cursed the person who attacked him sneakily.

He now knew that the purpose of that attack is not to kill or fight him, but to make sure that he is captured by the kingdom.

He could not help but helplessly cursed out loud while he kneels on the ground.

"I will find you! And I will kill you!" he shouted in resentment.
