The Geared Immortal

Chapter 902

(Unedited)

…

Xin Xiaoyo is an old Grand Magus which has lived for 120 years. However, he is not a mage who likes to travel. He is someone who likes his experiments and has lived like a hermit inside the mage tower in Main Arjing City.

The Great White Tower of Dugal has 3 Grand Magus, the two have left the tower, one has gone traveling, and the other is now serving in the kingdom after the light has defeated the darkness in the great war. Out of the three, old Xin Xiaoyo is the one left to helm the Great White Tower of Dugal in the outer world.

In his time as a Grand Magus in the tower, no one dares to offend them as he is very vindictive and temperament. They became a power to fear and respected in the outer world as they continuously grow from one town to the next.

However, more than a month ago, one of his precious disciples was killed. And it was someone that he wanted to groom and with a great prospect. Plus an elder of their tower was also killed at that time which made him really furious.

He wanted to take his revenge, but he suddenly encountered some trouble in the city. It was when a nasty thing called Ghost Thorn appears. It caused huge problems amongst the mages and has made the towers suffer great damage.

They did not know where it came from and how it appears, but it suddenly spread amongst the citizen and cause the city to be enveloped in fear.

It took them a month before they were able to quell the spread and discover the cause of it all.

And since then, he did not have time to go out.

He then heard about the things that have been spreading in Central Town and within Main Arjing City and it dawned on him that instead of getting his revenge, it would be better to capture that guy and extract the things he knows.

He has learned that those new things that came to the city are actually made by the group that killed his disciple and trusted elder.

With that in mind, he began to plot a plan.

And now the plan is already in motion.

He pointed his staff in Shin Jiao's direction and began to conjure his spell.

The people beside Shin Jiao were all caught off guard and were not able to move. This immediately made them feel fear and wanted to run, but they could not move their bodies.

Only three people look calm and collected.

Shin Jiao did not hesitate to spread his psychokinesis and create an invisible barrier, and then he used his divine sense to free the two girls beside him from the bond.

When Vilma Song feels her movement returning she continues eating. Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and Yemei Yin just look at the old man who is walking towards them.

Then suddenly, a large piece of ice appears from the ground and turns Shin Jiao's figure and the two girls beside him into ice.

"Haha… Do you think you can fight against a Grand Magus? You are not my match…" Xin Xiaoyo said with a sneer.

"Take them to the tower…" he said with a smile on his old face as he turns around to leave.

However, the people in front of him did not move and just showed fear in their expressions.

When he noticed this, he knew that something is wrong. He quickly wanted to raise a barrier on his body, but before he could do anything a powerful force suddenly hit his back.

Bam!

Xin Xiaoyo was hit by a fireball from a mage rifle in Yemei Yin's hand.

This sent the old man tumbling on the ground in a sorry manner.

Though he is a Grand Magus, he could not do anything and just suffer in defeat when caught off guard.

But of course, a Grand Magus is still more powerful than ordinary humans, so he was not hurt that much.

Xin Xiaoyo quickly picks himself up and angrily glared as Shin Jiao's group.

Then suddenly someone called Shin Jiao on his earpiece.

'Master Shin I did as you command and noticed that the mana interference is coming from a mage tower in the city. It is a ten-story mage tower in the western part of the city. It has a silver-white roof.'

When Shin Jiao heard the report from Mage Mallek he showed a slight smile on his face.

"Roger that, please assist the front lines for a while, just use long-range projectiles…" Shin Jiao commanded.

After that call, he stood up and then gazed at the group of mages who suddenly became wary of him. How could they not? He is able to escape an ice prison without a hitch and it looks easy for him to do so.

Shin Jiao then pointed at the old man.

"Your voice is familiar… If I am not mistaken you are the Master of Emil Vanatia and that old man Gima Santon, the elder of the Great White Tower of Dugal. They were unruly and wanted to deal with me and they got killed in the process… I guess you are here to avenge them, right?" Shin Jiao did not want to beat around the bush and said everything out.

When the rest of the mages heard his words, they were all a bit taken aback. They were enticed by Xin Xiaoyo to come here and get their hands on this man because of his group's technology. The enticements of those techs are truly overwhelming that they could help but want to get their hands on how to create those things.

However, it seems that this is actually a grudge between the two of them. But still, the enticement is there and no one wanted to let go of this opportunity.

"We do not care about your grudge. What we want to stop is the menace that your group has brought to the city. The horde of beasts came from your group and we know that it was you who spread those parasitic plants to attack us!" shouted Rick Orfang who is one of the Grand Magus.

But before anyone could say anything Tong Liwen move forward and showed a slight smile towards Shin Jiao.

He actually wanted to intervene a while ago, but he did not know what really is happening, so he did not want to stand on the wrong side.

He knew both the man Shin Jiao and the two Grand Magus so he is torn between whom he would stand to support. But it seems that the two Grand Magus with him are the ones at fault this time.

He was just actually dragged here by Rick Orfang with the pretense that they have found the true culprit of the beasts' tide outside the city. But through the interaction, he now knew what really is happening.

Those two are actually colluding with each other. They wanted to obtain the technology to create those things that have appeared in Central Town.

"That's enough… You, two old fellows, are getting out of hand. I did not want to say something a while ago because I thought that you guys have some pure motive to correct and find the truth, but instead it was actually for your own greed. Sigh… I am ashamed to be called a Grand Magus of this city along with you two old fellows…" Tong Liwen said with an exasperated look.

When the two heard this they showed angry expressions on their faces.

"Old Liwen… what is the meaning of those words!" Rick Orfang shouted in anger.

But Tong Liwen did not bother with him. He just turns in Shin Jiao's direction and smiled.

"It's been a while, Master Shin…"

"Yes, it's been a while, Grand Magus Tong…"

The two greeted as if they know each other. The people in the crowd showed astonishment in their eyes. They now know that the leader of the Mystique Shop seems to have a good relationship with the Grand Magus of the Tower of Light.

The Tower of Light is one of the most powerful towers in the city especially with the fight against the dark forces.

In the last war, they are the leading force who leads the army of the light against the darkness and the cause why the light won.

Seeing the friendly relationship between the two Xin Xiaoyo was immediately enraged. Then he looks at Rick Orfang beside him and the two seem to have a tacit understanding.

Without hesitation, the two suddenly attacked together. Their targets are Shin Jiao and Tong Liwen.

Xin Xiaoyo quickly attacked Shin Jiao while Rick Orfang dashes towards Tong Liwen.

Everyone who saw this scene showed horrified expressions on their faces. The people inside the hall immediately ran towards the exit. However, some mages suddenly blocked their path.

But before those mages could do anything, the blades of the soldiers are already drawn ready to fight them head-on.

Everyone was immediately tensed while the nobles are in fear of the upcoming battle.
