The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1172

(Unedited)

…

Inside a cave somewhere near the misty village\'s location, a figure is currently lying on the ground. The figure\'s face is pale, and blood wound not stop coming out of his mouth.

His body is in a bad condition as his right arm lies limply on the ground swelling like a balloon. But the weird thing is that his right arm seems to have lost its bones.

Arrgghh!!!

The guy was suddenly awakened as he seems to be struggling from all the pain in his body.

"Damn it!" he shouted as he punches the ground making a small tremor inside the cave.

Yi Gauwan could still clearly remember what happened last night in that fight. He was escaping and was quick enough to react. If he is only late for a second, then he is sure that he would have lost his life.

Right now, he could not remove the fear in his heart after remembering that terrible attack.

But he could not think straight right now as the pain on his left hand is truly agonizing that he is already thinking of cutting it off.

But he decided to hold on as he did not want to be a cripple. If he could only go back to the village, then he could ask one of the elders to help him with his injury.

What made him deeply depressed is the feeling that his left arm bones seem to have been shattered into pieces.

Plus his internal organ was shaken thoroughly making it hard for him to think of anything through the pain.

He takes out another potion and quickly drinks it.

It did not take long before the potion\'s effect could be felt by his body. As the pain subsided, he dragged his wounded body and runs out of the cave to the direction of the village.

"I will get you back for this…" Yi Gauwan said with gritted teeth as he wanted to tear the body of that youth he has encountered last night.

He should have gotten his hand on Yi Terai. He could have taken her as his woman, but that meddlesome guy destroyed his plan… so how could he not feel angry?

He quickly ran as fast as he could back to the village. If the plan went their way, then the village would not be under the rule of the soldiers from the Glysko kingdom. If that happens then he and his clansmen would now be able to go back to the Glysko kingdom.

He could still remember the time when he was a child. The happy memory he has in the capital of the kingdom. And then he remembers the downfall of his own family. Although that memory is vague in his mind, he could remember it. And these memories came to him after hearing something.

He blames his father for that. Although he did not know the cause of the downfall of his clan, in his mind he is blaming his late father.

He wanted to return to the Glysko kingdom so that he could claim back what is supposed to be his. He knew that if he returns, everything that his father left for him would be returned to him. The reason for this is that he overheard the old village head telling one of the elders about his past.

He came from a prestigious noble clan… the Sewa clan. The clan fell because of the mistake of their head. But that elder said that the clan still stands, and if \'he\' returns then they might hail him as the true successor of the clan.

But the old bastard did not agree because of his selfish reasons. From that point on, he began his plan to escape the village and go back to the kingdom. And after years of planning, an opportunity has suddenly presented itself in the form of war.

So right now, he has to return and get treated. He could now imagine living an affluent life in the capital city of the Glysko kingdom.

That is the life that he wanted and not in this small village filled with uncertainty.

Right now, Yi Gauwan tries hard to run as fast as he could while taking out another potion and drinking it.

Soon, he arrives in the area where the old village head has died. The body of the old man is still there and it made Yi Gauwan sneer as he walks closer. He then noticed that something is wrong. As he walks closer he saw the thick fog covering the valley below.

"This… The village? What is happening?" he muttered as he could not see anything.

He quickly takes out a talisman inside his pouch and began walking down the cliff. The talisman is a way for them to navigate through the thick mist of the misty village. It could show them a way that is about 20 meters ahead of them.

As he walks he could suddenly smell the stench of blood in the air.

This made him frown and want to scold those other villagers as he knew that some of them wanted to resist the kingdom of Glysko and follow the old village head. In his mind, he is already praying that they should be all dead now.

"I guess, most of the old geezer in the village should now be gone. Those elders who followed me should be the ones taking care of the village right now. I need to get there are soon as possible…" he muttered as he began to walk faster.

Soon, he arrives in a path leading to the village entrance.

As soon as he walks near the wall, he could immediately see the thick smoke rising high above the village. Then he noticed the traces of battle within the area which made his heart skip a beat.

Yi Gauwan became cautious as he slowly sneaks to the side of the wall and as he walks closer to the village gates, he could already see many dead bodies lying on the ground and at the top of the walls.

"Damn it! What happened here?"

Then his eyes landed on a familiar figure standing in the middle of the road to the gate.

He slowly walks closer and noticed that something is odd. He immediately recognized that figure as he quickly runs towards him.

"Elder…" he said as he patted the man\'s shoulder.

As soon as he did, he arrives on the figure\'s side. And from there, he could see that the elder is actually holding another figure in front of him.

Then a spear has actually skewered the two together.

When he patted the elder, the head of that village elder slowly slid down. But it did not fall off as there is still a piece of skin holding the head on its neck.

The face of Yi Gauwan turned pale almost immediately as he now realized that something has truly gone wrong. With disbelief in his heart, he quickly runs inside the village and as he enters the gate, he finally saw the carnage and the gruesome state of the village.

Headless figures, naked women, and even some children are skewered on stakes which could be seen all over the village.

He could immediately recognize some of those people as they are the one who agrees with his plan to let the people of the kingdom of Glysko enter the village.

They have controlled the array and lessened the fog surrounding the village. And because of this, the soldiers from the Glysko kingdom were able to find the village easily.

He could see some of the Glysko kingdom soldiers lying dead on the ground. But the gruesome death of those who followed him has hit Yi Gauwan\'s heart with extreme guilt. He did not know… he really did not know that such a thing would happen.

Then he remembers those soldiers he found lost in the mist and how he made a deal with them. He knew that everything has stemmed from his greed and desire for a new life.

Tears began flowing out of his eyes, as he began to deny the truth before him.

"No… this is not happening. This is not happening." He muttered.

"This is not true… Haha… It was all their fault. They died because they resisted… That\'s right. I was not here. So the soldiers killed them because they said something wrong… Hahaha… Foolish people, they resisted and they died. That\'s right… that\'s what happened. This… this is… this is not my fault…" he said mumbling to himself as he fell to the ground kneeling while mumbling incomprehensible words.

The faces of those people who put their trust in him, and the promise he gave them made him feel that everything is all a dream… it was just a nightmare that when he wakes up everything will turn back to how it used to be. Everything will be all right…

…

Yi Terai walks out of the weird house and discovered that she is actually stopping a very large tree.

She looks around and did not recognize the forest she is in.

"Please move ahead more… I need to store this house…" the voice of the youth following behind her said.

She looks behind and quickly takes a few steps forward. Then in front of her eyes, she saw the big house suddenly disappearing.

Upon seeing this, her eyes immediately went wide in disbelief.
