The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1289

…

That day, the capital of Jimal was suddenly turned upside-down by a raging prince.

\'…I have a bit of a problem, the Rou and Zaoi clans are targeting Chenchen… Please help her… I will owe you this favor even in the next life… And take care of my family… thank you, my friend…\'

Those are some of the words the Xin Ja has sent him that night which made him feel that something is amiss. But when he recalled how crafty that fellow is, Han Bai decide to just help his girlfriend. But who would have known that everything is not as it seems?

Brain bugs… How could it be brain bugs?

Even a Ki Master would not stand against those things in a dark environment. So how could Xin Ja be able to fight against them?

Outside the Zaoi clan burning manor, a royal soldier walks out while dragging a barely breathing person.

That person is none other than Ki Master Zaoi Qinglao.

Zaoi Qinglao discovered that the day he fought against Xin Ja, he did not only lose his arm but was also inflicted with a strange poison.

The poison is actually corroding the Ki energy in his body as if it were chaotic Ki.

It is known that chaotic Ki could not be absorbed by anyone.

It was a conundrum that he wanted to go back to the forest and then ask that guy how to remove the strange poison.

But he could not do that because, he is already weak and if he went to that place, then he would only be going there to his death.

But who would have known that the royal soldiers would attack the Zaoi clan manor and then almost destroy everything?

Then he was beaten to a pulp and was dragged outside like a dog.

"Where is the cave?!" shouted Han Bai while looking angrily at Zaoi Qinglao.

Upon hearing the words of the prince, he immediately knew why the clan was attacked by the royal soldiers. He could not help but grit his teeth in anger.

He has been a Ki Master in the Zaoi clan for many years now, but this is the first time that the clan suffered such humiliation.

He could not help but cursed that brat Ximen for dragging the whole clan because of his ambition.

Well, he could not just blame Ximen for such a thing as it was a unanimous decision of the whole clan to do such a thing. However, he still blames Ximen for bringing up the suggestion to marry the Rou clan genius.

But because of this, their Zaoi clan actually suffered such a blow.

What baffled everyone right now is the reason why this is happening? The scariest thing about the situation right now is the involvement of the military.

Besides the 4th prince stood one of the highest military leaders of the kingdom, Marshal Tee Gui.

He wanted to know, he wanted to ask… Why is the military trying to destroy the whole of the Zaoi clan?

And now after hearing the question he suddenly has a vague idea.

"Are… are you… looking… for that… trash?" Zaoi Qinglao asked while stammering but a slightly mocking smile could be seen on his battered face.

"Hehe… You guys are too late… He… He is already… a lost… cause… You can find him here…" Zaoi Qinglao chuckled and takes out a small map made of skin.

After taking the map from his hand, he was knocked unconscious by the royal guard.

"Marshal Tee…" the 4th prince quickly gives the map to Marshal Tee.

Without hesitation, Marshal Tee and a few soldiers quickly headed in the direction of the cave.

As they arrive, Marshal Tee stopped his soldiers from approaching the cave.

"Marshal… there is something wrong with the cave…" a soldier who is proficient in array formation suddenly said.

"Military rune code…" the soldier said as he pointed at the strange rock.

When Marshal Tee saw the rock he squinted and realized that there is a message imbued on it. Only the soldiers could understand it.

The rock seems to contain a rune spell that only a Ki Master could break. But if one belongs to the military unit of Marshal Tee, they could easily break this code.

They were all shocked to see such a lock.

When the soldier finished breaking the code, he was about to push the rock when suddenly, Marshal Tee noticed something.

"Get out of here now!" he shouted as he grabbed the rest who are close to him and dashed out.

The others quickly reacted and followed.

Ka-Boom!!!

The cave suddenly exploded and there was a cave-in.

"Those bastards are too crafty! We have let our guard down…" Marshal Tee said in anger upon seeing some of the wounded soldiers around him.

He did not expect that the whole cave is actually rigged to blow.

Being the ruined cave, he could not help but lament the situation inside that place. He knew that Xin Ja would be either below that cave or on the deeper level of the cave.

But no matter what… before they could take him out, they have to excavate everything.

He could not help but lament the situation and rage began to envelop his heart.

Because of their greed, a promising youth that has helped the kingdom in its most dangerous time has actually fallen.

Although the Zaoi clan is powerful and big, he did not believe that he could not destroy them in one go.

And for the reason why he will destroy them?

He would just put this on a case of espionage and national safety sabotage.

And so the soldiers return to the capital city, and Marshal Tee quickly meets with the king.

Meanwhile, inside a lavishly decorated room in the alchemist association building…

A beautiful young woman is currently lying in bed with a few people looking at her with astonishment.

Who would have known that the genius alchemist who normally looks ordinary is actually an empire destroying beauty?

When they removed her glasses after she passed out, they realized that the glasses is actually a concealment artifact that conceals her true face.

"I think she is always using the glasses to hide this from us, right?"

"When did she change? I mean, I\'ve seen her before without glasses but her face did not change back then…"

"Ah… I also remember such a thing. I wonder when did her face change?" muttered another elder.

​ "Hmm… This… This is an effect of a pill…" suddenly Association head Chung said while squinting as he observed her impeccable face.

"What do you mean, Association Head?" asked an elder.

"I remember that she found a unique fruit in the market… That was a year ago… She asked me to help her refine the fruit because it contains strong Ki energy. We were able to refine 5 pills at that time… I really feel proud of what I have done… Haha…" Chung Pan described.

"I still have 2 of those pills… I guess she took one… So this means that the pill\'s effect is actually like this…" Chung Pan muttered while showing a wide smile on his face.

"If this pill ever gets out of the market, it would surely cause too much commotion in the whole kingdom… I think all the female citizens of this kingdom would flock to our alchemy association if this happens…" an elder exclaimed.

"Hmm… There are not many changes in her bone structure… This only means that the pill would actually bring out one\'s true perfect appearance upon taking the pill…"

"So you mean, this is her perfect form?"

"Yes, I guess so…"

Everyone nodded their head in understanding.

Suddenly, an association member walks inside and whispers something in the ears of the Association Head.

When Chung Pan heard the man, he frowned and then looks at Rou Chenchen.

"The Rou and the Zaoi clans would be facing difficulties starting today… We should protect her and let her stay in our care from now on… It seems that the boyfriend of this young lady is not just some common man…"

"But then… sigh… No one should know about this news, do you understand?" Chung Pan sternly said at the man beside him.

The association member nodded his head and then heads out.

"What is the matter?…" asked an elder.

"All of us should go to the meeting hall…"

…

As the high-ranking elders and the association head gather in a meeting, Chung Pan relays to them the bad news.

There is a possibility that the man that Rou Chenchen loves is already dead inside the mountainside rubble.

They did not know when the army would be able to open that place. But they did not have any hope that the guy named Xin Ja would be able to survive.

And so… that day… 2 clans and the 6th prince were punished by the kingdom.

But because the 6th prince is the son of the king, he was punished to be confined in his own courtyard.

And because of this, the things that the 6th prince has worked hard for many years were toppled to the ground by the 4ht prince.

And this caused the 3rd prince who is eyeing the throne to suffer a huge blow.

While this is happening, Xin Ja has already arrived on the other side of the planet.

But upon his arrival, he was suddenly besieged with a huge problem.
