The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1341

…

As soon as Xin Ja enters the manor, he could immediately sense a gloomy aura in the air. He scanned the surroundings and immediately saw the people in the house are inside a room with a wounded old man lying on a bed.

In that room, Ao Meixi, the 5 guards, Master Yo, and Rong Guan are all gathered. None of them are talking as Master Yo busily concocts a potion to try and cure the old man on the bed.

He did not know what happened, but he is feeling a bit concerned as he quickly walked toward the room.

Knock! Knock!

When they heard the knocking sound, everyone was startled and looked at the door vigilant.

The 5 loyal guards already have their hands at the hilt of their weapons.

"It\'s me… Xin Ja…" Xin Ja called from outside.

When the people inside heard his words, they all showed delight on their faces as Rong Guan excitedly opened the door.

"Master Xin… You\'re alright! I\'m glad that you\'re fine…! I thought that something has happened to you that took you a long time to reach here?" Rong Guan said while showing a smile on his face.

Xin Ja patted the young man\'s shoulder and smiled.

"I… I was just lost…" he said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was silent as they did not know what to say.

Xin Ja walks to the side of Ao Jixo who looks a bit weak.

"I\'ve given some healing potion but… it is not working." Master Yo said and then began to explain what he wanted as a treatment plan.

Xin Ja did not say anything and just calmly put his hand on the old man\'s wrist.

"Hmm… Several rib fractures… broken bones, and some of his internal organs have been wounded. This is crazy… I… I never saw someone still able to survive with such a wound until now…" he muttered while looking at the old man.

He could not help but praise the tenacity of the old man lying on the bed.

"What happened?" Xin Ja asked as he began to take out some silver needles from his ring.

Everyone was a bit stunned when they saw him taking things out of thin air.

But no one said anything and just watch as Xin Ja finished taking out his stuff.

"Master Yo, I will need your assistance in this… For the rest, I would need you to leave this room… Rong Guan, tell me what happened." Xin Ja said as he put on white clothing.

,m Master Yo also began to put on a white robe under Xin Ja\'s instructions.

Rong Guan began telling the story while standing on the side and watching the procedure happening.

Xin Ja is going to do an operation on the old man to align his inner organs and broken ribs. The situation is really complicated that he needs to open himself up to fix his body.

It was at the party when a young master named Xulo Peng along with the other young men in the city took a liking to the beauty of their young miss.

One could not deny the fact that Ao Meixi is truly beautiful. And getting the attention of the many is somewhat normal, especially to those spoiled brats of the clans.

But Ao Meixi did not want to get involved with these young masters, so she tried to politely reject their advances. Almost everyone gave up facing the cold beauty, except for one and that is Xulo Peng.

Xulo Peng is the most domineering young master in Rock Ledge city.

He has done far too many atrocities in the city, but the city lord did not intervene because the Xulo clan has 2 Ki-Champions.

Most families and clans in the city only have a single Ki-Champion in their family and most of them did not even have one.

That is why they did not want to butt head with the Xulo clan.

That night, Xulo Peng insisted on taking Ao Meixi but Ao Meixi resisted which started the conflict.

Ao Jexi stood to protect Ao Meixi and this then resulted in the battle between Ao Jexi and one of the Ki-Champions of the Xulo Clan.

The battle was devastating and almost half of the city lord\'s manor was almost destroyed.

Ao Jixo won the fight and killed the Ki-Champion of the Xulo clan. However, he was sneaked and attacked by the Xulo clan\'s other Ki-Champion resulting in his severe wound.

But Ao Jixo sacrificed a part of his life essence to also wound the other Ki-Champion which stopped the battle.

At this time, the city lord\'s manor interjected and both families took a step back.

But everyone knew that once the remaining Xulo clan Ki-Champion cultivator heals his wound, they would attack the Ao family. And at that time, no one could stop the young master of the Xulo clan, Xulo Peng from taking the prized beauty.

After telling the story, Xin Ja also finished the operation and slowly drip healing potion liquid, which he concocted before, to close the wound of the old man.

The story took more than 2 hours, and that is also the time that Xin Ja took to cure the old man of his wounds.

But what baffled Xin Ja at this time, is the strength of the inner organs of a Ki-Champion.

If he considers himself very strong, when looking at the organs of the old man, he could not even compare himself.

That is why he has to take out 4th and 5th tier healing potions just to close the wounds.

After Xin Ja and Master Yo sit on the chair while massaging their shoulders, Rong Guan rushes outside in excitement and told the others about what he had seen.

30 minutes later…

Ao Jixo is already able to sit while talking with Ao Meixi.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja and Master Yo are on the side sitting by the couch sleeping.

The two were too tired to do anything and needed the rest.

"Young miss… your foresight is truly fascinating… He is not only an alchemist but also a great doctor." Ao Jixo said with a smile.

"I was helpless when he opened my body up and thought that I\'m going to die. But using my spirit sense, I detect how he was able to heal my own body… Truly a fascinating fellow…" he said with a smile.

"However… My… many of my meridians have been damaged…" he said with a sad tone.

When Ao Meixi heard this, her expression sank. This is because she clearly knew that feeling. She had her meridian and dantian damage once before, so she knew the helplessness of losing one\'s powers.

The two kept silent and they knew that their hope now only lies in the hands of the young man named Xin Ja.

…

Meanwhile, in the Xulo clan…

The clan patriarch angrily slaps his son while glaring at the rest of the elders.

The dead body of his uncle lies on the table, while the wounded Ki-Champion, which is the patriarch\'s eldest uncle, sits calmly on the head seat.

"Eldest uncle… we should avenge the death of… of…" the clan patriarch wanted to say something but was cut off by his eldest uncle.

"My brother died fighting… it was an honorable death. But we do not have to worry about anything anymore. We will let that Ao Jixo die an honorable death and then collect the prize. I could tell that the young miss of the Ao family is someone with great potential." The eldest uncle said with a smile.

He was truly astounded at the strength of Ao Jixo. To be able to wound him which would take months to heal even after fighting a hard battle is something that astonished him.

Although he is the eldest uncle, the one with the highest fighting ability is his younger brother. So he is truly shocked to see that a primary stage Ki-Champion is able to defeat the two of them.

"The city lord is asking for compensation… The Ao family has already given their part, now it\'s our turn…" an elder said with a deep frown.

"Patriarch, I\'m saying something against our clan, but… Should this troublesome matter be blamed on your son\'s attitude? He is far too undisciplined and rampant…" an elder suddenly added.

His word made everyone in the hall turn silent. Almost everyone has the same opinion, but not all of them are able to raise this to the hall due to the two powers backing the patriarch.

"It seems that some of you are having the thought of replacing me… Is that right?" the patriarch suddenly said with a cold tone.

The two elders showed incredulous looks on their faces.

"We are not…" one of the two wanted to say something but.

"Shut up! None of you will be able to replace me as all of you are far too weak…" the patriarch shouted.

"This is not about replacing you but about your son\'s behavior…" a stern voice interrupted the group.

An elderly-looking man walked in.

"Grand elder!" everyone greeted.

Even the Ki-Champion cupped his hand and greeted the old man with respect.
