Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 103

…

A soul contract could read what the real situation is and could perceive the heart to which that soul belongs. It could distinguish right from wrong, the truth from falsehood.

So almost no one would dare to use it in a fight as one could not find excuses and find their way out of it.

And because of that, many have considered the action of the Xulo clan's young master to be brave but at the same time foolish.

When they saw a figure wriggling in the arena, they all knew that something bad is happening.

"No! No! Yan'er! Yan'er!" the Xulo clan Patriarch shouted in indignation as he quickly rushes to the arena.

However, he could not push his way through as some experts have already blocked his path.

"Let me through! Let me through! That's my son… that's my son who is dying over there!" he cried in pain as he forces his way through.

An elderly voice suddenly sounded from the judge's arena.

"Let the man through…"

The guards did not hesitate to move to the side and let the grieving man enter the arena.

When he walked beside his son, he could tell that his son is suffering too much.

"No… how could this be? It was you who failed! Why the one dying is my son? What kind of tricks did you do?!" he shouted in indignation.

Xin Ja looks at him with a slight smirk on his face but did not answer.

"You… You cheated your way through this?! I will make sure that you die with my son!" he shouted as he suddenly dashed to attack Xin Ja.

But who would have known that before he could reach Xin Ja, two cultivators would stand on his path holding a circular shield?

Clang!

"This is an alchemy contest… We advise you to not be hasty and attack any of the alchemists in this arena." One of the men said with a cold tone.

The two might not be as strong as the man before them, but they are confident that they could block even an attack from a late-stage Ki-Master. So how could they fear the man before them?

"You! His concoction failed! How could he have won if he did not use any tricks?!" the Xulo clan patriarch shouted in indignation.

The eyes of all the people then shifted to Xin Ja.

"We all saw it, right?!" he added.

The old man suddenly jumped from the stage and landed in the arena. He then walked towards the ruined table of Xin Ja. After looking around he shook his head and then looks at Xin Ja.

"Have you really failed in your concoction?" the elder asked.

Xin Ja showed a faint smile on his face. He wanted to make it suspenseful, but he could not anymore as the elder has already come down from the stage.

"Replying to the elder… I did fail the concoction because of the explosion…" he replied.

"See! I told you! He is cheating! How could he win when he failed…" shouted the Xulo clan patriarch.

The crowd frowned even the judges frowned when they heard this.

How the soul artifact could make a mistake with this?

They are now suspicious that for some reason, the young man before them has found a way to cheat the artifact.

"I must get my justice today?! Or else, my Xulo clan would not stop until the Ao family and this guy dies!" shouted the Xulo clan patriarch.

The entire crowd went silent.

"Shameless! The Xulo clan is utterly shameless!" shouted Ao Meixi.

"You first conspire against us, and now you wanted to use this chance to get rid of us?! Everyone in this place knows that you are after us from the very start!" she added.

The crowd becomes rowdy at this time as they throw looks of contempt at the patriarch of the Xulo clan.

"Those are allegations! Where is your proof?!" he suddenly growled.

The crowd went silent.

Sigh…

Xin Ja knew that they have no proof, that is why he is just trying his best to win the alchemy contest. But that does not mean he has no way of knowing the truth.

He took a step forward and then lifted his hand as a stone could be seen on it.

Everyone was confused why there is a stone with runes in his hand.

Then everyone saw that a strand of smoke from the surroundings began to gather towards the stone.

Xin Ja did a couple of hand signs which startled everyone.

They could not detect any Ki fluctuation from the young man but they could see the small runes on the surface of the stone blinking in a pattern.

Then suddenly, a large strand of smoky substance coming from the direction of Xulo Yan flew towards the stone.

When the patriarch of the Xulo clan saw this, he immediately had a bad premonition.

"Not good!" he quickly dashed towards Xin Ja.

By this time, everyone's attention is on Xin Ja who is manipulating the stone that they did not expect the reaction of the patriarch of the Xulo clan.

Xin Ja, on the other hand, just noticed the flash of the figure. But he did not bother with it.

This is because, right now, he is in phase technique following that difficult spell.

If that guy uses his Ki, then he might hurt him. But he just uses his flesh, so how could he touch Xin Ja?

The figure of the man passes right through Xin Ja at that instant.

Everyone gasped in disbelief upon seeing this phenomenon.

"Is… Is he a ghost?"

"He… he must be a ghost…"

The crowd reacted.

But the elder showed a faint smile on his face. He is aware of such a rune technique. Though it is not that easy to create it is also not that hard.

However, phasing consumed a lot of one's Ki plus it is only for physical attacks. If Ki is used one could still get hurt.

But the thing is that the one using this spell does not have Ki fluctuation. And that made it very interesting for the old man to see.

Stunned, the Xulo clan Patriarch wanted to attack again, but he is not blocked by the two guards.

Then when Xin Ja opens his eyes, the stone also stopped absorbing the mist.

Then suddenly from above it, it displayed a series of lights.

Xin Ja quickly takes out a small glass from his pocket and put it at the top of the stone.

With the glass on top of it, an image was suddenly displayed above the stone.

The image is like a hologram and it shows a group of men inside a meeting hall, the image is like the one who is observing this scene is actually hiding in a corner while listening.

"But that is already a sunken ship and is not able to sail anymore… We can only destroy them to show the others that we are not going to accept any type of humiliation…" the grand elder said as he grabs a piece of paper from the side.

"This will be our plan…"

The group then watches as the Grand Elder writes down his idea.

Everyone did not hear any words from the group but they can see the Xulo clan Grand Elder writing something.

After the group is done with the planning, they all walk out of the hall.

"Yan'er, come out…" the grand elder called.

The image moved and it seems that the one who has this sight is Xulo Yan.

"Our plan is this…" the grand elder showed the writing to the screen.

When everyone saw this, they all showed gasped with disbelief in their eyes.

"What a despicable plan…"

"They are truly meticulous that it even involves the other clans and families…"

"So the idea really came from the Xulo clan?"

The crowd became rowdy as they saw what was written on the paper. It even showed that they are planning to assassinate the city lord after they win the alchemy contest.

The Xan clan was also involved with the plan.

"No! Those are lies… Those are all made-up lies!" shouted the Xulo clan patriarch as he paled in panic.

He knew that with this as evidence of their crime, their whole clan would be doomed.

Without hesitation, he quickly darted out of the arena trying to escape. But before he could do so, a few golden ropes flew out and bind his arms and legs making him tumble to the ground.

A slight upheaval happened as the rest of the Xulo clan people are captured by the soldiers in the arena.

"You might have provided the evidence, but you will still lose this contest if you are unable to produce a pill young lad…" the elder looks at Xin Ja with a smile.

Xin Ja nodded his head and then walks to a corner.

He carefully picks out a black circular object.

The elder frowned when he saw that thing.

Then Xin Ja pinches it lightly and the black mud cracked open.

"The artifact would not lie…" Xin Ja then said with a smile.
