The Geared Immortal

1375 Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 125

Chapter 1375

…

The travel to the Black Wing city which is the capital of the Radong kingdom became peaceful and the flying transport finally arrives at the sky port of the city.

The 2 weeks of travel have been very exciting as the group has faced a lot of things.

Xin Ja on the other hand looks at the vast city which looks like a huge metropolitan than a normal city.

He can see many strange beasts flying in the air, and black smoke from some of the large structures on the horizon which he knew are manufacturing buildings.

In the Jimal kingdom, such a scene is not common, and it is his first time seeing a city with huge manufacturing land.

He did not know what those buildings are making and for now, he did not care. What he cares about is the contest and the return to the other side.

Encountering demons on this side means that the other side might be already in danger. He could not waste any more time in this place than necessary.

His only regret is his communication with Rou Chenchen to which most of his letters and video recordings were not relied upon.

He also sensed that she has not touched the shared Mule after all this time. But he is not worried that something has happened to her. This is because the Mule's shared function is still active, which means that she has not met with any unfortunate circumstances.

Plus, he now showing himself for now is quite better for her. As he analyzed everything that has happened over and over again, he knew that he is at fault for most of them.

As he walked with the group to the busy street of Black Wing city, he noticed that this place is truly a place where powerful beings congregate. From the people he could see on the roads, he already could tell that the lowest of them is in the Ki-Adept realm and the highest is someone he could not even detect the height of cultivation.

From this scene alone, he could not help but feel a bit apprehensive and uneasy staying in such a place.

One wrong move and he would be facing death in such a place.

Soon, the group arrives at a place where someone told them is a good place to rent an inn.

From the looks of it, there are many travelers in this place looking for an inn to say at.

The elders of the alchemy association in the capital have already left earlier so they could only follow the schedule and look for an inn first.

They still have 2 days before the competition in the capital would start and that is plenty enough for them to prepare.

"Uncle… I think that place is a good place to stay at…" Ao Meixi pointed at a 4-story inn with a slightly bustling crowd in front of it.

Even though the crowd in front of that hotel is bustling, it is not as crowded as the other inns in the area.

With a nod of his head, Ao Jixo walked towards the direction of the inn pointed by Ao Meixi.

As soon as the group arrives in front of the inn, they suddenly noticed two people walking out.

Upon seeing those two people who look really familiar to her, the expression on Ao Meixi's face changes.

How could she not know who those two are, especially that haughty-looking young man walking in front?

At this time, the young man lifted his head while laughing and saw the familiar face of Ao Meixi.

Without a second thought, he quickly walks toward the group.

"Well, if it isn't Miss Ao… I've been longing for this meeting at last. I thought that I would not see you again after you left… But now, I'm surprised to see you here in the capital. This is truly… fate. Haha…" Lei Berong chuckled while looking at Ao Meixi with interest in his eyes.

He has been eyeing the young woman for a long time ago. He has played with her emotions and destroyed even her family, but she did not fold which made him feel more interested in her.

But then she suddenly had a strong footing in the kingdom as two of her alchemists won the round and could enter the finals in the capital.

So how could he not feel worried? If worse comes to worst she would cause destruction between her family and his clan which he could not allow.

That is why they send her a marriage proposal which she has not replied to yet.

While looking at the group he decided to push his luck right now and force them to agree with the marriage proposal, that way he could save the situation and his family would not blame him for what he has done before.

Plus, if he could get her to agree then he would be earning big this time.

"I think that the proposal of my Berong Clan is very nice to your family, right? We will take you in and from now on protects you…" he suddenly said.

"Do you think I'm blind? You dare to…"

"Are you proposing a marriage Young Master Berong?" someone suddenly interjected.

A few young men walked out of the inn and headed towards the group of Lei Berong and Ao Meixi.

When the people saw the group they all parted ways and made way for the few young men who came out of the inn.

"3rd prince, Gu Haizong!" someone exclaimed as they all bowed.

The rest of the people around them also bowed their heads.

Even Ao Meixi and the people around her bowed. Xin Ja followed the group and silently observes the situation.

"Haha… It seems that you are the lucky bride that Brother Lei has chosen… You should be happy to have been picked by him…" the 3rd prince said with a smile.

No one answered even Ao Meixi feels a bit reluctant to answer as she did not want to offend the royal family.

"Why aren't you agreeing? Does this prince have to say it again the second time?" the 3rd prince asked with a glint of anger in his eyes.

In the capital, his words hold weight and no one dares to obstruct them. How dare a mere lowly commoner try to disregard his word?

Everyone was silent and just gave the Ao family a pitiful look. They know how arrogant the 3rd prince is and how influential those that are backing him are. So how could a small family from the countryside be a match for his influence?

"Do you mean that your words are higher than the law of the land that the king has decreed?" a serious voice suddenly made everyone feel a bit shocked.

They all look around them to know where that voice came from but could not see anyone as the voice came from around the place.

The 3rd prince's expression turned dark.

"Who dares say that?" he asked with an angry expression.

But no one answered.

The 3rd prince is now really angry as he did not expect that someone would retort him.

His aura suddenly changes and his body exuded the power and strength of a primary level Ki-Champion realm cultivator.

He glared at the people around him and wanted to rampage but a figure suddenly appear.

"3rd prince… Now is not that time for you to cause any trouble… The royal family is holding this competition with high regards…" an old man said as he floated calmly in the air.

Everyone was silent at the appearance of the old man. Xin Ja has already noticed this powerful being and knew that this might be a protector of the kingdom according to what he has known.

"Haha… Elder, I'm just saying that those who wanted to challenge me should come out… and not say words of derogatory meaning…" the 3rd prince retorted but his demeanor is calm.

"What that voice said is actually true. According to the rules, one's marriage cannot be forced by an outsider except in the family… so what you are doing is against the law…" the old man said with a smile.

The 3rd prince frowned when he heard this. He did not say anything and just frowned while folding his arms.

The old man then disappears.

"Haha… I think I have a way to resolve this…" Lei Berong suddenly interjected.

"I want to challenge one of you in a duel…" he suddenly said with a smile.

The expression of Ao Meixi turned serious as she is now filled with impatience while looking at the haughty man.

"It was him who has killed my people, right?" he suddenly pointed at Xin Ja.

Everyone was stunned and looks at the unassuming young man beside Ao Meixi.

"I challenge you to a life and death duel. Since you have killed my people, then you should expect my retaliation, right?"

Lie Berong has already heard of how really strong that young man is from his spies. He may look weak, but there is more to him than meets the eye. Plus, if he takes down the bastard, then he would be able to easily defeat the Ao family's rise to power.

That would snip things out of bud earlier.

Before everyone could say anything the 3rd prince suddenly showed a glowing expression.

"Good, I agree! Let the battle start!" he said without hesitation.
