Chapter 1186

(Unedited)

…

When the man enters the woods, all he could see are trees all around him. No matter where he turns he could only see trees all over the place.

He could not see his two companions, so how could he feel at ease at this point in time.

"What is this? This should not be happening, right?" he muttered as he looks around the place.

He could tell that the helmet is still functioning as he has not fainted yet. But what he could not understand is why he has lost his sense of direction.

After looking around for a while, he could soon feel that something is really happening and he has no choice but to stop walking.

Swish!!!

Something suddenly appears out of nowhere and it caught the man off-guard. It struck the mask on his face but it was not strong enough to break the Ki field around his body.

He suddenly shifted his gaze to the side and glared in the direction of the arrow, but he did not see anything.

He then checked his mask but dare not remove it. He was suddenly surprised as he did not see any tear on the mask.

"Hmm… I guess this mask is sturdier than it looks after all…" he muttered as he continues walking forward.

Yawn!!!

Suddenly the man unexpectedly yawned as he feels a bit drowsy. His eyes are a bit heavy and his feet and body seem to start dragging him.

A terrible realization appears on his mind and he wanted to quickly do something. He held his breath and wanted to take out some potions. However, he suddenly found himself falling to the ground and becoming unconscious.

…

Xin Ja woke up the next day when he feel someone entering his room.

When he shifted his gaze to the door, he saw Yi Terai entering with a tray of bowls in her hand.

"Hey, you're awake! Eat some breakfast first… We have some business to attend to…" she said as she put the bowl on the table.

"Business? What business?" Xin Ja asked in confusion.

"Well… This is what happened…" Yi Terai began to narrate to Xin Ja what has happened last night.

On the border of the forest, there are three powerful beings at the 10th level who tried to infiltrate the mist. If the mist was not upgraded by Xin Ja then they might have been in trouble by that.

Those guys are wearing a mask and their body looks like forest creatures. However, the forest border guards luckily discover this earlier and quickly took action.

Xin Ja was a bit amazed at the news that three 10th level powerful beings has entered the forest. How could he not feel afraid of this news?

He quickly finished his breakfast and quickly hops on a Mecha and enters the forest. With a pendant on his body, Xin Ja easily bypasses the Beguiling formation and found the three unconscious fellows.

He held his breath and wore goggles then went out of his Mecha. He then approaches one of the men and inserted a few needles on his body after removing his armor.

He then did the same thing to the other two people.

After that, he hops on to his Mecha and drags all three back to the village.

…

Inside a darkroom in the village, a man with a thick beard is sitting on a chair while his body and arms are tied by chains.

On his neck, there is a collar with blinking blue light.

Ugh…

The man slowly woke up and then looks at his surroundings.

"Where… where am I?" he asked in a low voice as he looks around him.

The room is a bit dark and there is only a single light coming from above the desk in front of him.

He suddenly noticed a figure sitting calmly at the opposite side of the desk.

"Who are you? What do you think you're doing to me? Release me this instant!" the man shouted in anger.

He is a powerful person and one of the most respected warriors from Silver Glade. So could he just sit still when he found himself in a weird place?

He then found himself being chained and that he could not exert his power to break the chain. Then he noticed the metal collar on his neck which made him feel confused, especially the blue blinking light.

The guy at the opposite side of the table did not say anything and just sits there with folded arms while looking at him. He could see a sneer on the man's face.

"Damn you!" the man in the chain suddenly jump to attack the man on the opposite side of him.

However, his body was held in chains so he was immediately restrained.

"Ugh…" his bulging muscles and veins could be seen as he tries to break the chain on his body while glaring at the man in front of him.

"That's useless… That chain is unbreakable… and if you use your power, that thing on your neck would explode and your head will separate from your body…" the man calmly said.

The man in the chain suddenly stopped as he did not expect to hear such words. His forehead was suddenly covered in sweat upon hearing what would happen to him.

"Do not do this! I am from the Silver Glade Merchant Company! If I die here, then you guys are finished!" the man shouted in anger as he threatened.

When he saw that silence permeate the room, he suddenly feels that he has won. He could threaten this group with his power.

He is already thinking of using the background of the Silver Glade to rob the blueprint of the Mecha and return to the company with flying colors.

If this happens, then he would surely receive more money or resources for his cultivation.

And so a confident smile appears on his face.

"Now, before everything turned sour… you guys should surrender the blueprint of the Mecha to me and my group, then release us… That way you can maintain your safety here in your small village…" he said with brimming confidence.

Suddenly, he noticed the man standing up from his seat and leaving the room without a word.

The silence of the man reveals that he might be afraid of him and his background.

"This is easier than I thought…" he muttered.

At this moment, outside the three interrogation rooms, Xin Ja and Yi Terai are watching what is happening inside through a mirror.

If these people can use their Ki, then these one-way mirrors would not be useful as they could easily see through such a thing using their Ki.

But since they are powerless, then this is a good way to observe an interrogation.

"The bearded guy is really gullible… he talked just like that… I guess he is not as tough as the two people…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

"Silver Glade… I did not expect that they would make their move earlier than others. What should we do Young Master Xin? That merchant group is too sinister… I don't want you to experience what has happened last time…" Yi Terai said with a worried expression on her face.

"Well, we can only prepare for the worst… But I guess, we need to find where their boss is before we can act." Xin Ja said as he walks to the walk and form a Ki pattern on his palm as he touches the wall where the bearded man is.

Suddenly, the room reverberates and the bearded man feels his mind beginning to fog up.

"Eh? Why am I in the 5th Fortress town? Oh… I... I have to report to Elder Lin… Hehe… If he knew what I have known then, he would surely reward me…" he muttered while his eyes have a look of haziness.

Those who are sitting outside observing the room could not help but shake their heads.

"What kind of man is that? He did not even resist the beguiling formation…"

"Haha… What do you know? That is the true ability and skill of Young Master Ja…"

"That's right! With Young Master Ja with us, it would be easy for us to get information from these fools…"

The people observing began to discuss outside.

Meanwhile, other information began to come out from the mouths of the other two in the other rooms after the beguiling formation was activated.

Without their Ki, the formation is really heavy to their minds that they began to hallucinate their deepest wishes.

And right now one of their deepest wishes is to return back to their masters.

"The 5th fortress town? That is behind the borders of the Jimal kingdom, right?" Yi Terai said with a frown.

"Hmm… Alright, I need to prepare… Wrap up everything in here…" Xin Ja said as he walks out of the darkroom.

Following behind him, Yi Terai has a worried look on her face.

"Young Master Ja… Are you sure of what you're doing?" Yi Terai said as she seem to have read what was on Xin Ja's mind.

Xin Ja just nodded his head in reply.
