The Geared Immortal

Chapter 468 - The City In Turmoil

Chapter 461

/*unedited*/

In a long ravine with a deep cliff, a group of students and some teachers who are wounded are backed into a corner. On the other side surrounding them are those traitorous teachers who look like they wanted to devour their prey in front of their eyes. Some of the students who could not hold on anymore tried to fly and cross the long ravine to reach the other side. However, they just face death upon doing so.

Being devoured by flying snakes that are waiting as the side of the cliffs is something they did not expect.

However, in this situation what they didn't expect is the teachers which they trusted their lives with are going to kill them. Some teachers who went against the traitors are already dead or wounded, and the situation is making everyone feel hopeless.

"Teacher Lu, Teacher Huang, why are you doing this to us? We were your favorite students, right?"

"Shut up! All of you are just pampered brats. If this is before we would never cultivate spoiled brats like you… But once the revolution succeeds then we can claim what is rightfully ours!"

"Hey, shut up, Teacher Lu… Watch what you say with your mouth!"

"You worry too much teacher Huang… these people are already dead… Hahaha…"

Peng!!!

Suddenly, the man they called Teacher Lu's head burst open with his blood and brain matters scattered everywhere.

Before the other teachers and students could react another teacher fell to the ground and died. One after another the traitorous teacher began falling and dying.

The remaining teacher left is already on the ground about to piss himself in fear. He is currently looking at a tall young man carrying a rifle on his shoulder walking casually towards the group.

"You are the one they call teacher Huang, right?" Shin Jiao asked coldly as he approaches.

The gloomy and cold voice of Shin Jiao sent shivers down the spine of a man named teacher Huang. He subconsciously crawls backward trying to distance himself from the figure that easily took down more than 20 soul forming realm cultivators.

In truth, if Shin Jiao didn't snipe these people, it would take him a long time, before he can take them down. However, combining his energy which is as powerful as a nascent realm to a bullet, it was easy to penetrate their Qi fields and their tough skin.

Hence taking them down was really easy.

"Tell me what is going on here…" Shin Jiao said as he carefully pointed the tip of the rifle towards the man's forehead.

The man immediately shook in fear as his bulging eyes are directed at the muzzle of the rifle.

"What is going on here?!" Shin Jiao shouted which took the man's attention towards Shin Jiao.

"I… I…"

"If I think you are lying, I will just kill you… now tell me the truth…" Shin Jiao warned.

"Ah… Ah… the… We belong to the radical group… from the late King Ding faction… lead... lead by his son, Prince Linque Ding. We… we are instructed to stop the gathering of cores and eliminate all the students." The man named teacher Huang said as he broke out in cold sweat.

"So your group took down the portals, right?"

"Ye… Yes… We are instructed to take down all the portal in the kingdom to prevent the other clans in the cities to go to the capital and help the king."

"So you mean all of the portals are down?"

The man just nodded his head which is filled with sweat.

"I see, so this is what that other one said as the revolution… You people have inconvenienced me for far too long for this…" Shin Jiao said as he pulled the trigger.

The man could not react as his head was blasted open.

"You lot run towards that direction, now!" Shin Jiao shouted as he returns his gun to his ring.

"Thank you, mister…"

"Master we thank you for your help…"

"Thank you…"

"Thank you, young man…"

Some students and teachers who pass by Shin Jiao bowed their heads and said their thanks towards him.

He took out his goggles and scanned the area. He can see multiple beasts of every kind rushing towards the ravine.

"I guess this is where those beasts would die… Sigh… what a waste of resources…" he muttered.

Shin Jiao didn't want to bother with gathering the corpses later, he would just leave that to those students. What he needed to do now is to return to the city and from there solve the problem and then fix the portal.

He would then activate the portal and teleport directly to the capital of the Si kingdom. Although he knew that it would be dangerous, he didn't have any choice. If he would be embroiled in this civil war, then it would be more problematic.

So with his fastest speed, he rushes towards the city.

On his way, he saw Wen Mo Yang and the rest of the students now resting on the other side of the cliff. Seeing them he landed and looks at their condition.

"Everyone should wait here. Observe the situation on the other side. Once the beasts fall to that cliff, you will have a high harvest… good luck to you all… Haha…" Shin Jiao laughed as he turns.

"Master Ji, you jest. Look at our condition. We cannot afford the leisure to gather materials… Plus our bags are already filled with 4th level giant spiders, there's no room left." Wen Mo Yang said with a frown.

"Alright, just stay here then… I think the city is in turmoil. It's better for you to create a defensive formation here, that way you all can preserve your lives…" Shin Jiao said as he walks away.

Everyone watches as he suddenly vanished.

"Who was that guy? He thinks he's all that powerful." the woman who was very haughty and came with Wen Mo Yang and their group asked with an annoyed face.

"Hah! You don't know what you are saying that guy is ridiculously powerful. I think the reason why we can't detect his aura is that he is already out of our league."

"Yeah, I want to have those artifacts of his… they're really cool and powerful."

"Oh, shut up… Hey, miss… you know that guy, right? Can I know who he is?" a young woman suddenly asked Wen Mo Yang.

"Why?" Wen Mo Yang asked in suspicion.

"I… I think… I think he stole my heart."

…

Dongxi city is a big city filled with life and festivity every day. The people living in this city have experienced peace and harmony for a very long time and seldom would encounter troubles. However, none of them expected that today would be different.

Suddenly a large group of powerful cultivators attacked the city. Houses were pillage, men and children were killed, and women were raped. The chaotic scene inside the city turns it into a living hell for those powerless people.

The powerful clans and families all hid under the protection of their own estates and left the city to be ruined by an unknown force.

Even the academies were not spared from the attacks. However, since there are many powerful cultivators in the academies, they didn't easily fall.

Of course, some academies still fell due to the traitors inside.

Xilu academy, Academy headmaster's courtyard

"Headmaster, what should we do? Most of the senior students are in the forest, will they be fine?"

"How could this happen? Why would those people side with that barbarian king who only knows how to slaughter? Are they blind?"

"Headmaster, we should go out and duke it out with them."

The faculty and staff of the academy are currently discussing ways to handle the situation with the headmaster.

The old man just sits there and looks at the worried and enthusiastic faces of the faculty and staff of the academy. He is trying to communicate with the other academies, but it seems that the communication stones are not working.

Right now, he is wishing that they too have that communication technology from the Shin City which they would sometimes use inside the Daemon forest. But since it is being banned by many of the officials in the kingdom, it could not enter their kingdom.

"Now I know that reason why many have objected to it… So this is their plan." The headmaster thought.

He was actually there when the discussion happened in the palace. The king wanted to implement communication technology throughout the kingdom, but it was stopped. Luckily the portal was permitted, but it seems that they have the countermeasure for it, that's the reason it was permitted.

Thinking about the deep scheme of those behind this, the headmaster sighs heavily.

"My king, I wish I can go there and help you." He thought.

While this is happening, another loud sound reverberated from the main gate of the academy.

"Master, we cannot hold on if this continues… we must decide what to do now…"

"Yes, I am willing to fight for the peace of the city… my son is out there, and my wife is at home. I must protect them both."

"I am also willing to fight for my family and the city headmaster."

The group of teachers who have families outside the city began to volunteer themselves to go out and fight. Seeing the worried and brave look at the teachers, the headmaster was happy.

He was right to choose these fine young teachers and so he stood up and said.

"Everyone, I am honored to be your headmaster… We will fight." He said as he walked towards the door.

However, before he can take a few steps forward he felt something and shifted his body. Then a sharp blade appears on his side wounding his torso.. But luckily for him, he was quick enough to dodge the fatal attack.
