Chapter 630

(Unedited)

…

Many years ago, Yan Nian, Zhen Nian, and Rat Ling was plotted against by their family due to succession rights and was banished into the dark forest after crippling their cultivation bases. The three did not expect such cruel punishment but did not have a choice.

Their banishment to the dark forest is like a death sentence to the three young people. However, due to their own ability and prowess, they were able to survive. When the Nian family heard that the three are still alive, they sent an elder to secretly kill them.

Through Rat Ling's innate ability even without his own cultivation, the three were able to thwart those people searching got them.

However, the Nian clan elder found them.

But as soon as they were about to be struck, the four of them were suddenly devoured by the void. Then they found themselves in a land without any spiritual Qi. The elder still tried to attack the three but found out that he could not use any of his powers or ability.

But Rat Ling on the other hand is different. His survival instinct has molded him to be a very strong person, plus he also learned fighting skills from Shin Jiao. With that, Rat Ling was able to kill that elder with ease.

Who would have known that their fight was seen by a passing officer? And because of this, he has immediately recruited Rat Ling into the army.

They soon found out that they have arrived in a place called the Golden Dragon Empire.

Shin Jiao sat quietly beside the bed while checking the condition of Zhen Nian while listening to his story. Yan Nian on the other hand is preparing them something to eat in the small kitchen.

The two are staying in a small dilapidated house. Although the house is small, it is situated near the military camp where Rat Ling is staying.

Every now and then Rat Ling would visit them and give them some of his money. The three have been living like this from then on.

"Hmm…" Shin Jiao suddenly mumbled.

The two suddenly showed a worried expression on their faces. But they didn't say anything. They just waited with bated breath while observing the expression on Shin Jiao.

As Shin Jiao observes this former master of his, he feels a bit guilty in his heart. He was not able to be of help. Although he knew that whether he was there or not, they would suffer the same fate. But he just could not help but lament on their sorry state.

Suddenly a glint of determination appears in his eyes.

As he looks at the two who now has a mature look on their faces. Shin Jiao showed a faint smile.

"I can treat your feet and help you become healthy again. But after that, what would you do, Brother Zhen?"

"I… I would just do business or work for someone else…"

"How about you, Sister Ya?"

"Me? I… I don't know… I'm already used to be with little Zhen…"

"Don't you want to get married have a family of your own?"

"Pfft… Who would want to marry an old lady like me?"

"You're not that old. In fact, in my previous world, you're still at the right age to marry."

After Shin Jiao said that, Ya Nian's face immediately turned crimson red, and angrily stumped her feet, then stop arguing with Shin Jiao.

Hearing the conversation of his sister and his friend, Zhen Nian just smiled.

"Alright, I'm just messing with you Sister Ya… Okay, I will now start treating your leg Brother Zhen… here bite on this." Shin Jiao handed Zhen Nian a rolled piece of cloth.

As Zhen Nian bit on the cloth, Shin Jiao immediately uses his psychokinesis to realign the bones on Zhen Nian's legs. Although Shin Jiao used local anesthesia it was not enough to numb the excruciating pain while he is setting Zhen Nian's bones.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of bones being set in place made Ya Nian almost feel the pain herself as she showed a pained look on her face. But soon as she observed her brother's slowly calming expression, she knew that everything is already done.

"Alright, you have to take care not to move too much yet. It will take about a week before the bones and the muscles would heal. So be careful…" Shin Jiao said as he carefully wipes the sweat on his brow.

This is the first time that Shin Jiao did such a thing. This is because there are too many fractured bones that have already mixed with the muscles. As the time that the leg of Zhen Nian was broken is already about a year, Shin Jiao did a lot of things in just a short time to ease the pain his friend would suffer. In doing this, it has taken him a lot of his energy and mental power. Hence he felt a little bit of mental fatigue at this moment.

As Shin Jiao laid his body to the side, Zhen Nian showed a grateful look on his face. But before he could move, Shin Jiao suddenly stood up and began taking out some plasters and other materials from his sleeves.

Then he began wrapping Zhen Nian's leg and applied a cast on it.

The three had a nice dinner that evening. However, Shin Jiao did not sleep.

This is because he can sense some people outside of the house. He can even feel the dense killing intent of those people.

Shin Jiao showed a smirk on his face as he silently stands up and walked out of the house. Before walking out, he suddenly activated the same array formation to protect the small house.

Meanwhile, Ya and Zhen Nian look at each other with worry in their eyes.

"Yawn… This is a really nice night…" Shin Jiao said while looking at the stars.

"This is a really good night to die… Don't you think so?" he said while not moving from his spot.

The people hiding in the shadows while slowly surrounding him suddenly stop their movement. They didn't know if this person found them by any chance that he is aware of their presence, however, they were paid to kill this person and the other guy inside the house then take the woman. So no matter what they must do their best to complete it.

Hence one of the people in the shadows immediately jumps out from his hiding place and attacked Shin Jiao brandishing his spear.

As he thrust his spear towards Shin Jiao's body, he soon discovers something different. This slight distraction made the man miss his target as he landed.

However, the man found himself unable to maintain his consciousness and his breathing becoming harder. Then a flow of warm blood began gushing out of his throat.

When the man fell to the ground, his blood continuously flowed turning the ground crimson red.

The mysterious death of their comrade made the others a bit stunned. But they didn't give up and also decided to jump out of their hiding places.

The others decided to attack the house while the rest keeps the young man with a mysterious ability busy.

But soon, they found that they were all mistaken.

It didn't take long for Shin Jiao to kill his opponent. With the use of an ice awl-like weapon, Shin Jiao dispatches the assassin with ease. Those who have good eyes saw it but were still unable to dodge its silent but deadly attack.

Shin Jiao's psychokinesis has already reached around a tenth of his total mental range with is around 100 meters. So within a ten meters radius, he is able to wield his weapon making it fly freely everywhere within that radius.

After killing those people, Shin Jiao immediately gathers their corpses and waited for a while before hiding them inside his ring.

After returning inside the house, he asked Ya Nian where he can find those people who attacked her this morning.

Although a bit reluctant as she didn't want to trouble Shin Jiao, she still told him where he can find them.

And that night a large underground gang in the capital city of the Golden Dragon Empire was razed to the ground and turned into ashes.

The next day…

A piece of news began circulating around the city about the destruction of Pig Kong's gang and the establishment under their name. Then on top of that, the death of hundreds of hooligans made the city turned silent especially those that belong to the underworld.

Atop a palace, a handsome noble-looking man is currently looking down at the huge city belong him. His eyes are glued to those places that had traces of black smoke still rising in the air. Although his expression looks calm, his fists are clenched tightly.

"Who was it? Who dare destroy Pig Kong's gang?" he asked the eunuch looking middle-aged man standing behind him.

"2nd prince, we are still investigating this incident. So far we haven't had any clue yet. But rest assured by the end of this day we would already found someone." The eunuch replied.

"Damn it! Pig Kong is my subordinate, how dare anyone in the city touches him. Are they not afraid of my wrath?"

"There might be a chance that the 1st prince or the 3rd prince is making their move."

"Humph… Those two are cowards, but I'm wondering why until now father still did not give me the crown prince position. Is he going to let us 3 brothers fight? If that happens then those two imbeciles would not last for a day against me."

The eunuch nodded his head. In the eunuch's mind, he is already thinking of the 2nd prince's prowess and abilities. How could his two brothers win against him?

The Golden Dragon Empire only has 3 princes. That is because only those that belong to the primary wife of the emperor have the right to the throne and the rest does not qualify. In the succession rights for the throne, the Golden Dragon favors one's strength and military might most of all.

This is because the Golden Dragon Empire is a militaristic empire that is always at war against both beasts and men.. And the strongest person in the empire is the emperor who is sitting on the Golden Dragon throne.
