Chapter 789

(Unedited)

…

Ji Ha-jun is not sure what is really happening at this time, because he could tell that the city is actually protected by a holy barrier. So how could the power of the shadow beings enter the city? This made him really confused which is clearly shown in his face.

"Haha… I think I can explain what just happened." Flame Lord Krol said with a smile.

"I am here for two reasons…"

"The first one is to observe the Heaven and Earth Opening in the Human race territory and make sure that no unsavory character would interfere. And the second is the technology that truly fascinated me. Hehe…"

"However, in the course of this, I detected some evil intentions so I decided to lay a trap… So I have used you guys. Getting rid of the Shadow Agent is a great feat, and as a reward, I will grant you free access to the Heaven and Earth Opening, you can freely bring your 'things' and use it to show the human race how the other races fare in this glorious event." Flame Lord Krol said with a proud smile.

When the people in the room heard this, they were all elated. If the human race could see the Heaven and Earth Opening they would have a chance to find out how the other races strength and prepares for it in the future.

It would not be a knowledge known by the few but would be a universal knowledge and goal for every human in the human race territory. This would surely become a universal goal and would surely raise the capacity and ability of every human cultivator to improve and grow.

While everyone is in the mood of imagining the possible things to happen in the future, one of the saint rulers raised her hand to gain everyone's attention.

"We will now commence the negotiation… As Flame Lord Krol said we are interested to spread the technology all over the human race territory." She said while gaining the nods from the other saint rulers.

Ji Ha-jun and his group showed elation. They are expecting a hard bargain, but seeing the amicable expression and attitude of these exalted beings, he heaves a sigh of relief.

It is known that these saint rulers are the strongest beings in this world. If they truly willed it, they could easily subjugate their group and only another saint ruler could stop a saint ruler. So how could he not feel fear?

But now everything would be according to their plan. Once the broadcast system is implemented and the negotiation is pushed through, the village will obtain enough energy core to boost their strength and more materials for the craftsmen in the village to use in creating more gears and artifacts.

And so the long meeting began while the rest of the soldiers left the room.

Shin Jiao did not want to stay and do the boring things; he just left with the group who is looking at him with bafflement.

"Master Shin… I never thought that you would also go with us… Hehe…" one of the guards said while the group walks out of the building.

"Well, I'm not suited for negotiations… I would rather craft and create…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"So where would you like to go Master Shin?"

"I will just roam around the city… You guys do your stuff. Don't forget the rules; do not remove your communication device no matter what happens…"

After that short reminder, Shin Jiao left the group and walk towards a fairly crowded place.

Soon he found himself in a market-like street where many vendors are hawking their wares. He could see many artifacts both with traces of runes and some do not.

He discovered that the name of the city really upholds itself as being the artifact capital of the human race.

In this street market alone he could see many artifacts containing the universe's energy in every shape and size.

While walking around, a tall and bronze-skinned boy walks near him.

"Hello sir, this is my family treasure. Would you like to buy it for only 2 energy cores? I just needed to buy food for me and my sister…" he said in a low voice.

When Shin Jiao saw the boy, he was a bit surprised. This is because the boy is around 8 years old, and yet his body is already servant level. However, a slight trace of dark energy could be seen in his aura.

He was baffled because this whole city is protected by the holy barrier, so how the Dark Energy could still exist?

"Hmm… Okay, but if you and your sister are hungry, then two energy cores are not enough. Why don't you take your little sister and go with me to eat something good." Shin Jiao said as he pointed at the restaurant on the side.

When the little boy heard this he showed elation in his expression. But when he looks at the restaurant, reluctance could be seen in his face.

"Go, it is fine… I will be paying for the meal." Shin Jiao said while plastering a gentle smile.

The little boy was still a bit hesitant, but still went and fetches his sister.

Shin Jiao stood near the restaurant while waiting for the little boy.

He soon saw the little boy followed by a person wrapped in ragged clothes that barely show any part of her body. He could see that the woman seem to have been wounded severely.

When the boy and the woman walked near Shin Jiao, he could clearly see the woman who seems to have her face wrapped in bandages.

Seeing her state, Shin Jiao did not ask more and lead the two inside the restaurant.

Many people could be seen inside and the place is boisterous.

When the three figures enter, some threw curious gazes towards them, while others showed contempt in their gazes.

Shin Jiao did not mind them and walk to a table near a corner.

Then a waiter walks near them and asked.

"Good day, sir… What do you want to have?"

"Just give me your best meal…" Shin Jiao replied.

"Ah, of course, sir, of course… That would be 30 energy cores in total…" the waiter said with a smile.

Shin Jiao takes out a small bag and filled it with 32 energy cores then handed it to the waiter. When the waiter noticed the 2 energy core extra, he showed a grateful smile and sauntered away.

Not long later, the table was filled with delicious smelling delicacies which made the little boy's eyes glowed in exhilaration.

However, the woman wrapped in bandages showed hesitation.

"It's okay… you can eat…" Shin Jiao said as he began eating.

The little boy did not hesitate and began gobbling his food. Shin Jiao could see that he was really hungry from the way he gobbles up the food in front of him.

Meanwhile, the woman wrapped in bandage did not lose her composure and slowly ate.

This surprised Shin Jiao and felt admiration for the woman who can control herself even though she is already in that state. Not many people could still have that kind of composure, and this only tells her upbringing and attitude.

While the three are eating, two people suddenly walk near their table.

"You seem to be enjoying your food?" one of the men said with a tone of sarcasm.

No one said anything as if the three people on the table did not hear the man's words.

"This is infuriating… I'm talking to you!" the man suddenly said in a loud voice while raising his hand to grab Shin Jiao's shoulder.

This scene has already attracted the attention of some of the diners inside the restaurant.

As the hand of that person was about to touch Shin Jiao's shoulder, it was stopped by two thin sticks. Since Shin Jiao likes to use chopsticks while eating, he uses his chopsticks to hold and block the young man's hand.

The young man sneered and wanted to push his hand with all his strength. But to his surprise, his hand did not budge. Instead, the two sticks' hold has gotten stronger which made the young man wince in pain.

"Young sir, please let go of the hand of my servant." A sweet young voice suddenly said as a beautiful young woman followed by two handsome young men overflowing with confidence and pride approached near Shin Jiao's table.

"What do you guys want? You are disturbing our meal." Shin Jiao said in a cold tone without looking at the group.

Even though he is not looking at them, he could still see them using his psychokinesis. He dare not use his spiritual or absolute sense as it seems that the immortals in the immortal land could notice it easily.

Hence his psychokinesis is the perfect way to check his surroundings.

When the group of young and haughty people heard his reply, their expression suddenly changed. They were prideful young masters of their families how could they accept hearing such a pompous and imposing tone?

"Disrespectful bastard! I think you are new in this city… Let me show you how things work around here!" one of the proud young men said while lifting his hand in the air.
