…
After the investigation, Shin Jiao discovered that the guy came from a group numbering up to 30 plus people and was rescued from one of the remote town's well-known mage towers.
The Phoenix tower is one of the most famous towers in the Outer World other than the Great White Tower of Dugal.
They have been in control of the many cities and towns before the appearance of the Mystique Shop. Their strength is truly horrifying and many simple people would not dare fight against them. But one day, they were raided by the Mystique Shop forces and were forced to give up their captives.
This has ticked the higher up of the mage tower and decided to retaliate. And this is the first part of their retaliation.
Shin Jiao listens to the side as a mage reported their findings.
With a nod of his head, he pointed at the few pictures on the screen.
"The curse that they have implanted on some people is something like a 'Gu' bug. And the trigger for this bug to act is the sudden spike of anger in a person." He explained.
"We have to remove these bugs and send a message to the Phoenix tower. It seems that they have not learned their lesson from back then." Shin Jiao added.
When the others heard him, they all knew what would happen next.
In just one day, several Phoenix Towers came crumbling down from the assault of the people from the Mystique Shop. Those who surrendered did not suffer anything but were instead inspected and interrogated by the people from Shin Jiao's group.
Those who resisted were all vanquished and their tower turned into rubbles.
The people from the city already knew the horrible things that are happening inside the mage towers and were not surprised upon seeing the corpses found inside of them.
Plus, ever since the arrival of the Mystique Shop in their city or town, everyone knew that the lives of the people became prosperous, hence them taking down a mage tower that has caused them anguish and suffering for a long time is something that the people applaud of.
At this time, Rick Orfang, floated in the air along with a few of the high-ranking mages from the other Phoenix towers. They are glaring as a figure standing on the ground below them.
"You dare to assault us when we did not do anything against you! We have been bearing you and your people's arrogance! If this means that we will die defending our rights we will fight you to death!" shouted Rick Orfang, the leader of the Phoenix tower in the Outer World.
Shin Jiao showed a sneer on his face while looking at the group above him.
"Haha… This is not the first time I heard evil people proclaiming themselves as righteous… You have abducted people from the immortal land and experimented on them. We just rescued our people from your hands. And now that we have freed them, you still did not want to relent and implanted their bodies with a curse… Now that is pushing too far, don't you think?"
"Hahaha… Spewing rubbish! What is your evidence!" shouted Rick Orfang.
Shin Jiao did not bother to talk and quickly showed him a few people sitting behind a metal table inside a room with white walls. These people began to divulge what they have done and how many people were infected.
From that video alone and the confession, plus the evidence gathered while the mages are currently implanting the bugs inside a person's brain was shown, one can deduce that the other party is already guilty.
"Since you guys think that you are above the law, then I will not judge you by your own laws…" Shin Jiao said with a smirk.
Then he waves his hand and a black katana appears.
He was annoyed when he saw the evidence and now he wanted to vent his frustrations a little bit. He was about to exit this place and return to the immortal land, but it seems that one problem after another came popping out non-stop.
The few mages floating in the air suddenly showed an angry expression. Some, however, felt a bit scared.
They have heard of the battle in the capital and how that dark and powerful energy was absorbed by this guy in front of them, the leader of the Mystique Shop group.
So how could they not feel afraid?
"He is alone! Let's finish him off!" shouted Rick Orfang.
He has suffered humiliation at the hands of this guy before. That was even when he was in collusion with Xin Xiaoyo who died in that battle. However, now that he has the number against that person, he knew that he could defeat him with ease.
Swish!!!
The figure of Shin Jiao vanished and appears next to a Grand Magus beside Rick Orfang.
Then they saw a head flew high up in the air and a headless body falling to the ground.
"That's one to down, and a few old men to go…" Shin Jiao said with a smirk.
"Get him!" Rick Orfang shouted as the rest of the Grand Magus in the area came rushing forth.
Shin Jiao fought with gusto as he began killing the Grand Magus of the Phoenix tower. The battle is not that easy and his armor almost gave up on him as he suffered a few cuts, burns, and bruises but still Shin Jiao ended up killing almost all of them.
The head of Rick Orfang came rolling to the ground when he tried to escape.
"Shin… Are you okay?" Axle Long who came rushing back after chasing after those who tried to escape, asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Shin Jiao said while panting heavily.
He quickly replaced the mana stone on his armor just in case something happens.
After the battle, the scourge and threat of the Phoenix tower were quelled in just one day.
Shin Jiao and his group immediately visited the Phoenix mage tower and began rummaging the things inside of it.
Soon Shin Jiao noticed the same trap door just like the one in the Great White Tower of Dugal. As he opens the trap door, he suddenly feels a sudden fluctuation in the air.
At that instant, he knew that someone seems to have used a planar gate.
As he and his group arrive in the underground chamber, he saw a group of captured immortals inside the cages.
"It seems that there are still others in this place… Take them out of here…" Shin Jiao said while pointing at the few cages with people inside.
After the group emptied the large chamber, Shin Jiao was left alone inside as he began checking the array formation on the ground.
Upon seeing the array formation, his expression suddenly changes.
"This… this is a complete formation array… I guess the tower of Phoenix is far more advanced than the other towers." Shin Jiao muttered while squatting on the ground and checking the engravings.
He then waves his hand and quickly arranges the eight formation plates that he created. When the formation plates were scattered on the ground in an arranged manner, they immediately began to resonate with the array on the ground.
Tsk… Tsk…
"Although it is complete, yet it is used too much essence, what a wastrel." Shin Jiao lamented as he began to write spells in the air and a strong barrier force was immediately erected.
Suddenly, the space rippled, and not long after, a mirror-like glow appears. The mirror-like image slowly changes and a picture of several people coming out of a portal could be seen.
Shin Jiao watches this scene and then tries to look around him. He did not know what place this portal opened but the immortal essence in the air is really too thick that he could keep this portal open even after half an hour has passed.
"This… I was cracking my mind on how to get such an immortal essence, and yet I accidentally stumbled to such a thing in this place… Haha…" Shin Jiao chuckled.
He did not waste any time and quickly stepped on the portal without thinking twice.
Shin Jiao felt his vision blurring out as he once again saw the opening of the dimension. And as usual, he was able to perceive what is inside the dimension with the use of his psychokinesis.
He dare not move though for fear of incurring the wrath of those dimensional beings hidden in the void.
As his figure appears on the other side. He could feel his body becoming stronger in an instant.
"Ahhh… I think it is time for me to remove this…" he thought as he takes off his armor.
With his armor removed, the strength of a lord's realm enveloped his body.
His spirit and absolute senses became unimpeded and were able to sense 100 meters around him.
With this, he was able to find those people who escape.
Shin Jiao did not chase after them as he has already seen what is waiting for the group ahead of them.
Meanwhile, he turns around and looks at the portal.. He began to busy himself in stabilizing the portal in his side.
