The Geared Immortal

Chapter 684

(Unedited)

…

The City of Ta\'al is a big city with millions of people living in it. In this city, different people coming from different clans and different worlds are living inside of it. Ta\'al is one of the biggest cities of the human race in the immortal land.

Unlike villages and towns, cities in the immortal land are different. In here there are many lords, powerful High Lords, and a Saint ruler which protects and manages the city.

Every year, a city would hold a tournament which decides how the resources produced by the city would be distributed among the towns in its vicinity.

Vitol town is one of the hundreds of towns under the rule of Ta\'al city.

As the floating airship where Shin Jiao is in reaches the borders of the city, everyone inside the cabin runs to the deck and looks at the gigantic city on the horizon. Everyone can spot the many other airships coming from other towns approaching the tall hundred meters city walls.

While everyone is busy looking at the great scenery a particular person is below the ship busy writing something while tinkering with some object on a table.

In truth, Shin Jiao did not want to come to this place and attend this so-called contest. Ever since coming to this place, he prefers learning more and creating things as he prepares himself and this place for the people he loved back in the cultivation land.

But he has no choice as this was Lord Aiya\'s request and as a friend and a lord of a town, Shin Jiao did not have a choice but to follow her request.

While he is busy with his work, an airship slowly approaches on the side.

Standing stop that an airship is a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They look like an immortal couple as their white robe flutters in the air.

Behind them stood ten people, five are wearing green robes, and the other five are wearing red with black design robes.

As their airship drew closer, the eyes of Shin Jiao suddenly shifted towards the direction of the young woman standing beside the young man. And at the same time, the young woman also noticed the figure of Shin Jiao looking at her from the ship\'s cabin window.

When their eyes met, Shin Jiao\'s suddenly showed an astonished look on his face. This is because those two are actually not humans. They belong to a powerful race in another continent, the God race.

It is said that those that belong to the God race are born with a physique that is already almost in the perfect nascent realm. And these races only have four major clans and many subsidiary clans under them. The four major clans are the Zith\'ra clan, the Gigantus clan, the High Elven clan, and the Dragon clan.

The clans in the God race that would mingle with the humans are the High Elves and Zith\'ra clans. This is because they somewhat resemble humans.

The High Elven clan in particular likes to visit the human continent and join in the contest which is held in human cities every year. They would send their representatives and would join in the fun and festivity.

The beautiful elven woman looks at Shin Jiao with an icy expression on her face. But her expression change as she suddenly did something.

Shin Jiao could feel that something is flying towards him. He didn\'t know what it is but he immediately raised his defenses.

An invisible barrier of his psychokinesis suddenly envelops his body. Then he suddenly feels it. A slight pressure came in contact with that barrier and wanted to drill towards his head. But due to his vigilance, he was able to block it.

Shin Jiao did not waste energy and immediately cut off the connection of that thing to its owner.

Suddenly, the elven woman staggered a little. And the young man beside her caught her balance.

"Are you alright?" the young elven man beside her held her while asking with concern.

"My… My… Need…" before she could say anything, the elven woman lost consciousness.

Everyone on the ship was immediately in panic. They immediately carried the young woman inside the ship\'s cabin.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao on the other hand is now holding a thin thumb-size needle in his hand. The craftsmanship is exquisite and the material used is very strong. He judges it as such because it was able to penetrate the thick glass of the airship window which is very sturdy and strong.

Shin Jiao shifted his attention towards the needle. He has actually felt that something was suddenly cut off when he trapped that needle with his psychokinesis. He didn\'t notice what had happened to the woman as his attention was drawn by that needle.

As Shin Jiao scrutinizes the needle, he began to feel the fascination of its craftsmanship and the mysterious power it contains. And so he uses his crafting technique to try and separate its materials. However, for some unknown reason, he actually could not do anything to it.

Then he felt that the needle is giving out the same vibe he feels in a particular object. His eyes went to the pendant hanging on his neck. There the crystalized body of his wife is kept near to his heart. The needle felt like having the same material as the crystal on his necklace.

"Does this mean that his needle was crafted by a deity?" Shin Jiao muttered.

Before he could find his answer, the airship suddenly rocks a little and then stops moving.

"Did we arrive?" Shin Jiao muttered as he looks outside the window.

From the window, he saw the port and another ship with exquisite craftsmanship.

"That\'s the high elven airship, right?" Shin Jiao muttered then waved his hand to store the needle in his ring.

He didn\'t know that as soon as he did this, the young elven woman lying on a soft bed inside the high elven ship suddenly had her body jerked and began twitching.

But of course, this is of no concern to Shin Jiao as he already ran outside to the deck and saw the huge bustling city.

As he runs out of the cabin, he was greeted with the sight of many buildings and houses made of bricks and some unknown black and red materials. Then up in the air, thousands of flying ships and flying immortals are flying all over the place.

He could not help himself but look at everything in amazement.

"Humph! Country bumpkin." Suddenly Shin Jiao heard someone\'s voice behind him.

When he turns his head he saw the sneering face of a silver armored young man and the fox lady beside that young man. Then on the young man\'s side is another blue-haired young man grinning at him. As the passes beside Shin Jiao that young man said in a low voice.

"Gigolo…"

Shin Jiao just lifted one of his brows but did not mind those people. His eyes feasted upon the extraordinary scene in front of him. When the last servant was about to get off the ship, Shin Jiao followed behind her.

Their group enters an inn. As soon as Shin Jiao stepped inside the inn, he could suddenly hear some people arguing.

A slender white-robed young man and is currently arguing with Aiya Wine and the other two clan lords of Vitol town.

"What do you mean special arrangement? We booked those rooms first!" the voice of Aiya could be heard inside the inn.

Many people are already looking at this scene as it has already gained too much attention. The three clan lords of Vitol Town went ahead to book a room for the more than twenty people in their group. After payment, they were actually stopped by another group and the argument started there.

As Shin Jiao listens to the people around him, he learned that the other group was able to grab a top 10 spot in the last year\'s tournament.

And this is the reason why they are looking smug and thinks that even though they are late, it is fine to give them the rooms as they deserve it.

The argument became intense as Aiya Wine did not want to back down.

Suddenly a young person wearing a blue cultivator\'s robe interrupted them. When the people saw this person, everyone immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

Seeing the respectful gazes of everyone, the blue robe man looks at the two groups. He then waves his hand and took the keys of the room from Aiya\'s hand and gives them to the other group. The action of that man, made the expression of Aiya Wine turned ugly.

But she could not do anything. That person is more powerful than her and he is not wearing a white robe anymore. So she did not have a choice but to give in.

Then she grumpily walked beside Shin Jiao and began to murmur in a low voice.

"Humph… If only we could expose you, we could get the best room in this place…"

Shin Jiao just gave her a smile and then followed behind her as the group left the inn.

"Let\'s find another place to stay…" she said with a grumpy look.

However, who would have known that because of the arrival of the people from every town within the vicinity of the city, almost all of the inns are already full. But it seems that their luck is bad as no inn seem to welcome the group.

They didn\'t have any choice but to look for a cheaper option. And soon they found a small, barely passable, inn and were able to settle down.

After that, they began to go out and explore the city.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao on the other hand has already decided to explore. He is currently standing in a street and in front of him stood a tall young man. This is the same young man who has fought with him in the ship, Baihao Klein.

Right now, Baihao Klein who was supposed to be guarding the airship actually stopped him near a street alley with a sinister smile on his face.
