The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1280

(Unedited)

…

Right at this moment, several guards began to enter the hall with weapons already drawn. They immediately surrounded Xin Ja while showing their killing intent towards him.

"Stop!" shouted Xin Han.

"All you disperse…" Xin Han shouted in anger.

But the guards did not follow his words which angered him thoroughly.

He then glared at the person walking through the door.

Xin Julong is showing a proud smile on his face. He has been waiting for the young man to make a mistake, and his mistake is the deliberate attack on the patriarch. If he did not get this chance to get rid of the brat, then he would be wasting this opportunity.

His son Xin Bin is very close to the patriarch of the Xin Clan. He has been the one who told the patriarch of the atrocities of that guy Xin Ja. And because of this, the patriarch was angered and decides to teach the kid a lesson.

And Xin Julong knew that if this happen, that kid would be provoked and this would happen.

They also knew that Xin Ja is not as simple as he looks.

He may be showing a 1st level Ki fighter aura, but his strength is not as weak as he looks.

And so his plan to eliminate another obstacle to him obtaining the patriarch seat began.

He would not use this brat to force Xin Han out of the clan just like what he did back then to Xin Jong.

"Patriarch, are you alright?" he suddenly said while entering the hall.

His expression suddenly turned into concern just as instant as he sneered.

"This…" the patriarch did not say anything and just looks behind him and noticed the large hole on the back.

Xin Bin suddenly runs out from his hiding spot and quickly approaches the patriarch.

"Grandfather… patriarch…" he said with a worried expression.

No one ever said anything at this moment, when Xin Ja smirked at the people around him.

"That was just a warning… If anyone made a move, I would not mind starting a massacre… On the battlefield, I did such a thing and the military could not even find me… How much more, only the Xin Clan… If you don't believe me, we can try…" Xin Ja threatened.

He did not want to actually do such a thing. But, calling him trash… this, and trash that made him feel infuriated. He is after all a young man who also has a short fuse every now and then.

"Enough! I have enough of this! We came here with a purpose. I brought Xin Ja here with good intentions. And now this is how you welcome someone you wanted to see!" Xin Han this time shouted as his aura enveloped the whole hall.

"You have been looking for youth from the Xin family that has potential, but now that he is in front of you, you would treat him like this? Are you really getting this old or you've been fooled by those around you?" Xin Han looks at the old patriarch.

"You Xin Bin, come here!" shouted Xin Han.

When his name was called, Xin Bin quickly stood beside the old man with clenched fists.

"I won't do anything… Try to fight Xin Ja hand to hand… Let's see if you can defeat him…" Xin Han said.

When the people in the hall heard this, their mouths quickly twitched as it was suicide for a 1st level to fight against a 6th level.

They all knew that Xin Ja would even be killed with one strike.

The expression of Xin Julong became elated as he looks at his son with a happy smile. That was their chance to humiliate the bastard and then beat him. Then they would have a chance to corner him and Xin Han.

Although his plan to implicate the young man did not work this time because of the challenge, that would still happen later.

However, no one could see the trembling fists of Xin Bin.

He did not know if Xin Ja is really strong, but from the battle in the military HQ, he knew that the guy is skilled.

"Go… teach him a lesson he could not forget." The patriarch said with a loving gaze.

But this gaze made Xin Bin shudder.

He reluctantly walks down and then walked toward Xin Ja. The guards surrounding Xin Ja has already retreated and then stood to the side.

As the two-faced, Xin Bin gritted his teeth and glared at his calm cousin standing before him.

"I don't know what tricks you used, but I will beat you, right here, right now!" Xin Bin shouted.

He suddenly rushes at Xin Ja baring his full strength.

When the people saw this, they all gasped with worry.

The old patriarch also felt worried. In fact, he has already acknowledged Xin Jong's ability and wanted him back in the family. It's just he could not accept the trash cultivation level of his son. This is what's making the old man feel conflicted in his heart.

Even the weapon used by Xin Ja has astounded him to such a degree, but he still stood by his opinion.

But now, it seems that he could only stop this if ever things become dangerous.

"As I have told you… Lesson… number… one…" Xin Ja calmly said.

This time, Xin Bin has already reached Xin Ja and his Ki-covered right fist has already brushed past Xin Ja's face.

Then Xin Ja's hand snaked on his wrist. With one touch, the Ki dissipate, then with a firm grip on Xin Bin's forearm, Xin Ja positioned himself below Xin Bin and then with one smooth motion do a shoulder throw slamming Xin Bin to the ground.

Bam! Crack!

Xin Bin looks at the ceiling of the hall with his mouth wide open. His body is inside a small crater created by the fall of his body to the ground.

Everyone was stunned at this scene and almost could not believe what they are seeing.

"The more powerful the force of the punch, the more powerful the force of the slam…" Xin Ja added.

"No! Son! How dare you!" Xin Julong suddenly shouted as he run to help Xin Bin who has already fainted.

Xin Ja looks at the people around him and then at Xin Julong. The handgun suddenly appears in his hand and then is pointed at Xin Julong.

Xin Julong's body quivered seeing the barrel of the gun and all his schemes seem to have flown away from his mind.

"Stop! Stop!" this time the old patriarch was woken from his stupor.

If he could not see the truth in front of his eyes, then he should just get off the patriarch's seat.

"I now acknowledge your strength… Perhaps my old views of this world, do not apply anymore in these times…" he said feeling a bit tired.

"I hope that you will not turn your back on your clan… After all, you are still a Xin." He said while slowly leaning on his seat.

Xin Ja nodded his head, then walks out of the hall followed by Xin Han who is showing a big smile on his face.

At the instant that Xin Ja exerted his force, the old patriarch saw it clearly. The force he exerted is not that of a 1st level Ki fighter… but that of a 1st level Ki Adept.

"That young man has hidden his strength really well…" the old man showed a glint of cunningness in his eyes.

Seeing another genius appearing in his clan, how could he not break his own rules?

…

"Little Ja… I know that you have been troubled by the situation in the clan… But I also hope that you can understand that having a clan is important… You will sometimes need the help of your clansmen." Xin Han patted Xin Ja's shoulder.

He nodded his head and then looks at the skies.

"Where are you going now?" Xin Han asked.

"I'll visit Rou Chenchen…" replied Xin Ja with a grin.

"Ohhh… Is that the girl that your father told me about… The one who was hailed as the genius who shared the formula for creating pills? Hahaha… You've already grown up… I can't believe that you are already thinking of getting married!…" Xin Han excitedly said exclaimed.

Upon hearing his uncle's words, Xin Ja showed an awkward expression. He did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

"Anyway, you have my blessing… Just be careful of the Rou family. If you needed my help I can convince them for you… Hehe…" Uncle, it's fine.

Xin Ja left the Xin Estate and hopped on a carriage and arrive at the Alchemy Association building.

He could already see many white-robed alchemists walking to and fro, and some of them are even running with many scrolls in hand.

As he walked, he could hear the people discussing alchemy and formulas which made them want to understand deeply.

An air of medical and academic atmosphere could be felt in the area as he strolls around.

Some people look at him and showed interest in their eyes.

Suddenly, a tall and beautiful young woman walked behind Xin Ja and then patted his shoulder.

When he turns around, Xin Ja was taken aback and showed a surprised look on his face. He did not expect to see the woman in this place.
