Chapter 679: Captured?

(Unedited)

…

Darkness everywhere and even the light from their lamps could not penetrate. The only thing they could see in the place one foot in front of them. As a number of people enter the cave, the eyes of the person hiding within the darkness showed a trace of mulling over his decisions.

Shin Jiao recognized a few people who have entered the cave, the spear-wielding young man who attacked him, the one with the hound, and the one wearing a white gown. Those are just a few that he recognized.

As he looks around and the number of people who have entered the place, he knew that it would be futile to resist. Although he has his gears he knew that the young man in white is not that simple. He could feel a dangerous vibe on that guy.

So he carefully planned everything in his head. And decided on a course of action, and that is to be captured.

Either way, he is already aware that he is a wanted person. If he was resurrected in the village, he reads that his body would be weak at first. If there are protectors in that place, then he would be caught unprepared. However, if he is captured in this place, then he could prepare his counter attack. This way he would not be at a disadvantage.

And so, he slowly controlled his aura. And then lie down on the ground pretending to be unconscious.

He didn't know what is happening as he has already forced himself to fall asleep.

As the people inside the cave checked everything that they saw is just an orb in the middle and some stone pillars. They are unable to determine the cause of why the light could not penetrate inside the room.

But then, they saw a person lying on the ground unconscious.

When Ian Gi saw that figure, his eyes were burning in rage, he wanted to go and try to kick that peasant to death. However, before he could move, that figure began floating towards that person.

Jinga Vin carefully controlled the body of the unconscious young man as it floated towards him. Using his domain he checked the condition of Shin Jiao and found out that he was in deep sleep.

He didn't know what is happening, but his suspicion is towards those pillars. They seem to emit some traces of darkness that could make those with lower realms faint inside the cave. Arriving in this conjecture, he led the group outside.

"Seal this room…" Jinga Vin commanded.

The entrance to the immortal cave is not cleared because of him. On this trip, he actually gained something. It is a complex concealment and reality alteration array formation. It was a very good defensive formation that could confuse his enemies.

Plus the weird dark cave, if he could unravel its secret, that darkness would also be a good defensive setup for his future plans.

As the group left the immortal cave and hopped on a white carriage that is being pulled by unicorns. Inside the carriage, Jinga Vin focuses his gaze on the young peasant and tries to look inside of the young man's body to check his power.

"He is still a peasant… though his physique has reached the passable level to enter this world he has no energy inside his body… I guess this is the reason why he relies on alchemy and those strange weapons. Hmm… Where are his weapons though?" he suddenly thought.

But he sighs helplessly as the dark cave is very wide and dark that they dare not investigate it yet. His purpose this time is this young peasant. He wanted to get the alchemy secret from him.

As time went by they soon arrive at an intersection between the town and the Peasant village. However, in that intersection, a tall and beautiful figure is standing along with a group of silver and golden armored people behind her. And beside her are also a few white-gowned people along with their troops.

"My lord, it seems that the clan lords from the town have come to… greet us." a silver armored young woman driving the carriage warned Jinga Vin who is inside checking Shin Jiao's condition.

Upon hearing her words, Jinga Vin almost cursed at those people's fast reaction. However, he is confident that they did not figure out the immortal cave. They only knew that he found this young peasant.

Jinga Vin alighted the carriage and smile towards the rest of the clan lords in front of him.

"It seems that everyone is interested in this guy." Jinga Vin said with a smile.

"I am not going to deny it… However, I am just here to make sure that you do not play your tricks on that young immortal. You have already broken many peasants before and I do not want to see any more of those. We have tolerated your actions before, but that young lad holds many skills that are essential for the grown of the clans. Hence we are here to make sure that you treated him fairly." Aiya Wine said with righteousness in her aura.

Everyone who heard her showed a faint smile on their faces. Well, it was not a bad reason for them to interfere with this matter. They also heard of this young peasant's endeavor and they are all amazed. When they were at his stage, they just helplessly waited and lived a dull life. But this young man was able to even go out of the village without fear and was able to fight and harvest energy cores.

Plus the most fascinating thing about this young fellow is his knowledge of plants. No one tried to do such a thing before. This is because they deemed it unnecessary. Except for those high-level alchemists in the main cities who knew a lot of plants, in the town, this is not their focus.

Who would waste their time doing that? Instead, they focus more on absorbing and strengthening their powers.

But right now, they have a chance. They might have possibly found a low-level alchemist. If they groom this guy and make him stronger, and teach alchemy to some of their subordinates, their strength in this place would skyrocket. That is the goal of the clan lord in the town.

But Jinga Vin has other plans so he didn't want to go with the group of lords. However, at this time he could not deny the fact that he is outnumbered and overpowered, so all he could do now is to let the others interact with that peasant.

A huge number of people march forth towards the town.

…

Ugh…

The young man opens his eyes with a trace of dizziness in them and unsteadiness in his actions. He then showed a surprised expression on his face upon seeing the people surrounding him.

Right now he is lying in a soft bed inside a simple but strange room. Strange, because, Shin Jiao could see the flow of energy in white strips that could be seen in the room.

"You're awake… that's good. I thought you're going to sleep more… Hihi." A playful voice suddenly interrupted the young man's thought.

When his gaze shifted to that beautiful woman, his eyes squinted.

This is because when he saw the white cloth man beside her, anger was immediately shown in his eyes.

Jinga Vin and the rest already expected this, so they just showed a faint smile on their faces.

"Young lad… we are the clan lords of the Vitol town. Do not be alarmed, there was a slight misunderstanding between you and the Vin clan. But rest assured that we won't let that happened again." A deep voice said coming from a man with a bulky body.

He is like a Greek god from the myths. With curly flowing golden hair reaching up to his shoulder and a golden beard, the man looks old, but Shin Jiao could see that he would actually look like in his twenties if not for the golden beard.

"What is your name?" asked a white robes woman with beautiful red hair.

"I… I am Shin Jiao." Shin Jiao said his real name.

This is because, for some mysterious reason, he learned that no matter what he said his true name would be said in their perception. Hence he didn't want to spend trouble lying and making up stuff. He has already reached this part anyway.

When the group heard his name, they all turned towards a short man with a long white beard and white hair. Shin Jiao also saw the man but felt weird because he is clearly not an old man but a young man.

Seeing his reaction, the young man smiled.

"Hehe… I know what you are thinking. I just missed by beard back home in… our world." he said with a wink.

"I am Jian Jo Long of the Long clan. I can sense that you and I came from the same world. On behalf of the Long clan, I welcome you to the immortal land…"

But before he could continue everybody showed a frown on their faces.

"Lord Jian, please…"

"Don't be shameless, old man…"

The others suddenly reacted and stopped him. This made Jian Jo Long showed a sheepish smile on his face. But he didn't continue and just gave Shin Jiao a wink.

"Alright, we should proceed to the meeting room for questioning this fine young immortal." Aiye Wine lifted her hand to stop everyone and suggested.

Soon the group of people walked towards a large room with a large stone table in the middle. At this time, Shin Jiao knew that he would be encountering a troublesome matter. But he is already prepared for this. He just did not expect that the lords of the town have different opinions.

Plus it looks like they are trying to please him by gaining his trust and confidence towards their own clans.

As Shin Jiao observes the situation in front of him he showed a faint smile on his face.

"Well, I hope that my plans would succeed. If not, then I would end up playing in their hands." Then he shifted his gaze towards the people inside the room.

And his gaze stopped on a young woman and a tall young man who are both smiling at him. For some unknown reason, Shin Jiao feels that those smiles seem very familiar to him. And he could feel no malicious intent on the two, so he feels that those would be a good choice amongst the people around him.

But of course, he still has to listen as to what these people needed from him before he could decide what to do next. But overall everything seems to be in his control. So he smile and thought.

"Hmm… Maybe it's not that bad after all…"
