Chapter 765: Abduction

…

The Town of Gipard

The once-bustling town seems to have turned into a ghost town as curfews and the martial law-like rule is being implemented everywhere.

The townsfolks were mostly cooped up inside their own houses while many silver and gold armored soldiers are patrolling the city. Meanwhile, there are some houses that have suffered abuse from the soldiers in the pretense of suspected harboring of the fugitive Master Si Ji and his group.

Although its looks like the law are being implemented, yet the truth is that the soldiers are being too ruthless and unlawful.

When Shin Jiao came out from the underground facility and appear in the underground entrance in the now ruined Mystique shop, he could feel the presence of some soldiers standing on guard outside of the shop. As he cautiously walks out, he saw the situation inside the shop which made him shake his head.

Everything was in ruin and the building itself was almost razed to the ground. Luckily for them, the underground entrance is already covered with an array. But he could still see traces of blade aura which seem to be the cause of the devastation.

While looking around, Shin Jiao stealthily jumps to the roof from one of the holes. He then carefully looks around while assessing the situation with his psychokinesis.

He can already see around 10 soldiers standing around the shop. The nearby buildings are also being occupied by many soldiers.

After scouting his surroundings, Shin Jiao determines the direction of the house of Raon Li which was given to him by Eva Jung.

His figure flashes out of the shadows of the night and soon arrives in a simple-looking house.

As soon as he enters the house, he immediately spotted three soldiers which have forced their way inside. Shin Jiao could see that there is something wrong with these soldiers.

In the immortal land, it is seldom to see people with evil intentions towards others as most people's focus is only on cultivation. Even those young masters from the clans would not show such evil intent towards others except when they are provoked or if being tempted to do so.

However, right now, he is seeing something different. These soldiers seem to have lost their minds.

A beautiful woman is currently being dragged by a gold armored soldier, while the other two are holding a man as they forced him to watch his wife about to get raped.

Shin Jiao's expression turned serious and did not hesitate to take out a handgun. He then carefully attached a silencer to the tip of the gun barrel. He knew that it would not be enough to completely silence the gun, but it would make the gun produce a muffled sound instead of the loud bang.

Rippp!!!

The sound of clothes being torn coming from inside the house along with the crying and begging of the woman made him frown. The man being held by the two is also shouting while begging them to stop.

However, it seems that these people did not hear their pleading as they continue to laugh maniacally.

Right at this moment, Shin Jiao noticed black mists coming from those soldiers' bodies. He then realized what seems to be happening.

These soldiers might not be possessed, or being controlled, but instead, their minds are being tempted to do these atrocious sins.

Seeing this, Shin Jiao immediately lifted the handgun, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger in a successive manner.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Three bullets flew towards the house. The first one immediately enters the head of the soldier who is about to remove his pants to do his evil deed making his blood and brain matters splattering all over the place.

His body suddenly slanted to the side and fell to the ground with his eyes showing disbelief in them.

The other two were laughing maniacally but then suddenly stopped as they also suddenly fell lifelessly down to the ground with a hole in their heads.

Shin Jiao's figure suddenly appears inside the house which made the couple show surprise and shock on their faces.

"I have no time to explain. Who is your child?" Shin Jiao asked with a serious expression on his face.

The two who were a bit taken aback showed reluctance, but then the woman suddenly turn and gathered her clothes as she seems to have noticed that she is almost naked. Then after covering herself she replied with a shaking voice she said.

"Ra… Raon… Raon Li."

When Shin Jiao heard her words, he suddenly takes out a talisman, and then with a wave of his hand, the talisman suddenly formed a golden circle on the ground.

Suddenly three eerie shrieks were heard and three black mist came out of the body of the lifeless soldiers.

He then threw two wooden plates at the couple.

"Tap it and you will see your daughter, Raon Li…" he said.

Hearing Shin Jiao's words, the two suddenly showed excitement in their eyes. They did not expect that their daughter would really be safe.

Ever since this whole fiasco began the two were already afraid because they knew that their daughter has started working in the famous Mystique shop. When they heard that it was attacked, they were immediately worried. But what can they do?

They are just powerless servants. Their daughter was able to reach level 69 and is about to break through to the silver protector level; hence they are just happy that she got such a nice and promising job a few days ago. But who would have known that those few days of happiness are short-lived?

But now that they have a chance to see her again the two were really happy.

"Thank you, great master… thank you…" the two bowed continuously while saying their thanks.

"Alright, just go now... I don't have much time." Shin Jiao said as he could hear some footsteps from afar coming their way.

When Shin Jiao was about to leave, the woman suddenly said.

"Great master… Since you save us, we are really thankful. But there are others who were taken by the soldiers… One of them is our neighbor's daughter. I didn't know where they were taken, but I heard that most of those people that were abducted were the ones working in the city hall. Please save them, great master…" she said with a pleading tone.

She wanted to add more words, but her husband patted her shoulder.

"We have to go… Don't add burden to the great master…"

Shin Jiao looks at the woman and nodded his head.

"I will try my best to help if I can…" he said and then left the house.

The two also did not hesitate to tap on the wooden plate as their figures turn into dust.

Not long after the three left, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed inside the house. When they saw the three soldiers lifelessly lying on the ground, their expressions turned ugly.

"They must have not gone too far, search the vicinity!" shouted one of them which seem to look like their leader.

One of them carefully checked the bodies and the sand on the ground. That soldier showed a confused expression and frowned.

"Leader, these three… they have already lost their shadow essence… And I think these clump of sands are the same thing that was seen in the shop."

"Those tricky rats! I will catch them! No, we must catch them, or else the masters would not be happy." The leader of the group of soldiers said.

Meanwhile, just above the roof of the house, a shadow is crouching stealthily while observing the soldiers. Shin Jiao could tell that these soldiers also have dark auras combined with their own.

"Shadow essence, eh... Are these soldiers being possessed or something? But, how could traces of shadow energy enter the immortal land?" Shin Jiao thought while observing the soldiers below him.

His eyes landed on the leader of the group and decided to follow him. He needs to know what happened to those people from the city hall, and how the shadow beings were able to enter the Osmond clan. He could tell that this situation is not that simple. It seems that the shadow beings and the demons are making their move.

If his conjecture is true, then there would be big changes that would happen in the immortal land. Those who are once incorruptible immortals would be then corruptible, and those who would lower their guards to the enticing of the shadows and the demons would surely fall to depravity and be captivated by the enemy.

If this happens, then the immortal land would lose its blessings from the deities and be turned into a normal world, and Shin Jiao could not let that happen. The immortal land is a good place to train and improve. His people would be able to grow further in this place as long as it is not abandoned by the deities and turn into a normal world.

As he followed the soldiers in the shadows he soon arrived in the middle of the town.

As he scanned the surroundings, he could tell that there are at least 500 soldiers stationed in this castle. And almost all of them have traces of dark energy or shadow essence in their bodies.

Shin Jiao could not help but feel worried about those who were captured by these soldiers. But he also knew that he alone could not fight them all.

Although he could skip levels to battle others, he is not that strong to face against that many cultivators.

However, Shin Jiao is confident with his infiltration skill and stealth ability. Hence he decided to enter the castle-like edifice in the middle of the town.

As soon as he enters the castle, he immediately saw the array formation protecting its grounds.

Upon seeing that, Shin Jiao frowns.

This is because the array is a trapping array.. One can get in easily, but going out is the problem.
