Chapter 905: A Way Out

(Unedited)

…

The trouble in the city was a bit quelled after the fall of the Great White Tower of Dugal. The mages have now seen that there is truly another power that is going to rise and this power seems to be aligning themselves amongst the commoners and the few nobles.

Plus they seem to have a great relationship with the Tower of Light and their Grand Magus Tong Liwen.

With the help of the carrier, the beast tide was flattened and the soldiers in the front lines were all surprised. But they weren't able to see how those beasts were driven out and how those colossal beasts fell.

All they saw are balls of fire falling down to the earth and hit those gigantic creatures and burn them to cinders. Everything happened so fast that they are unable to process what just happened. All except for a single person, the 12th Prince, Gulliver Astride.

He clearly saw from afar where those things came from. It was accidental as he was looking behind him while dodging a projectile at that time.

There he saw a flying piece of metal spewing those things.

He immediately has a suspicion where those things came from, as his eyes are glued to that flying metal box from afar.

…

2 days later…

Shin Jiao is currently helping with the clearing of the rubble that was the Great White Tower of Dugal. He did not know why but he just decided to help.

Using his psychokinesis, he easily cleared those large stones and saw many bodies inside the rubble. There are still some who were able to survive through sheer luck and were treated by the medic on the side.

A day before he did not help because he was busy handling the Viscount Manor's affair, so this is the only time he is free to help.

Though he caused this event, he is not sorry for it. These people initiated an attack on the city and at the same time provoke him, if they are not stopped then the city would suffer and that he could not let happen.

This city is a strategic point for his plan. Though he is doing all of this according to his whim as he really likes making things and seeing the lives of the people improve.

At this time, he suddenly discovers a trap door while lifting a large block of wall.

He scanned the trap door and began following the stairs leading deep underground.

Shin Jiao did not hesitate and began following the underground path while behind him followed Yemei Yin in her invisible form.

Not long later the two of them ended in a huge chamber with many prison cells everywhere. Inside the prison cell, he could see many decrepit-looking figures.

Shin Jiao scanned his surroundings and saw that there are almost 20 individuals that are inside this prison cell. Then around 5 mages are currently inside a room with a male strap on a table.

The male is already dead and his body is being dissected by those mages.

With a thought, Shin Jiao suddenly froze everything inside that room.

The two of them walk inside and Yemei Yin immediately frowns after seeing what is inside the large room. Shin Jiao was a bit surprised to see that the man actually has a universe's core on his lower abdomen. He has a dantian, but it seems that these mages could not see the empty dantian.

"No matter how you people try to discover how the immortals tick as long as you could not see what is in front of your eyes, then you cannot figure them out." Shin Jiao said.

He waves his hand and then in front of those five frozen mages' eyes, a small spherical ball appears on the corpse.

The ball is dark gray and seems empty.

"This is what you call a dantian or a universe's core…" Shin Jiao said while looking at Yemei Yin.

"This is the reason why those in the immortal land are called immortals… In this world there is also the same thing, right? I think you call it your mana pool." Shin Jiao said.

"Yes, it is where we mages and warriors get our power…" Yemei Yin replied.

"Good since you understood, that is fine. Kill these mages and burn everything in this room." Shin Jiao said.

The eyes of the five frozen mages turned into pleading as they did not want to die. They knew that something has happened above, as they are commanded to finish the experiment this time, they dare not neglect their duty.

But how could they expect to encounter such people today?

Shin Jiao walks out of the room and then looks at the hall. He suddenly discovers something on the ground.

What is inscribed on the ground is not just any normal pattern or decoration.

He began to study what the pattern is and began to contemplate. As he spread his sense outwards, he discovers something. The pattern is connected to three rooms. And inside that room, there are a few prison cells.

In the prison cells, there are people who look weak but are still able to move around about them.

Shin Jiao called Vilma Song and the rest who has nothing to do to enter the secret passage.

It did not take long before a few people appear inside.

"Free those people in the cell and gather them in here." Shin Jiao said when Vilma Song and the rest arrive.

He is currently squatting down and checking the pattern on the ground meticulously. The more he studies it the more baffled he felt.

He could not figure out why this combination seems familiar at the same time not. It's like they just randomly combined around 300 patterns and then mash them together into a huge mess.

Vilma Song suddenly approached him and said.

"Hey, Shin, everyone is gathered, what should we do with them?" she asked while showing an uncomfortable expression on her beautiful face.

When Shin Jiao looks at her, he showed a faint smile.

"Uncomfortable?" he teased.

"Che… Who would not be? The smell in here is a bit… nauseating." She grumbled.

"Have you noticed something about these people?" he asked.

"What do you mean? Of course, they are beggars and slaves… What else should I notice?" she answered with a hint of annoyance.

"Tsk, Tsk… You could not even see it? Did you know that these prisoners or slaves or something all came from the immortal land?" Shin Jiao said with a smirk.

When Vilma Song and the others heard this they all showed a surprised expression on their faces.

She turns her gaze and looks at those people wearing tattered clothing and her expression slowly changed. She is already aware of the condition and the truth about this kingdom. But she still could not help but lament the experience of the people in this place.

They seem to have been tortured tormented and was stripped of their basic rights. It was a rather hard thing to imagine.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, walk in front and now saw that there are actually more than 50 people in this whole place.

He looks at those who seem to be still strong and then pointed at a person.

"I am Shin Jiao and I came from the immortal land. I would like to ask you something…" he said while gesturing for that person to stand up.

"I… I am Fan Muxing… I came from the Long Clan in Banxing City…" he replied with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Those who heard Shin Jiao's words also showed a hint of life in their eyes as they slowly lifted their gazes.

They have been subjected to torture and all kinds of experiments ever since they accidentally fell in this place. They've been sold to slavery, stripped of their basic rights as a person, and became properties of these people called 'mages'.

But seeing that someone from the immortal land actually came for them, everyone in this place felt happy and full of hope.

Many of the women in the group began crying and also some of the men.

It seems that they felt that hope has come for them.

Shin Jiao could not help but feel pity towards these people. Although he is a ruthless person, he still pities those who are oppressed by others.

He waves his hand to stop them from clamoring.

"I will help you, but first things first… What is this place? And what is the purpose of this room…" he asked while looking at the group.

When they heard that, they all showed a hint of hesitation in their eyes. They did not know what is the purpose why they are being asked by this person about this? But this room is something that has given them nightmares for many years.

But if they did not answer, then they might not be able to escape.

With hesitation one of the thing young women in the group stood up.

"This… this is a portal.. A portal to the… immortal land."
