The Geared Immortal

Chapter 545 - The Demon Of The Dark Omen Valley (1)

Chapter 545

(Unedited)

Somewhere deep inside the Dark Omen Valley, a number of large rocks with thousands of character carvings stood in the middle of a 50 meters circular clearing. The rocks seem to have fallen on top of a figure with only an arm appearing above the ground.

Through time, the arm has already turned into a stone-like object. Its action is like the person that arm belongs to is trying to grab to dear life unwilling to give up its struggle.

Right now a black smoke is slowly rising from that arm and slowly forms a ghostly figure floating in the air.

"Keke… interesting… This young lad is very interesting. I want to meet him… I wish this old fool would send him towards my location. If I can awaken the black dragon inside that young man's body, then I might be able to regain my strength and power. I will once again rise up and regain my deity powers… Keke…" a ghastly voice said as that ghost-like figure with its large red eyes and black hole like mouth curved in a jovial smile.

Right now, in the eyes of the ghost, he is currently seeing what the old man is seeing.

And when he saw the figure of Shin Jiao that looks exactly like the person he accepted as a servant, he felt happy. This is because he can sense that this person is stronger and has a lot of secrets inside his body.

And what astounded the ghost figure is the black dragon sleeping inside that young man's body.

"That physique… if I can possess him then it is enough to hold my vast powers. Hehe… his exquisite physique would do… this is getting me riled up and excited… Hihihi… Come to me… my precious."

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao just listens to the old man's ramblings and didn't but in. He tried to carefully digest the things that he needed to remember. And as he listens he began to feel a bit of fear in his heart. He knows that the enemy he is going to face is very strong.

From the words of the old man, it seems that he is going to face a demon. Then from his memories, he remembers facing countless numbers of demons before in this land. And at that time, his cultivation level is not that high. However, he was still able to defeat such an opponent.

And this is because of the gears he had with him, his armors, guns, swords, and more. Right now, he already knows that even if he faces a being higher than a world nascent realm, he is still able to defeat them. But of course, that would be at the cost of everything he had, even his own life.

However, Shin Jiao is not that stupid to fight someone like that.

If the person staying inside the Dark Omen Valley is really that strong, then why is it not coming out? What is it afraid of? These questions are the key to defeating that demon.

Hence he listens carefully to the old man without blinking. He needed to get enough information to be able to assess the opponent that he is about to face.

And from what he has heard it seems that the other Shin Jiao has aligned himself to the darkness and his master is somewhere deep in the Dark Omen Valley.

"Young man, if you wanted to truly defeat your enemy, learn the skill that the old Blood Moon sect master has given you. It is your only way to survive your fight with that… that demon." The old man said after telling his tale to Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao wanted to listen more but, the old man stood up and wave his hand.

When he did that, a small gate opened.

"Enter this gate, and meditate for a couple of days, learn what you must learn and after I see that you are ready, I will send you deep in the Dark Omen Valley. To live or to die, would only be on you. I hope that you will not neglect this warning… Good Luck!" the old man said.

"Wait, old master… Can I know your name?" Shin Jiao asked.

"Haha… I already have forgotten my name. It was such a long time since I last heard it. You can just call me old Hermit as the others do." The old man said as he turns his back to Shin Jiao and suddenly disappear in thin air.

Shin Jiao was a bit astounded. This is because even after using his absolute sense, he is still unable to detect the presence of the old man.

"His speed could not be that fast, right? Or is it teleportation?" Shin Jiao muttered to himself.

He thought for a while but still decided to enter the tear in space which is in front of him.

"Sigh… here goes nothing. I hope that this would truly help me find Susan… I hope that she is not hurt." Shin Jiao said as he walked towards the portal as it closes.

After his figure vanished, a strong aura suddenly erupted in the middle of the Dark Omen Valley. Almost all of the beast and near that place felt the strong dark energy. This, in turn, caused chaos to erupt inside the valley and a huge tide of the poisonous beast began to rampage all around the place.

The disciples still gathering and hunting are also affected by that aura as they all flee towards the outer borders of the Dark Omen Valley.

"Damn it! Why is this happening? We still didn't finish our quest."

"What was that strong and oppressive aura? It's like… it's like an aura of a strong demonic beast."

"Damn it… we should get out of here. This is going to cause more trouble."

"Watch out! Everyone needs to escape now! There is a stampede! We should leave now!"

The students shouted as they scurry to leave the area. As long time disciples and hunters inside the dangerous forest, they dare not think twice and immediately ran as fast as they can.

"Hey, what about Si Ji? Is he still there?"

"Maybe… I think this was his first time entering the valley, right?"

"Yes, I suspect that he might be facing move danger."

"What should we do then?"

The five people, who treated Shin Jiao as part of their team, began to feel worried at his situation. They knew of the danger inside the valley, and that strong aura that suddenly erupted would cause those mindless beasts to run amok.

And they knew of the devastation and the danger this situation entails. Hence they are afraid of the young man.

However, they didn't have any choice as they themselves needed to also protect their lives.

And so the team with heavy heart ran towards the village.

Not long later a number of disciples are already at the village gate. Tension and horror can clearly be seen on their faces. This is because they knew that a beast tide is coming judging from the sound coming from deep within the valley and the trembling of the ground.

This has happened quite a few times before so they have already experienced it and are aware of what to do next. But from the way, they all acted it is clear that although they knew, they are still afraid.

Meanwhile, to the southern part of this area around 1,000 kilometers away from the mountainous border where the 12 sects reign supreme, a figure is currently sitting on a four-wheeled simple looking black wagon while traveling leisurely on the rough road. Inside the wagon lay a figure of a woman.

The woman seems unhurt and she is currently unconscious. However, her clothes are already in tatters with ripped pieces of cloth everywhere.

The person driving the wagon looks calm and collected under a hooded cloak. A smile crept on his handsome looking face.

"Hehe… It won't be long now, my love. It won't be long now… Hehe…" he muttered as he turns his gaze to the figure inside the carriage.

He has kept the person unconscious ever since they traveled using his abilities that have grown quite strong. He has hunted far too many beasts and has absorbed many of their essences making him grew stronger.

Suddenly, the young man's head began hurting. He felt a strange power invading his thoughts. And then an image appears inside his head.

When he felt this, the young man immediately knew who the one responsible for this kind of feeling is and fear can be seen in his eyes.

"Ma… Master… how… can he know where I am?… Arrgghh!!!" the man muttered but then suddenly cried in pain while holding his head.

The wagon suddenly stopped as the young man's figure tugged on the beast's reins. But he suddenly lost control of himself due to the pain in his head and fell down from the horse.

"Ughh… No… this cannot be. How can that demon of a master know where I am?" the man muttered while gritting his teeth.

Then as visions enter his head, he lost control of his body and fell down from his seat. However, this fall frightens the two Neighs pulling the wagon.

And unknown to the man the horses began to run uncontrollably. However, the man did not have time for this as his head turns blank while an image of a person talking to someone enter it.

When he saw that image, the man showed an angry scowl on his face. And as he rolls to the ground his hood was removed. The man looks exactly like the one in his mind. And now he is aware that the person he is running from is already on his trail.

Shin Jiao is wondering why his demon of a master showed him this image. But he would never be thankful. He and that woman already had a plan, and in their plan, both would benefit. She let him take the young woman who looks exactly like Qin Lou.

Although she is not her, he didn't care. All he knows is that he already has his price, and no one can stop him. Even Qian Li and her iron army could not stop him now.

Suddenly, from the corner of his eyes, as he tried to resist the pain he saw the horses run. But the direction is something he had never expected.. They are actually running towards a high cliff.
