Chapter 1118

(Unedited)

…

A few days ago…

A merchant caravan is passing through Ogden Town and got hold of the news about the sales of the so-called Mule, a mysterious inventory with 5 meters squared space. They have learned that those who were able to buy it… have proven its worth.

It is said that those small storage spaces are almost like those storage spaces that have been found in the ruins.

And because of this, the merchant caravan takes an extreme interest in where these Mules come from.

After using their influence in the town they soon discovered that it actually came from a simple household of a town's official. From their research, the town's official is not even that influential in the town. Hence they decided to make a move on that official's house and try to find out the source of the Mules.

They began to send people in the shadows to try and find the secret of Xin Jong. But who would have known that those they have sent has not come back? From this point on, they already knew that the enemy is not that simple.

After several attempts, they knew that their plan will not work.

And this is the reason why they now resorted to attacking the manor at night while they are acting like they were visitors of Xin Jong.

This merchant group has done this kind of thing multiple times already and whenever they make their move, they were able to cover their bases.

But who would have thought that this simple-looking household would have some hidden guards? The hidden guards were able to stop them on their tracks.

Plus a 12th level Ki Adept suddenly appears out of nowhere and the leader of the attacking force of the merchant caravan is immediately embroiled in a battle against that person.

And now the two parties are fighting each other as the heavily armored soldiers of the merchant group push their way in.

”We need to hasten and find out about how they were able to make the Mule! Push through their line and kill them all!” shouted one of the men.

The ground is already littered with dead maids and guards of the Xin's and more are falling as the heavily armored men push their way through.

Xin Ja who is seeing this felt his mind slowly darkening out. It's like the same thing that has happened to him before. He feels like it is happening again. It's like a never-ending calamity and trouble trying to worm its way to his life.

Was it because he decided to use his own name to enter the academy that this is happening? At first, he thought of using Xin Jiao as his name in the academy, but he change his mind at that time and decided to just go and use his own name. He thought that it doesn't matter.

But the thing that is happening right in front of him is making him feel that it was all his fault. Is it because of what he has done? Is this how people really are? They would do this thing just because of a small misunderstanding? He thought as his faith in everyone around him slowly died down in his heart.

His gaze turned sharp as he looks at the heavily armored men brandishing their weapons and swinging them to kill the maids who are running away from the fighting.

As he see this, a burning desire to kill began to envelop the young heart of Xin Ja as his dark past once again covered his aura with extreme killing intent.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He could hold it anymore and takes out his Ki buster. He began shooting those armored men. Although he is angry, yet his mind is calm as he targets the exposed parts of those people.

Xin Ja was very fast and though his shots are not that rapid, he could shoot at the rate of one bullet per second.

It did not take long before 50 Heavily Armored men died under his shots. This startled everyone who was fighting and shifted their gaze to where the thunderous sound came from. But that is not the end… Xin Ja would flash using his shadow steps and begin to weave through the battlefield.

And each explosion would result in the death of the enemy.

Soon… a single carriage could be seen escaping from the manor. No one followed them as they continue to rush away from that place.

”Damn it! What just happened?” a young man wearing expensive clothing asked his wounded guard who is sitting inside the carriage.

”They… they have an artifact that could easily kill anyone. It does not matter how strong we are… even one of our strongest at the 5th level died in on hit… This… this is not supposed to happen, young master… we… we should take our revenge!” cried the guard.

”Damn them! They killed my guards! I will not let them escape!” shouted the young man upon hearing the words of his guard.

”We should contact the headquarters… we should ask for reinforcement. I don't believe that a small town like this could stop us from the Silver Glade Merchant Company…” the young man added as he glared at the direction of the Xin Manor.
