Chapter 603

(Unedited)

…

The soldiers around him and those people coming and going in the tunnel all stopped to look at the amazing thing that's happening right in front of their eyes.

When Shin Jiao activated the armor and it immediately began to cover his whole body. Everyone around him has their eyes wide open. Although the armor uses a lot of his energy due to the environment, he still needed to use it at this time to protect himself.

Just to be able to take a glimpse of the quarry or the black and white stones and how they could be of use to him, he would not hesitate to do as such.

Shin Jiao always have a curious mind in all things. This is one of his attitudes that made him who is today. And this made him learn a lot of things. From his grandfather who raises him, he learned that knowledge is eternal. The more knowledge he gets the more he could improve, preserve, and enhance his life.

Ever since he started cultivating, he has already discovered that he could recall almost everything that he has learned from the past.

After being fully covered by the silver mechanized body armor, he and the group began descending through the cavern. The Li'angs around him now has a sense of worship in their eyes. They knew now why the queen had her eyes on this handsome human.

At that time, when they saw the metal covering the human body, they all wanted to prostrate themselves and worship him. However, they are unable to move and just stood in their place and look at the marvelous scene in front of their eyes.

"My… my lord… we… we are here." The female general said with a stammering voice.

Although she wanted to be close to this fabulous human male species, she didn't want to overstep her place. The young human in front of her might be a god of some sort; hence she was a bit afraid.

Shin Jiao saw a dark cave but the energy inside that cave is a bit suffocating. However, as he controlled the wavelength of the energy surrounding the armor, he is able to enter the place with ease. If it is a normal human or a cultivator, then they would surely lose consciousness in this place or even die.

As he walks in, he saw many working Li'ang miners chipping the rocks slowly. The sound of the rhythm of their pickaxes reverberates through the air.

From his vision, he can see the reading around him. It seems that the black stones even the cavern itself are slightly radioactive. As he goes deeper, he soon saw a large rock the size of a 2 story building lying in the middle.

When Shin Jiao shifted his gaze to the female general, she immediately showed a smile on her face, and then pointed towards another stone just like it.

"We do not touch those things, my lord. This is because in the past many have tried to touch those stones and died. So from then on, we dare not touch those large stones. We can only mine the smaller ones on the side." she explained.

Shin Jiao walked to the side and noticed that a row of 4 large stones with a considerable distance of around 50 meters from each other are lined up in his sight. He didn't know if there are more, but from his view, the four gigantic black stones seem to be floating from the ground.

"When you found these tones, is it already floating?" Shin Jiao curiously asked.

"Yes, my lord…" the general answered.

With a nod of his head, Shin Jiao became a bit curious and wanted to walk closer to observe. But his silver metallic arm was grasped by a soft hand.

"My Lord, it is dangerous. We… we do not cross that line over there. Many of us would get sick once we enter that line." She said while pointing to a depression on the ground.

Shin Jiao has already noticed it as was a bit curious. He can see that outside of that depression everything is looking rough and uneven, just like a normal cave. However, inside that depression, the ground is smooth and flat. And it formed a circ.u.mference of around 20 meters almost meeting the second circ.u.mference of the next stone behind it.

So instead of walking, he threw out a small stone towards that circle.

As the stone rolled and slowly enters that boundary, he saw the stone being bombarded by a large amount of chaotic Qi which this truly surprised him.

Without his suit, he would barely see the reaction. However, with the enhancement of the suit, he can clearly see what happened.

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback.

"Can I stay here for a moment? I wanted to check on something, you and your men can do whatever you want. I promise I will not cause trouble." Shin Jiao said to the female general.

With a nod of her head, she helplessly walked away and just leaves another female which knew the language of humans beside Shin Jiao.

…

Meanwhile, in a certain large palace with a bit of a distance from the city of Yun Hi, a certain man with a handsome and mature demeanor walks back and forth in front of a throne inlaid with gold and many precious stones. The man had an anxious expression and has just arrived in the palace.

This particular man is the sovereign of the kingdom of Yun, King Guxi Jing. He is a man in his 40's but still shows a fit body and a younger appearance just like a man in his 30's. The king is obsessed with taking medicine which can cause him to look younger.

The alchemist and doctors in the palace would toil really hard just to concoct potions and medicine to make the king looks younger.

This is because everyone knew of his obsession ever since he was young.

From the first time he took a glimpse of the queen of the Li'ang from the Under City colony, he became obsessed and almost made the kingdom suffer. And ever since then he would always make plans to conquer that city just to get his hands on that beauty.

From then on, he has taken a glimpse of her figure and saw that she is different from the rest of the Li'angs. She is truly an immortal queen of the Li'angs, and after all these years she has never aged not one bit.

Her glorious beauty is truly beyond compare, unlike those noblewomen in the palace which has now resulted in using make-up just to make them look prettier and younger. For him, his goddess Queen Klo is the best partner a king like him should have.

He has set up the war so that he could get a glimpse of her beauty even from afar. However, who would have known that even after doing everything he could and colluding with another queen and colony, he would still fail and even lose one of his most powerful generals.

He didn't know what had happened back then, but he was still a bit contented upon seeing that beauty even from afar. But he was not satisfied yet and he wanted more. So how could he be not worried and anxious?

"I… I think we should rush to the Under City and attack it now." he suddenly muttered.

"My king, we cannot. The Under City is a heavily fortified fortress. Although we can get those rare stones inside, we would be losing a lot of our troops. We cannot let that happen." A minister said on the side.

"Then… then what should we do? All of your plans have failed…" King Guxi Jing shouted while flicking his long robe.

"How about we just send a strike group and infiltrate the city? Then from there we could disable their defenses and let our army march in for the kill." a young minister suddenly said.

"We already did that before and it ended up in a failure."

"That was before… however, I just received a piece of news that the Under City would be taking in some wild Li'ang to quickly replenish their ranks… this would be our chance to strike, my king…"

Hearing the young minister's advice, the king's expression suddenly changes and gestured for the young minister to continue.

With the advice from that young minister, the kind has suddenly formed a plan on how he would proceed.

And soon a small group of soldiers rushes out of the palace in the middle of the night and then not long after they departed a large army marches out of the capital city.

That group arrives near the vicinity of the Under City and immediately donned in their disguise. For many years now that they have tried to infiltrate the Under City, they have learned many tricks on how to fool some of the guards.

But this time, the group has a way in. And that is through the next hidden village of the Li'angs where a few soldiers from the Under City are staying.

As the group enters, they noticed that a long line of Li'angs wearing sackcloth at already standing in line and is being carefully checked by the soldiers.

This particular group of infiltrators has a good grasp of the Li'ang language and can even communicate with those wild Li'angs. Hence they are able to carefully assimilate themselves with their fake tail as a disguise.

Some immediately line up with the group being recruited.

"Next!" shouted a Li'ang soldier.

And a tall burly Li'ang took a step forward. The soldier sized up the Li'ang and nodded his head in satisfaction.

"What is your name?" the soldier asked in the language of the Li'angs.

"…" the wild Li'ang did not answer and just look at the soldier in confusion.

This made the soldier smirked. And gesture for the other to take the burly Li'ang and made him enter the carriage.

"Next…"

Soon the soldier from the kingdom of Yun now stood in front of that same soldier as he was scrutinized by the Li'ang.

His heart was beating fast as he didn't know what would happen next. However, they have to successfully infiltrate the Under City as per the king's order, so he needs to do his best.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat when the Li'ang soldier suddenly frowns.
