Chapter 797

(Unedited)



The carriage is currently traveling on the road but the people inside the carriage could not feel the terrain as the carriage just hovers above the ground. Shin Jiao has adjusted the basic configuration of the carriage to make it more stable when traveling on the rough road.

"Master Shin… do we really have to pass by that town?" Im Jae asked with worry in her eyes.

"Why? Do you know the way to the Land of Death?" Shin Jiao asked.

Im Ao and Im Jae lowered their heads and kept quiet. How could they know that way to the Land of Death when they were busy trying to survive all the way to the forest?

After they were rescued they did not have a chance to go out of the town only after Im Jae was betrothed to the Jings that the two escaped.

Hence they are not familiar with the path to the Land of Death.

Shin Jiao wanted to go there because he is very curious about the reason why the divine array did not work on the two. Plus he has a gut feeling that if he goes to the Land of Death he could gain something that would surely help him in his cultivation and strength. Though it is only a gut feeling, yet his gut feelings are always right.

Hence he would try to investigate things further. Plus the things in Ji Village are progressing nicely, and it would still take some time before he could implement the virtual world, that's why he has a lot of time to investigate things further.

Shin Jiao shifted his gaze to the silent beautiful woman on the side. In their travels and interaction, he has discovered why the woman is really going to the Land of Death.

Besides searching for her brother, deep inside her body, she is suppressing a strange sickness. Shin Jiao could not investigate further as he needed to touch her to further scan her body. In their travel, the woman is really careful and did not make any skin contact with any of them.

And so the group travels peacefully while the sibling would happily point to some beautiful scenery which Shin Jiao would record in his recording device. Im Jae's wounds are already healed and when her bandages were removed, a beautiful young woman with slightly pinkish skin was revealed under those bandages.

Im Jae is really a beauty according to the immortal land standard, and Shin Jiao now knew why someone from the Jing family wanted to marry her even though she has no status in the Xiao family.

Shin Jiao just admire her decisiveness and did not think about anything else except admiring the scenery around him.

He would even send images to Luna and Maga, and the two would grumble that it was unfair that he would get to travel around. But he knew that they are just saying those things. He is aware that the two are busy inside the virtual world and it seems that they have gotten closer to each other.

After two more days, the carriage has finally arrived on the outskirts of a town. The town is called Goamli Town, when the sibling heard the name of the town; they showed confusion in their eyes. It seems that they are not aware of the true name of the town.

Before they enter the town, Shin Jiao has already used an array to change the appearance of Im Ao and Im Jae.

They now look like common cultivators. In fact, the group decided to act like a small family with Shin Jiao as a father, Im Jae as a mother, and Im Ao as their son. Nariz Gumal did not want to join in their ruse and she just indifferently acted as the bodyguard of the group.

Their cover is that they are the family of a traveling merchant. Shin Jiao being the merchant and was even able to forge a merchant badge for himself from the Town of Gipard. This is because he is familiar with the merchant badge in that town.

When the town's guard heard that the group came all the way from the border town of Gipard, they showed astonishment in their eyes.

It is known that, although traveling via teleportation is fast, yet the further the distance, the more you have to pay for the teleportation cost. Hence seeing the Gipard Town merchant barge, the guards would not help but look at Shin Jiao and his group differently.

It's like looking at a rich fat cow.

As the carriage arrives in front of a luxurious-looking hotel, the four alighted and Shin Jiao hid the carriage inside his dimension, though he acted like he is using a spatial tool to fool the people around him. Since they are portraying a rich merchant, Shin Jiao would need to show his status by going to a hotel instead of a simple inn.

They settled in a cozy room which made Im Ao and Im Jae feel happy as they are finally able to rest on a soft bed.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and Nariz Gumal decided to plan out their next destination.

"So our next stop is the Land of Death, wherever that is…" Shin Jiao said while pointing at a floating map on the table.

Meanwhile, Nariz Gumal just nodded her head. She too is not familiar with where the place is, and right now she did not want to attract more attention, so she decided to go with what this young man is planning.

Ever since their travel, she has learned to trust the man and knew that in contrast to his weak power level, the young man in front of her is hiding many things which she is unable to fathom even with her power as a high lord.

"Sigh… It would be fine if I am able to show my real identity in this place. But I could not…" she said while looking at the window outside.

Shin Jiao somewhat understands that she is keeping something from them. As long as she is not hostile towards their group, then he is not worried.

"I will try and gather information tomorrow…" Shin Jiao said as he was about to wave his hand to dispel the 3D floating map but Nariz Gumal stopped him.

"Can I have this… map?" she said while looking at the 3D map curiously.

Shin Jiao just nodded, he is already familiar with her as she likes to have those novel things he would casually take out or create.



The next day…

Shin Jiao went to the merchant organization in the town and enter a large room. Inside that large room sat a silver-haired man looking at some doc.u.ments on his brown mahogany table.

"Chairman Xiao, we have the guess from Gipard town." The person assisting Shin Jiao said as he introduces Shin Jiao to the silver-haired man.

Upon hearing the introduction, the man sitting behind the desk lifted his head and looks at Shin Jiao. Then with a cordial smile, he stood up and walked in front of Shin Jiao.

"I'm Shin Jiao, a simple merchant from the town of Gipard…" Shin Jiao introduced.

"I'm Lord Ting Xiao, the Chairman of the Merchant Guild in Goamli…" Ting Xiao replied while he cupped his hands.

Shin Jiao seeing the greetings, followed suit.

"How may I help you… Mister Shin?" Ting Xiao said as he gestured for Shin Jiao to sit down.

Although the power level between them is a realm higher, Ting Xiao could tell that the young man in front of him is not that simple. Plus, Gipard Town is famous for its rising technological prowess and powerful artifacts. Hence he dare not neglect his manners and asked for Shin Jiao to sit.

"Thank you, Chairman Xiao… I'm just here to do some business." Shin Jiao replied.

The two began talking about artifacts and things that Shin Jiao's business can offer. After a while, Shin Jiao shifted the topic to something which made him show a curious expression.

"By the way, Chairman Xiao… before I reached this place, it has come to my knowledge that there is a place within this town's borders that's called the Land of Death… I'm just curious… what kind of place is that?" Shin Jiao asked after sipping some tea.

Hearing his words, the brow of Ting Xiao raised a little. He did not expect this merchant to be so brave as to know about that cursed place. Thinking of the wasteland within the town's territory, Ting Xiao could not help but frown.

For him, that piece of huge land was the bane of their town. It is the reason why people seldom visit the town especially merchants for fear of getting lost and accidentally entering that forbidden place.

He looks at Shin Jiao's curious beaming eyes and heaves a deep sigh.

"Sigh… I don't know what made you interested in that place Young Master Shin… but as an elder, I would advise you not to visit that place…" Ting Xiao said as he stood up and pointed to the map on the wall.

Seeing the place that the man is pointing, Shin Jiao showed an astonished expression. This is because the location of the land of death is somewhat… dangerous.
