Free Web NovelChapter 1885: Chapter 1885: Get In There, Now
"No longer necessary? Heh, as you wish."
Xiao Yi casually put away his Ghost Mask, speaking softly.
Senior Luoo didn’t care; instead, he watched Xiao Xun’s movements as he stored the mask, his eyes somewhat flickering.
The gaze that had been fixed on Xiao Yi had already been withdrawn.
Senior Luoo no longer met Xiao Yi’s eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi sneered inwardly, finally feeling relieved.
He knew he had narrowly escaped this ordeal. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Deliberately not wearing the mask, putting away the Ghost Mask, was naturally to prevent Senior Luoo from discovering any flaws.
If he hadn’t guessed wrong, just now Senior Luoo’s thoughts were entirely focused on perceiving him.
Thus, he hadn’t closely examined the Ghost Mask.
After all, although the Ghost Mask clearly has the effect of concealing one’s aura, such holy artifacts, while not numerous, aren’t exactly rare either.
Some are ranked as High Grade Holy Artifacts, with astonishing effects.
And naturally, Senior Luoo wasn’t much interested in Xiao Xun’s treasures, so he didn’t examine them closely.
But with Senior Luoo’s abilities, given a little more time, he would surely discover the flaws.
Thus, Xiao Yi discreetly put away the Ghost Mask, assuming an attitude as if challenging.
Additionally, although his appearance changed drastically, leaving no aura.
However, in his Universe Ring, there are indeed some items that could prove his identity as Xiao Yi.
For example, several Main Hall Tokens.
Once Senior Luoo investigates, everything would be exposed beyond doubt.
So he intentionally did it again.
He certainly didn’t dare to let Senior Luoo really investigate.
He was just taking a gamble, but he was confident.
And the most important point.
The true way to identify a Martial Artist’s identity is by aura; this is common martial knowledge.
Thus, even a crafty old fox like Senior Luoo instinctively denied his suspicion, not believing him to be Xiao Yi anymore.
Although Senior Luoo might take further actions, such thoughts wouldn’t be as intense as before.
Xiao Yi’s deliberate actions at this time instead diminished Senior Luoo’s suspicion.
"Give me a reason," Senior Luoo softly asked at this moment.
Indeed, Xiao Yi thought inwardly.
He had long known that someone as cautious as Senior Luoo would still use conversation to confirm everything.
Senior Luoo didn’t explicitly state what reason he needed.
But for true smart people, they could understand at once.
What he wanted was the reason for Xiao Xun’s initial panic and lies.
Xiao Yi, already expecting this, naturally had countermeasures.
"Should I call you Master of the Main Hall, or Dean Luoo of Black Cloud Academy?"
"If I remember correctly, Dean Luoo of Black Cloud Academy doesn’t have a good reputation."
"Such deeds as seizing others’ treasures and stealing opportunities aren’t few."
Xiao Yi’s tone carried sarcasm.
The incident of his Sword Emperor Origin being taken was already spread throughout the Central Region by Elder Yun Yuan and others who sought justice.
Naturally, Xiao Xun’s identity was aware of this matter too.
"Heh, I can say there are quite a few treasures on me."
"Would the Master of the Main Hall like to take a look and see which might tempt you?"
"If you want to seize, or rather, if you want to take." Xiao Yi changed ’seize’ to ’take,’ the sarcasm evident.
"If you want to take, be my guest."
"After all, the Master of the Main Hall is always domineering, saying to remove someone’s mask means removing someone’s mask, saying to take someone’s Black Robe means taking someone’s Black Robe."
"I can’t resist either."
"You..." Hearing this, Senior Luoo showed anger for the first time.
But he couldn’t act out either.
"Huff." Senior Luoo actually took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger.
"Alright, I’ll accept this reason."
After saying that, Senior Luoo didn’t spare Xiao Yi another glance but rather bypassed Xiao Yi’s figure.
"Xiao Xun, do you know the reason I summoned you?"
Xiao Yi remained silent.
Senior Luoo spoke directly, even emphasizing his tone, "In just one month, you’ve killed several Main Hall Masters of my Black Demon Hall, even slaying Jingzhe Sword, who was nearly a Supreme Sword Cultivator Main Hall Master."
"Including the Hall Master and Sub Hall Master from the Heavenly Mechanism Hall and Soul Hall, among others, there have been countless deaths and injuries."
"Hmm, you really are capable." Senior Luoo said coldly.
"Your fame spread so rapidly, directly alerting the Main Hall, forcing me to send Bai Changtian to capture you."
"Heh." Xiao Yi’s raspy tone continued with sarcasm.
"Oh, really? I rather think the Master of the Main Hall captured me just to humiliate me, to ridicule me..."
"Enough." Bai Changtian warned sternly from not far away, "Kid, don’t take it too far, know when to stop."
He said this seriously, but it was clear that a hint of a smile flashed across Bai Changtian’s face.
Xiao Yi stopped his speech but didn’t say anything further.
He didn’t even answer Senior Luoo’s previous question.
"Hmm." Senior Luoo merely snorted, no longer asking, no longer entangled in the matter of Xiao Xun killing multiple Main Hall Masters.
Xiao Yi stayed silent, but his heart was finally completely relieved.
He knew the game with Senior Luoo was won by him.
It was all over now.
Senior Luoo, the old fox, was indeed formidable.
Thankfully, Xiao Yi was accustomed to dealing with such old foxes.
However, without a doubt, Senior Luoo was the most difficult and formidable old timer Xiao Yi had ever encountered.
Because Senior Luoo was more domineering than anyone.
In a disagreement, he would directly act.
In this aspect, no matter how eloquent Xiao Yi was, he was powerless.
This game was won by Xiao Yi mainly because he had previously interacted with Senior Luoo, knowing his temperament well.
He used to hold deep respect for this enigmatic senior at Black Cloud Academy.
But later, he truly witnessed Senior Luoo’s selfish side and his ugly face.
The two extremes, Xiao Yi saw through them thoroughly.
Thus, his psychological game today was so confident. In every calculated step, he turned the tables and gained a chance to escape disaster.
"Follow me." After a while, Senior Luoo broke the silence first.
"Kid, keep up." Bai Changtian glanced at the motionless Xiao Yi and directly chided.
Xiao Yi nodded.
The three left the Main Hall room.
Not long after, under Senior Luoo’s lead, Xiao Yi arrived at the depths of the Main Hall.
Senior Luoo casually cast a handprint.
Up ahead, a space entrance appeared out of thin air.
"Go in." Senior Luoo only said two words.
"Inside is?" Xiao Yi frowned.
"Is it some dragon’s lair or tiger’s den, a confined prison..."
In truth, although he spoke these words, Xiao Yi knew in his heart that it wasn’t so. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Inside should be a Cultivation Secret Realm.
He had heard of how many treasures Senior Luoo possessed...
Thinking this, Xiao Yi suddenly heard a sentence seemingly suppressed with anger.
"Get in there for me."
Before Xiao Yi could react, he felt a pain in his back, having been slapped into the space entrance and disappeared.
"Huff, this kid..." Senior Luoo took a deep breath.
Beside him, Bai Changtian snickered, "I’d forgotten how many millennia it’s been since Master couldn’t hold back his anger like this."
"Hmm?" Senior Luoo stared at Bai Changtian.
Bai Changtian quickly withdrew his gaze, raised his wine jug, drank deeply, pretending not to notice the stare.
...
Third update.
Today’s updates, done.
