Chapter 1387: Chapter 877: Strange Object
This sudden turn of events gave Yang Xiao a heavy blow, and the face of the young Sect Master had become the second nightmare after his good sister.
However, after just a moment of hesitation, the next second, as Yang Xiao retreated, a Green Light Cage descended, instantly enveloping the young Sect Master within it.
Under the ghostly glow, the face and body of the "young Sect Master" quickly melted and twisted, revealing its true form before long.
Yang Xiao’s judgment was correct; this was not the Sect Master, who was miles away. This was a ghost!
Moreover, it was a Faceless Ghost, with no facial features, just a blank face skin!
Once the disguise was seen through, the Faceless Ghost’s body gradually became phantom-like and transparent. Finally, with a "thud," a face skin dropped to the ground.
At the same time, the surrounding black substance swiftly retreated, revealing the original appearance of the room; it was just a relatively spacious large room.
He looked down, and the eerie target beneath Yang Xiao’s feet was also gone, and that strange feeling of being secretly watched disappeared completely. Only then did Yang Xiao finally breathe a sigh of relief; he knew the ghost was gone.
And the face skin on the ground was the culprit that caused all this; it was a Resentful Eye.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Xiao took out his special gloves, picked up the face skin after putting them on, and sure enough, there were no holes or gaps on it; it was just an empty face skin.
He put down his backpack, took out a special silver metallic box from it, and sealed the face skin inside.
Only after doing all this did Yang Xiao completely relax, but soon he felt as if he’d forgotten something.
"Damn!" Yang Xiao suddenly remembered, "Where’s Lu Youdao?!"
He immediately left the room, only to find Lu Youdao lying in the corridor on his side.
"Mr. Lu! Coach Lu!"
Yang Xiao quickly ran over and propped him up, luckily the man was still breathing.
After a quick check, Lu Youdao didn’t have any external injuries; he seemed to have just passed out.
Yang Xiao pinched his philtrum hard, and Lu Youdao had some reaction but still didn’t wake up.
Seeing this, Yang Xiao decided to use a stronger measure. He rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a high-powered stun baton. Back in the day, the Bone Burning Taoist was taken down by Yang Xiao with a sneak attack from this very baton.
He flipped the switch, and seeing the blue-purple arc of light erupt from the tip of the baton, Yang Xiao muttered an apology and directly jabbed the stun baton to Lu Youdao’s buttocks.
The effect was immediate. Lu Youdao, who had been lying on the ground unconscious, suddenly stood up straight, like someone coming back from the dead.
After Lu Youdao settled down, Yang Xiao helped him to sit on one side. There was a small wooden stool in the corridor, and he ordered the Mirror Ghost to bring two bottles of mineral water from the Mirror Secret Room, one cold bottle for himself to drink, and the other he poured over Lu Youdao’s head to wake him up.
Soon, doused with cold water, Lu Youdao fully woke up. First, he saw the empty room in the distance, then listened to Yang Xiao’s account, and he understood everything.
"You took that thing." Lu Youdao said feebly.
"Yes, here it is." Yang Xiao took out the box. He had no intention of keeping it; he just didn’t want to cause more trouble.
But Lu Youdao was not prepared to take it. He raised his hand and slowly pushed the box back to Yang Xiao, sighing, "Keep it. This ghost has already been trying to understand you; perhaps no ’person’ in this world knows you better than it does."
"I’m a cripple. Xiang Fengchen is dead, and Nalan Shuo doesn’t need it anymore. You need it more than we do." Lu Youdao also knew that Yang Xiao was about to leave Rongcheng and take a job at the Provincial Office.
Once he left, it would probably be difficult for him to come back often, and leaving it here would be a waste.
Knowing it was for his own good, Yang Xiao thanked him and accepted it, then instructed the Mirror Ghost to return to the Mirror Secret Room and fetch another bottle of cold water for Lu Youdao to drink; Yang Xiao believed he deserved it.
"You’re quite something, kid, being able to manipulate this ghost to do your bidding." Seeing the Mirror Ghost obey Yang Xiao’s every word, Lu Youdao couldn’t help but reveal a trace of envy in his eyes, followed by a complex and indescribable expression.
Yang Xiao keenly caught all this; after all, Lu Youdao was once the Sect Leader of the Gate of Shock, the Upper Three Gates of the Yu Yuan Sect, an absolute high-level figure within the sect, and surely had some untold past.
If it were before, Yang Xiao guessed he wouldn’t ask, but now that he was about to leave, he had fewer concerns than before. "Mr. Lu, you’ve heard about the Yu Yuan Sect, right?"
Yang Xiao naturally referred to the incident where the Yu Yuan Sect collaborated with the Japan Black Wood Society to attack the Ru Lin Academy. This matter caused quite a stir, nearly everyone in the Angel Envoy circle knew about it.
The former Sect Master of Yu Yuan Sect escaped, the current Sect Master and several Sect Leaders died in battle, and most of the top experts within the sect perished. After that, the Old Clan Leader Yang Qianhe from Ru Lin Academy began a fierce retaliation.
"Yu Yuan Sect has become history, and it’s good that they’re dead, good riddance!!" Lu Youdao’s expression instantly turned ferocious as he struck the ground heavily with his palm.
"Yang Xiao, since you’re leaving, there’s a secret I want to tell you."
Yang Xiao immediately perked up his ears; he loved hearing other people’s secrets.
"Do you know why Nalan Shuo and I have been secretly collecting Resentful Eyes over the years, and all of them are on the verge of going out of control, coming from the bodies of Evil Cultivators? Do you know why?" Lu Youdao’s tone was peculiar.
"It was to supply them to Master Lin’s Dark Army." He had heard Director Nalan talk about this before.
