Chapter 1884: Chapter 1884: Senior Luoo Goes Too Far
Xiao Yi’s face suddenly became extremely unsightly.
His heart was also suddenly filled with extreme panic.
However, the more he resisted, the more he refused to take off his mask or remove his black robe.
Senior Luoo felt more and more that something was amiss, and his confidence in his intuition grew.
Thus, he was even more determined to remove Xiao Xun’s mask and take off the black robe.
The mask was removed in an instant.
The black robe also fell away in an instant.
"Damn," Xiao Yi was greatly alarmed.
Senior Luoo suddenly froze.
Under the mask was not the handsome face he had imagined.
Although he had long known that the face of the black-robed Xiao Xun resembled a monster, he had never seen it directly.
Even if the face had indeed changed greatly, one could still discern some features between the contours.
In this world, there aren’t many things that can escape his eyes.
And under the black robe, it was not the jade-like body he remembered.
Beneath the mask, inside the black robe, was a body covered with poisonous sores, blood blisters, everywhere rotten flesh, countless hideous scars – a shocking sight.
Even he couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Is this really... a human... body?
Is this truly not a walking corpse, not a monster?
This was vastly different from his impression of the jade-like gentleman, the graceful and handsome figure.
Senior Luoo only stayed stunned for half a second.
The next second, his hand swiftly reached out, directly placed on Xiao Yi’s chest.
Xiao Yi’s heart was once again greatly alarmed.
In that instant, he felt as if his whole body was naked, his insides and outsides, completely seen through with a single glance.
He knew that Senior Luoo was sensing and probing his body.
His body and secrets had never been probed by anyone.
But today, they were forcefully sensed and spied upon by Senior Luoo.
After a long pause, Senior Luoo withdrew his hand, his gaze firmly fixed on Xiao Yi, but without any further action.
The Ghost Mask and the wide black robe were casually thrown on the ground.
Senior Luoo stared directly at him as if trying to see through Xiao Yi completely.
But in fact, he had already seen through.
At least, under his perceptive spying, Xiao Yi had no more secrets left.
He saw the damaged internal organs within Xiao Yi, the shriveled Small World, and everything inside it.
He sensed Xiao Yi’s aura, inside and out, he sensed it all.
Yet, everything was different from his impression.
The most important point in identifying a martial artist’s identity is the aura.
Aura is bestowed by heaven and earth, and no one can change it.
Therefore, he could almost be certain that the Xiao Xun before him was not the suspected, deceased Wind Chaser, the Asura Two Halls’ monster, in his mind.
As for Xiao Yi, he was drenched in cold sweat.
From the moment he entered the Master of the Main Hall’s room until now, not much time had passed.
But even this short time felt like enduring a year to him.
He is well aware of Senior Luoo’s nature.
He seems devoid of any dominant presence or thick layers like mountains or earth, only possessing a scholarly elegance.
Yet in reality, Senior Luoo is calmer than anyone is in handling affairs, more formidable than any old fox.
Moreover, beneath this scholarly elegance, there lies an astounding murderous intent and an extremely terrifying presence, the likes of which Xiao Yi has never felt from anyone else.
So when he saw Senior Luoo, his heart was already overwhelmingly alarmed, even revealing a flaw in an instant initially.
At this moment, Xiao Yi was immensely relieved.
He was grateful that he now had this ’monster-like’ ugly face, rather than his true face.
Grateful that his current aura was entirely gone, turning completely into a toxic aura.
Otherwise, if his true face, true aura were present today, he would already be a corpse.
Senior Luoo had long harbored killing intent toward him.
If he were to possess identities from other Alliance Halls in addition to the Black Demon Hall, the Heavenly Mechanism Hall, and the Soul Hall, it would be a violation of the hall regulations.
On this point alone, Senior Luoo would have ample reason to kill him on the spot.
And he believed that Senior Luoo would undoubtedly carry it out, without even a slight frown while doing so.
This is Senior Luoo.
And this is also the reason why Xiao Yi felt thoroughly chilled to the bone from the start.
Now, a load was lifted from Xiao Yi’s heart.
Since Senior Luoo made no further moves, it meant that Senior Luoo had no intention to kill, and importantly, Senior Luoo did not recognize him as Xiao Yi.
"Heh." Xiao Yi suddenly let out a cold chuckle.
The sound carried a helplessness, mixed with anger, coldness, and shame.
That’s right, shame.
Of course, this was intentional on Xiao Yi’s part.
Now, it was Xiao Yi’s turn to take the initiative.
"Master of the Main Hall, are you satisfied?" Xiao Yi’s words seemed squeezed through his teeth.
"Having seen this ugly face of mine, are you pleased?"
"The Master of the Main Hall would never have imagined that I would be such a monster, right?"
As Xiao Yi spoke, he stooped down, slowly picking up the Ghost Mask and the black robe from the ground.
This action in martial artists is a huge taboo.
Stooping down without any defense, exposing all vital points.
Xiao Yi’s action directly ignored Senior Luoo in front of him, no longer heeding Senior Luoo.
His hand trembled slightly.
Seeing this, even the usually steadfast as Mount Tai expression of Senior Luoo revealed a bit of emotion.
Those ’complaining’ questions, coupled with the extremely hoarse voice, seemed to pierce directly into his heart.
The stooping action, as if throwing caution to the wind, represented extreme dissatisfaction of this young Heavenly Talent towards him.
Yes, young Heavenly Talent.
Senior Luoo could naturally see at a glance that Xiao Xun was definitely not the Old Monster in the outsiders’ accounts but a young Heavenly Talent.
And this indeed extraordinary young Heavenly Talent had such a miserable body, face, and a voice hoarse as an elderly person.
This young Heavenly Talent must be a person with an utterly high self-esteem but one who must certainly have faced countless disdain, dislike, and seen as a monster by others.
That’s why he wore the mask and donned the black robe.
Today, it was Senior Luoo, who willfully and forcefully, without reason, stripped away this proud young man’s ’fig leaf’ one by one.
Now, this young Heavenly Talent was casually putting the black robe back on, with some neatness in his movements.
Yet, for some reason, it only made him appear desolate and bleak.
Even with a heart as hard as steel, Senior Luoo couldn’t help but feel he had indeed gone too far.
At this moment, the young Heavenly Talent had donned the black robe once more but did not put on the mask again.
"Master of the Main Hall, are you satisfied, is it enough?"
"If it’s not enough, go ahead and continue spying."
"My Universe Ring, Qiankun Bag, and the like, I can show them to your heart’s content, how about that?"
"This face of mine, feel free to keep looking at it, oh no, the black robe can come off again, what else do you need to see?"
The young Heavenly Talent’s tone began to be somewhat sharp and aggressive.
This young Heavenly Talent no longer wore the mask but brazenly exposed his ugly face, as if demonstrating a protest.
Upon hearing this, Senior Luoo retracted the emotion on his face, reverting back to his usual calm and scholarly elegance.
But he said, "No need."
...
The second update.
Today’s update, I intended to do earlier but couldn’t manage.
It seems, in Xiao Ba’s updates, early updates are an exception, alas.
Returning to the main topic, although it was late, it won’t be too long; the third update should be out before midnight.
