Chapter 418 (2/2)
The tall person was dressed in a cloak and was wearing a ghostface mask, hiding his real appearance. He was none other than Green Ghost, the Ghostface Sect's sect master. Why was he called the Green Ghost? Because he wore a green ghostface mask. Since no outsiders knew his real name, he had come to be known as the Green Ghost.
”Reporting to the sect master, this person is not a member of the sect yet holds the sect master's medal,” said Lady Shura as she pointed at Xiang Shaoyun.
Since Lady Shura possessed a medal that she could use to have a direct audience with the sect master, it was obvious she held a high position in the sect. Right after Lady Shura said that, Xiang Shaoyun felt an intensely oppressive gaze landing on him. He felt discomfort all over his body, as if that pair of eyes had seen through him.
”Why are you not kneeling before this sect master?” Green Ghost asked.
Along with the question, a ma.s.sive force pressed down on Xiang Shaoyun, nearly forcing him to his knees. The Purple Lightning Saber appeared in his hands. He stabbed it into the ground and used it to prop himself up before mustering a reply, ”I...I kneel to my parents and the heavens, but not others!”
”Impudent!” Green Ghost berated.
Instantly, Xiang Shaoyun felt like a mountain was pressing down on him. He could feel his bones breaking, his body on the verge of collapsing to the ground. Green Ghost had only released a slight portion of his presence, yet a King like Xiang Shaoyun was already rendered completely helpless. If more force was used, he could be easily crushed to death.
Lady Shura stood to the side coldly, not daring to say a single word. Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to collapse, a medal fell off him. This was the very medal he had gotten from Devouring Ghost, a medal with a ghost face on it.
When Green Ghost saw it, he immediately picked it up. His pupils shrank as he cried out in alarm, ”This...where did you get this medal?”
The pressure he was emanating vanished completely, finally letting Xiang Shaoyun stand up straight again. By this point, Xiang Shaoyun was completely drenched in sweat and exhausted, as if he had just experienced a ma.s.sive battle.
Green Ghost asked impatiently, ”Where did you get this medal?”
The question rumbled in Xiang Shaoyun's eardrums, making him feel like they were going to explode. He raised his head, stared at Green Ghost, and replied, ”I got this from Devouring Ghost.”
”Audacious! You dare call my master by his name directly?” Green Ghost raged with fury and sent an energy attack flying toward Xiang Shaoyun.
Sphhlt!
Xiang Shaoyun was sent flying while coughing blood. However, it was clear Green Ghost did not intend to kill him. He merely intended to give him some serious injuries.
”I repeat. Who gave you this medal?” Green Ghost shot forward from the throne and repeated his question.
”Devouring Ghost. He told me that so long as I show this medal to the Ghostface Sect, I will be left alone,” said Xiang Shaoyun firmly.
With a frown, Green Ghost studied Xiang Shaoyun's face. He suddenly s.h.i.+vered and said, ”L-lord Xiang, it's you!”
