727 The Truth About the Opening of the Immortal Forbidden! (1)
“Eldest, Fourth, the two of you should pay your respects.”
Old Master Seventh looked at the statue and slowly spoke.
When Xu Qing heard this, he was about to bow when the captain suddenly spoke.
“There’s no need for me to bow.”
Xu Qing blinked and stopped bowing. Old Master Seventh frowned and looked at the captain.
“What are you up to now?”
The captain’s gaze was fanatical as he looked at Old Master Seventh.
“Master, in my world, you are the supreme being, surpassing all others. While others may bow before the Great Emperor, I bow to you, Master, and you are the true exalted Great Emperor in my heart.”
“Therefore, it’s useless for me to bow down to the other Great Emperors. I only have Master in my heart, so there’s naturally no need for me to bow down to others!”
The captain’s words were matter-of-fact and one couldn’t tell whether he was lying or not. It was as though this was what he thought. After he finished speaking, his face was filled with reverence.
It was as though his master wasn’t only an emperor but also a god in his heart.
This became more obvious when his respectful expression was mixed with reverence.
Hence, this expression could be said to be the peak performance.
When Old Master Seventh heard this, he snorted. At first glance, his expression was still cold, but upon closer inspection, his brows had relaxed and there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Even the gaze he used to look at the captain became much gentler.
It was as though he felt that although this disciple had many problems, at the end of the day, his attitude was still not bad. Respecting one’s master and knowing the importance of loyalty was a great quality and virtue.
One flaw couldn’t hide the splendor of the jade.
At the thought of this, Old Master Seventh calmly spoke.
“You’re not young anymore, always being cheeky and playful, never serious. Fine, I understand your intentions. If you don’t want to pay respects, then let it be.”
With that, Old Master Seventh looked at the human skin masks in the temple as though he was searching.
The captain was in high spirits and bowed deeply to Master. After that, he glanced at Xu Qing from the corner of his eyes, filled with pride.
Xu Qing witnessed all of this with his own eyes and couldn’t help but admire the captain even more. He could tell that before he entered the sect, the captain must have been the favorite of his master.
After all, most people liked this kind of flattery that was shown in different ways at different times.
Xu Qing still cupped his fists and bowed once to the statue of the Human Emperor. After that, he bowed three times to Master.
Bowing once was a form of respect to outsiders.
Bowing three times is an expression of deep affection towards family ties.
When the captain saw this scene, he chuckled at Xu Qing.
The corners of Old Master Seventh’s mouth curled up. He raised his right hand and grabbed upward. Immediately, a human skin mask that was at a higher location was absorbed by him from the inner wall of the temple.
The human skin mask flew over and landed in Old Master Seventh’s hand.
That was a young face, with a fierce and savage expression, exuding endless brutality. When held by Old Master Seventh, it emitted a strong desire for flesh and blood, wrapping around his hand as if to devour it.
“Eldest, this is most suitable for you.”
Old Master Seventh shook his hand and this immortal art human skin mask flew straight for the captain.
The captain grabbed it.
The skin mask instantly wrapped around the captain’s right palm. The sound of chewing rang out, as though it was trying to bite it.
The captain shook it but realized that he couldn’t shake it off.
Others might be horrified at this moment, after all, their palms were being bitten.
However, the captain was different. He revealed a curious expression and allowed the mask to envelop his palm and devour it continuously.
“You actually want to bite me?” The captain felt that it was fun and simply moved the hand closer to his face.
At the next instant, the skin mask sensed something and quickly let go of the captain’s palm, revealing a bloody palm filled with bite marks. After that, it pounced toward the captain’s face with dense malice and greed.
In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the captain’s face and quickly covered it. Finally, it transformed into a complete mask that was completely worn on the captain’s face.
The captain’s aura suddenly changed and so did his appearance. He exuded an unfamiliar feeling.
There was also a cold intent that spread out in all directions, as though he turned into a different person.
The captain’s body trembled and he closed his eyes.
This scene caused a strange glint to appear in Xu Qing’s eyes. After sensing carefully, his expression froze.
He discovered that even with his understanding of the captain, he didn’t have the slightest hint of familiarity when he looked at the masked captain.
In fact, if he hadn’t seen the change in the captain’s appearance with his own eyes, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to recognize him if he encountered him in another place.
Under this mask, not only did the captain’s aura change, but even the fluctuations of his soul were different.
“This immortal art human skin mask by itself possesses a certain amount of concealment power.” Old Master Seventh looked at his eldest disciple and spoke to Xu Qing.
When Xu Qing nodded, the captain suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was unfamiliar. After coldly glancing at Xu Qing, he glanced at Old Master Seventh.
Xu Qing was expressionless while Old Master Seventh let out a cold snort.
“You’re still playing! Are you itching for a beating?”
When the captain heard this, he chuckled. Although his aura was still unfamiliar, the familiar feeling returned by quite a bit.
“Master, Junior Brother, this mask is a little interesting. I can sense that it wants to fuse with my face and contains deep malice. At the same time, countless voices of men, women, old, and young gathered together and shouted two words in my mind.”
“The shout in your mind is the name of the immortal art. Chant it and you can use the immortal art. However, depending on your cultivation level, its strength will differ.”
