Chapter 157
The Sect Elder from the Golden Lion Academy quickly led the group of influential individuals to the living quarters of his Patriarch .
"The Sect Master should still be inside—"
Before he could even finish speaking, the Patriarch from the Holy Sword Sect unsheathes the sword by his side and in a single strike, sliced the door into countless pieces .
"Old Gold! Get your ass out here right now! How dare you act like this when you are a Patriarch! Have you forgotten your responsibility as a Sect Master?!" he yelled in anger, clearly irritated by his cowardly behavior .
The people watched in awe as the Patriarch from the Holy Sword Academy speaks to the Patriarch of the Golden Lion Academy in such a face-slapping way . In this whole world, only he and the old lady from the Four Seasons Academy would dare to speak to him in such a way .
However, even after waiting many moments, there was not a single reply from the Golden Lion Academy's Patriarch .
"Don't think I can't sense your presence just because you concealed it!"
After another moment of silence, the Patriarch from the Holy Sword Sect had enough waiting around and went directly into the house, and the others followed behind, afraid that they might get attacked if they walked inside first .
Inside the house was completely dark and grimy, almost like the place was haunted .
At the end of the room, they were able to notice a faint golden glow that outlined a human figure, and it was trembling in the corner .
"Old Gold, you…"
Not just the Patriarch of the Holy Sword Academy but everybody there were shocked speechless by what they were witnessing .
The Patriarch of the Golden Lion Academy, one of the proudest and most arrogant individuals to walk on this earth, was actually cowering in fear in the corner of this dark room .
His usually vigorous aura was nowhere to be seen, replaced by sheer fear and a feeling of being powerless .
The spirit in his faint eyes was also completely gone, turning his expression soulless .
The once domineering Sovereign Spirit Realm expert was nowhere to be seen and has been reduced to such a pitiful sight .
What on earth did he experience that could break a man of his caliber to such a state?
The anger on the Holy Sword Academy's face disappeared the moment he saw Patriarch Gold, who screamed in horror when he noticed the newcomers .
"P-P-Please! I am sorry for attacking you! D-D-Don't hurt me!" Patriarch Gold cried in a begging voice, causing the atmosphere to turn even more awkward .
"Relax, Old Gold . It's me, Wu Jian Yi!"
The Patriarch of the Holy Sword Academy spoke in a voice that he would usually use around frightened children .
"W-W-Wu J-J-Jian Y-Yi?"
"That's right . Everybody is here, so you don't have to worry about the threat anymore . "
"R-Really?"
"Really . "
"Senior Gold, we are all here to help you . "
"That's right . There's nothing to be fearful of anymore now that we are all gathered here . "
"N-No! You don't understand!" Patriarch Gold suddenly exclaimed, his voice still trembling in fear . "That thing — that monster — there's nothing we can do against it!"
Everybody there frowned simultaneously after hearing those words . Perhaps they are still underestimating the true terror this entity could bring?
"Old Gold, why don't you start by explaining the situation so we can have a better grasp of what we are dealing with?" The Matriarch of the Four Seasons Academy said . "But first, why don't we give you a few minutes to organize your mind first? We will wait for you outside . "
Everybody there approved of the idea and left the living quarters, leaving Patriarch Gold by himself .
Once they were outside, they all released a deep sigh .
"I can finally breathe… Seeing Senior Gold in such a state shocked me more than seeing the destruction here! Shit!"
