Chapter 815: Chapter 816: Master Skeletal

What?

The Heavenly Corpse Sect has arrived?

Dongfang Xiao immediately turned hostile, his face full of mockery as he said, "Ye Wudao, the backer of my Dongfang family has arrived. You’re dead for sure!"

Bang!

Ye Wudao sent Dongfang Xiao flying with a kick.

"Ah!" Dongfang Xiao spat out blood as his body crashed heavily at the feet of an old man.

This was a short, hunchbacked elder clad in a gray python robe. He had an ugly visage, covered in pustules and scars, and sported a patch of short, stiff beard—a grotesque figure to behold!

Like all members of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the hideous elder carried a black coffin on his back, which undoubtedly housed some dreadfully ominous thing.

"Family Head Dongfang, is this how you welcome me?" the grotesque elder said.

Dongfang Xiao lifted his head, seeing the elder, his eyes filled with shock and wild joy as he exclaimed, "Master Skeletal!"

The newcomer was none other than Master Skeletal, a True Pill late-stage cultivator of the Heavenly Corpse Sect!

"Master Skeletal, Senior, you... you must seek justice for me! This Kunlun brat is overly arrogant. Ignoring our Dongfang family is one thing, but he went as far as to insult the Heavenly Corpse Sect!" Dongfang Xiao craftily turned the tables, his villainous act reaching its peak.

What?

Master Skeletal’s gaze turned icy, lifting his head coldly, his blood-red eyes radiating like a malevolent ghost!

"Elder Brother, this... this Master Skeletal is terrifying. Just the edge of his gaze is unbearable for me. What level is he?" Yan Donglai’s face was pale with fear.

"A late-stage True Pill cultivator!" Zhao Qingtian enunciated each word with utmost gravity.

What!?

A late-stage True Pill cultivator!

Hearing this, Yan Donglai and the others trembled, their eyes filled with hopeless despair!

Master Skeletal clasped his hands behind his back, his cold, piercing gaze locking onto Ye Wudao as he sneered, "So, you are Ye Wudao?"

"That’s right!" Ye Wudao replied.

"Boy, I’ve heard of your reputation! The Seven Saints of Kunlun handed Kunlun over to you, and yet you abandon your place there to come run wild at the Dongfang family—why?"

Ye Wudao sneered, "The Dongfang family seeks to destroy my Ye family and dared to seize my mother and beloved wife. If I don’t avenge this injustice, it would disgrace the heavens!"

"Oh!" Master Skeletal nodded, "What you say makes sense. Go back then!"

"What? Go back?"

"We’ve yet to see the captives. On what grounds?" Zhao Qingtian and others protested indignantly.

"Silence! Those beneath the True Pill realm have no right to speak here!" Master Skeletal declared domineeringly, silencing Zhao Qingtian and the others as if struck by icy cold.

Master Skeletal looked at Ye Wudao, sneered, and said, "Shall I tell you why? Because the Dongfang family belongs to us, the Heavenly Corpse Sect—that’s why!"

"So, according to Senior, you refuse to hand them over?" Ye Wudao questioned.

"That’s correct," Master Skeletal smirked.

"I am not eloquent, but I do know a thing or two about fighting. I respectfully request Senior’s instruction!" Ye Wudao declared.

"Hahaha..." Master Skeletal laughed harshly, his voice grating like a crow’s, "Brat, you’re the first cultivator below late-stage True Pill to dare speak to me like this. Very well, I’ll be honest with you. Someone from the Heavenly Corpse Sect wants your life!"

"Who?" Ye Wudao’s eyes turned icy.

"You should know him well—Senior Li Tiandao!" Master Skeletal said.

Ye Wudao’s expression shifted drastically!

Li Tiandao!

"Damn it, I knew it was that old ghost!" Ye Wudao’s eyes burned with anger, recalling how he narrowly escaped death at Li Tiandao’s hands in the Cave of Wudaozi!

Given Li Tiandao’s nature, he would never let it slide!

Wait!

Ye Wudao caught a key term from Master Skeletal’s words. His pupils contracted as he asked, "What did you just address Li Tiandao as?"

"Heh, Senior Li Tiandao has recently stepped into the Spirit Transformation realm and is now a high-ranking member of our Heavenly Corpse Sect! Didn’t you know?" Master Skeletal mocked.

Hiss!

Ye Wudao drew in a sharp breath!

That old ghost Li Tiandao broke through to the Spirit Transformation realm!

This just got even trickier!

"Ye brat, why aren’t you scurrying off? You think you can take someone from us? Bring out the Seven Kunlun Saints behind you, then we’ll talk!" Dongfang Xiao sneered. Then, suddenly, he mocked, "But from what I’ve heard, the Seven Saints are in closed-door seclusion. They won’t come to help you!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Master Skeletal’s gruesome face darkened with an aura of killing intent, "I was originally planning to spare you, but since those seven Kunlun old ghosts are isolated in seclusion, there’s no better time to kill you than now!"

"Young master, retreat quickly!"

"We cannot afford to provoke Master Skeletal!"

"A gentleman’s vengeance can wait ten years!" Zhao Qingtian and the others urged, their expressions grave.

"Old ghost, die!" Ye Wudao roared furiously, swinging his blade in a ruthless attack.

Not good!

Dongfang Xiao, knowing full well the terror of Ye Wudao, immediately stumbled and hid behind Master Skeletal.

"Impudent!" Master Skeletal’s gaze shot forth a terrifying killing intent as he slowly raised a single finger.

Bang!

The two forces collided, shaking the entire Dongfang family compound. The ground cracked, and houses trembled on the brink of collapse!

"Boy, your blade skills aren’t bad—your strength is potent, and your killing intent is strong. But in the face of absolute power, you’re far too lacking!" Master Skeletal sneered, flicking his finger.

Not good!

Ye Wudao’s face changed drastically. He quickly swung his blade to block.

Thump, thump...

Ye Wudao staggered backward, barely parrying the attack. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth!

The entire crowd was stunned!

"Holy shit, the strength of this Heavenly Corpse Sect elder is overwhelming!"

"He defeated the young master with just one move!"

"So this is the power of a late-stage True Pill cultivator. It’s terrifying!" Zhao Qingtian and the others were utterly astounded.

On the other hand, the members of the Dongfang family were exhilarated, saying, "Haha, Ye brat, you’re like an ant facing an elephant before Master Skeletal. Today, escape is impossible for you!"

"Master Skeletal, I beg you to avenge my Dongfang family and kill this brat!" Dongfang Xiao pleaded.

Master Skeletal clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze cold and brimming with killing intent as he said, "Heh, I was just about to do that!"
