Chapter 818: Chapter 819 I Am Not Human

Ye Wudao’s face was filled with uncontrollable shock!

Long Mie, that bastard!

He’s appeared again!

Back then, he even asked his father to gather news about Long Mie. Ever since the Ye Clan’s imperial family saved him from the demonic sect, Long Mie had mysteriously vanished!

"Heh heh, brother, long time no see!" Long Mie grinned broadly.

"So, someone with the surname Ye, it’s your brother who came to save you, huh? Fine, when you go to the underworld later, at least you’ll have some company!" Master Skeletal sneered, revealing a row of yellow teeth and an ugly grin.

When Ye Wudao heard this, the joy on his face instantly vanished, replaced by urgency, as he shouted, "Long Mie, get out of here quickly! You’re no match for this freak—he’s an elder monster in the late True Pill realm!"

"Let go of my brother!" Long Mie’s gaze turned icy.

"If you want him, let’s see if you have the strength!" Master Skeletal’s face carried a mocking expression as he commanded, "Wolf Corpse Puppet, kill that guy for me!"

Roar!

The Wolf Corpse Puppet howled at the sky and charged at Long Mie, swift as lightning.

"Rooaaar!"

Unfazed, Long Mie let out a dragon’s roar. The air around him erupted with a terrifying draconic pressure as he threw a fierce punch.

Boom!

The collision of powers unleashed a dull explosion. Long Mie resisted the attack of the Wolf Corpse Puppet without budging an inch!

"This guy..." Master Skeletal’s face darkened. There weren’t many who could withstand the Wolf Corpse Puppet’s attack.

"Get the hell out of my way!" Long Mie roared, his fist swelling with power and releasing a dazzling Jin Guang!

Bang!

The Wolf Corpse Puppet staggered back.

The entire crowd was aghast!

"Holy crap, who is this guy? He actually forced back the Wolf Corpse Puppet?"

"A monster!"

"A late True Pill realm cultivator!" Master Skeletal’s face completely changed. He hadn’t anticipated that this unexpected intruder would be a late True Pill realm practitioner!

This was bad!

"Damn, Long Mie, your strength is insane..." Ye Wudao’s face was filled with disbelief.

He had always known that Long Mie’s background was extraordinary, as a member of the dragon clan!

But he never imagined that Long Mie was this powerful!

"Heh heh, my strength has restored quite a bit recently!" Long Mie laughed, then turned his now frosty gaze toward Master Skeletal, crossing his arms as he said, "Let go of my brother!"

"Sir, this young man is my perfect choice for possession! I am Master Skeletal, an elder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. If you are willing to let this matter go, I am prepared to offer 30 Spirit Crystals in exchange!"

Gasp!

Thirty Spirit Crystals!

The entire audience was completely stunned!

"Spirit Crystals are the finest grade of Spirit Stones, imbued with immense power. Just a single ordinary Spirit Crystal is worth a billion Spirit Stones!"

"As expected of a late True Pill realm cultivator. To casually offer 30 Spirit Crystals..."

"Unbelievable!"

The experts from the Dongfang family were not the only ones shocked. Even Dongfang Xiao gasped in astonishment!

One must know that Dongfang Xiao’s entire fortune amounted to only about 50 Spirit Crystals!

"What are Spirit Crystals?" Ye Wudao asked with a puzzled look.

"You ignorant brat? You don’t even know what Spirit Crystals are? Well, I suppose I can’t blame you, given how feeble your cultivation is," Master Skeletal sneered disdainfully before continuing, "Martial Artists trade in Spirit Stones, but once one reaches the True Pill realm, it’s a whole new level. Ordinary Spirit Stones no longer suffice; they trade using Spirit Crystals! A single ordinary Spirit Crystal is worth a billion ordinary Spirit Stones!"

Gasp!

Ye Wudao drew in a sharp breath!

That old devil Master Skeletal was willing to pay 30 Spirit Crystals just to prevent Long Mie’s interference!

That was equivalent to a staggering 30 billion Spirit Stones!

Unbelievable!

Long Mie, arms crossed, scoffed, "Thirty Spirit Crystals? Do you think I’m begging on the street? My brother is worth far more than just 30 Spirit Crystals. You’ll need to add more."

When Master Skeletal heard this, a faint smile crept across his lips.

What he feared most was this mysterious expert refusing outright!

It seemed, however, that the relationship between Long Mie and Ye Wudao wasn’t that close after all!

If the issue could be resolved with Spirit Crystals, Master Skeletal had no desire to offend such a powerful late True Pill cultivator.

Especially since Ye Wudao’s body was far too valuable!

He was determined to obtain it at all costs!

"Fine, how about I offer 40 Spirit Crystals?" Master Skeletal proposed, waving his hand as 40 golden Spirit Crystals floated in mid-air, drawing the attention of everyone present!

"Gasp, so these are the legendary Spirit Crystals!"

"Each Spirit Crystal contains unimaginable power!"

"Forty Spirit Crystals, worth a full 40 billion Spirit Stones!"

Still crossing his arms, Long Mie shook his head. "No, no, the price is still too low. A mere 40 Spirit Crystals? I can’t bear to see my brother harmed for that little!"

"Hahaha! My friend, you are quite a straightforward person. Very well, I will raise the price one final time!" Master Skeletal waved his hand, and 10 more Spirit Crystals materialized before him!

Altogether, 50 Spirit Crystals now floated before Master Skeletal.

"What do you say, my friend? I offer 50 Spirit Crystals. Does that satisfy you?" Master Skeletal smiled confidently. His face reflected absolute certainty of victory!

Fifty Spirit Crystals was an astronomical sum!

It equaled the entire fortune of an average mid-True Pill realm cultivator!

Even for a late True Pill realm expert, such a sum was a bitter pill to swallow!

If not for the fact that Master Skeletal was determined to take possession of Ye Wudao’s body and wanted to avoid any mishaps, he would never have offered so much!

"Not bad, not bad!" Long Mie grinned in satisfaction, his eyes practically sparkling with Jin Guang!

Fifty Spirit Crystals—indeed, only late True Pill cultivators could take out such an amount all at once!

It was a fortune of unspeakable value!

"Brother, I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t want to save you, but this elder from the Heavenly Corpse Sect has simply offered too much!" Long Mie looked at Ye Wudao with a regretful expression.

Ye Wudao lowered his head, his eyes filled with despair, his heart like dead ashes.

Long Mie then reached out, ready to claim the Spirit Crystals from Master Skeletal.

"Wait!" Master Skeletal suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

"Sir, are you planning to back out?" Long Mie grew angry, exuding a faint draconic pressure.

"Not at all!" Master Skeletal shook his head. "These 50 Spirit Crystals are no small matter. You must swear an oath before taking them!"

"Exactly! You can’t just take the Spirit Crystals and leave. What if you go back on your word?" Dongfang Xiao chimed in, prompting nods of agreement from those around.

"That’s right, you must swear an oath!"

Long Mie raised his hand and said, "Fine, I, Long Mie, swear on my honor. If I break my word, may I be struck by divine retribution!"

"Hahaha, excellent!" Master Skeletal was visibly pleased, and with a wave of his hand, the 50 Spirit Crystals appeared before Long Mie.

Long Mie picked up one of the Spirit Crystals and bit it lightly with his teeth before showing a satisfied expression and stowing them all away!

"Master Skeletal, are you really willing to part with these? That’s 50 Spirit Crystals..." Dongfang Xiao mumbled under his breath.

"Do you think I want to? If it weren’t for my desire to take possession of Ye Wudao’s body, I wouldn’t part with a single Spirit Crystal!" Master Skeletal glared venomously at Long Mie. "But that fool is too naive, truly thinking he can take Master Skeletal’s Spirit Crystals without consequence? Hmph. I’ve already sent a secret message to the elders of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. My reinforcements will be here soon, and I’ll make him vomit back every last Spirit Crystal—with interest!"

Dongfang Xiao gave him a thumbs-up. "Brilliant!"

"Sir, why haven’t you left yet?" Master Skeletal asked Long Mie, a faint look of dissatisfaction crossing his face.

"Ah, sorry about that. I just remembered something..." Long Mie scratched his head, his thick eyebrows and bright eyes wearing an apologetic look.

"What is it?" Master Skeletal, eager to send him away, forced himself to remain patient.

"I... am not a very good person!" Long Mie said with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. Suddenly, he swung a ferocious punch toward Master Skeletal, turning on him without warning!
