Chapter 831: Chapter 832 Start Taking Action

"Old Ye, shall we make a move now?" Long Mie asked.

"I’ll fully cooperate with the plan of you two!" Master Skeletal voiced his support.

"Not yet. Let’s wait for this Nameless Mask to finish its auction. Once I have it in my hands, we’ll act together!" Ye Wudao suppressed the boiling rage in his chest and spoke each word with chilling murderous intent.

"Achoo!" Beside them, an old rogue, chewing with his mouth full of grease, sneezed. "The killing intent here is so heavy!"

The auction was in full swing.

Ziyun, the dazzling auctioneer, possessed both an alluring figure and stunning beauty, captivating everyone’s gaze. "Next on the list is an item brought back by four Spirit Transformation Realm experts from an ancient land exploration. This mask, accidentally discovered, is called the Nameless Mask. It has the ability to disguise oneself, even to the extent that seasoned Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators cannot see through it!"

"Wow, that’s incredible!"

"What grade of magical treasure is it?"

"Does it have any other effects?" Many people asked curiously.

Ziyun smiled wryly. "This mask is quite mysterious. Even the most experienced appraisers at our Demon Heaven Auction House failed to determine its grade or discover its other abilities. We decided to auction it as a fourth-grade magical treasure. The starting price is 40 Spirit Crystals. If anyone is interested, feel free to bid!"

A wave of scoffing swept through the room.

"Pfft, they couldn’t even determine its grade, and all it does is disguise? How useless!"

"What a waste of resources. Anyone who buys this is a fool!"

"Exactly!" The crowd showed no interest in the Nameless Mask.

"Would any guest be willing to purchase the Nameless Mask?" Ziyun picked up the mask and prepared to lower the price. "Alright then, how about 35 Spirit Crystals? 30 Spirit Crystals? Even 20 Spirit Crystals will do!"

Still, no one in the room responded.

Ziyun sighed bitterly. "Looks like this item is about to pass unsold!"

Just then, Ye Wudao’s voice rang out. "20 Spirit Crystals. I’ll take it!"

"Very well! Congratulations to the guest in private room 89 for acquiring the Nameless Mask. We will have it delivered to you immediately!" Ziyun said with a smile. Despite the price being halved, at least it found an owner.

Moments later, the auction house staff arrived to deliver the mask to Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao handed over the payment and received the item.

"So this is the mask you spent 20 Spirit Crystals on? It doesn’t look that special. No wonder no one wanted to buy it!" Long Mie mocked.

Ye Wudao held up the black-and-blue mask and put it on.

"Why isn’t anything happening?" Ye Wudao noticed that his appearance hadn’t changed.

"Kid, you need to drop blood to recognize it as your master," the old rogue remarked.

"Alright, I’ll try." Ye Wudao bit his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the Nameless Mask. In an instant, the mask emitted a dazzling purple glow.

Ye Wudao picked it up again and placed it on his face.

In a flash, he transformed into the appearance of an old man with a face full of wrinkles!

"Holy crap, how amazing!" Long Mie exclaimed in shock.

Moments later, Ye Wudao transformed into an old woman, and within the blink of an eye, he shifted through a dozen different forms.

"Being able to change appearances at will, this is definitely worth the 20 Spirit Crystals!" Long Mie revised his judgment.

"Can you sense my aura?" Ye Wudao asked.

"No, not at all!" Long Mie and Master Skeletal both shook their heads.

"Excellent!" Ye Wudao smiled with satisfaction. He ultimately settled on the appearance of a sharp-featured middle-aged man, his aura turning cold and intimidating.

"If I didn’t know who you really were, even if I were beaten to death, I wouldn’t believe you were Young Master Ye!" Master Skeletal joked.

"Heh. Master Skeletal, do you know where Li Tiandao’s private room is located?" Ye Wudao asked.

"I do. It’s on the third floor, second luxury box to the left in the front row. I’ve already informed Li Tiandao in advance! Please, come with me!" Master Skeletal replied.

"Alright. Let’s begin!" Ye Wudao exchanged a look with Long Mie, and both of them nodded simultaneously.

"That so-called Nameless Mask is actually the renowned Phantom Mask. Those idiots at the Demon Heaven Auction House didn’t recognize its worth. If Unity Realm’s Phantom Ancestor knew his life-bound treasure was auctioned off for 20 Spirit Crystals, he’d probably burst out of his coffin in rage and come back to life!" the old rogue quipped with a smirk.

"Godfather, I hope we meet again!" Ye Wudao glanced back at the old rogue before turning to leave.

"Wait!" the old rogue suddenly called out.

Ye Wudao paused and turned around. "What is it?"

"Judging by your disguises and the solemn look on your faces, you’re planning to target a Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouse, aren’t you?" the old rogue asked.

"How does this crazy old man know?" Long Mie was stunned.

"Could it be he’s not actually crazy?" Master Skeletal couldn’t believe it.

"Yes," Ye Wudao admitted honestly.

"Using strategy to deal with someone you can’t defeat is wise, but don’t treat your opponent like a fool," the old rogue said lazily, picking his nose and crossing his legs. "If things go south, remember to ask me for help!"

Ye Wudao smiled faintly and nodded. "Alright!"

"I thought that old guy wasn’t crazy, but asking for his help? I might as well bash my head on a tofu block!" Long Mie mocked.

Master Skeletal also shook his head.

...

Third-floor private room.

The three of them held their breaths and moved with silent steps.

"I never thought in my entire life that I’d ever attempt to assassinate a Spirit Transformation Realm monster!" Master Skeletal whispered cautiously.

"What, are you scared?" Long Mie’s gaze turned icy.

"No, no! At this point, it’s life or death!" Master Skeletal replied hurriedly.

Ye Wudao spoke calmly, "Our plan is meticulous. As long as we succeed in getting Li Tiandao to drink the Nine Yin Soul Devouring Water, even if he’s a Spirit Transformation Realm monster, he’ll be at our mercy!"

Master Skeletal hesitated for a moment and said, "But Li Tiandao is always vigilant. He won’t be easily deceived. What if he refuses to drink?"

"Long Mie, is everything ready?" Ye Wudao asked.

Long Mie grinned and pulled out a golden dragon-patterned wine flask. "It’s all set. I’ve mixed the Nine Yin Soul Devouring Water into this flask, and it contains hidden mechanisms. With a slight adjustment from me, the regular wine and the poisoned wine will switch. Even if Li Tiandao is suspicious, seeing us drink it first should lower his guard!"

"I trust your work!" Ye Wudao nodded.

At that moment, Master Skeletal stopped in front of a luxurious private room. "We’ve arrived!"

Ye Wudao and Long Mie immediately halted.

"I’ll go inside to greet Li Tiandao first. Wait for my signal!" Master Skeletal instructed.

"Alright," Ye Wudao agreed.

Master Skeletal lightly knocked on the door, and an impatient voice answered from inside, "Who is it?"

"It’s me, Master Skeletal!"

The door opened shortly after, and Master Skeletal entered with a heavy heart.

"Old Ye, are you nervous?" Long Mie asked.

Ye Wudao shook his head. "No. What about you?"

"I’m nervous. What if I fail to kill Li Tiandao? What if I can’t avenge you? What if I never see you reunite with your wife?" Long Mie said, his fists clenching tightly.

Ye Wudao hadn’t anticipated that beneath Long Mie’s rough exterior lay such a loyal and emotional spirit!

"Good brothers, for life!" Ye Wudao held out his hand.

"Even in death, we’ll be brothers!" Long Mie gripped Ye Wudao’s hand firmly.

Just then, Master Skeletal reappeared, speaking softly, "Li Tiandao has agreed to meet you two!"
