Chapter 644: Elder Melio (2/2)

Wilten was taken aback. Still, Melio was an elder of their Race, so he had to comply.

Melio didn't hide his voice, so Krune, Sisan, and Iem obviously heard what he said too.

Melio then looked at the three and said.

”If you are really as strong as Jilan said, then you won't have a problem to at least put up a fight against Wilten's group. If not, then I'll simply kill you three right here for daring to trick one of our members.”

Iem, Sisan, and Krune looked at each other then back at Elder Melio.

”Sure, but what if we win?”

Melio didn't expect that answer. He thought they wouldn't show so much confidence in the face of three peak Semi-Divinity Realm Green Talon Eagles.

”Hmph! If you really win this fight, I'll give you twice the amount of Wind Essence that Jilan promised you.”

Krune's group was ecstatic.

”Great! We accept.”

Melio nodded and then flew high in the sky. Krune and Wilten's groups quickly followed. Once they reached a high enough altitude, Melio gave the order to start.

What he wanted to test wasn't Sisan, but Krune and Iem. Still, it wouldn't be fair to have three peak Semi-Divinity Realm Eagles to fight against two 1st stage ones. So he also included Sisan in this test just for convenience.

The battle soon started, and it also caught the attention of all the other Semi-Divinity Realm and above eagles. Suddenly, hundreds of Divine Senses fell on the group in the sky.

Iem, Krune, and Sisan then attacked one Green Talon Eagle each. It was evident that they had no intention to form a group. Seeing that, the Eagles also didn't form a team and attacked Krune's group separately. After all, neither of them believed that Krune and Iem were as strong as Jilan mentioned.

Jilan, of course, also noticed the commotion and used her Divine Sense to check. When she saw what was happening, she could only sigh.

'Elder Melio isn't bad, but he is always short-tempered. Even though he had nothing to do with it, he still meddled in my affairs. Well, I guess you reap what you sow.'

She then returned her attention to the collection of Wind Essence and ignored what was happening outside. In Jilan's eyes, Wilten's group simply had no chance whatsoever.

Sure enough, the battle was over around a minute later. In fact, it could have finished a lot earlier, but Krune and Iem purposely held back so that they wouldn't hurt those Eagles too badly. Sisan wasn't as much of a monster as Krune and Iem, but he was still a genius of the Sky Shifting Sect. As mentioned before, he could totally fight an ordinary 1st or 2nd Stage Divinity Realm opponent. Let alone a peak Semi-Divinity Realm Demon beast.

Melio was shocked by what he saw. He considered the possibility of Sisan winning his battle. After all, he had the same cultivation as the Eagle he was fighting against. However, Krune and Iem turned out to be even stronger than Sisan. In fact, he could tell that both Krune and Iem held back just now. Otherwise, even killing these Eagles would have been an easy task!

A few moments later, Jilan finally arrived back on the scene. First, she bowed to Elder Melio. One must remember that he was still an elder of their Race.

”Welcome Back, Elder Melio.”

Melio could only nod absent-mindedly.

After that, Jilan passed a vial that brimmed with a green light to Krune.

”Here is the Wind Essence I promised to you.”

Krune smiled and accepted the vial. Immediately after, Luvile used his Divine Sense to check it.

”I see... no wonder they have so much Elemental Essence Veins in this place.”

Krune couldn't help but ask.

”Did you find anything? Could it be that this Wind Essence is fake?”

”No. This is the real deal. However, its power is very weak. I believe that it only has around 1/10 of the Wind Essence concentration you find in the God Realm. However, this trade was still worth it. For the people and beasts of the Godly Path Realm, such a degree of purity is well worth using. You can still use it to trade for the items to help those siblings. It's just that the value decreased a lot.”

Krune sighed in relief and smiled back at Jilan.

”Our deal is concluded then.”

Krune, Iem, and Sisan then looked at Elder Melio. After all, they won the fight.

Melio quickly came back to himself after being stared at by Krune's group. However, he didn't seem angry or sad that the eagles lost the battles. Instead, he seemed quite excited.

”You three, come with me. I'll fetch another vial of Wind Essence as I promised. Also, there is one thing I wish to discuss with you. Jilan, you were the one who brought these friends here, so you can come as well.”

Krune's group was surprised by that sudden change of attitude. Nevertheless, they nodded and followed Elder Melio. It was also an excellent opportunity to make more inquires about this place.
