Chapter 1583: Trample Him Flat for Me

Song Qiyang landed face-first and slid more than ten zhang before stopping.

That fall was spectacular.

Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Song Qiyang, who had fallen flat on his face, thinking their eyes were playing tricks on them.

Song Qiyang was a half-step Divine Lord, yet he couldn't even fight back and was thrown away by Ye Yuan?

"Ouch! You... how dare you throw me?" Song Qiyang cried out in pain, shouting.

In this inner city, even ordinary elders and stewards wouldn't dare treat him like this!

Not only did this guy swindle and cheat, but he also dared to throw him?

The key was that he had been completely off guard, and Ye Yuan had caught him by surprise.

If they fought for real, he was absolutely not afraid of Ye Yuan!

But the problem was, he had already lost face in front of all his junior brothers.

Ye Yuan's gaze turned cold as he looked at Lin Dong, who felt a chill in his heart, a powerful pressure instantly piercing through it!

Lin Dong found it utterly unbelievable that a Return to Void realm cultivator could bring him such a strong sense of oppression.

This feeling was extremely absurd.

Was it because of his status as an elder?

Lin Dong didn't know, but he knew that Elder Ye was dissatisfied with him.

He had not firmly carried out Elder Ye's orders!

But just now, Ye Yuan hadn't even dared to accept Song Qiyang's challenge. Did he really have the strength to be an elder?

Lin Dong couldn't help but hesitate.

If he made a move today, he would have deeply offended the Grand Elder.

Dealing with a weakling like Qin Xiao was naturally no concern of his.

But the Grand Elder—what a high and mighty existence that was!

"Get out of the way!"

Ye Yuan's voice thundered, instantly silencing everyone, and they unconsciously parted to make way.

Ye Yuan, leading Li'er and the others, walked slowly through the middle.

Only when the gates of Ye Mansion closed did they suddenly snap back to reality.

"Why did I step aside just now?"

"This... this isn't right! My strength is greater than his, so why am I afraid of him?"

Everyone thought to themselves, unable to understand why they had been intimidated by Ye Yuan.

Lin Dong stood there awkwardly, knowing that Ye Yuan hadn't taken him along, which meant Ye Yuan was already very displeased with him.

With a bitter smile, Lin Dong turned and left.

When gods fight, the little ghosts suffer!

Lin Dong had never imagined that one day he would become a 'little ghost' in front of a Return to Void realm cultivator.

"Senior Brother Song, what... what should we do now?" someone quietly asked Song Qiyang.

Song Qiyang roared, "Go back! What else can we do? Do you want to trespass into an elder's residence? That's a serious crime!"

Song Qiyang glared at the gates of Ye Mansion and said hatefully, "There are still a few days until the Alchemy Tower Grand Competition. Let's see how long he can stay arrogant! When the time comes, he'll show his true colors! Hmph!"

...

Ye Mansion was the residence prepared for Ye Yuan by the Alchemy Tower, occupying a vast area in the inner city.

The allocation for an elder was the highest in the inner city.

"Hehe, Master Ye, you were so cool just now! That Song Qiyang has his eyes on top of his head; I've long found him annoying," Ning Siyu said, stirring up trouble as soon as they entered.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "They were insolent to their superior. Not punishing them is already very generous of me."

Ning Siyu teased with a smile, "Then do you know who the person you threw just now is?"

From start to finish, Ye Yuan didn't know Song Qiyang or his background.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "He's the Grand Elder's man, right? And judging by his demeanor, his status isn't low."

Ning Siyu's mouth fell open in surprise. "How did you know?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I guessed."

Ning Siyu gave a thumbs up and praised, "As expected of Master Ye! Since you guessed, how dare you make him lose face in front of so many junior brothers?"

Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "It was your master's strong recommendation that got me this elder position. Do you think if I were polite to them, that bunch would let me off?"

Ning Siyu was momentarily speechless. "That's true! But I think you should have accepted his challenge and taught him a good lesson! Let him know there's always someone better! Also, it would show off your strength as the new elder."

Ye Yuan chuckled. "I'm afraid Lin Dong thought the same! But... what qualifications does he have to make me teach him a lesson? If I win, I gain nothing; if I lose... well... that's impossible."

"Pfft..."

The people around him were all amused by Ye Yuan.

Indeed, how could Ye Yuan possibly lose to Song Qiyang?

After laughing for a while, Ning Siyu said, "But like this, outsiders will say even more that you're not strong enough to hold the elder position. I'm afraid the Grand Elder will use this to make trouble!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Even if I make a move, it won't be me. At the Alchemy Tower Grand Competition, you need to slap that kid's face hard for me!"

Ning Siyu was startled and quickly waved her hand. "I can't, I can't! You don't know, Song Qiyang might be nothing in your eyes, but in mine, he's like a god. Among three-star Divine Alchemists, he's almost invincible!"

Ye Yuan curled his lip disdainfully. "Invincible? Hah, who in this world dares to claim invincibility? Even an existence like the Medicine Ancestor, though unprecedented, who can guarantee there will be no successor? After breaking through to the Dao Realm, I feel even more how insignificant I am. What is he, anyway?"

Ning Siyu was speechless. "You're talking from a position of comfort! At your level, of course you can say whatever you want. But I really am no match for him."

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Don't worry. Starting today, I'll give you ten days of special training! After ten days, you will trample that Song Qiyang's face flat for me!"

...

"Hmm? Lin Dong, weren't you assigned to be Elder Ye's attendant? Why are you back?"

After leaving, Lin Dong went straight back to the Martial Tower.

He had been lost in thought and didn't notice anyone. Now he looked up and saw it was Steward Feng Yuhai, who had arranged this task for him.

Seeing the question, Lin Dong smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid I can't be his attendant anymore!"

Feng Yuhai raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What happened? You know, many strong people wanted this position!"

Being an attendant to an Alchemy Tower elder was not only an honor but also a ladder to steadily improve one's strength!

If an Alchemy Tower elder was in a good mood and casually refined a few pills, it could nourish an attendant for decades or centuries.

Such a plum assignment naturally attracted many strong people.

Although Ye Yuan's strength was still weak, he had been recommended by the Second Elder.

Even if he couldn't refine fourth-grade divine pills himself, getting the Second Elder to do it was possible.

Lin Dong had no choice but to recount what had happened at Ye Mansion's gate, making Feng Yuhai frown deeply.

He sighed, "This matter is indeed difficult for you. From what you say, that Elder Ye might really be a pawn pushed forward by the Second Elder. It's best not to get involved in this affair if you can help it."
