Chapter 2662: Quite the Display of Power

Little Dragon Girl had left.

But within Dingnan City, Tie Xin's roar echoed.

"Where is that brat? I, the city lord, will tear him apart! Tear him apart!"

The dignified deputy city lord of Tiannan City had been beaten into begging for mercy on his knees.

And, in front of everyone, his face was completely lost.

His hatred for Ye Yuan had pierced the heavens.

"Has the army returned?" Tie Xin angrily asked his subordinate.

The subordinate quickly replied, "Reporting to the city lord, the army is still a hundred li from Dingnan City and will return soon."

Tie Xin sneered, "Good, come with me to welcome the army! I want to see how that brat can still be arrogant without the Bihai Divine Conch! If I don't grind him into mud today, my hatred will not be appeased!"

The subordinate said with a bitter face, "City lord, just now the First Hall Master and Second Hall Master have arrived in Dingnan City and have already gone out of the city to welcome the army!"

Tie Xin was stunned, "Which First Hall Master and Second Hall Master?"

The subordinate said, "Naturally, they are the First Hall Master of Tiannan Dan Hall, Master Zhao Xun, and the Second Hall Master, Master Wu Ji'an!"

Tie Xin had a bad feeling and frowned, "Why are they here?"

These two were the two giants of Tiannan's alchemy path, the strongest individuals.

In terms of status, they were even not inferior to the city lord!

Now that the sea tribe had retreated, why would these two suddenly come?

Sure enough, the subordinate also shook his head, "This subordinate does not know!"

Tie Xin snorted coldly, "No matter why they come, if I, the city lord, want to kill a Great Extreme Heaven realm cultivator, would they stop me? Let's go!"

...

"Zhao Xun, First Hall Master of Tiannan Dan Hall, greets Fellow Daoist Ye!"

"Wu Ji'an, Second Hall Master of Tiannan Dan Hall, greets Fellow Daoist Ye!"

Before the army, the two big shots of Tiannan Dan Hall paid their respects to Ye Yuan.

This scene shocked everyone.

Many of the soldiers in the army had just arrived at Dingnan City and did not know what a stir Ye Yuan had caused.

Of course, many had witnessed the scene of Ye Yuan and Little Dragon Girl beating Tie Xin black and blue, and were still talking about it with relish.

However, the identities of these two were not comparable to Tie Xin's.

Although Tie Xin was the deputy city lord, in Tiannan City, the city lord was the absolute authority.

Tie Xin was at most a subordinate.

Moreover, there was more than one deputy city lord.

But Zhao Xun's status was almost equal to that of the city lord.

Wu Ji'an's status was slightly inferior, but not by much.

It could be said that almost all the Yuhuang Heaven realm experts in Tiannan had received favors from these two.

But now, they were paying respects to Ye Yuan, treating him as an equal.

How could they not be shocked by such a scene?

"I am Ye Yuan, greetings to the two fellow daoists." Ye Yuan returned the courtesy neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Ye Yuan was not surprised by the arrival of these two.

Jiang Li was Wu Ji'an's disciple, and had already informed Tiannan Dan Hall of Ye Yuan's matters before this.

With the emergence of a genuine-grade heavenly pill, how could these two dare to take it lightly?

Thus, they personally came to Dingnan City and went out of the city to welcome him.

Zhao Xun smiled and said, “I’ve heard that during this great sea battle of the Sea Clan, it was thanks to Fellow Daoist Ye’s intimidation of the Ji’nan royal clan that countless lives in Tiannan were saved! The City Lord specifically instructed me to express his gratitude to Fellow Daoist Ye.”

Ye Yuan also smiled and said, “The Grand Hall Master and the City Lord are too kind! It was merely a small effort, not worth mentioning.”

Zhao Xun said, “Fellow Daoist Ye does not boast of his merits—truly the bearing of a grandmaster! The City Lord originally wished to come in person, but he has an honored guest and could not get away, so he had to ask us to come in his stead.”

Wu Ji’an also smiled and said, “My disciple Jiang Li has cultivated arduously for many years but could never break through his bottleneck. Thanks to Fellow Daoist Ye’s genuine-grade heavenly pill, he finally took that step! As his master, I thank you on his behalf.”

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “The two Hall Masters are too polite! This is not a place for conversation. Shall we return to the city first?”

Zhao Xun nodded with a smile, “Exactly as it should be!”

As the army set out, everyone was utterly astonished.

These two Hall Masters had shown such courtesy to a mere Great Ultimate Heaven position—something unprecedented.

“What background does this young man have, to cause such a stir?”

“Even peak Jade Emperor Heaven experts, the two Hall Masters treat with indifference, yet they show such respect to a junior!”

“The Second Hall Master said that Master Jiang Li broke through thanks to his heavenly pill. How can a Great Ultimate Heaven alchemist refine a heavenly pill that allows a Non-Ultimate Heaven cultivator to break through to Jade Emperor Heaven? It’s utterly baffling!”

…

In an instant, Ye Yuan became immensely mysterious in everyone’s eyes.

“Ye Yuan, get the hell out here! Without the Blue Sea Conch, let’s see how you can still be arrogant!”

The voice arrived before the person.

Several figures, carrying immense momentum, surged forward and arrived in an instant.

Tie Xin spotted Ye Yuan at first glance amidst the army.

Because Ye Yuan was in the most conspicuous position.

Beside Ye Yuan stood Zhao Xun and Wu Ji’an.

Seeing Ye Yuan, Tie Xin’s eyes blazed with hatred.

Ignoring the two big shots, he struck out with a palm, intending to kill Ye Yuan.

“Brat, die!” Tie Xin roared furiously.

Zhao Xun and Wu Ji’an frowned simultaneously and struck out almost at the same time.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, three great experts at the peak of Jade Emperor Heaven clashed.

Tie Xin was strong, but Zhao Xun and Wu Ji’an were themselves peak Jade Emperor Heaven experts, no less powerful than him.

When the two struck together, it was earth-shattering.

With one blow, Tie Xin was sent flying.

“Tie Xin, how dare you!” Zhao Xun thundered in anger.

Tie Xin was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

He was only trying to kill a Great Ultimate Heaven cultivator—why had both Hall Masters struck at him?

Many in the army looked at Tie Xin with pity.

This deputy city lord was about to lose face again.

“I have a deep grudge against that brat. Why do the two Hall Masters block me?” Tie Xin said, suppressing the turmoil in his qi sea, displeased.

Zhao Xun sneered, “Heh, Tie Xin, you’ve grown bold! Attacking someone right in front of me—it seems the Tiannan Alchemy Hall means nothing to you!”

Tie Xin’s pupils contracted, and he quickly said, “Grand Hall Master, why do you say that? This brat is merely a Great Ultimate Heaven cultivator, yet he dared to humiliate me publicly! If I don’t kill him, I cannot quell my hatred! If I have offended the two Hall Masters, please forgive me. But this brat—I must kill him today!”

Wu Ji’an said in a deep voice, “Deputy City Lord Tie, you throw your weight around impressively! Fellow Daoist Ye is an honored guest of Tiannan. The two of us were about to invite him to the Tiannan Alchemy Hall, yet you want to kill our guest! Hmph, when I return, I will ask Meng Hanfeng just how he disciplines his subordinates!”

Tie Xin’s expression changed drastically, and a chill ran down his spine.

Honored guest of Tiannan!

When had this brat become an honored guest of Tiannan?

And the two Hall Masters had addressed Ye Yuan as… Fellow Daoist!
