Chapter 2816: Drag Him Out and Kill Him!

Seeing the token Ye Yuan revealed, Xiao Shan trembled all over, his eyes showing disbelief.

“The... the Grand Commander token! How... how do you have this?” Xiao Shan said in shock.

Although Xiao Shan was questioning it, the character “Ye” engraved on the token and the unique aura emanating from it could not be faked.

In the Northern Front Army, aside from Emperor-level experts, the highest commander was the Grand Marshal Ming Yi.

Below him were five Grand Commanders at the Great Perfection of True Emperor Heaven.

Below the Grand Commanders, True Emperor Heaven experts were all at the Commander level.

Each person had a corresponding token.

Now that Ye Yuan had actually produced a Grand Commander token, one could imagine Xiao Shan’s shock.

There were only five such tokens!

And their holders were all Great Perfection True Emperor Heaven experts!

Where did Ye Yuan get one?

“The Danfei Emperor Lord bestowed the Grand Commander token, appointing me to command the Heavenly Alchemist division of the Northern Front Army! Commander Xiao, I wonder... does Ye have the authority to manage matters in the army?” Ye Yuan looked at Xiao Shan and said word by word.

Everyone present was in an uproar!

Xiao Shan’s pupils contracted, his expression one of utter horror.

This Grand Commander token was personally bestowed by the Danfei Emperor Lord!

The Danfei Emperor Lord was the true supreme commander of the Northern Front war!

Ordinarily, he was elusive, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

The battles of the Saint Emperor Heaven armies were actually fought on the periphery.

The truly core area was where these Emperor-level experts fought.

Battles at that level could be described as earth-shattering.

Logically speaking, Grand Marshal Ming Yi himself had the authority to appoint a Grand Commander.

However, the Heavenly Alchemist division had no Grand Commander; it had always been managed by Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan’s strength was insufficient, and he could not become a Grand Commander.

But who would have thought that the Danfei Emperor Lord would personally intervene in army affairs and bestow the Grand Commander token upon Ye Yuan!

Didn’t that mean Ye Yuan had directly become Xiao Shan’s immediate superior?

This was too absurd!

A mere fifth-grade Heavenly Alchemist had become the immediate superior of a sixth-grade Heavenly Alchemist?

But who could refute a matter personally attended to by the Danfei Emperor Lord?

Xiao Shan, Dao Chen, and their ilk had been questioning Ye Yuan’s identity all along; now, not only had Ye Yuan become a member of the army, but he had also become the Grand Commander of the Heavenly Alchemist division of the Northern Front Army!

Could he manage things?

Absolutely!

The Grand Commander of the Heavenly Alchemist division was precisely in charge of all Heavenly Alchemists present, including Xiao Shan!

It was a perfect fit!

In fact, Xiao Shan’s arrest of Zhao Chen was somewhat unjustified.

After all, Zhao Chen was not his direct subordinate.

But the disciples of the Ultimate Medicine Sect were used to being overbearing, and with Xiao Shan’s identity as Commander, he was effectively the Grand Commander of the Heavenly Alchemist division.

Even Zhao Chen’s superior would not plead for him.

But now, the situation was different.

“If Commander Xiao has any doubts, you can ask Grand Marshal Ming Yi,” Ye Yuan said indifferently.

“No need! This token cannot be faked!” Xiao Shan said in a deep voice.

He had never felt so aggrieved!

As a sixth-grade Heavenly Alchemist of the Ultimate Medicine Sect, his status in the army was extremely revered.

Even True Emperor Heaven experts had to beg him.

But now, he was being suppressed by a fifth-grade Heavenly Alchemist—how could he not be frustrated?

Ye Yuan naturally did not care about Xiao Shan’s attitude. He said indifferently, “Then, as this Grand Commander, can I manage the affairs of the army or not?”

“You can!” Xiao Shan said sullenly.

But when Zhang Xiu heard these words, it was like a thunderbolt, instantly stunning him.

What did this mean?

He was not going to be saved?

Then Ye Yuan, as a new official, would surely make an example of him first!

Ye Yuan said indifferently, “Since I can manage, then as Grand Commander, I will say a few more words! In this army, there are probably not a few brothers who belong to sects! The ruling-level sects of Tianyi Continent are not limited to your Ultimate Medicine Sect! In the fight against the Blood Clan, the Ultimate Medicine Sect has indeed made great contributions, but which of the brothers fighting on the battlefield has not contributed? Have the other ruling-level sects not contributed? Or, are the Saint Emperor Heaven experts from ruling-level sects of higher status than those from smaller sects?”

“If that’s the case, with factions everywhere on our side, how can we fight this war? Once you join the army, everyone is a comrade-in-arms! Heavenly Alchemists are also members of the army! We are all born of parents; who is more precious than whom? You are a Saint Emperor Heaven expert, but isn’t he also a Saint Emperor Heaven expert? If you have the ability, break through to True Emperor Heaven and show us!”

“This army’s defeat is largely the fault of the Ultimate Medicine Sect! No one has held you accountable precisely because the Ultimate Medicine Sect has made outstanding contributions! But a mistake is a mistake; can’t it be mentioned? If someone criticizes you, you want military punishment? Xiao Shan, then how should I punish you for defying me, the Grand Commander? Dao Chen, you are merely a fifth-grade Heavenly Alchemist; how should you be punished for defying me, the Grand Commander?”

Xiao Shan’s face darkened, and he was immediately choked speechless.

You’re setting me up!

You clearly had the Grand Commander token all along, but you deliberately didn’t show it!

As for Dao Chen, his face turned ashen.

In fact, Ye Yuan had not set him up.

After leaving Danfei, Ming Yi still had important military matters to discuss, so he stayed behind and casually ordered his men to take Ye Yuan to treat the soldiers first.

Ye Yuan was not one to show off, so naturally he did not take out the Grand Commander token himself.

If the Ultimate Medicine Sect had not pushed him too far, he would not have bothered to produce the Grand Commander token.

I have already crushed you in alchemy; why would I need a Grand Commander token?

“Release him!” Ye Yuan said coldly to the two guards.

The two guards were at a loss and looked at Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan waved his hand, signaling them to release him, and they were greatly relieved.

Being caught between the Grand Commander and the Commander was so uncomfortable!

Zhao Chen was released, his eyes shining.

He had not expected that Master Ye would make such a dramatic turn, slapping the faces of the Ultimate Medicine Sect disciples resoundingly!

In fact, after this disastrous defeat, they had been extremely frustrated.

It was clearly a man-made disaster, but they could not speak of it.

The prestige of the Ultimate Medicine Sect in their hearts had plummeted to the bottom.

Now that Ye Yuan had said it in front of everyone, they felt much more relieved.

“Zhao Chen, seize Zhang Xiu for me!” Suddenly, Ye Yuan shouted coldly.

Zhao Chen trembled all over and immediately stepped forward to arrest Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu shouted, “Uncle-Master Xiao Shan, save me!”

Xiao Shan’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “Grand Commander, must it come to this? The face of my Ultimate Medicine Sect is not so easy to slap! You are new here and may not know, but among the Emperor Heaven experts who came this time, there is also an ancestor of my Ultimate Medicine Sect!”

The Emperor Heaven experts were naturally not limited to Danfei alone.

It was just that his strength was the greatest.

However, Ye Yuan was not buying it. He only said indifferently, “Military orders are as firm as a mountain! If I don’t kill someone today, you will never know the value of human life! Our comrades-in-arms are not meant to be used as test subjects! Zhao Chen, drag him out and kill him!”
