Chapter 1532: Please Change Your Guild's Name

"M-m-master... please spare me! If they see I brought you here, they'll kill me!"

The closer they got to the Dragon-Slaying Guild's headquarters, the weaker A Si's legs became, until he could barely walk.

Long Zhan carried him as if he were a chick.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said with a bright smile, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

A Si's vision went dark, and he fainted on the spot.

In this imperial city, a Cave Heaven realm martial artist like A Si was just a small fry, fit only for running errands. How could he dare to provoke the Dragon-Slaying Guild, one of the six major powers?

As one of the six major powers, the Dragon-Slaying Guild's headquarters was quite imposing.

Above the door, the three characters "屠龙帮" were written in a bold, domineering script, very eye-catching.

Outside the main gate, five or six Cave Heaven peak martial artists stood guard, with an air that said "keep out."

Seeing Ye Yuan approach, though they recognized him as a Return to Void expert, they paid him no mind and barked, "Can't you see where this is? Get lost!"

Ye Yuan smiled faintly, raised his hand, and struck with his sword.

"Crack!"

The plaque inscribed with "屠龙帮" instantly turned to powder.

The guards were startled and snapped awake, roaring, "Kid, are you asking for death? Do you know what you've done?"

They didn't dare to lay a hand on Ye Yuan, but they still dared to threaten him.

They were used to throwing their weight around.

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over them and said calmly, "Tell your boss to come out. I have some matters to discuss."

The six of them stared wide-eyed at Ye Yuan as if he were an idiot.

This guy destroyed the Dragon-Slaying Guild's signboard and, instead of running, wanted to see the boss. Was he tired of living?

"K-kid, wait right there. Don't you dare run!" one guard said.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Don't worry, I won't."

The guard said to the others, "Keep an eye on him. Don't let him escape. I'll go get the Fifth Boss!"

Before long, the guard returned with a burly, broad-shouldered man, presumably the Fifth Boss.

The Fifth Boss was covered in thick, sturdy flesh that faintly emitted a golden light, clearly a body-refining expert.

"Fifth Boss, it's that kid! He came over and smashed our signboard without a word!" the guard said, pointing at Ye Yuan.

Seeing Ye Yuan, he immediately roared, "Hey! Where did you come from, kid? You dare smash our Dragon-Slaying Guild's signboard? Die! Thunderclap Fist!"

The Fifth Boss was clearly a brute. Without any explanation, he threw a punch straight at Ye Yuan.

With this move, the Fifth Boss's golden light blazed, showing that his physical body had already reached the late stage of the third turn.

Such body-refining strength could sweep through most of his peers.

"Boom!"

Where Ye Yuan had stood, the Fifth Boss smashed a large crater into the ground.

"Hmph! An ignorant brat, now he's a meat patty, right? Someone, clean this up!" the Fifth Boss said, clapping his hands casually.

"F-Fifth Boss, b-behind you!" the guard stammered, looking as if he'd seen a ghost.

The Fifth Boss shuddered and turned around, only to find a sharp sword pointing at his brow.

The law power emanating from the sword's tip made the Fifth Boss's heart tremble.

Such speed!

He, a late-stage third-turn Golden Body expert, couldn't keep up with the speed of an early Return to Void cultivator!

This... was terrifying!

A strong body didn't mean invulnerability.

The head was clearly a weak point for a body-refining expert.

If Ye Yuan so much as channeled his divine essence, the Fifth Boss would ascend to immortality.

Cold sweat broke out on the Fifth Boss's forehead. He stammered, "L-little brother, l-let's talk this out... nicely."

Ye Yuan said calmly, "I wanted to talk nicely, but you didn't give me the chance."

With that, Ye Yuan sheathed his sword and stood still.

The Fifth Boss was shocked. An early Return to Void cultivator possessed such formidable strength.

Could this guy be from the Inner City?

In the Fifth Boss's view, only the top geniuses from the Inner City could have such terrifying power.

For a moment, many thoughts raced through the Fifth Boss's mind.

The muscles on the Fifth Boss's face twitched a few times, and he gave an awkward smile. "This... little brother, you come and smash our signboard right away. That makes it hard for Meng Huo to handle things!"

Ye Yuan nodded. "I understand that well, which is why you're still alive."

The Fifth Boss looked even more awkward. "Little brother, may I ask why you smashed our signboard? Have we... offended you in some way? Which bastard did it? Just say the word, and I'll beat that scoundrel to death!"

Ye Yuan smiled. "Indeed, someone blocked my way and robbed me, saying they wanted to 'teach the newcomer a lesson.'"

Meng Huo's face stiffened. "N-newcomer? You're not from the Inner City?"

Ye Yuan said, "I entered the city for the first time today, and I was immediately 'treated' by your esteemed guild."

Meng Huo was speechless. Robbing wealthy newcomers was something all gangs did.

He never expected to hit a wall this time.

Although the Dragon-Slaying Guild wasn't afraid of this kid's strength, he estimated that it would take at least the Third Boss to handle him.

But as luck would have it, the other bosses had gone to discuss matters with the Silver Feather Guild today and weren't around!

"However... I didn't come today for that matter," Ye Yuan added.

Meng Huo was taken aback. Not for that?

"Little brother, whatever it is, just say it! Our Dragon-Slaying Guild has some influence in the South City. If it's within our power, we won't refuse," Meng Huo said, thumping his chest.

Meng Huo might be reckless, but he wasn't stupid.

A young man as powerful as Ye Yuan—at least in the South City, few could match him.

If he was willing to join any faction, he would become a dominant force!

Such a person was not to be offended lightly.

At least, not until the boss returned.

He couldn't control this kid!

Ye Yuan nodded and smiled. "That's good. I just wanted... to ask your esteemed guild to change its name."

Meng Huo was stunned, then his face darkened. "Kid, our Dragon-Slaying Guild's name has been in use for thousands of years! Are you... deliberately picking a fight?"

Ye Yuan shook his head. "No, no. It's just that... your name offends my taboo!"

Meng Huo's face sank. "Ridiculous! Who do you think you are? Just because it offends your taboo, we have to change our name? What if... I say no?"

Meng Huo was a man of spirit; he wouldn't change the name just because of one sentence from Ye Yuan.

Besides, it wasn't his decision alone.

Changing the name would have too great an impact on the guild. The other bosses would never agree to it lightly.

Moreover, even if they did change the name, it couldn't be because of some kid.

If word got out, how could the Dragon-Slaying Guild maintain its foothold in the South City?

Ye Yuan said calmly, "I'll give you three days to consider. After three days, I'll come again. If you still refuse to change the name by then... then all your branch halls will be destroyed! If you don't believe me, feel free to try."
