Chapter 1557: Hit Him! Hit Him Hard!

"G-g-great master, I had eyes but failed to see! I... I'll get out of your sight right now!"

Guo Xingwang had thought Ye Yuan was a soft persimmon, but it turned out he was an iron plate.

"Stop!" Ye Yuan suddenly said coldly.

Guo Xingwang's body stiffened, forcing a smile uglier than tears, and said, "Ye... Ye Master, what are your orders?"

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "What happened to him?"

Huang Qian was his patient. He had just healed him, and then he was beaten like this. Ye Yuan was quite annoyed.

Although their positions differed, he had a fairly good impression of the uncle and nephew.

Most importantly, Huang Qian was one of his proud works.

That Purple Feather Marrow Erosion was indeed very tricky, and it was an extremely rare test for him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent two hours taking Huang Qian's pulse.

In fact, he had already guessed most of the shady dealings at Deyi Hall when he saw Huang Qian.

It was nothing more than Wu Feng feeling greatly humiliated and taking his anger out on the uncle and nephew.

Given Huang Qian's condition, Huang Haoran was probably in grave danger.

Ye Yuan wasn't some soft-hearted fool. These two had little to do with him, and he didn't need to stand up for them.

But the fact that Deyi Hall had pursued them here still displeased him greatly.

"This... this..." Guo Xingwang stammered, not knowing how to answer.

Ye Yuan said coldly, "If you caught him outside, I wouldn't care and wouldn't bother. But you dared to beat my patient like this inside Miaoshou Hall—do you think you can just walk away?"

Guo Xingwang's face turned extremely ugly, and he said awkwardly, "Ye Master, I... I know I was wrong!"

Ye Yuan snorted coldly, "Death may be spared, but punishment cannot be avoided!"

Guo Xingwang was bitter inside, but with a Divine Lord realm powerhouse here, he really didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to say, "Ye Master... what do you want?"

In fact, Guo Xingwang was slightly relieved—at least he had saved his life.

Ye Yuan glanced at his subordinates and said flatly, "You, give him a good beating! Not too hard, just enough to have him carried back lying down."

"Pfft!"

Ning Siyu and Liang Wanru couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ye Yuan's idea was too wicked.

Everyone opposite stiffened, and the subordinates looked at Guo Xingwang with strange expressions.

Guo Xingwang said in a deep voice, "Who dares to make a move?"

"If no one moves, I'll have to ask Brother Xiao to step in," Ye Yuan said flatly.

Guo Xingwang wanted to curse, but he didn't dare!

So, with a bitter face, he pointed at himself and said, "Hit me! H-hard! Hit hard!"

The subordinates looked at each other, none daring to strike first.

Seeing Ye Yuan's expression grow darker, Guo Xingwang finally exploded.

"Damn it! Didn't you hear me tell you to hit? Do you all want to die? Hit!" Guo Xingwang put on a look of martyrdom and said fiercely.

Seeing Guo Xingwang's antics, the two girls covered their mouths and laughed, and even Xiao Feng was amused.

That kid Ye Yuan had so many tricks up his sleeve.

Seeing their boss like this, the subordinates reluctantly started hitting.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

After a flurry of punches and kicks, Guo Xingwang was rolling on the ground, his face bruised and swollen.

Although his subordinates were weaker than him, he didn't dare to resist now, so he naturally suffered physical pain.

But Ye Yuan was still unsatisfied and snorted coldly, "I said he should be carried out lying down! Don't forget who I am—you can't fool my eyes about the extent of his injuries!"

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, Guo Xingwang spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted, "Did you bastards not eat? Put some muscle into it! At this rate, you'll be hitting until tomorrow morning!"

Painful as it was, how could the subordinates dare to go all out?

If they used too much divine essence and incurred the hatred of their half-step Divine Lord boss, they wouldn't even know how they died.

So they hit, but they couldn't cause real harm to Guo Xingwang.

Yet this kind of beating made Guo Xingwang suffer even more.

The feeling of every punch landing on flesh wasn't pleasant.

With his roar, the subordinates knew there was no escape today, so they had to unleash their divine essence and lay into Guo Xingwang.

In no time, Guo Xingwang was gasping for breath, unable to speak.

"Alright, get lost!" Ye Yuan said sternly.

The subordinates felt as if they had been granted amnesty, carrying Guo Xingwang away in a flash.

The neighbors who didn't know what was happening looked on in surprise.

"Isn't that Guo Xingwang, the chief protector of Deyi Hall? I think I saw his subordinates beating him just now?"

"Seems like it! Does this guy have a self-abuse fetish? His own men beat him, and he doesn't even fight back?"

"No, that's not right! They came out of Miaoshou Zhai... Could it be... they offended Master Ye?"

"Master Ye is only at the initial Return to Void stage. Why are these people so afraid of him? Tsk tsk, Master Ye is truly unfathomable!"

...

Ning Siyu and Liang Wanru were already doubled over with laughter.

"Hehe, Master Ye, you're too wicked! How can he hold his head up in front of his subordinates after this?" Ning Siyu laughed loudly.

Ye Yuan curled his lip and said, "What's that got to do with me? They came to provoke me first! I won't trouble others unless they trouble me; if they trouble me, heh!"

Ye Yuan had the shopkeeper clean up and led everyone to the inner hall.

Ye Yuan channeled a wisp of divine essence into Huang Qian's body, and soon he woke up groggily.

"Did your second uncle get poisoned to death by Wu Feng?" Ye Yuan asked.

At the mention of Wu Feng's name, Huang Qian's eyes turned bloodshot, and the muscles on his face trembled.

"Wu Feng, that beast! I... I will definitely kill him!" Huang Qian gritted his teeth.

Ye Yuan sighed, reached out and placed his hand on Huang Qian's head, and a gentle soul force invaded Huang Qian's sea of consciousness.

Gradually, Huang Qian calmed down, becoming less agitated and much more serene.

Ye Yuan withdrew his hand and said, "Talk about it. It'll feel better to let it out."

...

When Wu Feng saw Guo Xingwang's miserable state, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Too miserable!

The guy was almost beaten beyond recognition.

"Who did this?" Wu Feng said in a deep voice.

The subordinates looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"It... it was us who hit him!" a subordinate said quietly.

"Huh? What happened? I sent you to catch someone, and you come back like this?" Wu Feng said darkly.

The subordinate recounted what had happened at Miaoshou Zhai, and Wu Feng's brow furrowed.

"That kid just came from outside the city, so why does he have a Divine Lord realm powerhouse backing him? Hmph! So what if he has a Divine Lord? Don't I have backers too? That kid opposes me time and again—does he really think I'm easy to push around? This time, I'm going to tear down your signboard and drive you out of the Tianying Imperial City!" Wu Feng snorted coldly.
