Chapter 2666: Joint Boycott

"Hehe, Deputy City Lord Iron is joking! That's a genuine Heaven-grade pill. I heard that Jiang Li only took a second-grade genuine Heaven-grade pill, and he stepped into the Jade Emperor Heaven realm! This news should be true, right?" Min Nanshan said meaningfully.

Tie Xin nodded and said, "It's true! But, do you have a share in the genuine Heaven-grade pill?"

At these words, the three family heads all changed expression.

These three families now held pivotal positions in Tiannan City.

The three family heads were also fourth-grade Heaven Alchemists, only slightly inferior to the two hall masters.

Even Zhao Xun relied heavily on the three families.

And what Tie Xin said was exactly what they worried about most.

"After the First Hall Master and Second Hall Master returned, you saw that they have been in seclusion. With their strength, it's probably not difficult for them to break through to the genuine grade. By then, with genuine-grade pills in hand, their status will be transcendent. At that time, what will be left for your three great families?" Tie Xin sneered.

Genuine-grade pills were definitely a major weapon!

Jiang Li's breakthrough shocked everyone.

The key point was that what enabled his breakthrough was a second-grade Heaven-grade pill.

That was impressive!

Tie Xin's words made the three family heads change color drastically.

It wasn't that they couldn't see through this layer, but they were somewhat unwilling to believe it.

After all, in the Tiannan Alchemy Hall, the status of the three great families was very important.

But as Tie Xin said, if the two hall masters mastered the genuine-grade technique and used it to command Tiannan, who would dare disobey?

Min Nanshan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Deputy City Lord Tie, what should we do?"

A knowing smile appeared on Tie Xin's face.

...

That day, the Tiannan Alchemy Hall was unprecedentedly grand.

Various cities under Tiannan City sent distinguished powerful figures.

In the land of Tiannan, the Tiannan Alchemy Hall had always held a transcendent status.

The deterrent power of Heaven Alchemists was that strong.

Of course, many came because of the reputation of genuine-grade pills.

"Haha, congratulations, Master Ye, on becoming the Third Hall Master of Tiannan Alchemy Hall! Our Shuilan City shares in the honor!" Sun Yunjing immediately clasped his hands to Ye Yuan.

Beside him, Su Yi's expression was very unpleasant, and he said in a deep voice, "Master Ye's promotion to Third Hall Master, what does it have to do with your Shuilan City? He came from our Dingnan City; if anyone shares in the honor, it's our Dingnan City!"

Sun Yunjing didn't mind and laughed heartily, "Hehe, this city lord and Master Ye became friends through a fight!"

Su Yi's face darkened and was about to retort, but Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, both city lords, I appreciate your sentiments."

Since Ye Yuan had spoken, Su Yi naturally couldn't make a scene.

On the side, Huang Haoyan and Su Peiyun also came forward to greet him.

There were too many people at the moment, so Ye Yuan had no time to talk much and only asked them to go in and take their seats.

"Min Family Head, Min Nanshan, arrives!"

"Song Family Head, Song Tianyang, arrives!"

"Yun Family Head, Yun Boyu, arrives!"

At these announcements, everyone's expression changed.

Even Zhao Xun and Wu Ji'an frowned.

Clearly, they sensed something unusual.

"Usually, these three great families don't pay each other any mind. Why did they come together today?"

"Family Head Min has been striving for the title of Third Hall Master for many years. But now, it's completely hopeless!"

"Their intentions are not good! I'm afraid there's going to be a good show!"

...

Everyone present was a big shot in Tiannan.

There were even a large number of Jade Emperor Heaven powerhouses.

These people were all shrewd; how could they not know the ins and outs of the Tiannan Alchemy Hall?

Ye Yuan's sudden arrival impacted the three families the most.

It would be strange if they didn't take some measures!

"Min Nanshan greets the First Hall Master and Second Hall Master!"

"Song Tianyang greets the two hall masters!"

"Yun Boyu greets the two hall masters!"

The three came forward, clasped their hands to the two hall masters, and completely ignored Ye Yuan beside them.

Zhao Xun frowned slightly but couldn't lose his temper.

He was about to introduce Ye Yuan when he saw the three go straight into the venue.

Everyone looked at each other—what a strong show of disrespect!

This grand event today was held for the Third Hall Master Ye Yuan, yet they didn't even acknowledge the Third Hall Master.

Zhao Xun was a bit embarrassed and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, I'll deal with these three later for sure!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's a small matter; First Hall Master need not mind."

Zhao Xun was somewhat surprised to find that Ye Yuan was completely unruffled.

This magnanimity was definitely not feigned.

Ye Yuan was young, with such terrifying talent, yet he could have such a temperament—truly formidable!

Every genius was proud and couldn't tolerate any offense.

But Ye Yuan was different!

After some pleasantries, the banquet officially began.

Zhao Xun raised his wine glass and said loudly, "Today, I introduce to you a young genius! Although he has just arrived, he has already made great contributions to Tiannan! Meeting him, I realized I was a frog at the bottom of a well! Don't doubt it, and it's not modesty on my part. If he were now a fourth-grade Heaven Alchemist, I would immediately give up my position as First Hall Master!"

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Ye's willingness to join our Tiannan Alchemy Hall! From today on, he will be our Tiannan Alchemy Hall's..."

"First Hall Master!"

Just then, Min Nanshan suddenly stood up, interrupting Zhao Xun's words.

Immediately, everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Zhao Xun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Min Nanshan, what do you want?"

Min Nanshan said calmly, "I think this decision by the two hall masters is too hasty!"

"How dare you! Do I need your interference in what I do?" Zhao Xun shouted coldly.

But Min Nanshan was not afraid at all and said calmly, "This kid is only a second-grade Heaven Alchemist. What qualifies him to sit on the throne of Third Hall Master? If he becomes Third Hall Master, where does that leave us fourth-grade Heaven Alchemists?"

Zhao Xun sneered, "He qualifies because he can refine genuine-grade Heaven pills!"

Min Nanshan smiled and said, "First Hall Master, none of us have ever seen a genuine-grade Heaven pill! I have no objection to you saying he has made contributions to the land of Tiannan. But Tiannan is Tiannan, and the Tiannan Alchemy Hall is the Tiannan Alchemy Hall. He has not rendered any service here, yet he becomes Third Hall Master—on what basis?"

"Indeed! First Hall Master, our Song family also finds it inappropriate!" At this moment, Song Tianyang also stood up to support Min Nanshan.

Yun Boyu also said, "First Hall Master, our three families have worked tirelessly and made many contributions to the Tiannan Alchemy Hall. Now a mere second-grade Heaven Alchemist wants to ride over our heads?"

Zhao Xun's expression turned extremely ugly.

He had never expected the three families to react so fiercely.

And with the three families taking the lead, many other families also expressed opposition, making it even harder for them to back down.

In the crowd, Tie Xin looked at Ye Yuan with a face full of mockery.

"Hehe, kid, you're still too green to fight me! This is just the beginning. Once I drive you out of Tiannan City, I'll see you off on your way!" Tie Xin sneered in his heart.
