Chapter 2669: Swift and Decisive!

"Many thanks, Master Ye!"

Huang Haoyan and his companion respectfully bowed deeply to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan had indeed given them a tremendous opportunity, one that would benefit them endlessly.

Both could sense that some of the effects of the Great Ultimate Creation Pill still lingered in their bodies.

In the future, it would be gradually uncovered.

The two couldn't help but sigh—knowing Ye Yuan itself was an immense fortune.

Otherwise, they would likely be dead by now, let alone breaking through to the Boundless Heavenly Position.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I, Ye Yuan, have never been stingy with my own people. But toward enemies, I have never shown mercy."

His words made everyone's expression change.

This was clearly not just for the two of them, but for everyone present!

As long as you follow me, Ye Yuan, there will be plenty of benefits in the future.

But if you oppose me,

I'm sorry, your fate may be very grim.

"Kid, are you trying to sway people with genuine heavenly pills? How ridiculous! For others, these genuine heavenly pills are nothing but castles in the air! You want to use this to whet everyone's appetite and get them to support you as the Third Hall Master? Hah, tell me, if you become the Third Hall Master, what benefits do we get?" Tie Xin sneered.

Having witnessed the power of the genuine heavenly pill, Tie Xin was also greatly shocked.

But the more so, the more it corroborated his argument.

Ye Yuan ignored him, instead sweeping his gaze over everyone and said calmly, "Don't say I, Ye Yuan, didn't give you a chance! Now, who else wants to withdraw from the Tiannan Alchemy Hall? Step forward!"

"This... this is taking sides!"

"If we withdraw from the Tiannan Alchemy Hall, we'll definitely have no chance with genuine heavenly pills!"

"Hah, are you overthinking? Do you think staying means you'll have a chance at genuine heavenly pills?"

...

Many faces showed hesitation.

Even the vassal forces of the three great families were now wavering.

After all, the genuine heavenly pill was too powerful!

"Hah, it seems the two Hall Masters are determined to break with us three great families! Fine, my Min family is the first to withdraw from the Tiannan Alchemy Hall!" Min Nanshan sneered.

"I withdraw!"

"I withdraw too!"

...

As soon as Min Nanshan stepped forward, vassal families of the Min family immediately followed.

However, the number was much smaller than before—less than half!

Clearly, some families were still hesitating!

Min Nanshan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a surge of alarm.

The big move Ye Yuan had just made was too impactful.

The resolve of some families had already crumbled.

"Hmph! Do you think staying in the Tiannan Alchemy Hall will get you genuine heavenly pills? How naive!" Min Nanshan snorted coldly.

He needed to push these people!

But it had little effect!

Those hesitating had already formed their own thoughts; how could they change easily?

Yet what made Min Nanshan even more uneasy were Song Tianyang and Yun Boyu!

He had clearly stated his stance, yet these two had not immediately echoed him!

Min Nanshan looked over and saw that both were clearly hesitating!

The vassal families of these two, seeing their family heads unmoved, naturally dared not speak rashly.

"Song Tianyang, Yun Boyu, what are you waiting for?" Min Nanshan said gravely.

Just then, Yun Boyu let out a deep breath, as if he had made a decision.

Seeing this, Min Nanshan was overjoyed.

Suddenly, Yun Boyu bowed deeply to Ye Yuan and said, "I, Yun, was blinded by greed and offended the Third Hall Master! My Yun family is willing to accept punishment!"

"Yun Boyu, you!" Min Nanshan's face changed drastically, his eyes as if he wanted to devour Yun Boyu alive.

Zhao Xun and Wu Ji'an exchanged glances, a glint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Ye Yuan's big move had indeed worked!

As soon as Ye Yuan made his move, it was a genuine heavenly emperor pill—the impact on the two family heads was immense.

As long as the three great families were divided, even if the Min family truly seceded, it wouldn't matter.

What a brilliant move!

The two looked at Ye Yuan with different eyes now.

"Song Tianyang pays respects to the Third Hall Master! My Song family is also willing to accept punishment!" Suddenly, Song Tianyang also bowed to Ye Yuan.

Inside the hall, the big shots were all shocked.

Originally, the two Hall Masters had been backed into a corner.

Who would have thought that with Ye Yuan's move, the situation would reverse dramatically, with both family heads defecting at once!

Min Nanshan and Tie Xin were dumbfounded.

The three families had agreed to advance and retreat together, yet at this critical moment, the Song and Yun families both switched sides!

Now, it was Min Nanshan who was caught in a dilemma!

Tie Xin was just an outsider; the upheaval in the Tiannan Alchemy Hall had little to do with him.

But the Min family was different!

With only his family withdrawing, they would be isolated and helpless!

Without the support of the other two great families, even if he had reached the Fourth-Rank Peak Heavenly Alchemist, how could he stand against the Tiannan Alchemy Hall?

A faint, barely perceptible smile flickered at the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth.

In truth, it wasn't that Tie Xin's methods were flawed; he had simply underestimated Ye Yuan's strength.

Who could resist the temptation of a genuine heavenly emperor pill?

Besides, he still had a trump card!

"The Song and Yun families challenged the authority of the Tiannan Alchemy Hall, tantamount to rebellion! Now, I strip you two of your elder positions. Do you... accept?" Ye Yuan said sternly.

At these words, everyone's expression changed.

These two families had just submitted, and he directly stripped them of their elder positions—wasn't that pushing them away?

An elder position represented too much.

This punishment was undeniably severe!

Hearing this, Min Nanshan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Song Tianyang, Yun Boyu, how ridiculous you are! He doesn't even buy it!"

Song and Yun's faces also changed drastically, but they gritted their teeth and said, "Song Tianyang (Yun Boyu) accepts with all his heart!"

Everyone was astonished again; no one expected them to accept so meekly!

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over the crowd and said solemnly, "The Tiannan region, with the Myriad Demon Mountains to the north and the Jihan Sea Clan to the south, exists in a tight spot! Therefore, unity is paramount! Those who harm Tiannan's interests for personal gain should be expelled! Today, in my capacity as the Third Hall Master, I declare the Min family permanently expelled!"

Everyone's hearts sank—such decisive methods!

But it wasn't over yet.

Ye Yuan continued, "However, since we are to be united, I naturally won't hoard my knowledge! Within half a month, each alchemy family present shall select five elite disciples and send them to the Tiannan Alchemy Hall! I will personally teach them! Additionally, I will discuss with the First and Second Hall Masters to establish a standard! Anyone who meets this standard will have the opportunity to receive genuine heavenly pills! Of course, I also hope that in the future, some of you will be able to refine genuine heavenly pills!"
