Chapter 2715: Cleaning House!

Ye Yuan patted his ox head and said with a smile, "What, not going to kill me anymore?"

Dahuang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "Master Ye's methods are unfathomable; it was Dahuang who was rude before! From now on, Dahuang will treat Master Ye with the respect due a teacher!"

If he still didn't understand why the Saint Venerable called Ye Yuan 'brother' by now, he would truly be an idiot.

A third-grade celestial pill had actually allowed him to break through to half-step Saint Emperor Heaven—it was simply inconceivable!

Calling it unfathomable was not an exaggeration.

Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Mm, after we return, I'll give you a list. If you can gather the celestial herbs, I'll naturally refine a Qiong Yao Saint Pill for you to help you break through to Saint Emperor Heaven."

Dahuang's body trembled, and he said in disbelief, "Is... is that true?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Otherwise, do you think Big Brother would be joking with you?"

Coming before Huben and the others, they bowed respectfully to Dahuang.

"Greetings, Commander Dahuang. Congratulations on breaking through to half-step Saint Emperor Heaven!"

Dahuang naturally felt superior to these few. He nodded and said, "You have good intentions. Today, the one in charge here is Master Ye. Just follow his orders."

"Master Ye?" The few of them trembled, unable to believe it.

What status did Commander Dahuang have? Yet he treated Ye Yuan with the respect due a teacher. What was the world coming to?

Ye Yuan had disappeared for a while and now, transformed, had become 'Master Ye'!

Although they had vaguely guessed earlier that Ye Yuan had probably formed a connection with Bull Demon Saint Venerable, that it had turned into this kind of relationship was still beyond belief!

Dahuang said calmly, "Master Ye has become sworn brothers with the Saint Venerable. Naturally, I address him as teacher!"

"What! Sworn... sworn brothers?" Huben King's body shook, and he nearly bit off his tongue.

At this moment, their joy at having Ye Yuan back turned into shock.

This was no joke!

A Wuji Heavenly Position cultivator becoming sworn brothers with a Saint Venerable—what kind of move was that?

After all, Ye Yuan had been like a hostage in their midst.

They had actually treated the Saint Venerable's sworn brother as a hostage!

This was a serious offense!

Although these few were half-step Saint Emperor Heaven, they didn't know about the tribulation that Saint Emperor Heaven cultivators had to undergo.

Naturally, they couldn't understand why Bull Demon Saint Venerable would do something so absurd.

"That's right! The Saint Venerable said that from now on, seeing Master Ye is the same as seeing him. If anyone makes things difficult for Master Ye, they are going against him!" Dahuang said calmly.

The five of them instantly looked extremely grim.

"Greetings... greetings, Master Ye!" Huben King was the first to react, speaking somewhat awkwardly.

"Greetings, Master Ye!" Wanxiang and the others bowed awkwardly.

There was even a strong sense of fear.

What they feared more was that Ye Yuan would settle scores later!

With a Saint Emperor Heaven as his backing, wiping them out would be easy!

Ye Yuan knew their worries well and said with a smile, "No need to be afraid. I don't intend to settle scores with you, and I'll still do what I promised. But for now, let's first deal with Huben King's family affairs."

"Family affairs?" Huben asked, bewildered.

At these words, Hefeng and the others behind Huben all changed expression.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don't you know that the ambush on me and Shuoyan at the Three Saint Mountain was the work of your sons?"

"What!" Huben's body shook, and he turned to look at his sons.

"Father, that's not true!" Shaba was the first to react, denying it outright.

"Yes, Father. Think about it—with our strength, how could we mobilize so many Yuhuang Heaven cultivators? Ye Yuan has found a big backer and is slandering us!" Hefeng also said indignantly.

Ziguang Zhanlang and the others had already hidden themselves.

Anyway, there was no evidence. As long as they refused to admit it, what could Ye Yuan do to them?

Huben frowned upon hearing this.

Although he doted on his youngest son Shuoyan, he couldn't execute nine sons on the basis of one sentence.

"Master Ye, although you are now sworn brothers with the Saint Venerable, you can't just falsely accuse people, right? I know their strength best; they couldn't possibly mobilize so many Yuhuang Heaven cultivators!" Huben said.

Hearing this, Hefeng and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Yuan with schadenfreude.

Shuoyan was young after all; hearing his brothers' sophistry, he was already burning with anger.

"Have you no shame? Eight-spotted Leopard and Ziguang Zhanlang both confessed, and you're still putting on an act here! I've always regarded you as my closest kin, yet you are so vicious!" Shuoyan said furiously.

"Little Sixteen, don't talk nonsense! We older brothers have always indulged and deferred to you! Father has seen that too! Now that you've found a big backer, you want to turn on your brothers? Little Sixteen, aren't you being too vicious?" Shaba said with a 'righteous' air.

"Little Sixteen, if you want to inherit Father's throne, you need to work hard yourself. Even if you kill us all, it won't help if your own strength is lacking!" Hefeng added.

Huben nodded deeply in agreement.

He could usually see how they behaved.

The other nine had indeed taken good care of Shuoyan.

But he didn't know that the situation had changed drastically in the past year.

"Little Sixteen, you've grown up. But this kind of tactic disappoints me greatly!" Huben sighed, melancholy.

"You... you..." Shuoyan was so anxious his face turned red.

Shuoyan realized he was still too naive.

A few words had left him speechless.

He really couldn't find evidence to refute them.

At this moment, Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and said unhurriedly, "Kid, no need to get so worked up. Today I'll teach you another lesson: in this world, words are all pale. Only strength is the true foundation!"

As his voice fell, a burst of soul attack surged forth.

Shaba grunted and fell dead on the spot.

Everyone present changed color.

No one expected Ye Yuan to kill someone without any justification!

"Ye Yuan, how dare you!" Huben roared in anger.

He had been on guard against Ye Yuan, but never expected Ye Yuan to kill Shaba instantly with a soul attack!

Ye Yuan ignored him and said calmly to Shuoyan, "I'll start; the rest is up to you."

Shuoyan's body shook, then he nodded deeply.

Since reasoning didn't work, he would just kill them!

Shuoyan was a man of blood at heart.

At this point, there was no reason to back down.

Huben's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Shuoyan, you dare!"

Dahuang snorted and said calmly, "I'd like to see who dares to make a move!"
