Both Zhao Banshan and his son Zhao Tiancheng are very cunning.

In their letter to Ye Zhong, they did not mention that Fang Han had killed Qingshan Daoist of the Longyuan Sword Sect and several outer disciples, even though Qingshan Daoist was already in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Ye Zhong usually considers himself the number one expert in Yanming City, but in reality, he is only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he knew that Fang Han was able to kill a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm expert like Daoist Qingshan, he would definitely not regard Fang Han as an arrogant and ignorant junior so easily.

It should be noted that the mid-Foundation Establishment stage experts of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect are far more powerful than ordinary experts of the same level due to their unique cultivation system and profound sect foundation.

More importantly, Ye Zhong's cultivation level was not achieved through his own hard work, but rather through the accumulation of a large number of pills.

This resulted in him being at the bottom of the combat power rankings among martial artists of the same level.

Compared to Master Qingshan, he was not only a level lower in cultivation, but also far inferior in actual combat ability.

If he were to truly confront Fang Han head-on, he would most likely be defeated by Fang Han in an instant, without any chance to fight back.

"I, the city lord, will definitely take care of this matter. Just wait for my good news about taking down Fang Han."

Soon, Ye Zhong also took out a pen and ink, wrote a simple reply, and had his subordinates deliver it to the messenger from the Zhao family.

He could not personally deal with Fang Han because he dared not offend the Prince of Zhenbei.

However, he believed that a big shot like Guo Tianyi, the Commandant of Tianyuan County, would soon take action against the Fang family.

The Zhao family, unaware of the situation, assumed that it was he who had dealt with the Fang family and that they would definitely thank him in the future.

Meanwhile, the core members of the Zhao family, who were hiding in a secret underground chamber in the suburbs, soon received the letter written by Fang Han, which put their minds at ease.

Because Zhao Banshan and his son Zhao Tiancheng knew very well that Ye Zhong was not one to play games; if he promised to take care of this matter, he definitely would.

As morning approached, news spread that the Su family, in order to cure Su Qianyu's illness, had pretended to marry Su Qianyu off to Fang Han, but secretly turned Fang Han into a medicine man.

Furthermore, the Su family colluded with the Zhao family to seize the Fang family's property. The murder of Su Yuande and the crippling of Su Yuanwu, as well as the killing of Zhao Jian and the burning of the Zhao family's manor, were all the work of the Fang family.

This news shocked many people.

Many people believe that the Su family and the Zhao family colluded to destroy the Fang family, but they do not believe that the Fang family can suppress the Su family and the Zhao family.

After all, the Zhao family has a high-level Martial Grandmaster, while the Fang family's patriarch, Fang Gaoyang, is only a mid-level Martial Grandmaster, and there are even rumors that the Fang family's second-best expert, Fang Sihai, has been crippled.

Logically speaking, it should have been an easy task for the Zhao family to deal with the Fang family.

Moreover, now that news has spread that Su Qianyu is going to marry Wu Lei of the Wu family, the number one family in Yanming City, if Su Yuande is really killed, wouldn't Su Qianyu let the Wu family deal with the Fang family?

By the afternoon, news that the Feng family of Tianyuan County had stopped buying ore from the Fang family and that they had imposed a blockade on the Fang family had reached Yanming City.

This made the people of Yanming City even more convinced that the Fang family had offended so many people and was definitely doomed.

Many people do not believe that the Fang family has the ability to severely damage the Su and Zhao families. They think that it must be a powerful force that came to Yanming City that made the Su and Zhao families bow down.

The usually peaceful city of Yanming now gives off a feeling of impending doom.

...

At this moment, in the flower garden of the luxurious and elegant manor of the Wu family, the number one family in Yanming City, Su Qianyu and Wu Lei were strolling hand in hand, looking extremely affectionate.

Wu Lei, this young master of noble status, is the only grandson of Wu Haomiao, the head of the Wu family.

Although his father, Wu Jianbo, has not yet officially succeeded to the position of family head, he has already begun to manage the two core industries of the Wu family, mining and weapon refining, which are of vital importance. His status in the family is second only to his father, Wu Haomiao.

In contrast, Fang Zhendong of the Fang family and Zhao Tiancheng of the Zhao family both ascended to the position of family head in their early forties and held great power in their families.

Wu Haomiao is now eighty years old, and Wu Jianbo is fifty, yet Wu Jianbo has not yet taken over as head of the family.

The reason behind this is actually not complicated. Wu Haomiao, a man who is still vigorous despite his old age, has reached the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. With his powerful strength, his lifespan can be extended to nearly two hundred years.

For him, eighty years old is the prime of his life, and he naturally still firmly holds the highest power in the family.

The reason why the Wu family has been able to maintain its position as the number one family in Yanming City is not only due to Wu Haomiao's strength, but more importantly, because one of the Wu family's ancestors is cultivating in the Qingxuan Sect.

"Brother Lei, you have to help me get revenge! Look, my father died tragically at Fang Han's hands, my uncle's cultivation was crippled by him, and my mother was forced to disappear without a trace. He also went on a killing spree in my Su family, slaughtering nearly a hundred elite members. Now the Fang family has burned down the Zhao family's manor, causing such a huge commotion. Moreover, Fang Han has openly declared that he will cause trouble during our wedding. There are only a few days left until our wedding, and we'd better find a way to get rid of this major threat, Fang Han, as soon as possible."

Su Qianyu spoke to Wu Lei in a soft, sweet voice, her tone full of pitiful vulnerability.

In front of Wu Lei, she acted like a little bird clinging to him, as if she were just a weak woman who needed to rely on him.

Upon closer inspection, her hand, which had been severed by Fang Han, was now completely healed, without a single trace, as if she had never been injured.

Not only that, her cultivation level has also made significant progress, and her entire demeanor has undergone a noticeable change. She is now a mid-level martial artist.
