“Lord Wu, this is Mr. Fang Han. His attitude is my attitude.”
Tantai Qiuyue, who was already tall and straight, suddenly stood up and stared intently at Wu Tian. Her voice was strong and clear: "Lord Wu, the brave soldiers of our Demon Suppression Division who sacrificed their lives in Tianyi City, they risked their lives to protect the peace of this region. They must be given a proper burial. This is to show respect to their heroic spirits."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, his eyes filled with contempt and arrogance.
He spoke slowly, "Commander Tantai, as the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. You're just an outsider. What gives you the audacity to speak so forcefully to me on my own turf in Tianyi City? If you had pleaded with me about this, perhaps I could have considered it out of consideration for our shared cultivation. But now, with your forceful stance, there's no room for negotiation. After all, you're merely the commander of the Demon Suppression Division in Tianyuan Prefecture. You're not the all-powerful Zhenbei King. Don't overestimate your position."
Fang Han looked directly at Wu Tian and slowly asked, "City Lord Wu, is this your final decision?"
Before Wu Tian could respond, Fang Han abruptly changed the subject, his tone suddenly becoming sharp: "If that's the case, then you are not qualified to participate in the grand funeral ceremony for the fallen soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division. Now I'm telling you clearly, the Demon Suppression Division can bury these fallen brothers wherever it wants, and no one can stop it. If you dare to obstruct or try to stop it, I, Fang Han, will definitely cut off your head first as a warning to others."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's eyes widened in anger, his facial muscles trembled slightly, and he shouted angrily, "How dare you be so arrogant! How dare you act so presumptuously in my Tianyi City Lord's Mansion? You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! You even dare to threaten me? I'll twist off your head right now."
His aura surged, and he was about to attack Fang Han.
"Lord City Lord, something terrible has happened!"
Just then, a man with a panicked expression rushed into the reception room like a gust of wind, staggering and panting as he shouted to Wu Tian.
This guy was the servant who had witnessed Fang Han teaching Wu Hanchun a lesson from the shadows.
Wu Tian frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He exclaimed in alarm, "A-Yue, what... what did you say? Who knocked Miss unconscious? Explain yourself!"
The servant, A Yue, was filled with resentment. He pointed at Fang Han and said through gritted teeth, "It's this kid. For some reason, he and Tantai Qiuyue had a fierce argument with Miss. Without saying a word, this kid slapped her across the face, sending her flying. Miss only said that Tantai Qiuyue was a vixen who seduced the Marquis of Champion, and asked why they were idly running to the City Lord's Mansion instead of hunting monsters to help protect the city. This guy suddenly attacked her. It's really too much."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian instantly flew into a rage, his eyes widening like copper bells, his gaze sharp as if he wanted to pierce through Fang Han.
He pointed at Fang Han and roared, "Did you knock my daughter unconscious?"
Fang Han remained calm, a slight sneer on his lips, and said disdainfully, "That's right, she's an ill-mannered person. As her father, you didn't educate her properly, allowing her to speak so recklessly and humiliate others at will. Then I can only teach her a lesson on your behalf."
Enraged, Wu Tian roared, "Who do you think you are, daring to lecture my daughter? You're courting death!"
After saying that, he moved swiftly, appearing in front of Fang Han like a ghost, and struck Fang Han with a palm carrying a sharp gust of wind.
Upon seeing this, Tantai Qiuyue immediately moved, flashing past like lightning, and also struck out with her palm, colliding fiercely with Wu Tian's palm.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, like a thunderclap, the energy from the two men's palms scattered in all directions, forming a powerful airflow that caused the surrounding tables and chairs to sway slightly.
Looking at the two again, Tantai Qiuyue's posture remained upright and her body did not move at all, as stable as a rock rooted in the earth.
Wu Tian staggered back several steps, his face turning as pale as paper, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, he had suffered a great loss in this exchange, his blood and qi churning as if his internal organs had shifted.
Wu Tian was secretly pleased with himself. He believed that he was more than 30 years older than Tantai Qiuyue and had entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment more than ten years earlier than her. He thought that he had far more time and experience in cultivation than Tantai Qiuyue, so he always felt that his strength was definitely much stronger than Tantai Qiuyue's.
But in this exchange, the difference in strength was immediately apparent. Tantai Qiuyue was actually much stronger than him, which both shocked and angered him.
He had no idea that Tantai Qiuyue was originally only slightly better than him.
This time, however, Fang Han infused Tantai Qiuyue's body with pure true energy, and he also gave her precious pills and the Taiyin Scripture, allowing her to undergo a complete transformation, making her strength vastly different from before.
After defeating Wu Tian, Tantai Qiuyue's eyes were as cold as frost, and she said in a chilling voice, "City Lord Wu, it was your daughter who humiliated me first. You'd better not act rashly. If you insist on standing up for your daughter and becoming an enemy of my Demon Suppression Division, the consequences will be more than you can bear."
"Tantai Qiuyue, are you really willing to become my enemy and openly offend me for the sake of this brat named Fang Han?"
Wu Tian was burning with rage and wanted to teach Fang Han another lesson, but when he thought of Tantai Qiuyue's strength and Fang Han's mysterious background, he was filled with apprehension. He could only suppress his anger, glare at Tantai Qiuyue with wide eyes, and grit his teeth as he spoke.
