They frowned, their faces showing displeasure.
They never expected that Tantai Qiuyue would have such a powerful influence. With just a grand funeral ceremony for the soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division, she successfully won over the hearts of the people, causing the citizens of Tianyi City who were originally planning to flee to choose to stay.
"Everyone, this is the home you have lived in for generations. Now, monsters are rampant, and the situation is dire. The power of the Demon Suppression Division, the Demon Suppression Army, and the City Lord's Mansion alone may not be enough to completely stop the monsters' invasion. Therefore, we need everyone's concerted efforts to protect our home."
Taking advantage of the momentum, Tantai Qiuyue continued to mobilize.
Despite her young age, she is calm and experienced in her actions, showing the demeanor of a great general.
Fang Han observed all of this silently from the side, and couldn't help but secretly admire it.
At this time, Tantai Qiuyue was actually close to breaking through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This was thanks to Fang Han's generous help yesterday—he not only gave her a healing pill, but also taught her the profound technique of the Taiyin Scripture, and personally infused her with several streams of true energy to help her cultivate.
Fang Han couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the potential of the Taiyin Sacred Body was indeed extraordinary.
"Defend our homeland!"
"Defend our homeland!"
As soon as Tantai Qiuyue finished speaking, many experts from prominent families in Tianyi City responded, raising their arms and shouting, vowing to fight the demon beast to the death.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian, the city lord, and his daughter Wu Hanchun, who were hiding in the mountains not far away, grew increasingly grim upon hearing the deafening sound from the northern mountains.
"Hmph, you're all so high and mighty now, but wait until the monsters arrive, let's see how arrogant you'll be then!"
Wu Hanchun snorted coldly, her tone filled with disdain and resentment.
The sight of Tantai Qiuyue and the sound of her voice filled her with irritation.
Although she did her best to satisfy Champion Marquis Li Hong last night, Li Hong could not forget Tantai Qiuyue.
She even overheard Li Hong calling out Tantai Qiuyue's name in his sleep, which fueled her jealousy and resentment.
“That’s right. Once Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue are devoured by the demonic beasts, Tianyi City will still be under the control of me and the Marquis of Champion. The Marquis of Champion has already promised to mobilize 10,000 Demon Suppression Army soldiers to provide support. No matter how many demonic beasts there are, we will wipe them all out!”
City Lord Wu Tian echoed, his eyes gleaming with greed and ambition.
Now, he has completely become a lackey of the champion Hou Li Hong, and only wants to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy and seek personal gain.
“Father, from now on I will be the Queen, and you will likely become the Prefect of Tianyuan County.”
Wu Hanchun was also very excited. She felt that the Marquis's wife would be his sooner or later, and that the Marquis of Champion would eventually become a prince.
Meanwhile, in the valley where the champion was located, a cold smile appeared on his face.
"My lord, Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue have made quite a commotion. Do you think a lord-level demon beast would attack the people of the Demon Suppression Division?"
You Sanqian said to the Marquis of Champion, "If the people of the Demon Suppression Division can't even protect the people who came to the funeral today, then what Tantai Qiuyue said earlier will definitely become a laughing stock."
"Demonic beasts are very vengeful. Fang Han killed the Lord-level Tiger-faced Leopard, so he will definitely be targeted by even more powerful demonic beasts. Today, let's just wait and see what happens."
Champion Marquis laughed and said, "As long as we are not attacked by the monsters, we must not make a move. Of the people in Beishan, I will only save Tantai Qiuyue. This time, if Tantai Qiuyue is injured, I will not show her any mercy. I will take her directly."
"Yes. My lord, once you have Tantai Qiuyue, this woman will naturally submit to you and become infatuated with you. When the reinforcements sent by the prince arrive and sweep away the monsters in Tianyi City, you will have made the greatest contribution. At that time, you will definitely be rewarded by the king and become the youngest prince."
You Sanqian nodded.
Yesterday, his long sword was broken by Fang Han, which made him lose face. Of course, he wished Fang Han dead.
"Yes, we'll wait and see the show, and then we'll take down Tantai Qiuyue."
The champion's tone was full of pride.
Fang Han, of course, heard the conversation between City Lord Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun, as well as Champion Marquis Li Hong and You Sanqian.
His brow furrowed slightly.
He felt that these people were still scheming against each other at this time, which was truly despicable.
The Marquis of Champion is indeed a formidable man, capable of devising flawless strategies. However, with him around, he has a significant advantage over fate. How could the Marquis of Champion's scheme possibly succeed?
Not long after, Fang Han's divine sense stirred.
He sensed that a large number of demonic beasts had gathered from a large mountain to the north.
This mountain is connected to Yin Yang Mountain.
In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, these thousands of demonic beasts began their mighty charge towards the North Mountain.
This time, the monster leading the group was actually a beast king.
His actual strength is equivalent to that of a human master at the Divine Sense Realm.
"It's finally here."
Fang Han's heart stirred. Last time, he hadn't done much to those hundred or so demonic beasts. Today, he was going to unleash a massacre.
Moreover, he had already instructed the people of the Demon Suppression Bureau to prepare some containers for collecting essence blood. Once he killed a demon beast, he would have the people of the Demon Suppression Bureau collect the essence blood of the demon beast.
These essences and blood can be sold for a good price, or used to temper the body and enhance cultivation; they cannot be wasted.
