The essence blood of a Beast King-level demon beast is a rare treasure, containing endless spiritual energy and immense power. Fang Han knew its value well. After taking the essence blood, he turned around and handed the porcelain bottle to Tantai Qiuyue, who was standing beside him, saying, "Here, take this. This essence blood can help you temper your body, improve your physique, and help you break through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm as soon as possible."
Tantai Qiuyue was slightly taken aback, then a faint smile appeared on her lips. Without any hesitation, she accepted the porcelain bottle with both hands and said softly, "Thank you."
At this moment, the deafening sounds of battle on the North Mountain finally subsided, as if a brief calm had returned after a storm.
Because all the demonic beasts were completely wiped out in this short period of time, without exception.
Fang Han secretly transmitted a few words to Tantai Qiuyue using his divine sense. Then, he used his powerful divine sense to transmit a message to everyone on North Mountain: "Everyone, according to my investigation, there are small groups of demonic beasts lurking in the valleys on the east and west sides of North Mountain. Now, we will go to hunt them down. In order to avoid disturbing the demonic beasts, please keep quiet and do not make any noise."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Soon, the soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division, the experts from aristocratic families, and the people of Tianyi City, led by Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue, set off towards the valley to the east.
These two valleys, seemingly peaceful and unremarkable, actually conceal hidden secrets.
There were no lurking monsters there; it was clearly the hiding place of Marquis Li Hong and City Lord Wu Tian.
They originally thought they could stay out of it and watch the battle against the monsters, but little did they know that Fang Han had already seen through everything.
Fang Han secretly made a few hand seals to completely conceal the auras of both teams.
In this way, they could approach the Marquis of Champion and his men silently without alerting the city lord Wu Tian and his men.
When Fang Han, Tantai Qiuyue, and others suddenly appeared in front of City Lord Wu Tian and his daughter Wu Hanchun, the father and daughter, as well as the thousands of city defense soldiers behind them, were instantly dumbfounded.
Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun originally thought that the silence in the North Mountain meant that Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue had been eaten by those ferocious monsters.
To their utter surprise, the two people appeared before them completely unharmed, without a single scratch.
"Lord Wu, you're just sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight! As the lord of Tianyi City, you should be shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the city and its people. But while our soldiers from the Demon Suppression Division are fighting bloody battles on the front lines, and the people and experts from noble families are also preparing to go into battle to kill the demons, you're hiding in this valley watching the show. Is this acceptable?"
Fang Han's gaze was cold and stern, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm and questioning.
Wu Tian's face turned deathly pale instantly. He quickly waved his hand and said urgently, "Mr. Fang, that's not how it is. We just arrived here."
It should be noted that those who came with Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue were not only soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division, but also many citizens and experts from aristocratic families in Tianyi City.
In the valley, the city's garrison soldiers lay or sat, their expressions languid, seemingly oblivious to the fierce battle against the monsters not far away, showing no sign of tension.
Fang Han's gaze was like two incredibly sharp swords, fixed intently on Wu Tian, his eyes exuding an undeniable authority. He then pressed on, asking, "Did you really just arrive here?"
His voice was deep and powerful, as if carrying an invisible pressure that made the surrounding air freeze.
Seeing this, Wu Hanchun felt a sense of foreboding and knew that he had to step forward to help his father out of this predicament. Despite his anxiety, he mustered his courage and said, "That's right, Mr. Fang. We've only been here for less than a breath. We haven't even had time to figure out what's going on yet!"
In any case, she and her father Wu Tian had already made up their minds to stick to the story that they had just arrived, hoping to use this to deceive everyone and escape the crisis at hand.
However, Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun's flawed explanation was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly drawing widespread skepticism.
In the crowd, people whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with disdain and suspicion, as if silently saying, "Your lies are so clumsy."
"A breath? Hmph, look at those horses, they don't even show the slightest sign of panting. How can that be a breath? They're clearly lying!"
Someone in the crowd shouted those words first, their voice filled with anger and sarcasm.
Fang Han's gaze fell on Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun again, his voice as cold as the winter wind: "Now that demonic beasts are rampant and ravaging the world, you, as the city lord, bear the heavy responsibility of protecting this region, yet you are so negligent at this moment, turning a blind eye to the attack of demonic beasts. This is a serious dereliction of duty. According to the law, I can directly behead you and display your head to the public as a warning to others."
Fang Han's words immediately caused a huge uproar among the public and the experts of the powerful families, with discussions flowing like a tide, one wave after another.
“The city lord and the city defense army definitely didn’t just arrive. They must have been here a long time ago, but they’ve been hiding here, holding back their troops.”
A burly, powerfully trained expert from a prestigious family spoke angrily, his eyes revealing his dissatisfaction and disappointment with the city lord and the city defense forces.
“I think they’ve been here for at least half an hour, otherwise how could they be resting so leisurely? A large number of demonic beasts are attacking, and we ordinary people are fighting hard to resist them, but they are just sitting here and doing nothing. Lord City Lord, shouldn’t you give us a reasonable explanation?”
An elderly man with white hair was trembling with anger, and questioned the man in a trembling voice.
The clamor of voices made City Lord Wu Tian's face flush red and then pale, extremely embarrassed, as if he had been slapped in public several times, so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He couldn't understand how Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue managed to escape unscathed from the siege of so many demonic beasts, and how none of the civilians and aristocratic experts who came with them seemed to be injured.
This is absolutely incredible!
He had been looking forward to seeing Fang Han die a horrible death at the hands of the demonic beasts, but he never expected that Fang Han would turn the tables and force him into a desperate situation, leaving him in this awkward predicament.
