Upon hearing this, Fang Han's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, his eyes full of mockery.
He coldly replied, "The Champion Marquis's woman? Hmph, the Champion Marquis came to Tianyi City with the important task of exterminating the demonic beasts. If he fails in this task, he will also be held accountable. How dare you spout such nonsense here?"
Before he finished speaking, Fang Han's eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap to Wu Hanchun's face.
The slap was powerful, and Wu Hanchun's face instantly swelled up after being thrown back. She covered her face and got up, her eyes filled with anger.
Fang Han's gaze swept around, his expression stern, and he said loudly, "City Lord Wu, Wu Hanchun, listen up! Starting tomorrow, you must participate in the mission to exterminate the demonic beasts, and you must not slack off in the slightest. If you dare to disobey orders, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying that, Fang Han suddenly turned his horse around and led the entire Demon Suppression Division away in a grand procession.
Fang Han's purpose in this trip was naturally to find Champion Marquis Li Hong.
Upon seeing this, Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun quickly led the city defense troops and followed.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Marquis Li Hong, sitting on horseback, frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He turned to You Sanqian beside him and said, "The sounds of fighting have been gone for a long time, but I still feel uneasy. This situation seems a bit abnormal."
Upon hearing this, You Sanqian sighed softly, a look of regret on his face, and slowly said, "My lord, in my opinion, everyone on North Mountain must be dead. Alas, those people's deaths are not a pity, but if Miss Tantai Qiuyue also perished, it would truly be a tragedy that the heavens are jealous of beauty. After all, she was the top beauty on the list of beauties in Tianyuan County; her appearance and temperament were truly one in a million."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Li Hong shook his head slightly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, "She is more than just the most beautiful woman in Tianyuan County. I have traveled throughout the Nine Provinces of Yanlong Kingdom and visited many other countries, and seen all kinds of beautiful women, but I have never seen anyone as stunning as her. She is like a dazzling pearl, illuminating a piece of my heart."
At this point, Champion Hou sighed slightly, feeling quite regretful.
In his view, women are like clothes; once they're gone, you just replace them with new ones.
Even if a beauty of Wu Hanchun's caliber died, he wouldn't feel much heartache.
But at this moment, the thought that Tantai Qiuyue might be dead made him feel as if he had lost his most beloved treasure, leaving him feeling empty inside.
Little did he know that Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue were leading the people of the Demon Suppression Division, as well as the citizens of Tianyi City and experts from aristocratic families, on a non-stop journey, and were about to find him soon.
Along the way, City Lord Wu Tian, Wu Hanchun, and several deputy generals of the city defense army were very anxious. They deliberately made a lot of noise, hoping to send a message to the Marquis of Champion so that he could make preparations in advance.
They knew all too well that if Champion Hou were caught red-handed by Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue like they were, and found himself in a passive position, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But to their utter surprise, Fang Han was already prepared and had used magic to perfectly conceal the presence of the people from the Demon Suppression Division, as well as the common people and experts from aristocratic families.
No matter how loud their voices were, under the spell's blockade, they were like stones sinking into the sea, unable to reach the Champion Marquis's ears at all.
Looking at the Marquis's dejected appearance, You Sanqian gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, it's all Fang Han's fault. If it weren't for his interference, with your prestige and methods, you should have won over Miss Tantai Qiuyue long ago. How pleasant it would be to be with such a beauty then."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Champions' eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said, "If Fang Han's body hadn't been eaten by that Nine Nether Ice Lion, when I see him, I will definitely grind him to dust to vent my hatred!"
"Champion Marquis, when the demonic beasts attacked, you hid here and did not move, yet you kept saying you wanted to grind me to dust. What are your intentions? With such behavior, I can also kill you!"
But suddenly, a cold voice rang in his ear.
Champion Hou was shocked, and then he saw Fang Han appear in front of him.
"What...what's going on?"
Champion Hou felt his head buzz for a moment, and was instantly shocked, his face full of disbelief.
He instinctively took a step back, his body trembling slightly, his eyes filled with panic and confusion.
Fang Han's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he said coldly, "What's going on? Marquis Champion, you wouldn't be like City Lord Wu, making up an excuse that you just arrived here and don't know what happened in Beishan, would you? Hmph, such a lame excuse can't fool me, nor can it fool the people of Tianyi City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tantai Qiuyue led the people of the Demon Suppression Division, the people of Tianyi City, and the experts from those aristocratic families in a grand procession.
At this moment, the thousand Demon Suppression Army soldiers were all resting on the spot, a sight that completely exceeded the understanding of the people of Tianyi City and the experts of the aristocratic families.
The people of Tianyi City were immediately in an uproar, discussing the matter amongst themselves.
"These people from the Demon Suppression Army are just watching the show, just like the people from the City Lord's Mansion. While the people from the Demon Suppression Division were fighting desperately against the demon beasts, these people are leisurely resting here. What's going on?"
A burly man with a full beard, his face flushed with anger, roared loudly.
"If the Demon Suppression Division hadn't killed those demonic beasts, we would have been dead long ago. But with such a commotion, the Demon Suppression Army just turned a blind eye. Do they even care about the lives of us ordinary people?"
