"Brother Yang, we really need to go back to yesterday and start from the beginning to tell this story."
Champion Hou tilted his head slightly, a complex expression appearing on his face, and let out a long sigh.
Then, he slowly began to speak, his voice steady yet carrying a hint of barely concealed resentment. He recounted the scene of his first unexpected encounter with Fang Han, going into every detail, all the way to everything that had happened that day, as if he wanted to etch every single detail into Yang Xiao's mind.
This Yang Xiao is a renowned Imperial Vanguard General in the Demon Suppression Army. Although he is not a Marquis, his status in the army is even more prestigious than that of an ordinary Marquis.
The Demon Suppression Army is currently doing its utmost to suppress the demons in the Southern Region. Once the mission is accomplished, given Yang Xiao's illustrious military achievements and outstanding talent, being crowned a king is almost a certainty.
However, Yang Xiao also has a special identity: he is a trusted minister of Prince Li Wentian.
As the commander of the Demon Suppression Army, Li Wentian enjoys extremely high prestige.
For this reason, Yang Xiao was always humble and low-key in front of Li Wentian, the young master, and never regarded himself as a vanguard general, always maintaining respect and humility.
"Is Tantai Qiuyue truly more beautiful than the daughter of the prime minister in the capital? How could she have captivated you, Marquis, to the point of losing your appetite and sleep?"
After listening to Champion Marquis's long speech, Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel a strong sense of curiosity and asked a question.
You should know that the Champion Marquis is not the kind of vulgar man who can't resist women.
In his view, women are like clothes, and can be changed at any time.
In the past, no woman who had taken a liking to the Marquis of Champions had ever dared to disobey his wishes.
Even the daughter of the high-ranking prime minister, if the Marquis of Champion is successfully enfeoffed as a king in the future, the prime minister, with his shrewdness, would probably be willing to marry his daughter to the Marquis of Champion in order to consolidate the power and status of his family.
However, to everyone's surprise, Tantai Qiuyue rejected the champion's ardent pursuit without hesitation, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
"That's right. I can say without exaggeration that she is absolutely the most beautiful woman in the world. Even Zhuge Feifei from the capital city pales in comparison to her. Her stunning beauty is unforgettable once you see her, as if all the troubles in the world disappear with her."
A hint of infatuation and resentment flashed in the eyes of the Champion Marquis. He gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for that bastard Fang Han suddenly appearing and interfering, I would have already successfully won over Tantai Qiuyue and made her my woman."
At this point, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. He looked as if he wanted to grind Fang Han to dust to vent his hatred.
“As you just said, Tantai Qiuyue encountered a Lord-level Tiger-faced Leopard, which is an extremely ferocious demon beast. Yet Fang Han was able to kill all of them. This shows that his strength is definitely not to be underestimated. Moreover, today, Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue were able to escape unscathed from the fierce attack of the demon beast horde led by the Nine Nether Ice Lion. This is enough to prove that Fang Han is quite terrifying and is definitely not an ordinary person.”
Yang Xiao was not affected by the Marquis of Champion's emotions, but calmly analyzed the situation.
As a vanguard general of the Demon Suppression Army, he has been charging into battle for many years, experiencing countless life-and-death trials, and is extremely experienced.
On the battlefield, he was always known for his calm and composure. No matter how critical the situation, he could maintain a clear mind and make the most correct judgment.
"I estimate that Fang Han's strength has definitely reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. In addition, Tantai Qiuyue is also a master of the early Foundation Establishment Realm. With the two of them working together and the help of the Demon Suppression Division's assassins, killing a Foundation Establishment Realm Tiger-Faced Leopard shouldn't be difficult. But I'm quite surprised that they were able to return unscathed today. It seems that the Demon Suppression Division still has some unknown secret methods for dealing with demonic beasts. I guess Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue must have used some kind of secret method to lure away those demonic beasts, and then waited for them to react and launch a counterattack, which is why we suffered heavy casualties."
Champion Hou frowned, thinking and analyzing as he spoke.
Yang Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing this, finding the analysis of the Marquis of Champion quite reasonable. However, he also felt that something was amiss, as if a layer of mist shrouded the truth, making it difficult for him to see the whole picture.
After some thought, he finally decided to personally contact Fang Han to test his strength and see what kind of power he actually possessed.
After all, Fang Han, as the top guest elder of the Demon Suppression Division, is not as simple as he appears on the surface; he must have some unknown secrets behind him.
Wu Yi's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke to the Marquis of Champion: "My lord, that city lord Wu Tian abandoned us at a crucial moment and fled alone. Such behavior is truly heinous and cannot be easily forgiven. He must be dealt with to uphold military law!"
Wu Yi was usually cautious and rarely offered any advice to the Marquis of Champion.
However, Wu Tian's actions this time filled him with righteous indignation, and he felt that this person was absolutely unreliable.
In his heart, as the city lord, he should have stood with his soldiers through thick and thin to fight against the enemy in times of crisis. However, Wu Tian was cowardly and deserted his post. Such cowardly behavior was simply despicable.
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Champion's face was filled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Hmph! The strength of the demonic beasts in Tianyi City far exceeds my expectations. The situation is complicated now, so I will spare his dog's life for the time being. However, once I wipe out these demonic beasts and get rid of that despicable Fang Han, Wu Tian will definitely not escape death!"
