"Don't worry, everyone. Wu Hanchun is my daughter, so she will definitely come with me to exterminate the monsters."
City Lord Wu Tian hurriedly replied.
"Mr. Fang, you must keep a close eye on Wu Hanchun."
A martial arts sect in Tianyi City.
...
This farce lasted for quite some time before everyone dispersed on bad terms.
After Fang Han, the group from the Demon Suppression Division, and the curious and worried citizens of Tianyi City had all left, the Marquis of Champion stood alone in the same spot, his face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it. His tightly furrowed brows and pursed lips revealed the extreme anger and dissatisfaction he felt at that moment.
After a long silence, he suddenly flung his sleeves and shouted at Wu Tian beside him, "Lord Wu, what exactly happened? Fang Han found you first, didn't you notice anything? Didn't you warn me beforehand? This time, I've completely lost face in front of everyone, and worse, I've lost the hearts of the people. I'll tell you the truth today: the reason I traveled all the way to Tianyi City was firstly for the beautiful Tantai Qiuyue, and secondly to establish great military achievements here so that I could be crowned a king as soon as possible. But now, I've made Tantai Qiuyue despise me, and I've lost the hearts of the people. You have to give me a reasonable explanation!"
"My lord, please calm down."
Upon hearing Champion Hou's furious words, Wu Tian's face turned deathly pale, his legs went weak, and he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.
His body trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with fear and panic as he said, "My lord, you don't know this, but Fang Han definitely knows some kind of sorcery. When he and Tantai Qiuyue suddenly came to me with so many people, I didn't notice anything at all, as if someone had cast some kind of evil spell on me. And later when he came to see you, I deliberately raised my voice to warn you, but you didn't seem to hear me. You really can't blame me for that."
"It seems that Fang Han's cultivation is not only unfathomable, but his magic is also very powerful."
Champion Marquis narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of apprehension in them, and slowly said, "That roar that instilled fear and trembled in people earlier must have come from a Nine Nether Ice Lion of the Beast King level. That Nine Nether Ice Lion is extraordinary and no ordinary creature. How exactly did Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue survive such a desperate situation?"
"Beast King level? That's equivalent to a human Divine Sense Realm expert!"
Wu Hanchun stared wide-eyed, her face full of disbelief, and couldn't help but say, "Even if Fang Han is very powerful, he's only twenty years old. At his age, reaching the early stage of Foundation Establishment should already be his limit, right? How could he possibly have such great abilities?"
"Fang Han has been making waves lately, and he should not be underestimated."
Wu Tian knelt on the ground and said that since the Marquis of Champion did not tell him to get up, he dared not get up.
He felt that the Marquis of Champion was right. Fang Han was indeed extraordinary. Otherwise, he could not have become the chief retainer of the Demon Suppression Division at such a young age. That was a position that countless people dreamed of but could hardly reach.
Moreover, he had already sent people to investigate carefully yesterday. Fang Han was from Yanming City and used to be called a good-for-nothing fool in Yanming City. But this year, Fang Han seemed to have been reborn and suddenly rose to prominence.
Moreover, the Fang family also rose in status and wealth along with his rise, rapidly gaining prominence.
The pills refined by the Fang family are now selling well throughout Tianyuan County, making the Fang family a truly powerful family with a pivotal position in the region.
"Fang Han's raw strength should be below mine. With his cultivation level, it's impossible for him to kill that beast king-level monster."
After a moment of contemplation, the Marquis of Champion slowly said, "But the Demon Suppression Division has been fighting against demonic beasts for many years. In the long struggle against demonic beasts, they must have accumulated many unique skills that can cleverly lure the demonic beasts away. Therefore, they were able to escape death at that critical moment this time."
"Your analysis is definitely correct. Although Fang Han is powerful, he is far inferior to you, Your Lordship."
City Lord Wu Tian quickly echoed, his face plastered with a fawning smile.
He wasn't just flattering Fang Han; he genuinely believed that Fang Han, coming from a small place like Yanming City, even with his amazing talent, had limited upbringing. How could he possibly compare to a nobleman like the Marquis of Champion, who came from a prestigious family, received a good education from a young age, and had abundant resources?
"Lord Wu, please get up."
Champion Marquis Li Hong's anger seemed to have subsided somewhat, and he spoke to City Lord Wu Tiandao.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Wu Tian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead before standing up.
“My lord, I have never hunted a demon beast before. Tomorrow, Fang Han, Tantai Qiuyue, and even those common people will definitely force me to hunt a demon beast. Just think, if I get eaten by that ferocious demon beast, I won’t be able to serve you anymore.”
Wu Hanchun, however, stood to the side with a worried expression and said to Champion Hou.
"Han Chun, you don't need to worry so much. You will come with us to hunt monsters, and we will bring more people. My Demon Suppression Army originally had two thousand men, and although we have suffered some losses in the recent battles, we still have eighteen hundred. Your father's city defense army has at least ten thousand men. Although we will split into two teams, we won't go too far when we go out, and we can help each other. In this way, our safety will be guaranteed."
Looking at Wu Hanchun's pitiful appearance, the Marquis of Champion couldn't help but soften his heart and said.
He can't have Tantai Qiuyue now, but when Wu Hanchun serves him, her gentle and considerate manner still makes him feel very comfortable.
Moreover, Wu Hanchun was quite a beauty, with outstanding looks and a graceful figure, so he was really reluctant to let her be eaten by the monster.
Furthermore, Wu Tian, the city lord, was a great help to him in dealing with Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue in Tianyi City.
Wu Tian has been operating in Tianyi City for many years, with deep roots and extensive connections and resources. If he loses this natural ally, it will be much more difficult for him to achieve his goals in Tianyi City.
"My lord, with your protection, I'm sure I'll be fine. But we're being led by the nose by that brat Fang Han, and we really can't swallow this insult."
Wu Hanchun said sweetly, her voice melodious, but her eyes revealed a hint of resentment.
Seeing how much the Marquis valued her, she was secretly pleased. After all, gaining the Marquis's favor was something to be proud of in Tianyi City.
"Han Chun, don't worry, I've already thought of a plan. Let that brat Fang Han be smug for a few days, three days at most, and I'll make sure he's gone. Then, you'll naturally get rid of this pent-up anger."
After a moment of silence, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly sneered.
"My lord, what's the plan? Please tell me quickly."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hanchun immediately became excited, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and she quickly pressed for more information.
"This brilliant plan cannot be revealed for now. You will know once Fang Han is dead."
"Champion Hou said mysteriously, a strange smile playing on his lips.
