"What? He's actually the First Guest Elder of the Demon Suppression Division?"
As Tantai Qiuyue finished speaking, an incredulous look of doubt flashed in the eyes of Champion Marquis Li Hong. He frowned, his voice carrying a hint of displeasure and provocation: "Hasn't the position of First Guest Elder of your Demon Suppression Division been vacant for many years, with no one able to take it over? How come suddenly, this unknown kid named Fang Han has become that high and mighty First Guest Elder?"
He pondered to himself, finding it hard to believe that Fang Han had such a background.
It should be noted that, within the Demon Suppression Division, apart from the mysterious and unpredictable Division Chief, the most revered person is the First Guest Elder.
This First Guest Minister not only wielded immense power, but could even directly mobilize the nine commanders under the Demon Suppression Division at crucial moments, demonstrating his formidable influence.
"This kind of thing is not something to be taken lightly; how could it be fake?"
Tantai Qiuyue's expression was calm, but her tone revealed an undeniable firmness: "This year, at the invitation of Zhenbei King Xiao Zhan, Mr. Fang officially took up the position of guest elder of the Demon Suppression Division. However, Mr. Fang has always been low-key and unwilling to make a fuss, so not many people know his true identity."
After speaking, she paused slightly, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, and continued, "This time, our Demon Suppression Division and the Demon Suppression Army have joined forces to launch an operation in Tianyi City, aiming to jointly combat the threat of demonic beasts. I hope that both sides can prioritize the overall situation, set aside past grievances, and work together."
"Hmph, if he really is the chief retainer of the Demon Suppression Division, then as long as he apologizes to me, I will not pursue this matter any further."
Champion Hou Li Hong's attitude seemed to have softened somewhat, but his tone still carried a hint of arrogance.
However, Fang Han merely smiled faintly, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain: "Apologize? Why should I apologize? If you want to fight, I'm ready anytime. As for expecting a mere show-off like you to deal with demonic beasts, I'm afraid that's not going to work."
He knew in his heart that by crippling Zhao Wu, he had already forged an irreconcilable enmity with Li Wentian, the commander of the Demon Suppression Army and the father of the Champion Marquis.
He naturally wouldn't take a junior like Champion Hou seriously.
"Fang Han, how dare you! The Marquis has already given you a way out, yet you still dare to be so insolent?"
Upon hearing this, You Sanqian's eyes widened in anger, and he pointed at Fang Han's nose, shouting, "If you can't produce the token of the First Guest Elder of the Demon Suppression Division to prove your identity, today, we will ensure you don't leave here alive and will tear you to pieces!"
He had previously had his sword broken by Fang Han's finger and was sent flying several feet away, losing all face. He already harbored deep hatred for Fang Han.
Therefore, among this group, he was one of the people who most wanted Fang Han dead.
"My identity is not important. If you want to make a move, I'm ready to fight you to the bitter end."
Fang Han's voice gradually turned cold, and a sharp, icy light flashed in his eyes. "However, you will be the ones who regret it later."
"Hmph, I think your so-called title of First Guest Elder of the Demon Suppression Division is a complete lie!"
Champion Hou Li Hong sneered, his eyes filled with disdain and provocation.
He secretly pondered that if Fang Han truly held a noble status, he would certainly not hesitate to produce the token of the First Guest Elder of the Demon Suppression Division to prove himself.
However, Fang Han did not take any action for a long time, which made him even more convinced of his judgment.
"This is my token!"
Just then, Fang Han's mind stirred, and a token appeared in his hand.
The words "Demon Suppression Division" and "First Guest Elder" are clearly visible on this token, as if it contains an invisible pressure that makes people dare not look directly at it.
Upon seeing this, Marquis Li Hong's expression changed drastically, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes: "You...you are actually the First Guest Elder of the Demon Suppression Division!"
"The real deal." Fang Han smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over Champion Marquis and You Sanqian. "Do you still want to fight me?"
"Hmph, in order to exterminate the demon beast, I will let you go for now."
Marquis Li Hong snorted coldly, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes. "However, I will suggest to the King that you be removed from your position as a guest minister of the Demon Suppression Division. Moreover, Commander Tantai Qiuyue and I are a match made in heaven, so you'd better not have any improper thoughts about her!"
"I told you, if you want to make a move, I'm ready anytime. However, even if you're at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, you can't withstand a single sword strike from me."
Fang Han said indifferently, "As for the relationship between me and Commander Tantai Qiuyue, it's none of your business to worry about. She would never like a hypocrite like you."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Li Hong's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "I can't even withstand one of your swords? What a joke! If it weren't for the greater good, and if it weren't for Miss Tantai Qiuyue's sake, you would have already died today."
He paused, then continued, "Although you are considered a young talent, you are worlds apart from me. After all, my father is Prince Li Wentian, and the commander of the Demon Suppression Army. Although the Demon Suppression Division is of great importance to the Yanlong Kingdom, it is far inferior to my Demon Suppression Army."
"The bigger picture? Face?" Fang Han saw through Champion Marquis Li Hong's bluster at a glance and immediately chuckled, "I don't need you to have any reservations about the bigger picture or face. You can make your move at any time. In front of me, no matter who you bring up, it will be of no use."
The champion's face grew increasingly grim. He had always been assertive, but he hadn't expected Fang Han to be even more assertive than him.
"Boy, you're asking for it!" Champion Marquis roared, his voice full of threat.
Fang Han simply smiled faintly and said, "Someone like you isn't worth giving face to."
