A few days later.
Wang Fan was immersed in exploring his own power, having just become familiar with the immense power granted by the demigod realm.
This power is like a treasure trove containing endless energy, waiting for him to explore it further.
Just as Wang Fan was focused on his cultivation, a messenger from the princess's residence rushed to Wang Fan's residence in a great hurry.
He hurriedly conveyed the princess's decree: "Young Master Wang Fan, the princess has ordered an urgent meeting of all parties at the City Lord's Mansion. Please proceed immediately!"
Wang Fan felt a chill run down his spine. For the princess to summon him so urgently, something extremely important must have happened.
He dared not delay, quickly tidied his clothes, and followed the messenger to the city lord's mansion.
Along the way, Wang Fan couldn't suppress his doubts and asked the messenger, "What exactly happened that made the princess summon everyone so urgently?"
The messenger looked nervous and lowered his voice, saying, "Young Master Wang Fan, I don't know the specifics, but I've heard it seems to be related to a false god, and it seems something serious has happened."
Upon hearing the words "false god," Wang Fan's heart sank, and he quickened his pace.
Upon arriving at the council hall of the city lord's mansion, Wang Fan discovered that Lie Yan and representatives from various factions in Lie Huo City were already present.
The crowd looked grave, whispering among themselves with worry.
The princess sat upright in the main seat and nodded slightly in greeting when Wang Fan arrived.
He then spoke with a serious expression: "Everyone, we have just received news that the false god forces have been making a big move recently."
"They seem to be gathering a large number of people and are heading towards our Blazing City. Their intentions are still unclear, but they are probably up to no good."
Upon hearing this, the people in the hall immediately erupted in an uproar.
Some people panicked and whispered among themselves about how to deal with it.
Some, however, wore resolute expressions as they pondered strategies to defend against the enemy.
With a solemn expression, Lie Yan stepped forward first.
After bowing to the princess with his hands clasped in a fist, he said loudly, "Your Highness, I believe we should focus all our efforts on defense at this time."
"Blazing City has a strategic location and strong walls. If our forces can unite, we are not without a chance of victory."
"Although the false gods are powerful, they must be exhausted after their long march."
"We will wait in comfort and hold our ground, then seize the opportunity to strike and thwart their plot."
However, Yan Batian of the Yan family sneered and said dismissively, "Lie Yan, you make it sound so easy."
"The power of these false gods is beyond imagination. They have come out in full force this time. What can we use to resist them? Fighting them head-on would only be a pointless death."
"The Yan family believes that retreating now is the wise move. As long as we preserve our strength, we can always plan for future development."
Lie Yan's face turned red with anger. Pointing at Yan Batian of the Yan family, he retorted, "Your Yan family always backs down in the face of battle! During the battle at the castle, you disregarded the overall situation and fled first, causing many brothers to lose their lives."
"Now that we face a formidable enemy, do you intend to repeat your old tricks and disregard the people of Blazing Fire City?"
Enraged, the Yan family representative shouted, "Lie Yan, stop spouting nonsense! Our Yan family is doing this to preserve our strength; it's a strategic consideration."
"If you want to die, that's your business, don't drag the Yan family into it!"
Both sides stuck to their own arguments, creating a tense atmosphere in the council chamber.
"Shut up!"
The princess slammed her hand on the table, her eyes wide with anger. "The false god hasn't even arrived yet! And you're all in such a mess! What kind of behavior is this!"
The princess's chest heaved violently with anger, her hatred for the Yan family reaching its peak.
Yan Batian, in particular, wished he could tear him to pieces.
But at this moment she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
At this critical moment for the survival of Blazing City, the city is so disunited.
Yan Batian stood there, looking completely unconvinced.
Relying on the power of the Yan family, he did not take the princess's anger seriously at all, and coldly snorted: "Your Highness, it is not that my Yan family is unwilling to help, but the false god is too powerful. To resist is undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock."
Lie Yan was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Yan Batian and shouted, "Yan Batian, stop trying to argue! You only care about the interests of your own family and never consider the bigger picture!"
"What happened before can be forgiven, but now that Blazing City is facing annihilation, you still have this selfish and self-serving face!"
Yan Batian glanced at Lie Yan with disdain, "Hmph, stop being so righteous."
"You're just trying to show off and risk everyone's lives. My Yan family won't make such pointless sacrifices for you."
The princess was trembling with anger, yet there was nothing she could do.
The Yan family wielded immense power, and at this critical juncture, they openly defied orders, leaving her powerless to stop them.
Left with no other choice, the princess could only turn her gaze to Wang Fan.
His eyes were full of expectation as he said, "Wang Fan, you managed to escape from the false god last time, so you must be familiar with their methods. Now that the situation is critical, do you have any good ideas?"
Wang Fan felt the princess's eager gaze and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
He remained calm, though he understood the gravity of the situation, he did not panic.
“Princess, although the false god is powerful, he is not invincible.”
"As far as I know, although these false gods possess great power, they can be killed as long as their divine core is located and successfully destroyed."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions instantly changed.
Lie Yan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He stared intently at Wang Fan, as if he were re-examining the person in front of him.
He secretly wondered: Could it be that Wang Fan had killed a false god?
"You should know that they have fought against the false god many times, and they have only seriously injured the false god. They have never heard of anyone being able to kill the false god."
"This is also why the false god forces have been so rampant, causing them so much headaches."
The princess frowned slightly, a complex expression of surprise and doubt flashing in her eyes.
To everyone's surprise, if what Wang Fan said was true, then Blazing Fire City had a glimmer of hope.
The question is, how did Wang Fan know that killing a false god was so difficult?
Representatives from other factions whispered amongst themselves.
Some looked on with suspicion and muttered, "Is Wang Fan just spouting nonsense? If he could really kill a false god so easily, why has no one ever done it before?"
Some looked expectant, a glimmer of hope burning in their eyes: "If he really has a way, then we might be able to get through this crisis."
Yan Batian curled his lips into a mocking smile and said disdainfully, "Wang Fan, don't spout nonsense and mislead people here."
"Kill a false god? Such a fantastical thing, how can you even say it? I think you're just talking nonsense out of fear."
Wang Fan had long harbored extreme disgust for Yan Batian's selfish, cowardly, and cowardly nature.
Unable to hold back any longer, he shot his gaze at Yan Batian like lightning and said coldly, "Yan Batian, you were the first to run away during the castle battle, and I haven't settled that score with you yet! If it weren't for the formidable enemy at hand, I would definitely teach you a lesson today!"
