Top-tier Unruly Master

After all, his father is just a Vice City Lord.

It's important to know that in Dancheng, the only person with the most power is the City Lord. Even the Vice City Lord doesn't have much say and at most can offer some advisory opinions.

At this moment, Sun Hua heard He Qianyao's words and couldn't help feeling hesitant in his heart. It's clear that what she said made a lot of sense, and he found it quite satisfactory. Although Sun Hua is usually a playboy, when it comes to handling matters, he has inherited some of his father's "fine traditions." It's apparent he can see matters clearly; as long as his own interests are gained, everything else is essentially insignificant.

At this time, He Qianyao looked at Sun Hua's somewhat hesitant appearance and couldn't help feeling a sense of pride. No matter what decision the other party makes, it is obvious she has achieved part of her goal, already buying Ding Fan some precious time.

Just then, Sun Hua furrowed his brows as he suddenly remembered something—his father's intentions. Clearly, his father's intention was for him to eliminate Ding Lin. Although Sun Hua didn't know his father's plan exactly, he had seen very clearly Ding Lin's performance in the Great Alchemy Competition.

Ding Lin had managed to refine a Grade Nine Medicine Pill, the so-called Supreme Quality Medicine Pill, in less than half an hour. This was an outstanding achievement in the entire Great Alchemy Competition, and now a major topic of conversation among the citizens of Dancheng was about him.

Moreover, Ding Lin had already admitted to being the Legendary Boy who revealed the method of preserving the Alchemy Cauldron. Even though Sun Hua was unwilling to admit Ding Lin's prowess, the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't deny them even if he wanted to. Thus, Sun Hua clearly understood that such a youth with endless potential, if truly nurtured, would become a huge threat to him.

In fact, Ding Lin's current state already posed the greatest threat to him. It was important to know that before the Great Alchemy Competition even ended, Elder Wang had already invited Ding Lin to his home as a guest, showing significant regard for him. It's clear that Ding Lin has strong backing. Although Sun Hua knew his father was the Vice City Lord of Dancheng, a position that ranks just below one person and above ten thousand others, he was also aware of Elder Wang's strength.

Elder Wang held a highly revered status in Dancheng, and even within the City Lord Mansion, he was someone who could completely disregard Sun Hua's father. Of course, on the surface, Sun Hua's father maintained a reasonable relationship with Elder Wang, but if Ding Lin approached Elder Wang to report on these matters about him, it's certain that Elder Wang would stand up for Ding Lin.

At that time, not only would Sun Hua's situation be extremely precarious, but even his father's position as Vice City Lord would likely be shaken.

This was something Sun Hua absolutely did not wish to see. Instantly, Sun Hua frowned, a trace of ruthless determination flashing in his eyes as he looked at He Qianyao. However, as a habitually indulgent Sun Hua laid eyes on the exceptionally beautiful He Qianyao, he couldn't help but show a slight lecherous expression and then spoke with filthy language:

"It's not that I can't agree with you; come to my room tonight and make sure I'm well-served, and everything will be fine!"

He Qianyao was infuriated by his words, but at this crucial moment of Ding Fan's breakthrough, she could only do her best to buy time and endure the fool in front of her. She then continued speaking:

"Won't you reconsider? The previous method was the best solution for us. You are aware of Ding Lin's strength, and clearly, Elder Wang in the Great Alchemy Competition holds Ding Lin in high regard. Our life and death seem insignificant to you, but would you really want to upset Elder Wang?"

He Qianyao seized every opportunity to negotiate with him. She clearly saw Elder Wang's attitude towards Ding Fan in the Great Alchemy Competition, and it was apparent that Elder Wang genuinely valued Ding Fan. He Qianyao was very certain of this, comparable to how Master Nanyang had previously treated Ding Fan with great respect.

He Qianyao knew that Ding Fan was merely a very young cultivator. If it weren't for his exceptional alchemy skill, there would be no reason for Master Nanyang to value him.

Since Master Nanyang valued Ding Fan so much, then there's no need to mention Elder Wang; He Qianyao could see clearly that Master Nanyang's abilities exceeded Elder Wang's significantly.

Therefore, He Qianyao immediately knew that Elder Wang would be very willing to associate with Ding Fan. After all, in the Cultivation World, it's all for one's benefit and cultivation resources. No one would refrain from striving for themselves, although some cultivators pursue relentlessly by any means, while others uphold principles in their pursuit.

While the methods differ, the goals are the same, but the outcomes are absolutely different.

Thus, He Qianyao instantly thought of Elder Wang and brought him up, knowing that even if it couldn't scare the other party off, it could certainly at least cause some hesitation.

He Qianyao's judgment was correct. At this time, when Sun Hua heard her mentioning Elder Wang, it confirmed his thoughts, but Sun Hua couldn't retreat; he had already brought people to the doorstep of his opponent, and even if he backed down, the other party would undoubtedly bear a grudge against him.

"Young Master, there's not much time left!"

At this point, the elder by his side spoke calmly to Sun Hua, while his brows furrowed gradually. Clearly, the elder understood that the other party was obviously stalling for time, but this was completely insignificant to him.

Even if the person in the room completed their breakthrough, they would only be a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, at most a cultivator of the Emergence Stage, which posed absolutely no threat to him; it was clear that even if the other party intended to escape, it would be impossible before him!

At this moment, Sun Hua heard the elder's words and was taken aback, realizing that the opponent had been stalling for time all along. Sun Hua's face turned extremely unpleasant, feeling as if he had been played. However, he quickly showed a mocking expression and said with great pride:

"Do you think stalling for time will help you? It's simply laughable! I'm telling you, today, you all must die! No one can save you!"

He Qianyao heard these words, and her heart tensed up. She realized the time she managed to delay was just about enough, and the opponent had already seen through it. Her eyes became resolute as she stood at the door of Ding Fan's room, staring intently at the three opponents.

"Young Master! Let me deal with this wretched woman!"

The scar-faced middle-aged man beside Sun Hua said with immense hatred and malice, clearly frustrated because of a past incident where he nearly lost his life due to something she said, and had received a slap from the Young Master. Now, he was eager to slay her.

"Kill her outright!"

Sun Hua heard the words of the scar-faced man and then ordered him cruelly.

The scar-faced man, upon hearing Sun Hua's words, revealed a trace of pride on his face and advanced menacingly towards He Qianyao.

Immediately, the scar-faced man drew his longsword and quickly lunged at He Qianyao, rapidly closing the distance, swinging the longsword viciously at her, intending to deliver a swift killing blow.

The scar-faced man was aware of their situation, knowing that they were in the mansion of the City Lord. The longer the situation dragged on, the worse it would be for them. He couldn't bear to watch the other two perish without seeing them dead himself.

He Qianyao saw the man charging at her, her heart clenched, and she quickly drew her longsword to defend herself as fast as possible. It was evident that dodging at this moment was impossible. He Qianyao knew she couldn't dodge because doing so would expose Ding Fan completely to the others.

He Qianyao still had some confidence in her abilities; after all, she was an early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Although her opponent was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, her full-force sword attack might be able to defend against him. She had diligently studied the fist technique taught to her by Ding Fan, and this was the time to test her learning!

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out as their longswords clashed fiercely.

He Qianyao's sword trembled intensely, revealing that the opponent's strength was overwhelming, beyond her complete resistance. Quickly, she discarded her longsword and flashed her form to punch the opponent.

Although He Qianyao moved swiftly, she remained blocking the entrance to Ding Fan's room. Her ultimate goal was to delay time for Ding Fan as long as possible. She realized the commotion outside was significant, which surely Ding Fan noticed, but he hadn't emerged yet or taken action, suggesting that his breakthrough wasn't finished.

She would not retreat and thus utilized the fist technique taught by Ding Fan, engaging in a duel with the scar-faced man.

The scar-faced man was gradually forced to retreat step by step by her fist technique, clearly shocked that a mere early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had such powerful martial skill. He was superior in rank yet being suppressed by her, feeling extremely frustrated.

The scar-faced man, now truly enraged, began to wildly brandish his longsword against her, fighting chaotically and losing his composure due to her fist technique.

Boom!

A heavy sound echoed. Seeing an opportunity, He Qianyao punched hard at an opening, striking unexpectedly. The scar-faced man was staggered, retreating several steps, and spat out blood, eyes filled with astonishment.

An early Nascent Soul Stage woman was proving too formidable for him! It seemed too incredible!
