Top-tier Unruly Master

"Enough! Cut the nonsense! I'll kill this female cultivator first!"

At this moment, Elder Zhao clearly did not want to be entangled with the opponent any longer. He knew that the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him and his companions. Evidently, he needed a swift victory!

The female cultivator Elder Zhao referred to was He Qianyao. Without giving anyone any time to react, he instantly moved towards He Qianyao and launched a fierce palm attack at her.

The plump innkeeper was stunned by this scene, clearly not expecting Elder Zhao to act so swiftly. He knew that the female cultivator was undoubtedly an important figure to Ding Lin. If Elder Zhao truly killed her, forming ties with Ding Lin would be impossible. Moreover, even the City Lord himself would find it very difficult to establish any connections.

However, it was too late for the chubby innkeeper to intervene. That Elder Zhao was rumored to be a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Stage, making him significantly faster than the innkeeper. Additionally, the innkeeper was much further away from the female cultivator than Elder Zhao, which made him feel even more anxious. Initially, when Elder Zhao used Qigong against her, the innkeeper had a chance to save her, but now Elder Zhao was serious, directly charging at her, leaving no room for any intervention!

Sun Hua watched this scene unfold, feeling quite pleased. He hadn't expected Elder Zhao to make a move so quickly. In Sun Hua's mind, killing Ding Lin was a hesitant decision. After all, the innkeeper had already intervened, and even if he killed Ding Lin, the City Lord would certainly find out. For a moment, Sun Hua pondered whether killing him would be beneficial or detrimental to himself.

Yet it was apparent that Elder Zhao was determined to eliminate the target. Thus, Sun Hua formulated a plan in his mind. If the City Lord were to blame him, he would shift all responsibility onto Elder Zhao. Sun Hua knew that Elder Zhao was immensely loyal to his father. Even if Elder Zhao had to take the fall later, there would be no issues.

Sun Hua now focused his fervent desire on the alchemy cauldron Ding Lin possessed. The cauldron had already produced Supreme Quality Medicine Pills through its refinement, indicating that it was an extraordinary treasure he absolutely must obtain!

The scar-faced middle-aged man witnessed Elder Zhao's actions and felt a sense of satisfaction. Elder Zhao's strike was lethal; even if the opponent had three heads and six arms, they would not survive! The scar-faced man harbored deep hatred for the female cultivator and had longed to kill her completely. As for offending the City Lord, a small figure like him didn't need to worry about that.

He Qianyao watched as the elder rushed towards her, feeling a surge of fear. Although the elder hadn't reached her yet, his imposing aura left her breathless. Clearly, the suppression from such a master was extraordinary.

Initially, He Qianyao thought she had narrowly escaped a disaster, suffering only minor injuries. But she didn't expect this so-called Elder Zhao to be so reckless. He acted without considering the consequences, seemingly having only one thing in mind: obedience. As long as it was Sun Long's order, he would follow it unconditionally.

However, Elder Zhao wasn't thoughtless; quite the opposite, he was very clear in his mind. He understood Sun Long's plan and knew Sun Long was resolute in acquiring the Golden Silk Protective Clothing. Moreover, the presence of such an alchemic genius as Ding Lin seriously disrupted Sun Long's plans. Thus, Elder Zhao knew Sun Long was determined to eliminate Ding Lin.

As Elder Zhao had stated before, even if the City Lord knew he killed Ding Lin, what could happen? Would the City Lord sever ties with the Vice City Lord over a dead man? Obviously not, because Elder Zhao knew Sun Long had won over many of the City Lord Mansion's core members over the years. Should the City Lord and Sun Long fall out, it would be the City Lord Mansion that suffered the most, affecting the entire Dancheng.

Elder Zhao knew the City Lord was a wise man who prioritized the bigger picture. Even losing a genius might cause some heartache, but they could soon cultivate another talent to compensate. Why worry about a Ding Lin?

Soon, Elder Zhao's palm was almost upon He Qianyao. Just a little more force, and He Qianyao would vanish from the Cultivation World!

But just as Elder Zhao was about to strike He Qianyao, the door behind her suddenly flew open, and an extremely sharp Wind Blade shot out, roaring towards Elder Zhao.

Elder Zhao was taken aback, astonished at the intensity of the incoming Wind Blade. It was so ferocious that he had no choice but to defend against it; he couldn't casually brush it off. Clearly, this Wind Blade was no ordinary attack. A single misstep, and he might suffer a major setback! Therefore, Elder Zhao abandon his attack on He Qianyao and instead clashed directly with the Wind Blade.

Thud, thud, thud...

Elder Zhao was forced back several steps by the wind blade, his heart filled with shock. What kind of powerful figure could be hiding in this room, that just a mere wind blade could be so formidable! It even pushed him back several steps.

At this moment, Fat Boss witnessed the scene and felt utterly astonished. He couldn't figure out just who in this room could be so skilled, that even a single wind blade could repel the opponent's attack. This definitely seemed too incredible! After all, Elder Zhao was a cultivator in the Out of Body stage, clearly not someone an ordinary cultivator could handle. Yet, the opposition managed to drive him back with just a wind blade—this was simply inconceivable!

Fat Boss himself had to admit, he absolutely couldn't achieve such a feat, even though his actual cultivation was at the Late Nascent Soul stage. He had to acknowledge the enormous disparity between himself and someone in the Out of Body stage.

Not only was Fat Boss shocked, but Sun Hua, upon seeing this scene, also felt deeply amazed. When had anyone seen Elder Zhao being repelled by a wind blade? This was truly astonishing!

The scar-faced man's face was also filled with surprise upon witnessing the scene. He clearly hadn't expected someone to rescue the female cultivator on the other side, and with just a wind blade, drive Elder Zhao away—this was truly beyond belief!

He Qianyao watched this scene, her heart filled with lingering fear. She hadn't expected to still be alive, but who was it that rescued her? Wasn't Ding Fan the only one in the room? Could Ding Fan have broken through? The wind blade clearly saved her, but He Qianyao couldn't believe it was Ding Fan. After all, Ding Fan was only a Late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and for a wind blade to repel an Out of Body stage cultivator was clearly impossible. Even if he had broken through, he would only be at the Nascent Soul Early stage, clearly unable to accomplish such a feat.

At this moment, He Qianyao glanced towards the doorway beside her, evidently wanting to see who had rescued her. She knew there was only Ding Fan in the room, but she was reluctant to believe that he was the one who had acted. After all, even if Ding Fan had broken through, he wouldn't be a match for Elder Zhao. At this moment, she hoped Ding Fan could escape quickly, so at least one of them could make it out alive. This would be the best outcome, despite the unresolved vengeance for herself, her father, and the Dayang Sect. As long as Ding Fan had the time, He Qianyao believed even Out of Body stage cultivators wouldn't be his match.

It wasn't just He Qianyao who was focused on the doorway; Elder Zhao also tightly watched the door of Ding Fan's room. Evidently, he had received some information about Ding Lin and had a certain understanding. His opponent was only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, who excelled a bit in alchemical talent, but definitely wouldn't be his match.

Clearly, Elder Zhao was concerned that there might be another expert in the room, which would be the last thing he wanted to see. However, he wasn't overly worried; the previous wind blade was powerful but not yet beyond his ability to handle, indicating that the opponent's strength was comparable to his own.

Sun Hua was also greatly shocked and curious as he watched the open door. He too was eager to know what kind of expert was beside Ding Lin in the room. However, he was curious why the expert didn't come out immediately, and waited until now, which seemed abnormal. Thus, he began to feel some concern.

The scar-faced man's gaze was fixated on the doorway, filled with hatred. Evidently, if it weren't for the trouble caused by the intervening figure, the female cultivator would have been dead!

Fat Boss was also deeply shaken, feeling somewhat guilty. This was his inn, yet such a master had arrived without his notice, which was essentially a failure of duty!

At noon, with plenty of sunshine, a young man slowly walked out of the door, appearing radiant and handsome under the sunlight. Authoritative and strong!

If not Ding Fan, who else?

At this moment, as He Qianyao saw Ding Fan emerge, she was deeply astonished! She hadn't expected the person to actually be Ding Fan! Her heart was curious, given Ding Fan was only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, even with a breakthrough, only at the Nascent Soul Early stage, how could he be a match for Elder Zhao. What was more unbelievable was why only a single wind blade had driven back Elder Zhao—could it indeed be Ding Fan?

It was simply incredible!

At the same time, He Qianyao was deeply worried about Ding Fan. She knew Ding Fan absolutely wouldn't leave her behind, but she still didn't want to see him come out. She hoped Ding Fan could escape alive. Despite knowing Ding Fan's considerable strength, Elder Zhao was stronger, and this was Dancheng, clearly the other side's territory.

No matter how strong they were, they still had to bow on someone else's territory.
