Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 1470 1507: Gao De

At this moment, everyone was shocked by Ding Fan's words. Clearly, they hadn't expected Ding Fan to be so determined to take Tong Xie's head. They understood that if the person wasn't someone important, it would have been impossible to target them.

But now, things were evidently different. As the Vice City Lord of Dancheng, his status allows him to walk unchallenged across the Donglai Continent. After all, Dancheng is a Five Star city, and even in the Cultivation World, few sects could rival it.

Dancheng is renowned for its Alchemists. The terrifying power of Alchemists is something no one in the Cultivation World would ignore.

A Vice City Lord of such caliber is no ordinary existence, especially in a city like Lan City, which isn't particularly famous. His status is undoubtedly higher than that of Lan City's Lord.

Now, if Ding Fan, such a cultivator, intends to kill the Young Master of the Tong Family, it is not a trivial matter. Even if Lan City's Lord were here, he might not be able to stop him. Everyone can understand Ding Fan's intentions.

"Poor Tong Family's Young Master, this time he kicked the iron board and offended Dancheng's Vice City Lord. His ending will not be good!"

"Indeed! I can understand the Vice City Lord of Dancheng. If he hadn't shown his Jade Plate, revealing his identity, it would have been Tong Xie who was relentlessly after them!"

"You're not wrong..."

"This is retribution..."

...

People clearly understood the situation and empathized with Ding Fan. It was evident that if Tong Xie hadn't been toying around and then tried to kill the girl, before finally trying to exterminated Ding Fan and his companions, Ding Fan wouldn't have let him go!

At this moment, Cai Er and Wu Qianwen, witnessing Ding Fan's actions, couldn't help but feel scared. After all, Tong Xie was the Young Master of the Tong Family, and if Ding Fan truly killed him, he would incur the full wrath of the Tong Family, who would do everything to take down Ding Fan!

Moreover, they were on Lan City's territory, and Fang Zhongwen was still trying to intervene. Killing Tong Xie was clearly not an easy task, especially since Tong Xie was invited as a guest by Lan City, which would never stand by while he was killed.

Cai Er and Wu Qianwen exchanged a tense glance, then approached Ding Fan. Wu Qianwen, in a timid voice, said:

"Brother Ding Fan, let's just drop this matter! Tong Xie's arms are already crippled."

"Yes, Brother Ding Fan, let it go..."

At this moment, Cai Er also tried to persuade him.

Hearing their words, Ding Fan faintly smiled, understanding that they were just scared. Just as he was about to speak, Long Ren approached him, speaking in a seemingly relaxed yet earnest tone:

"Do you think if we spare them now, they won't come looking for us later? Clearly not, and they threatened to throw us into Lan City's prison and execute us. How can we let them go now?"

"I support Brother's decision. If they want us dead, there's no reason for them to live!"

Long Ren said resolutely, himself shocked that Brother was Dancheng's Vice City Lord, which Long Ren hadn't anticipated. Dancheng was formidable, even if not in front of him personally. To most sects, offending Dancheng was not a trivial matter.

A powerful sect offending Dancheng would find itself easily wiped out by experts rallied at Dancheng's command. Dancheng is a hub of Alchemists, and while High Level Alchemists might have weaker early cultivation, they can summon numerous Spirit Severing Cultivators, making it not difficult to destroy a powerful sect.

Long Ren knew his men wouldn't dare provoke Dancheng. Even if they were strong, if they truly incited conflict, both sides would suffer greatly. But this scenario had never happened, and it won't happen because Brother is Dancheng's Vice City Lord, and Long Ren respected him. Dancheng's power isn't to be underestimated, and their alliance only strengthens them!

"Little brother is right!" Ding Fan smiled gently at Long Ren's words.

The crowd, hearing Long Ren, was stunned. They couldn't believe someone would add fuel to the fire at this moment, and such audacity to speak like this.

"Who is that person? Aren't they afraid of escalating the situation?"

"They must be insane! This is no trivial matter involving influential figures. Even bystanders should have some sense!"

"Didn't you hear him call Ding Fan 'Brother'? Clearly, he's the brother of Dancheng's Vice City Lord, but who would have thought Ding Fan's brother is so bold! Knowing his brother faces Lan City's Guard Squad and a Spirit Severing Elder from Wuji Sect!"

"Yes, does he want his brother dead?"

"Even if they fight, Ding Fan isn't a match for the Spirit Severing Elder!"

"That lad doesn't seem like much, just an ordinary youth not yet at the Nascent Soul Stage. Yet he dares rally with his brother, that's some nerve!"

...

For a moment, people were talking in hushed tones, evidently shocked by Long Ren, not knowing what exactly Long Ren was doing. Even facing an elder at the Spirit Severing stage, he showed no sign of fear. This was simply unbelievable! Everyone knew that the elder was at the Spirit Severing stage, and even if an ordinary cultivator managed to stand face-to-face with such a person, it clearly wouldn't be that easy.

After all, the aura of a Spirit Severing cultivator is extremely powerful, obviously not something ordinary cultivators can withstand. But Ding Fan's brother stood so nonchalantly with Ding Fan in front of the Spirit Severing elder, looking completely indifferent, which was simply incredible!

At this moment, Long Ren heard Ding Fan's words and exchanged a knowing smile with him.

"Who dares to fight in Lan City!"

Suddenly, a loud and authoritative voice rang out.

The crowd couldn't help but be surprised, turning in the direction of the voice. They saw a middle-aged man of average build, dressed in luxurious deep purple attire, and sporting a square face, entering the room.

The inn's guards, upon seeing the middle-aged man, straightened their postures and spoke in unison with respect:

"Lord Gao!"

...

Some cultivators among the crowd didn't initially know the identity of the middle-aged man, but when the guards respectfully addressed him, everyone realized it was indeed Lan City's Vice City Lord, Gao De. People hadn't expected Gao De to show up, causing them to gasp in surprise, clearly shocked at heart.

After all, the Vice City Lord isn't someone the common people can easily meet. No one expected this incident to even disturb Lord Gao, but on further reflection, it was quite reasonable, considering it involved a matter concerning the Vice City Lord of Dancheng, and that black-clothed girl, Linger, was his goddaughter.

With his goddaughter in trouble on his own turf, how could he not be concerned?

At this moment, Fang Zhongwen, upon seeing Gao De enter, quickly walked up to him and respectfully said:

"Lord Gao, you are here."

"Could I not be? Had my men not heard that my goddaughter seemed to be bullied here, I wouldn't have known! Fang Zhongwen, we'll settle matters with you later!"

With an unhappy tone, Gao De finished speaking and then directly walked toward the black-clothed girl, his face displaying concern.

Fang Zhongwen, hearing Gao De's words, couldn't help but have a bitter expression. It was evident this matter would be hard for him to escape blame, but with Lord Gao present, he felt a bit relieved. Were it not for Lord Gao's timely intervention, it would have been difficult for him to handle this situation.

After all, neither of the involved parties appeared easy to contend with, especially Ding Fan, who was the City Lord of Dancheng, obviously not an ordinary presence. With Lord Gao here, however the situation was dealt with, it was no longer his concern, given it was Lord Gao's decision.

By now, Gao De had reached the girl's side and lovingly inquired:

"Linger, what's going on?"

The black-clothed girl, hearing the middle-aged man's words, coquettishly replied:

"Godfather, my friend had a little verbal spar with the other party, but they refuse to let it go! Even when General Fang spoke, they didn't listen and just continue to hold a grudge against my friend!"

Upon hearing her, Gao De turned his gaze to Ding Fan, looking at him quite peculiarly and then questioned:

"So it's you, being obstinate, don't you know where you are? This is Lan City! Here, what I say goes, understood?"

"Lord Gao, you really have quite the audacity! I wonder what your city lord would think of how you are treating the Vice City Lord of Dancheng?"

Ding Fan sarcastically retorted.

Hearing this, Gao De couldn't help but be surprised, Dancheng's Vice City Lord? Gao De looked at Fang Zhongwen beside him. Fang Zhongwen, with an awkward look, said to Gao De:

"He is indeed the Vice City Lord of Dancheng, has the jade plate, I've witnessed it, there's no doubt!"

Hearing Fang Zhongwen's words, Gao De couldn't help but be taken aback, evidently not expecting the young man before him to be the Vice City Lord of Dancheng. The concept of the Vice City Lord of Dancheng was something Gao De fully understood, causing him to fall silent for a moment, all while sizing up Ding Fan.

Gao De then moved over to Ding Fan, disdainfully saying:

"Even if you are the Vice City Lord of Dancheng, you cannot run rampant in my Lan City! I'll tell you, this here is Lan City!"

As he spoke, Gao De suddenly unleashed the cultivation of the Spirit Severing Initial Stage. Witnessing this, Tong Xie's heart couldn't help but feel a twinge of arrogance, clearly believing that with Lan City's Vice City Lord intervening, no matter how formidable Ding Fan was, he couldn't possibly go against Lan City!
