The villagers of Niutian Village stood to the side, bewildered. Lu Fan's earlier words were enough to strike fear into their hearts.
Zhao Dalei was a figure of considerable influence, practically a law unto himself within the entire Clear Water Town. Everyone feared him, and now Lu Fan declared his intention to kill Zhao Dalei, causing them to worry.
"What should we do now?"
One man spoke up, "Immortal Lu has shown us great kindness. If he truly does this, Clear Water Sect will never let him go!"
"Since Mr. Lu has made his choice, he must have his reasons!"
Jiang Dahe spoke, "We don't need to worry too much. After all, Immortal Lu can handle Zhao Dalei. But everyone must keep their mouths shut. No matter who asks later, say you know nothing!"
The villagers of Niutian Village nodded in unison, not daring to delay. They understood the gravity of the situation. If Lu Fan were exposed, he would surely be hunted.
Meanwhile, not far from Niutian Village, Zhao Dalei was filled with displeasure and a touch of anger. "Damn it, I've lived in Clear Water Town for so many years, and I've never been treated like this. What kind of person is that brat to dare to boss me around!"
"Please, don't be angry!"
A man quickly said, "Inform the Second Young Master. Let him come to Clear Water Town personally and deal with this brat!"
"That's right, that's right, we absolutely cannot let him go!"
Everyone chimed in, their words filled with provocation. They wouldn't miss this opportunity to deal with Lu Fan's arrogance.
Zhao Dalei frowned slightly. "My second brother is in seclusion at Clear Water Sect. It's not a good time to disturb him. After a few more days, I'll go deal with them at Clear Water Sect!"
The men nodded, not daring to say more.
However, they knew that once the Zhao family's second son arrived, there would be no problem in Clear Water Town that couldn't be solved.
After all, the second son knew immortals, and dealing with an ordinary immortal would be no challenge.
Upon returning to Clear Water Town, Zhao Dalei ordered a table full of chives and began to enjoy them, appearing quite pleased.
Inside the hotel, the proprietors were somewhat helpless. Zhao Dalei had never paid for his meals at their establishment, and he always ordered a full table. They found it difficult to afford.
"Proprietor, bring a few more pots of wine!"
A man spoke, "The best Nu'er Hong!"
"Sir, Nu'er Hong is sold out!"
The proprietor hurried over. "Can we use yellow wine? We only have yellow wine left!"
"Are you blind? Don't you see Young Master Zhao here?"
The man immediately cursed, "If Young Master Zhao wants to drink red wine, you must serve him red wine. What's with all the nonsense!"
The proprietor looked helpless. "It's not that I don't want to, but we genuinely don't have it. Perhaps you could try another shop?"
"Do you think I'm looking down on you?"
Zhao Dalei said coldly, "Today, I will not only eat in your wine shop, but I will also smash your wine shop! How dare you act tough in front of me?"
With that, Zhao Dalei kicked over the dining table, his expression growing colder.
Seeing this, the men did not hesitate to beat the proprietor severely. This was their usual behavior.
Only by doing this could they intimidate the people of Clear Water Town.
Many people lining the streets cast their gazes and shook their heads helplessly. They had seen such things too often. In Clear Water Town, no one could control them.
After a thorough beating, the proprietor could only accept his fate with helplessness.
Lu Fan witnessed this scene, his eyes flashing with a cold light. His resolve to kill Zhao Dalei solidified.
If such a bully were not dealt with, even Lu Fan would feel uneasy.
As night fell, Zhao Dalei returned to his residence and lay on the bed, snoring loudly, looking quite content. He was the only one in the entire room.
There were many people in other parts of the courtyard, but none were nearby.
Lu Fan broke in and looked at Zhao Dalei, a cold smile appearing on his face.
Zhao Dalei woke up abruptly and was startled to see Lu Fan. "How are you here?"
"Naturally, I'm here to deal with you!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "I really didn't expect you to be so arrogant. You are truly the extreme of what I've seen!"
"I had no intention of making things difficult for you. Why do you want to kill me?"
Zhao Dalei said coldly, "Moreover, you know my brother is no ordinary person. If he finds out you killed me, he will never let you go easily!"
"Do you think I care about those things?"
Lu Fan shrugged, his expression growing colder. "In my eyes, even your brother is nothing. Besides, now that you're dead, who will know that I was the one who did it!"
"You better not do anything rash!"
Zhao Dalei was somewhat terrified. He knew very well that if he were to die an untimely death, no one would be found. Even if his brother came, it would be useless.
"When you were bullying others, did you ever consider that you might end up like this?"
Lu Fan's expression turned cold. "I didn't intend to kill you initially, but then I thought, given your character, you would definitely not let the villagers of Niutian Village off. It's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly!"
"I swear, I will never lay a hand on anyone from Niutian Village!"
Zhao Dalei said earnestly, his eyes filled with seriousness, becoming increasingly nervous.
Lu Fan shook his head at his words. "I don't believe any of that. I prefer to believe a dead person. Only when someone is gone can they pose no threat!"
Zhao Dalei's face changed. He knew Lu Fan would not let him go. Now, the only thing he could do was escape.
Unfortunately, as soon as he moved, Lu Fan had already killed him, showing no mercy. Lu Fan did not care about such scum.
"Killing him might cause trouble!"
Lin Ke spoke, "Should we leave Clear Water Town?"
"It's not time to leave yet!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "I need to ensure the safety of the villagers of Niutian Village before I leave Clear Water Town!"
Lin Ke spoke with a sigh. He understood Lu Fan's character. Once Lu Fan made a decision, he would not easily change it.
The next morning, when the Zhao family discovered Zhao Dalei's death, they were all terrified.
Within the entire Clear Water Town, no one dared to do such a thing, yet it had happened.
At this moment, news quickly spread throughout Clear Water Town, and many rejoiced. Although they didn't know who had taken action, they were extremely happy that this scourge had been eliminated.
