Auntie Two grabbed Lan Tianxiong and acted shamelessly, "I don't care, third brother, you must save me, otherwise my mother and son are doomed today! Since you can book such a top-tier private room as Chunjiangyue, you must have a way! Otherwise, let's all wait for death together!"
Lan Tianxiong was utterly speechless.
Li Huimei also sighed repeatedly, anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.
She couldn't help but glance at Ling Fan.
Her son-in-law was indeed very capable.
But no matter how capable, could he contend against a transcendent force like the Pill Pavilion of Tianchu City?
Moreover, the influence of a Dan Master could not be simply measured by personal strength.
Ling Fan, no matter how powerful, was just one person!
In a place like Tianchu City, full of hidden talents, he might not be invincible.
She couldn't help but have a question in her heart.
Furthermore, if this trivial matter implicated her son-in-law, she and Lan Tianxiong wouldn't know what face they would have to face Ling Fan in the future.
Only Lan Xueyi remained relatively calm.
She glanced at Ling Fan.
She also did not want her husband to intervene for such a matter.
So she said to Lan Tianxiong, "Dad, before Dan Master Qian and the others arrive, let's leave quickly."
"Right! Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best!"
Lan Tianxiong immediately made up his mind.
But before they could get up.
The door of the private room was violently kicked open.
A group of powerful individuals with imposing auras filed in.
The person at the forefront wore the attire of a Yellow-grade High-rank Dan Master from the Pill Pavilion.
It was that Dan Master Qian.
Accompanying Dan Master Qian was a young man around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
His face was effeminate, and his gaze was sinister.
At a glance, he was clearly a ruthless character.
Behind the two were several martial artists with strong and profound auras.
Each of them was no weaker than Lan Tianxiong, and one even reached the peak of the Profound Gang Realm!
"Ah! Spare us, spare us!"
Auntie Two and Sun Jian immediately trembled like sieves, immediately kneeling and kowtowing to Dan Master Qian.
Dan Master Qian held his head high.
His eyes revealed a look of utter disdain.
What was the Lan clan to him?
A mere middle-tier aristocratic family.
How dare they act presumptuously in front of him, a dignified Yellow-grade High-rank Dan Master.
Moreover, this brat had no talent for alchemy at all, yet he dared to pester him to take him as a disciple, which was a complete insult to him.
He even dared to threaten him with wild words.
What did he take Qian Yuan for!
If he didn't crush this mother and son today, people in Tianchu City would think he, Dan Master Qian, was easy to provoke!
Dan Master Qian was burning with rage.
Because Ling Fan's position was directly facing away from Dan Master Qian.
And Dan Master Qian's attention was on Auntie Two and her son, so he didn't notice Ling Fan.
The sinister young man beside him, in his early twenties, observed the situation.
Seeing Dan Master Qian's attitude, he knew what he should do.
He immediately snorted coldly, "Hmph, you crazy woman, didn't you just tell us to wait and see? We've come ourselves now. Let's see what backing you have that makes you dare to be presumptuous in front of Dan Master Qian!"
"It was him, yes, it was him! He told me to bring my son to apprentice, saying he would take responsibility for any problems, and that there was nothing in Tianchu City he couldn't handle!"
Auntie Two, in her panic, made up a story and sold out Lan Tianxiong to save herself.
Lan Tianxiong was dumbfounded.
He never imagined that Auntie Two would push him into a fire pit just to save her own life!
The sinister young man in his early twenties cast a contemptuous glance at Lan Tianxiong.
While ordering his men, "Come, slap this mother and son hard! Don't stop until I say so."
He then walked towards Lan Tianxiong.
A series of cracking sounds followed.
Within seconds, Auntie Two and Sun Jian, the mother and son, were beaten into pig heads, their cries like that of slaughtered pigs.
The sinister young man in his early twenties then looked at Lan Tianxiong with a cold smile.
"I am He Jingtang of the He family from the Dark Martial Hall. State your name. If you are truly formidable, I won't kill you. If you have no status or strength, then I apologize, you will all be fed to the fish in the Chu River today."
The He family of the Dark Martial Hall, He Jingtang!
As soon as this name was uttered.
Auntie Two, Auntie Three, and the others all shivered in fear.
More than ten days ago, the Hall Master of the Dark Martial Hall, the six great protectors, and Young Master Moxie were all annihilated by an unknown Grandmaster.
And Liu Han, the former Deputy Protector of the Dark Martial Hall's underground trading market, gained the trust of that unknown Grandmaster and was able to reorganize the Dark Martial Hall.
This He family was a newly rising noble in the underworld.
It had more than one quasi-Heavenly Origin Realm expert guarding it.
Besides Liu Han and that Ji Hong.
This He family could be considered the number three giant of the new Dark Martial Hall.
They had not only provoked Dan Master Qian.
But also provoked a new giant of the Dark Martial Hall.
Now they were truly doomed!
Seeing He Jingtang's arrogant and overbearing attitude, Lan Tianxiong couldn't help but suppress his anger and say, "Young Master He, I am Lan Tianxiong, the head of the Lan family of Jiangnan City. My second sister and the others were disrespectful in their words just now, but their offense is not punishable by death. You have hit them and scolded them, shouldn't you stop now!"
"What nonsense Jiangnan City Lan family? I've never even heard of it! I really don't know how you managed to get into the private room at Jianghe Tower. And... who do you think you are, to dare to tell me what to do!"
He Jingtang smiled contemptuously.
Auntie Two, Auntie Three, and the others were immediately filled with despair.
It was over!
Third brother's name was useless, they didn't buy it at all.
Just then.
A faint voice sounded.
"And who do you think you are, disturbing our family's meal? Do you want to die?"
Upon hearing this voice.
Everyone was instantly startled!
And Dan Master Qian, for some reason...
Felt this voice... somewhat familiar!
As he was desperately trying to recall where he had heard this voice before.
He Jingtang, on the other hand, was so angered that he laughed. "Heh heh, how interesting."
He didn't expect that there were still people in Tianchu City who dared to speak to him like this.
Did they really think their He family, the new noble of the Dark Martial Hall, was famous for nothing?
No!
It was carved out through rivers of blood.
"I admire your courage, but... anyone who dares to speak to me like this will die! And them, they will all be buried with you for this single offense."
He Jingtang's voice turned sharp, and as he spoke, his sinister gaze shot out and followed the sound.
Auntie Two, Auntie Three, and the others were immediately anxious.
Why was third brother's useless son-in-law courting death at such a critical moment?
Now it was good.
They would all have to die with him.
The person who had just spoken could only be Ling Fan.
Soon.
He Jingtang turned his head.
And saw Ling Fan's appearance!
It was this glance.
He was struck as if by lightning.
