"I will protect this person. If you dare to kill him, I will destroy your City Lord's Mansion!"
As this voice rang out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
With a bang, everyone exploded.
Who was it that dared to be so arrogant!
To speak such rebellious words in front of the City Lord and so many powerful figures from the City Lord's Mansion, did they not want to live?
Xiong Kuang laughed without anger.
He temporarily stopped his intention to kill Ji Hong, wanting to see who in Star Sand City dared to threaten to destroy his City Lord's Mansion!
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.
They saw a young, tall, and slender figure emerge from the Liu family's side.
He wore the simplest gray cloth clothes, like a poor scholar. There was no fluctuation of true qi on his body, making him incredibly ordinary.
Yet, it was such a young man who had just threatened to destroy the City Lord's Mansion!
"Who is this person? Has he gone mad!"
"I haven't seen this person before. Judging by his appearance, he doesn't seem to be from any major power. He has neither strength nor background, so how dare he offend the City Lord's Mansion? He's tired of living."
"Hmm, I think he seems to have come from the Liu family's side. Could he be from the Liu family?"
"Heh heh, what is the Liu family doing? Even if this person isn't from the Liu family, the Liu family will definitely be implicated. The Liu family is in great trouble this time."
The strong individuals of Star Sand City discussed among themselves.
On the high platform, Xiong Kuang narrowed his eyes.
Even with his strength, he could not detect any martial power fluctuations from Ling Fan.
He truly could not understand how such an ordinary young man dared to speak such arrogant words to him!
Behind him, the Young City Lord Xiong Fei's eyes had already widened.
"Damn it, this kid has come here so arrogantly!"
He stood up abruptly.
"Xiao Fei, who is this person?"
Xiong Kuang asked.
Xiong Fei quickly recounted what had happened in the Tianxin Tower to Xiong Kuang, and Xiong Kuang's expression immediately turned icy.
So it was this person who had beaten his precious son!
And now he dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
Hmph.
Today, no matter how great Ling Fan's background was, he would make him wish he were dead and unable to live.
Furthermore, his guard of the Xuan Gang Realm would also be executed to display the majesty of his City Lord's Mansion!
On the Liu family's side.
When Ling Fan walked out, Liu Xiwei had already sensed that something was amiss.
However, before she could even stop him, Ling Fan had already uttered that world-shattering statement.
"Damn it, this kid has gone crazy! Hurry up and get back here."
"Damn it, if you want to die, don't drag us, the Liu family, down with you."
"Hurry up and shut up! Do you know what you're saying?"
"It's over, it's over. This kid is going to get us, the Liu family, killed this time."
The strong members of the Liu family were terrified by Ling Fan's rebellious words.
Liu Xi Ran's small face was also filled with fear. That was the City Lord's Mansion, the ruler of Star Sand City!
Before, Ling Fan had only offended Xiong Fei, the Young City Lord, and there was still room for maneuver. But now, in front of all the strong individuals of Star Sand City, he had completely offended the City Lord's Mansion.
Now, the Liu family could barely protect themselves, let alone protect Ling Fan.
Liu Yu Bei's expression also completely changed.
He had initially thought that Ling Fan was merely relying on the Lan family's background and the relationship between the Lan family and the Liu family, which was why he was so presumptuous.
But he never expected Ling Fan to be so audacious!
He even dared to offend the City Lord's Mansion.
"Damn it, damn it! I shouldn't have taken this kid in back then. Now I've brought about a monstrous disaster."
Liu Yu Bei regretted it immensely.
At this moment, only Ji Hong, who was swaying precariously on the battle stage, looked at Ling Fan and showed a simple smile when he saw Ling Fan step out.
However, coupled with the blood all over his body, the smile looked as tragic as it could be.
Ling Fan also returned a smile.
His expression was relaxed and natural.
He felt no pressure whatsoever.
Under countless shocked gazes, he slowly and calmly walked onto the battle stage, reaching the very center of the entire martial arts arena.
He clasped his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly, and looked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"I have two purposes this time. First, to save Ji Hong's life."
He said from afar in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
On the high platform, killing intent flickered on Xiong Kuang's body. He was not in a hurry to kill Ling Fan now. In his eyes, Ling Fan was already a dead man.
It was only a matter of time.
He said with some interest, "Oh? I'd like to hear your second purpose."
Ling Fan continued, "Secondly, I think the allocation of spots for Star Sand Lake is problematic, and I intend to reallocate them."
As soon as Ling Fan said this, the entire venue erupted in an uproar again.
Before, everyone was shocked by Ling Fan's audacity.
Now, they all wore expressions of disdain, looking at Ling Fan as if he were a clown.
"Who does this person think he is, speaking as if he were the King of Heaven!"
"Tch, young people nowadays are truly arrogant and ignorant. Who does he think he is?"
In the vast Star Sand City, so many major powers and influential families could not decide the ownership of the spots and could only obey the City Lord's Mansion's allocation! He suddenly jumped out and said he wanted to distribute the spots according to his wishes. What did he think he was?
A direct descendant of a super-rich family in Tianchu Province?
Or a true disciple of one of those transcendent cultivation sects?
Or perhaps the heir of the Governor of Tianchu Province?
If he were such a great figure, he would have some qualifications to interfere with the allocation of Star Sand Lake spots. After all, with his status and position, even Xiong Kuang, the City Lord of Star Sand City, would not dare to offend him easily.
But looking at Ling Fan's demeanor, where was such presence?
He was completely unlike such a prodigy.
To put it bluntly, any one of the geniuses present would be ten or a hundred times stronger than this young man.
How dare he say such shocking words!
On the City Lord's Mansion's side, everyone laughed.
Especially Xiong Fei, he laughed with great delight, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
On the other hand, the Liu family.
All the Liu family members had extremely unsightly expressions, their gazes towards Ling Fan wishing they could carve him into a thousand pieces.
"Sweetie, this guy is definitely an idiot, a big idiot!"
"If he wants to die, fine, but don't drag us down with him, damn it!"
As expected, Xiong Kuang looked at the Liu family head, Liu Yu Bei, with a smile that was not a smile.
"Patriarch Liu, what is going on? What is the relationship between this person and your Liu family?"
Liu Yu Bei wished he could disappear at this moment, not wanting anyone to pay attention to their Liu family.
But now that Xiong Kuang had spoken, he could not avoid it.
He could only brace himself and say, "Reporting to the City Lord, this person's name is Ling Fan. He is the live-in son-in-law of the Lan family of Jiangnan City. He has no relation to our Liu family whatsoever. His suicidal actions have even less to do with our Liu family. I implore the City Lord to see clearly!"
Liu Yu Bei immediately distanced himself, not wanting to be associated with Ling Fan in any way.
Liu Xi Ran anxiously said, "Daddy, it's not like that. How can you not care about Ling Fan Gege..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Yu Bei was anxious and glared fiercely at Liu Xi Ran.
Liu Xi Wei, instead of comforting Liu Xi Ran, sided with her father and stopped Liu Xi Ran, fearing that this innocent and simple sister would cause more trouble for the family.
