At this moment, the judge elder beside Elder Wang heard Elder Wang's words and couldn't help but say:

"Elder Wang, this kid looks like he's just causing trouble. The alchemy cauldron has already exploded, and what he was refining is now wasted. There's no need to keep him around to cause more trouble."

"Yes, Elder Wang, it's clear that the kid is just causing trouble. Look at the alchemists around him, each of them is already quite resentful. After all, our Great Alchemy Competition has rules, doesn't it? Someone causing trouble like this should be kicked out immediately!"

"Elder Wang, you better make a decision soon, or else all the alchemists in this group will be delayed by him!"

"Elder Wang..."

At this moment, the judge elder began to persuade Elder Wang. Clearly, everyone had already determined that Ding Fan was the troublemaker. However, some didn't understand why even they could see the situation clearly, but why couldn't Elder Wang? That's absolutely impossible, so what was Elder Wang hesitating about?

For a moment, Elder Wang couldn't help but furrow his brow. He was clearly aware that the other's performance had already displeased many people. Now, most of the judges wanted to expel him from the competition area. Elder Wang knew that, even though the opponent might be a genius, his alchemy cauldron had exploded, which meant the medicine pill was gone. He still didn't understand one thing: the opponent's skill in using medicinal materials was very proficient, even surpassing most alchemists, so how could he make such a mistake?

Right now, Elder Wang also saw Ding Fan's appearance, as if he hadn't given up. But Elder Wang felt incredible. How could it be not over when the opponent's alchemy cauldron had exploded? Originally, he was very reluctant to suspect that the opponent was trying to attract attention, but now the opponent's appearance leaves Elder Wang no other reason not to believe.

Just as Elder Wang was about to follow everyone's suggestion, suddenly he thought, what if the opponent really hadn't finished refining? What if the opponent truly was a genius? If a single decision of his caused a genius to miss out on this Great Alchemy Competition, then he would be committing a sin!

"Kick him out!"

"Yes! Let that waste get out!"

"This kind of alchemist doesn't deserve to participate in the Great Alchemy Competition!"

"..."

For a moment, the audience outside suddenly became emotional. Clearly, in their eyes, Ding Fan was just an attention-seeking waste and definitely shouldn't be allowed to participate in the Alchemist Competition!

At this moment, it wasn't just the audience in Wuji Square. The spectators in the nearby teahouses also saw the scene of Ding Fan's alchemy cauldron explosion and couldn't help but feel disdain for him. Clearly, such an alchemist doesn't deserve to participate in the Alchemist Competition, and their voices were very loud.

He Qianyao saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a bit panicked. She obviously didn't expect the situation to develop like this. She firmly believed that Ding Fan wasn't just trying to attract attention, and he was using some special means. But if Ding Fan was forced to stop the competition at this moment, then whatever means he had wouldn't be able to be used. Thinking of this, He Qianyao couldn't help but worry for Ding Fan.

"How do you know the opponent is causing trouble? Can't an alchemist's cauldron just explode? It's just an accident!"

At this moment, He Qianyao heard the people's comments about Ding Fan and couldn't help but retort on Ding Fan's behalf. Although she couldn't bear others defaming Ding Fan, He Qianyao knew she absolutely must not reveal her and Ding Fan's identities. After all, He Qianyao knew she and Ding Fan came here not only to participate in the Great Alchemy Competition but also to inquire about the Wild Wolf Gang's next plan.

After all, there could be Wild Wolf Gang informants everywhere here. If she carelessly let it slip, it would be a very unwise move, and their situation would become very dangerous.

"I say, young lady! I think you just don't understand! The opponent put so many spiritual materials together in the cauldron, it was bound to explode. This is no accident!"

"Yes, yes, it's clearly just causing trouble to get famous!"

"I advise the young lady not to be deceived by them..."

...

He Qianyao barely said a word and immediately faced a counterattack from the cultivators. Seeing this, He Qianyao couldn't help but cease speaking further, realizing that even if she continued speaking, it would only be a drop in the ocean. She could only silently pray for Ding Fan in her heart.

At this moment, in the VIP room, Sun Hua saw the scene outside and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. Clearly, this was the result he most wanted to see. As soon as the opponent was kicked out, it would be their turn to take the stage!

"Heizi! Call someone to get ready! The time for you to take revenge has come!"

At this moment, Sun Hua said with a sinisterly pleased expression to a man beside him.

The middle-aged man heard Sun Hua's words, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, followed by an extremely serious look appearing on his face. Clearly, the middle-aged man had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He quickly replied:

"Yes! Rest assured, Young Master!"

The middle-aged man, with a sinister and pleased expression, finished speaking and quickly left the VIP room.

...

At this moment, Ding Fan obviously also heard the surrounding discussions and clamors. Ding Fan knew clearly that the alchemists participating in the Great Alchemy Competition were not ordinary people; they evidently already had some reputation locally. This time, coming to participate in the Great Alchemy Competition, certainly, many people were accompanying them. Clearly, his previous scene really disturbed other alchemists.

It's clear that the people accompanying the alchemists participating in the Great Alchemy Competition have started voicing their support for their chosen alchemists. At this moment, Ding Fan has obviously realized that his situation is no longer optimistic, and he knows that he doesn't have much time left.

Immediately, Ding Fan began to increase his output of Divine Sense, adjusting the alchemy fire in the cauldron to its maximum state. He knew that he didn't have much time left; clearly, he needed to complete the refinement of the medicine pill in the cauldron as quickly as possible. After all, the medicine pill in the cauldron would only take a few more minutes to refine, and Ding Fan had to seize this last opportunity.

At this moment, an elder in the judge area heard the calls from the audience outside and immediately said to Elder Wang on behalf of everyone:

"Elder Wang, listen to the discussions outside! If we don't make a decision soon, we might incite public outrage!"

"Yes, Elder Wang, please think twice!"

"Elder Wang!"

...

The judges in the judge area pleaded desperately with Elder Wang, obviously feeling extreme disgust towards Ding Fan. At this point, the opponent had even caused the alchemy cauldron to explode, clearly producing nothing. There was absolutely no reason to keep him. After all, the audience was already agitated, and if no decision was made soon, it would clearly stir up public anger!

"Alright."

Finally, Elder Wang let out a soft sigh and then couldn't help but think with a sigh, whether the opponent is a genius or not, this is as much as I can help. If the opponent is truly just seeking attention, then I can be at ease...

At this moment, the judges nearby heard Elder Wang's words and immediately agreed. Immediately, a judge directly said to a staff member next to him:

"Go! Send someone to drive that fellow out!"

The staff member was a young male cultivator. Upon hearing the elder judge's words, he replied:

"Yes!"

After the young cultivator spoke, he directly led a few young cultivators toward Ding Fan. The strength of these cultivators was not weak, all being at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, and even the leading one was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

In a short while, several young cultivators reached Ding Fan's side.

At this moment, seeing this scene, the crowd couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Clearly, they could see that the officials of the Great Alchemy Competition had decided to expel that young man! Evidently, many among the crowd were extremely satisfied with this development, which was what they wanted to see. Also, it wasn't just the scene they wanted, but clearly, the alchemists around Ding Fan were all quite pleased.

It was obvious that these young cultivators were here to kick that fellow out.

Now, the leading young cultivator walked up to Ding Fan and, with an unfriendly look, said to Ding Fan:

"You are disqualified from the competition! Please leave!"

At this moment, Ding Fan remained intently focused on the alchemy cauldron, seemingly not having heard the young cultivator's words, completely pretending not to hear!

The young cultivator was momentarily stunned when he saw that Ding Fan had no reaction. Clearly, he hadn't expected a contestant at the Great Alchemy Competition to dare not follow orders; wasn't that just courting death!

"Hey! I told you to get out!"

At this moment, the young cultivator's voice suddenly increased by several decibels as he shouted at Ding Fan. But Ding Fan remained extraordinarily focused on the alchemy cauldron, completely ignoring these people.

Watching this scene, the young cultivator couldn't help but be momentarily stunned. He then took out the short stick in his hand and prepared to charge at Ding Fan!

The crowd watched this scene unfold and couldn't help but start feeling nervous, unsure about what was going on with Ding Fan! They had to know that these cultivators were from the City Lord Mansion, and this was Dancheng during the Great Alchemy Competition. Was anyone really daring to cause trouble here?

Not only was the alchemist next to Ding Fan shocked to see this, but clearly couldn't believe that the fellow dared to ignore the people from the City Lord Mansion; wasn't that courting death!

The audience outside, seeing this scene with Ding Fan, couldn't help but be shocked as well, not expecting anyone to cause trouble at the Great Alchemy Competition. Was it really unlucky! They knew this competition had always been strictly conducted, and clearly, if they caused trouble, the consequences would be severe, as the strength of the City Lord Mansion in Dancheng was not to be underestimated.

After all, normally, Wuji Square was heavily guarded, and there was no one who dared to cause trouble here. Let alone during the Great Alchemy Competition, clearly anyone who dared to cause trouble here was looking for death!

He Qianyao saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise and became very worried about Ding Fan. Clearly, if Ding Fan were to have a conflict with the people from the City Lord Mansion now, it wouldn't be good for the two of them.

Now, the young cultivator had taken out the short stick, but Ding Fan remained unfazed, still unmoving. The young cultivator turned and glanced at the judge area. Although he was seething with anger, he had to obtain the elder judge's approval to act; otherwise, he could not act rashly. At this moment, the elder judge also witnessed Ding Fan's state, feeling extremely angry, clearly not expecting Ding Fan to be so stubborn at this point!

Then, the elder judge heavily nodded at the young cultivator, indicating his agreement!
