Once, I wanted to be a good person

The moment these two pieces of news were discovered, the reaction from all sides was unanimous: Has the always unrestrained Fang Ze chickened out?

.....

"Damn it, catching a cold? He's an Awakener at the peak of the Fusion stage, with incredible Martial Arts Cultivation, could he really catch a cold?"

In the Jiang Family, Jiang Cheng angrily berated Fang Ze for talking nonsense in front of his father,

"He's definitely scared!"

Listening to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng's father sat at the main seat, eyes full of contemplation, "Then why would he be scared?"

Jiang Cheng said, "Because the Demigod's believers are planning to assassinate him. Someone tipped him off."

Jiang Cheng's father said, "The Federation is guarding the Mortality-Shedding Fruit, the highest Demigod believer is only at the Yang Transformation stage. Their family now has three Mortality-Shedding stages, and nine Yang Transformation stages."

"Moreover, this matter has caused such a stir, the various forces are willing to protect him, to gain favor."

"Why would he be scared?"

Jiang Cheng was speechless for a moment. He hesitated for a long time, then questioned himself, "Yeah, why would he be scared?"

Jiang Cheng's father slowly shook his head, "There are two possibilities: One, he's fishing, two, he's using this method to subtly convey a message to us various forces."

Jiang Cheng asked, "What message?"

Jiang Cheng's father's gaze grew serious, "This matter might not be as simple as we think. Fang Ze has sensed danger."

Jiang Cheng frowned....

...

Provincial Government, Special Service Department.

The minister of the Special Service Department, Black Charcoal, looked at the people below with a puzzled expression, "When did we negotiate with Fang Ze? And agreed to use the Mortality-Shedding Fruit as a bargaining chip?"

His subordinates also had puzzled looks, exchanged glances, then shook their heads in unison.

Seeing everyone denying vehemently, the black-faced man had a strange expression.

He frowned deeply, muttering, "What on earth is Fang Ze trying to do?"

"Why did he release this false information?"

"And such an easily exposed false information."

"No... not so easily exposed. Their family did indeed produce a new Mortality-Shedding stage a few days ago."

As he pondered, the black-faced man's body suddenly paused, then he frowned deeply, "Could it be... he's trying to convey a message to us?"

"He's sensed danger, has something changed with the Demigods?"

"So is he still going to Congyun City or not?"

.....

Countryside outside the Provincial Government, a farmer's small courtyard.

He Weidao, at some point, changed into a luxurious, neat Chairperson's uniform.

With hands behind his back, he looked towards the direction of the Provincial Government, his gaze deep...

...

Even the top forces who knew a lot of information couldn't figure out Fang Ze's intentions, let alone the other forces in the Provincial Government.

Fang Ze's sudden move further muddied the already murky waters of the Provincial Government. It even affected those Demigod believers who had been watching the changes in the Provincial Government....

And just like that, after a day's fermentation. In the evening, the Si family's convoy grandly left the city under the watchful eyes of the public.

Fang Ze was indeed not in the convoy, the leader of the convoy was Black Bull, the Si family's top expert to the outside world.

Seeing this, the various forces basically confirmed their speculation today: Fang Ze seems to have really chickened out and didn't dare to leave the city?

But, just when everyone thought the matter was settled, suddenly, they were surprised to discover that when the Si family convoy left, two more groups secretly departed from the Spirit Realm.

One group consisted of Fang Ze, Hei Po, Hei Yu and several others of the Yang Transformation stage....

And another group carried the escape extraordinary artifact Black Shadow....

Although they left quietly, Fang Ze and their movement was not small, their presence was hardly concealed, and except for not reporting, they walked openly, which suddenly left the various forces bewildered.

What exactly is Fang Ze doing?

Wasn't he scared, then decided not to go?

Or perhaps... he wants to take both an open and a hidden route, so the Demigods can't locate his True Body, reducing danger?

But that doesn't make sense... the way he's leaving, anyone with connections would know he left through the Spirit Realm. It's impossible to hide his presence?

While the various forces in the Provincial Government couldn't understand Fang Ze's actions..... in a pitch-black secret room, several Black Shadows appeared one after another.

They were clearly not physical, but more like holographic images.

When they appeared in the room, a deep discussion echoed in the room,

"Fang Ze has set off."

"Understood."

"But he split his forces into three routes, unclear what he's doing."

One Black Shadow said, "What else could it be for? Nothing but fear of dying, wanting us to split forces, to lessen the pressure."

Another Black Shadow questioned, "But how did he know we would be a threat to him?"

The room fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, a Black Shadow said, "Garo. Are you sure the plan hasn't been leaked?"

A Black Shadow towards the back middle chuckled, "Don't worry. Definitely not."

"Besides, I actually know why Fang Ze would split into three routes."

"He's actually a good person, he's worried that once fighting breaks out in the Real World, it would cause a Law Tide, and would lead to his subordinates who are escorting resources dying needlessly, so he only brought a few experts to go through the Spirit Realm."

"As to why he released those messages....."

"Clearly, he wants to test whether we are targeting him, or that special ability which can circumvent Demigod protection."

Hearing Dahei Garo's words, the room fell silent momentarily. Then several Black Shadows all nodded, thinking the analysis made sense.

At this time, the leading Black Shadow said, "Don't get complacent. This matter must be handled both beautifully and swiftly."

"Since we are striking, there's no need to hide anything. Fang Ze must be eliminated, and that person who can bypass the Demigod's authority must also be dealt with."

After saying this, the Black Shadow asked, "Are your believers all in position?"

"In position."

"In position."

"Then we'll adjourn the meeting. Everyone execute according to plan, after success, we'll drink tea together! Heh heh heh."

Laughter echoed in the secret room, as if heralding the start of a mad era....

...

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Realm.

Fang Ze dressed in soft armor, along with Hei Yu, Hei Po, and others, was moving swiftly forward.

This was Fang Ze's first official journey in the Spirit Realm, and it was in the wilds of the Spirit Realm no less.

Thus, it was his first time witnessing what is called..... the apocalypse.

What are those?

Mushrooms towering into the clouds, spraying milky white spores....

Flying in the sky, with cries sounding like a baby's wail, humanoid-headed hawks....

Rising from the ground, battling with enormous stones, face-like trees....

And metallic-looking grass, soil soft as cotton....

No sign of human life anywhere, nor traces of intelligent beings.

Only wide pipelines erected and starting from the Provincial Government, extending in all directions to the horizon....

And yet, disaster creatures constantly lunged at that pipeline, trying to destroy it.

"Is this a real-world highway?" Fang Ze asked Hei Yu.

In the Spirit Realm, Hei Yu's wings were spread as she flew beside Fang Ze, nodding slightly, "Yes."

During their journey, disaster creatures occasionally attempted to attack them.

However, Hei Po and the others, having played hide and seek for so many years, seemed well-practiced in surviving in the Spirit Realm, so without much of a move, those disaster creatures were cracked into pieces.

Coming back from being shocked by the Spirit Realm's scenery, Fang Ze looked back thoughtfully, then asked, "Can you sense how many are behind us?"

Hearing Fang Ze, Hei Po, following beside him, slowly said, "Young Master, behind us there are about eight people. All are experts of the Yang Transformation stage and Mortality-Shedding stage."

Fang Ze was not surprised, with so many forces in the Provincial Government, even if he was faking, since he didn't deliberately conceal himself, it's reasonable there are so many following.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Did they all follow from the Provincial Government? Any follow from outside the Provincial Government?"

Fang Ze was clearly probing for the Demigod believers.

But unfortunately, Hei Po shook her head, "No one followed from outside the Provincial Government."

Fang Ze nodded, then continued to run towards the predetermined target, speaking thoughtfully, "How far are we from Congyun City?"

Hei Po said, "At our speed, about 18 hours."

Fang Ze said, "Maintain enough strength, then take turns standing guard. The enemy might ambush us anywhere along the way."

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.
