Once, I wanted to be a good person

Aside from that, to prevent the other party from not taking action, Fang Ze nodded to Hei Po and the others, indicating a slight change in the original plan's direction toward Black Mountain Castle.

Seeing Fang Ze's gesture, Hei Po and her group immediately understood and adjusted their direction.

Because the distance was great, just a slight adjustment in direction caused a significant change in the group's route: it was closer to Black Mountain Castle.

In this way, they traveled for over half an hour. As they got closer to their destination, while trekking through a swamp, suddenly, a piercing scream came from the swamp. Three or four figures in gray hoods sprang up from the swamp, brandishing hooks as they charged toward Fang Ze!

At that moment, both Fang Ze's group and the powers trailing behind them felt relieved: It's here!

The greatest fear is not danger but the unknown. Previously, the Demigod followers never acted, leaving everyone unsure of their means and strength, so everyone's hearts were on edge.

But now that they made a move, there was no more apprehension, only response!

Thinking this, Fang Ze and the others exchanged a glance, then... they took off running!

At that moment, the four Demigod followers attacking were taken aback: ??

The forces from the provincial government trailing behind Fang Ze: ???

Because Fang Ze's group was very strong, the Demigod followers simply couldn't stop them, and could only watch helplessly as Fang Ze and his group escaped.

Seeing this, the powers following Fang Ze were also dumbfounded.

They watched Fang Ze escape, then looked at the Demigod followers who had jumped out.

After a moment, an elder laughed heartily and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this old man can no longer run, so leave these few small fry to me."

Hearing his words, the other experts slightly cupped their hands and continued on. Meanwhile, the elder moved his form gracefully like a specter, swiftly reaching the midst of the Demigod followers, and soon, the two sides were engaged in battle.

The elder was evidently strong, at least at the peak of Yang Transformation, but upon contacting those Demigod followers, he was stunned.

It wasn't that these Demigod followers were strong, but rather weak, too weak, only at the Spirit Ascension level! Such assassins were no more than cannon fodder!

Due to the vast difference in level, it only took a few seconds for the elder to effortlessly decapitate these Demigod followers.

After killing the relatively weak Demigod followers, the elder frowned, looked in Fang Ze's direction, hesitated for a moment, then continued his pursuit.....

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Realm, near a plain close to Congyun City.

On the plain, there was a hill over twenty meters high. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the hill had a head, torso, and limbs, resembling a living creature.

But at this moment, the creature lay dead, a large hole through its abdomen, leaving it tragically dead on the plain.

In the hole in its abdomen, several figures were conversing softly,

"The bait failed?"

"Yes. Fang Ze is very cautious, he won't fall for it."

"Hmm... no matter. His Eminence anticipated this situation and laid out other measures, he won't escape."

Meanwhile, just as this figure had said.

As if stepping into the Demigod followers' domain, even after Fang Ze's group left the swamp, waves of Demigod followers continued to attack Fang Ze. They were tireless, fearless of death, with only one purpose: to pounce on Fang Ze.

Each time they encountered such a situation, Fang Ze's group would immediately evade, leaving everything to the experts from the following powers to handle.

Even when facing those they couldn't avoid, Hei Po and Hei Yu would direct other Yang Transformation level individuals to intervene, preventing Fang Ze from making contact with the attackers.

As the encounters increased, Fang Ze's group noticed something odd: the Demigod followers intercepting them seemed generally weak, none reaching the Yang Transformation level.

This level of strength was insufficient to assassinate Fang Ze, more like a suicide squad achieving some goal.....

This made Fang Ze's group more vigilant and protective of Fang Ze, while the Demigod followers directing the operation grew more agitated.

At the hole in the abdomen of the hill creature.

Several figures were fiercely arguing,

"We can't keep this up! If this continues, Fang Ze will truly escape! If His Eminence holds us accountable, none of us will bear it!"

"Exactly! We can't continue like this!"

"Do you think it's within our power? He's slippery like an eel, impossible to catch!"

In the midst of the argument, the leading figure asked, "Where is Fang Ze now?"

As he spoke, someone immediately replied, "Ten kilometers from Black Soil City."

Upon hearing this, the leading figure decisively said, "Fine, enough arguing! We must act now! Black Soil City is too close to Yun City, if we don't act now, it will be too late."

"So, even if it means sacrificing one of us to trigger the device, we must stop him!"
