Once, I wanted to be a good person

Moreover, you should know that this Spatial Barrier Wall has a one-hour time limit. If they keep dragging it out and fail to bring down Fang Ze in the end, everything will be completely reversed! So they can't help but feel a bit anxious!

Fang Ze could see the fatigue gradually showing in several demigod believers. He also knew time was on his side, and if he calmly stalled for time, victory would ultimately be his.

But for some reason, Fang Ze felt incredibly uneasy, as if a massive danger was approaching.

Yet, he couldn't figure out where it was coming from.

Fortunately, he had Bai Ling's [Black Panther] ability, so in the midst of the battle, he quietly activated Bai Ling's [Black Panther] ability.

As soon as the Black Panther Ability was activated, Fang Ze immediately noticed the ominous black mist in front of him had thickened to a jet-black color, dense enough that he couldn't see the surroundings.

The level of crisis truly startled Fang Ze: when Jiang Cheng had plotted against him, preparing to assassinate him as a Yang Transformation, the deathly atmosphere wasn't this thick.

This made Fang Ze's alarm bells ring, while he discreetly surveyed the entire Spatial Barrier Wall.

Indeed, unsurprisingly, a dense mass of deathly aura was gathered not far behind him.

Though no one could be seen there from a human's perspective, Fang Ze still inferred from this scene that someone was indeed hidden within the Spatial Barrier Wall.

He even made certain judgments about that person's strength: they must be of Mortality-Shedding or higher!

After all, the ability of [Black Panther] to seek advantage and avoid harm is not static, but changes with the development of the situation. If it was just an ordinary Yang Transformation, with Fang Ze's strength, once he discovered them, the danger would diminish greatly, and the black mist would significantly reduce.

But in the current situation, even though Fang Ze discovered the hidden believer, the black mist only slightly decreased.

This shows that whether Fang Ze discovered the opponent or not, the opponent was equally dangerous! This clearly indicates the opponent's strength far exceeds Fang Ze's.

Additionally, despite the opponent being so powerful, they still patiently hide aside, observing Fang Ze with caution, clearly an old and crafty character, extremely difficult to handle.

Therefore, Fang Ze figured that even if he used [A Sword from the West] stacked with [Loan Shark], it might not be a hundred percent successful in dealing with him....

The sudden reversal of the situation left Fang Ze's thoughts scattered for a moment.

He couldn't help but ponder whether to use his trump cards early.....

Though he had anticipated the current scenario in advance and prepared trump cards, they still had some drawbacks, and using them solely for survival felt too wasteful....

If only there was a better opportunity....

With this thought, Fang Ze glanced toward the outside of the Spatial Barrier Wall.

At this moment, outside the Spatial Barrier Wall, the experts seemed oblivious to what was happening, faces full of gravity and suspicion, seemingly.... arguing?

Due to being in battle, surrounded by the sound of clashing blades, Fang Ze couldn't hear what they were actually doing, only judging that something seemed amiss outside.

With this thought, Fang Ze pulled back his gaze and looked toward the direction of Black Soil City....

The reason he chose Black Soil City was to use himself as bait, venturing into danger, attracting nearby Dahei Jialuo to watch the battle.

According to his plan, even if Dahei Jialuo didn't take the bait, Xin Yi should have already sent him the specific location of Dahei Jialuo.

Once he had Dahei Jialuo's location, Fang Ze could expose his trump card, exit the battle, and lead people to deal with Dahei Jialuo.

But.... now he has been fighting for over ten minutes, and yet Xin Yi still hasn't sent any message....

Could it be.... he really misjudged someone? Or has some other unexpected circumstance occurred?

....

Meanwhile, as Fang Ze anxiously awaited the moment to break the siege.

Outside the Spatial Barrier Wall, experts from various factions were frowning and conversing intensely.

"Everyone! Something seems a bit off! Right after Family Head Fang Ze was trapped, I sent a message to the nearest Black Soil City asking them to request reinforcements from the Spirit Realm military base."

"Although Black Soil City replied, stating they had requested assistance, it's been over ten minutes, and the military base hasn't appeared. Not even the advance fleet has arrived. This clearly doesn't match their response speed!"

Hearing the person's words, a woman with a stern face said, "Yes, this is indeed suspicious. I also contacted the Defense Team for help five minutes ago and received no response either."

They fell silent for a moment until one of them pointed to Fang Ze in the Spatial Barrier Wall and tentatively guessed, "Could it be..... Family Head Fang Ze, the Defense Team, and the military base....?"

Upon hearing that person's words, the others paused but then immediately dismissed the possibility, "Impossible. The Federal Defense Team has procedures to handle emergencies. Even if privately there's competition or discord, attacking federal officials as demigod believers is a provocation against the Federation."

"If they don't come to aid, not even a commissioner can bear such responsibility."

As the group exchanged and speculated, an elder with white hair standing alone scanned the group and then discreetly looked at Bai Zhi's father by his side.

Despite Bai Zhi's father also frowning at the moment, he didn't seem surprised. This planted a seed of suspicion in the elder's heart.

After a moment, he nodded politely to Bai Zhi's father and then smiled quietly, asking, "Does Family Head Bai seem to know the inside story?"

Bai Zhi's father snapped back to reality, hesitated for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "I don't know."

Although, as he said this, when he looked toward the direction of the state capital, there was a hint of concern and worry in his eyes.....

.....

At the same time.

State capital.

Bai Zhi turned away with a cold expression at the hotel entrance.

Just now, per Aunt Jin's command, she came to see her uncle, but upon arriving at the hotel where the Garo family stayed, she was directly blocked outside.

She negotiated with the guard out front for a while, explaining her identity, but the opponent was unmoved.

She became so exasperated that she nearly tried to force her way through, but the guard, uniformly possessing Yang Transformation level skills, convinced her not to engage further, ultimately choosing to leave.

However, this series of conflicts stirred some doubts in Bai Zhi's heart.

As she walked home, she pondered the incident,

'So many Yang Transformation level guards....?'

'Is my mother's family actually that powerful?'
