Chapter 794: Fang Ze’s Counterattack! (7000 words!)_2

“I still remember you said that Uncle Jia (Jia) has been so worried these past few days about finding a way to help Fang Ze that he’s almost lost all his hair, right?”

“And in the end, the solution came at a very high price.”

“If our family has to pay such a high price, how can Fang Ze resolve the pressure?”

Hearing the maid’s words, Li Xiang nodded, then her beautiful eyes, rippling like water, turned towards Fang Ze, and she whispered, “Yes. That’s why… come to see the miracle.”

Meanwhile, the Jia Family followers who were nearby, meticulous and keeping their gaze strictly forwards, as well as Hei Yu and others, had actually been all ears, secretly listening to the conversation between the two.

Those followers that Uncle Jia brought with him were clearly trusted confidantes, so they were also aware of the struggle between Fang Ze and the Sima Family, including their own family’s risk-taking in the matter. They knew that Fang Ze was now caught in the midst of his greatest crisis.

Hearing that Li Xiang said Fang Ze would handle the matter himself, they were all a bit shocked and curious.

Meanwhile, the people from the Si Family like Hei Yu had even more on their minds…

Listening to the conversation behind her, Hei Yu’s gaze stealthily shifted towards Fang Ze, her eyes showing concern: as a Yang Transformation stage practitioner of the Si Family, she knew far more than the others.

Up to now, Sima Jin had indeed been detained by Fang Ze on some trumped-up charges, and Sima Liu had been missing for the past few days, nowhere to be found. The Sima Family’s visit this time was indeed a major crisis for the newly burgeoning Si Family. If they weren’t careful, it could lead to a major problem.

With these thoughts, she couldn’t help but look at Fang Ze, her heart full of worry, ‘Young Master… what exactly do you plan to do about this crisis?’

…

They got into the car, which headed towards the Si Family’s estate.

Fang Ze and Jia chatted and laughed in the back seat, as if he truly wasn’t concerned about the crisis at hand.

At the same time, in the suburbs of the Provincial Government, He Weidao was also listening to Jing Tai’s report through a special communication channel.

“Master. The situation is just as I reported just now.”

“There’s a Mortality-Shedding expert in the Devil Sect, who somehow got wind of our plan with the Rejuvenation Society early and deliberately concealed himself on the essential path to lie in wait.”

“Then, he engineered a conflict between us and the Rejuvenation Society, to create an opportunity for the Devil Sect to withdraw.”

After hearing Jing Tai’s account, He Weidao’s face lost its usual calm composure for the first time, his brows lightly furrowed, “Mortality-Shedding…?”

“The region where the Mortality-Shedding Fruit originates has always been under the Federation’s control. Moreover, advancing to the Mortality-Shedding stage causes changes in the heavenly phenomena that simply cannot be concealed.”

“Thus, the Federation has records of every Mortality-Shedder.”

“What’s the deal with this suddenly-emerged Mortality-Shedder?”

He Weidao couldn’t help but ask, “Have you noticed any features of this Mortality-Shedder? Or did you see his Dharma Aspect?”

Jing Tai shook his head, then said, “Sorry, teacher. The opponent was very careful from beginning to end, never showing his face, nor did he reveal the full extent of his Dharma Aspect.”

“The only trace we saw of him was a giant black hand that descended from the sky. That hand was also enveloped in Black Mist.”

“But that only shows that his Dharma Aspect is humanoid or humanoid-like. We couldn’t gather any other information.”

Hearing Jing Tai’s response, He Weidao paced with his hands behind his back, completely absorbed in his thoughts, “Humanoid Dharma Aspect, humanoid Dharma Aspect…”

“The Jiang Family has two Mortality-Shedders; only one has a humanoid Dharma Aspect. The Bai Family has four, all humanoid. The Si Family just recently birthed one the day before yesterday, but it should be an animal Dharma Aspect.”

“The rest… among the several top experts directly affiliated with the Federation, Tiger King and a few others have humanoid Dharma Aspects.”

“That’s all the Mortality-Shedders in Xida State.”

“But all of these people are under surveillance, and it’s impossible for them to intervene secretly without being noticed.”

“Could it be an Ascension or even Demigod stage practitioner in disguise taking action?”

He Weidao shook his head slightly, clearly dismissing this possibility. The sudden emergence of a Mortality-Shedder was frightening enough. If an Ascension or even a Demigod appeared, it would mean that Xida State was as riddled as a sieve.

‘If it’s not them, then who could it be?’

‘And, if the Devil Sect is indeed related to Fang Ze, this person must also be connected with Fang Ze…’

‘Fang Ze… Fang Ze…’

He Weidao closed his eyes, his mind racing, and after a moment, as though he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly snapped open, filled with surprise. He looked at Jing Tai and said solemnly, “I remember… Sima Liu has a humanoid Dharma Aspect, right?”

Hearing He Weidao’s words, Jing Tai was stunned for a moment before hurriedly recalling the information about Sima Liu. When this formidable figure Sima Liu arrived in Xida State, the official channels from Yunlan State had already forwarded his details, and as He Weidao’s disciple, Jing Tai had naturally perused this information.

With a bit of recollection, he affirmed, “Master, Sima Liu indeed has a humanoid Dharma Aspect.”

“However…” he added, “There’s a feud between the Sima Family and Fang Ze. And wasn’t Sima Liu captured by Fang Ze?”

As he spoke, Jing Tai froze, then had a realization, “I get it!”

“Master, are you suspecting this is all an act?”

“Sima Liu staged a drama with Fang Ze, getting caught on purpose so he could disappear from the public eye. That way, he could openly go down one path while secretly moving along another, to go rescue the Devil Sect!”
