Chapter 914: 238. The second demigod-level harvest

Twenty minutes later.

He Weidao was woken up by his household butler.

At his status, identity, and especially in such sensitive times, being woken up in the middle of the night was already common practice. So he didn’t say much, just sipped some water with a stern face, and walked out while putting on his coat.

As he left the bedroom, his steady voice echoed in the hallway, "What happened?"

Upon hearing him, his butler hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and whispering, "Chairperson. Fang Ze, the Vice Chairperson, is looking for you. He says there is something urgent that can’t wait."

"Fang Ze?" This response obviously made He Weidao hesitate for a moment. Although Fang Ze is now the Vice Chairperson, he actually doesn’t hold much power, and he and He Weidao have never really gotten along. Coming to him in the middle of the night was suspicious no matter how he thought about it.

Thinking this, He Weidao didn’t ask further, and instead steadily nodded his head, stepping toward the main hall for receiving guests.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Fang Ze was already sitting in a chair. A disciple of He Weidao was accommodating him.

Seeing He Weidao, Fang Ze glanced over and nodded. He Weidao walked to the main seat with an indifferent demeanor, adjusting his somewhat hazy mind that had just woken up, then questioned in a deep voice, "Vice Chairperson Fang Ze coming late at night, there must be something urgent, right?"

Fang Ze nodded and said, "Of course."

After speaking these two words, Fang Ze didn’t continue, instead, he scanned his eyes over the other people in the room.

Seeing this, He Weidao lightly waved his hand, signaling the others to leave.

When everyone in the room had exited and the door was closed, Fang Ze finally withdrew his gaze and slowly began to speak, "Chairperson, I accidentally obtained a piece of top-secret intelligence."

He Weidao picked up the hot tea beside him, took a sip, and uttered an "Oh?" with indifference, asking, "What is the intelligence about?"

Fang Ze replied, "The recently descended destruction-level demigod."

This time, He Weidao became interested. He put down the teacup, his deep eyes looking towards Fang Ze.

Seeing this, Fang Ze proceeded to slowly introduce Venerable Yuan Gu’s situation, "The destruction-level demigod who descended is named Yuan Gu. In the Outer Realm, he is a being who surpasses an Absolute Pinnacle demigod."

"He shares the same origin as Dahei Garo and has a deep relationship with him. During Dahei Garo’s time, he descended to the Real World, possessing a monk. Dahei Garo is this monk’s child in the secular world."

"Later, Dahei Garo’s mother passed away, leaving Dahei Garo with Yuan Gu just before her death."

"Thus, Dahei Garo grew up beside Yuan Gu, gradually becoming his right-hand man through guidance and teaching. Later, before that world’s destruction, Yuan Gu truly bestowed his bloodline upon him, aiding him in becoming a demigod."

"Because of this relationship, Yuan Gu and Dahei Garo are extremely close. Any actions they take are usually executed together."

"According to evaluations by other demigods: Yuan Gu is eccentric and domineering, with formidable power, and he believes in overwhelming strength."

"After descending, he immediately began mobilizing troops, preparing to initiate an attack on Xida State. The estimated date for dispatching troops is today."

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao’s pupils slightly contracted for a moment, but he quickly concealed it.

He deliberately drank some tea and then asked, "Vice Chairperson Fang Ze, can you disclose your source of intelligence?"

This time it was Fang Ze’s turn to fall silent. After a moment, Fang Ze slowly said, "It’s the same source from which I learned about the matters of the past."

Upon hearing this, He Weidao paused his actions, gently rubbing the lid of his teacup against the rim, seemingly in contemplation.

Fang Ze watched him, patiently awaiting his reaction and decision.

However, after pondering for a full two minutes, He Wenhao didn’t speak. Instead, he put down the teacup, and told Fang Ze, "Thank you, Vice Chairperson Fang Ze, for providing the intelligence. I will consider it seriously."

This response was clearly unsatisfactory to Fang Ze. He looked at him and then asked, "Seriously consider? What does that mean?"

"There are only a few hours left before Tuoya State launches an attack on Xida State, aren’t you planning to do something?"

Upon hearing this, He Weidao shook his head slightly and then said, "Sorry, I can’t disclose anything."

"Can’t disclose?" Fang Ze looked at He Weidao.

He Weidao’s gaze fell upon Fang Ze’s eyes as they looked at each other intently.

He Weidao spoke gently, "Fang Ze, you should know that everyone in the Council has their own scope of duties."

"And in your scope of duties, there is no item related to military activities. Therefore, I can’t tell you what I plan to do next."

Fang Ze wasn’t brushed off by He Weidao. He said, "Although I’m not responsible for military operations within the Council, I am the City Lord of Congyun City. Congyun City and its subordinate lower-level cities are my jurisdiction. I believe I should be eligible to know your next plan."

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao pondered for a second, but still refused, saying, "But not now. You will know the relevant news when the state requires you to know. And now....."

At this point, he glanced at the clock in the living room and said, "If I were you, I would go back and rest, conserve energy. If you can’t sleep, then head to Tang State early and meet Emperor Li."
