"This isn’t your style."

At this point, he paused and asked, "Also, you seem a bit weak. Did something unexpected happen?"

Fang Ze replied, "Yes, Father. When I attempted to assassinate Fang Ze, I was caught off guard by him. He turned one of my trusted aides and learned my whereabouts, then brought experts to ambush me."

"I fought a fierce battle with the experts he brought, was outmatched, and had to self-destruct my Divine Soul to escape."

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, Yuan Gu lightly tapped the armrest with his bony hand and asked, "Escape? Fang Ze didn’t use the God-Imprisoning Method?"

Fang Ze answered as taught by Dahei Jialuo, "I’m not sure."

"Logically, if he made a move against me, he should have had something up his sleeve. But he didn’t. That’s a point of suspicion."

"However, after I self-destructed, I did manage to escape."

Yuan Gu’s question indeed was a probing one, and Fang Ze’s answer evidently satisfied him. So after nodding, he said, "Alright. I’m aware of your situation. If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

Fang Ze originally wanted to continue discussing Old Mr. Bai’s matter, but Dahei Jialuo in the Late-Night Investigation Room strongly objected, urging Fang Ze to leave directly, saying that Yuan Gu would call him back!

Though Fang Ze was somewhat skeptical, from Dahei Jialuo’s inner voice, he wasn’t lying, so Fang Ze eventually chose to trust Dahei Jialuo.

"Yes, Father." Fang Ze answered and then, following Dahei Jialuo’s lead, walked backward to leave,

however, just as Fang Ze was about to leave the chariot, suddenly, Yuan Gu indeed called him back, "Wait a moment."

Fang Ze stood still, then looked up at Yuan Gu.

The ghost fire in Yuan Gu’s eye sockets flickered as he looked at Fang Ze and slowly said, "What did you mean earlier about Bai Qingcang?"

Upon hearing Yuan Gu’s words, Fang Ze was slightly stunned, and then joy welled up inside him. Indeed... pretending to be someone else means following their orders! Yuan Gu really is such a person!

Thinking this, Fang Ze once again, guided by Dahei Jialuo, adopted a manner of communication with Yuan Gu and discussed the matter of Old Mr. Bai....

...

The states of Tuoya and Xida are not far apart, and the border cities are even closer.

Moreover, the hundred-thousand-strong army of Awakeners from Tuoya State moved swiftly, so it took only an hour to reach the outskirts of Congyun City.

And when the army of Tuoya State reached the outskirts of Congyun City, the entire perimeter of Congyun City had become unrecognizable.

Dozens of square kilometers of land were scraped clean; the original desert and canyons formed by the battle of two Demigods had all disappeared, leaving a giant pit twenty to thirty meters deep. This also caused the terrain of Congyun City, seen from the direction of Tuoya State, to rise overall by twenty to thirty meters, like a massive city built on a hillside.

This also meant that when the army of Tuoya State arrived at the outskirts of Congyun City, all the soldiers looked up one by one, somewhat dumbfounded.

As Awakeners mass-produced by Special Awakening Methods, the one hundred thousand soldiers of Tuoya State actually had very limited abilities, and their Martial Arts cultivation was quite average.

A twenty-plus meter cliff was truly a bit exaggerated for them.

At this time, several Outer Realm Demigods also arrived at the forefront of the military formation, looking up at the elevated Congyun City, their faces somewhat stern.

And when they saw many soldiers on the city’s walls, poised for battle, their expressions grew heavier.

After a moment, the Peacock God King stepped forward voluntarily, saluted Yuan Gu, and said, "Venerable, these one hundred thousand soldiers are our savings from many years. It’s too costly to expend them here; let me directly attack and break the walls."

Upon hearing the Peacock God King’s words, Yuan Gu couldn’t help but glance at Fang Ze standing beside him.

Fang Ze slightly shook his head, indicating something. Seeing this, Yuan Gu was silent for a moment, then said, "Demigods, don’t act yet. Let the soldiers test the waters first."

The small exchange between Yuan Gu and Fang Ze did not escape the Peacock God King’s notice. He frowned at Fang Ze for a moment, but since Yuan Gu had made up his mind, he could only respectfully retreat.

After the Peacock God King retreated, Yuan Gu waved his hand, and immediately there was a Believer giving orders below.

In a moment, a force of a thousand soldiers slowly emerged from the formation of Tuoya State, and under the officers’ command, advanced slowly toward Congyun City.

Meanwhile, within Congyun City, Fang Ze, who had just arrived using the ability "Imperial Expedition," was wearing a Chairman’s uniform and calmly commanded the Federal Defense Team and Si Family’s private soldiers to set up defenses on the scene.

Of course, in terms of command, he was merely conveying Black Bull’s orders. After all, Fang Ze, with experience from a past life, understood the chaos an amateur could cause when commanding professionals. So, in such a specialized task, Fang Ze chose to trust the professionals’ skills.

As for why he was conveying orders when he already trusted the professionals, it was mainly because, as the Federal Vice Chairperson, the Family Head of the Si Family, the City Lord of Congyun City, he was the linchpin of Congyun City. His orders inspired morale more effectively than Black Bull’s decrees!

Therefore, standing on the city wall, when he saw the thousand-strong force from Tuoya State climbing slowly, Fang Ze couldn’t help but look at Black Bull.

Black Bull observed the thousand-strong force carefully for a while, then whispered in Fang Ze’s ear, "Young Master, activate the city defense treasures."

Hearing Black Bull’s words, Fang Ze loudly told the messenger beside him, "Activate the city defense treasures!"

"Yes!" Instantly, the messenger beside him took the order, hurried away, loudly repeating Fang Ze’s command.

With his order, in just a moment, dozens of towers on the city walls slowly opened, revealing dozens of silver-white gun barrels marked with strange patterns.

In a moment, beams like lasers poured down, striking the thousand-strong formation! Instantly, screams echoed, and row after row of soldiers fell!
