Chapter 931: Chapter 243: Shock Across All Sides—How Did Fang Ze Achieve This?!

At this moment, the high-ranking officials in the conference room were evidently focused on the intelligence from Congyun City. So, upon hearing the loud shout from the Black Clothed member of the Special Service Department, their gazes instantly shifted over.

Sensing the attention from so many senior officials, the Black Clothed member of the Special Service Department did not lose his composure. After entering the hall, he quickly knelt on one knee and cupped his hands in salute, saying, "Chairperson. Minister. The latest battle report from Congyun City. The enemy had a Demigod Clone arrive, but before it could approach Congyun City, Chairperson Fang Ze had arranged for a Mortality-Shedding level expert to go forth and meet the enemy."

"The Demigod Clone that acted, with strength probably around the peak of Yang Transformation level, is not a match for the Mortality-Shedding level expert and has been suppressed throughout the battle!"

"Chairperson Fang Ze has been commanding confidently from atop the city walls the entire time, so although the people of Congyun City are facing military might, their morale remains stable."

After listening to this report from the Black Clothed member, Xiong Qi stood up from his seat, then walked slowly to the Phantom Sand Table, stopping to stare at it for a moment.

He then spoke gravely, "It’s unexpected for these Outer Realm Demigods to be so cautious? They’ve probed three times to attack a high-level city. This is somewhat inconsistent with their usual style of work."

Tiger King, with a longsword at his waist on the other side of the sand table, nodded and echoed, "Indeed. Furthermore, the true body of the Demigod who descended has yet to act, which feels a bit odd."

At this time, He Weidao, sitting at the main seat, did not participate in the discussion between Xiong Qi and Tiger King. As if recalling something, he turned his head to look at Black Shark and softly inquired, "How did Fang Ze get to Congyun City, and when exactly did he arrive?"

Black Shark, the minister of the Special Service Department for the entire jurisdictional area, was evidently very familiar with this intelligence. After a moment of thought, he replied, "Fang Ze first went to Tang State and gained the support of Emperor Li, then had Tang State apply to Yunlan State, using the space teleportation room to transmit to the Yunlan State Provincial Government."

"After that, he somehow secured passage through someone’s connections, directly teleporting from the Provincial Government of Yunlan State to the border city of Qi Shui City."

"Finally, he crossed the border from Qi Shui City and returned to Congyun City."

"The specific timing should be after the Tuoya State army dispatched. The timing of his entire operation and route essentially matches, with no significant issues."

Hearing Black Shark’s words, He Weidao slightly furrowed his brows, then asked, "Can we confirm that the person in Congyun City is indeed him?"

Black Shark nodded, "We can confirm that. We tested it with an artifact."

Upon hearing this, He Weidao’s brows furrowed even deeper.

After a moment of silence, he then asked, "In a situation where the battlefield space is sealed, what is the likelihood that your Special Service Department can secretly rescue someone?"

Black Shark hesitated slightly, about to answer when He Weidao added, "Regardless of the cost."

This time, Black Shark didn’t hesitate, promptly stating, "100%."

He then couldn’t help but ask, "Are you planning to rescue Fang Ze?"

He Weidao slowly nodded.

Black Shark hesitated and asked, "Is he really that important?"

He Weidao was silent for a moment, then softly said, "He is more important than everyone present here combined."

Black Shark evidently did not expect He Weidao to give Fang Ze such a high evaluation, and couldn’t help but look at He Weidao in surprise.

Just then, suddenly, there was another rush of footsteps from outside, and another Black Clothed member of the Special Service Department ran in. "Report! Latest battle report from Congyun City!"

"The Demigod who acted was no match for our Mortality-Shedding level expert. Seeing the trial failed, the Outer Realm Demigods sounded the retreat and began to withdraw!"

"Retreat, withdrawing?!" With this new battle report, everyone present was instantly surprised.

Including the previous instance where the Tuoya State army was forced to retreat by Old Mr. Bai, this marked the second time the Outer Realm Demigods were forced back by Congyun City’s defenders.

Moreover, last time it could be said that the force of Old Mr. Bai’s defeat of an Absolute Pinnacle Demigod was so overwhelming that it scared the Outer Realm Demigods into retreat. But this time? After merely three rounds of probing, the Outer Realm Demigods withdrew again?

It’s known that these Outer Realm Demigods are creatures, and so are the hundred thousand troops, and as creatures, they have morale. Initial courageous thrust, followed by weakening, and waning after three attempts. After being repelled twice in succession, their morale is likely hitting rock bottom!

At this moment in the conference room, only He Weidao and Huo Xian remained without excited expressions; both frowning, feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

Especially He Weidao, who, as the highest-ranking official present, remained silent. Even though others were excited, they dared not open their mouths to celebrate or discuss.

Thus, although it was clearly a joyful report, the conference room became eerily quiet for a while.

Time ticked by second by second.

Not until twenty minutes later, suddenly, news of another battle report from the Special Service Department came from outside, "Report! Latest battle report from Congyun City!"

This time, the Black Clothed member who came in was noticeably more urgent, rushing in while panting, and immediately reported loudly, "As the Outer Realm Demigods were retreating, they suddenly executed a surprise attack, with the Demigod’s true body striking, heading for Congyun City!"

"Congyun City’s defense fortifications have been breached and are on the brink of destruction! Our personnel, worried about sacrifice in this attack, hurriedly transmitted this final message!"

With this battle report, the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point. Those who had been full of excitement earlier were now all silent, while Black Shark simply looked directly at He Weidao and then asked, "Shall we intervene for a rescue?!"
