Chapter 933: Chapter 243: All Sides Shocked—How Did Fang Ze Pull It Off?!

"Moreover, once they capture Tai State, although it won’t be all smooth sailing ahead, there will still be several major cities to choose from, and then they can seize the initiative again."

Upon hearing Huo Xian’s words, everyone present suddenly came to their senses. They just remembered, although the Outer Realm demigods had just retreated from Congyun City, they hadn’t withdrawn entirely. They were still assembling their forces, preparing for the next attack...

And by that time, it would be these people facing the threat of the Outer Realm demigods, not Fang Ze...

...

At the same time.

It wasn’t only the high-ranking officials in Xida State who were paying attention to this war. The other states, and even the bigwigs in the Eastern Administrative Region, had sent intelligence personnel early on to gather first-hand information when the Outer Realm demigods mobilized.

So, although they received the war reports slightly later than the Xida State Council, they quickly learned the full scope of this war.

Even though they also couldn’t fathom how Fang Ze repelled the enemy, it didn’t affect their judgment of the situation: Now the Outer Realm demigods were watching hungrily, the entire Eastern Administrative Region was trembling under the threat of war, with Congyun City, represented by Fang Ze, being the only force that had proven capable of repelling the enemy, and twice at that!

So, regardless of what strange methods Fang Ze used to repel the enemy, fostering a good relationship with Fang Ze was certainly worthwhile.

With this mindset, various factions within the Administrative Region, upon realizing the crisis in Congyun City was truly averted, began sending messengers and confidants with gifts to express their respects to Fang Ze and Congyun City...

...

Meanwhile. As the Administrative Region was surging with unrest due to this war.

Congyun City was hosting a grand celebration parade.

No matter how Fang Ze reassured the populace beforehand, the citizens still sensed the danger of this war through the tense atmosphere and developments.

Being situated at the junction of three states and accustomed to turmoil, they knew that in times of war, holding the city walls offered a chance of survival, and scattering would only hasten death. Hence, they stayed within the city, confronting the invading enemies along with the Federal Defense Team.

However, to be honest, until the situation was resolved, they themselves did not believe this war could be won, nor did they believe a prominent figure like Fang Ze would remain with them unto death.

In the end, to their surprise, Fang Ze truly stood at the last moment, even in the most dangerous times, shielding the city’s populace, and ultimately miraculously overturned the situation, successfully repelling the invading Outer Realm demigods!

At that moment, Fang Ze’s prestige in Congyun City reached its peak!

And Fang Ze was not someone who did good deeds without leaving a trace, so after learning of the citizens’ admiration, he had people further promote his illustrious deeds within the city, building his prestige!

The experts from the Si Family, having lived through that era, combined with professionals like Hei Po and Hei Yu in "indoctrination," quickly helped spread Fang Ze’s accomplishments throughout the city.

With the deliberate guidance of the Si Family experts, a grand parade themed "Celebrate Saving the Homeland, Thank Fang Ze for Rescuing the People from Disaster" soon commenced magnificently in Congyun City.

At this moment, at the core of this event: Fang Ze stood atop the city wall, unaffected by the crowd below cheering his name.

After his consciousness returned to another body, confirming that the Outer Realm demigods had indeed retreated, he didn’t idle but used the time to start organizing and formulating his next plan.

Although the Outer Realm demigods temporarily withdrew, it didn’t mean the crisis was over. Just like Emperor Li recently informed Fang Ze, the Outer Realm demigods simply didn’t want to tackle the toughest problem first or sever ties with him, hence saving Tang State for last.

The situation in Congyun City was similar to Tang State; although the Outer Realm demigods withdrew, they hadn’t given up on Congyun City, intending to leave it for last.

Moreover, to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, the Federation had sealed the entire Eastern Administrative Region, allowing no entry or exit. Therefore, if the Outer Realm demigods were allowed free reign in the Eastern Administrative Region, Congyun City would inevitably fall.

Hence, to save those he cared for, save the Si Family’s private soldiers, save his citizens, Fang Ze must find a way to resolve this Outer Realm demigod invasion!

With this in mind, Fang Ze couldn’t help but start contemplating how to solve this crisis.

The key to solving an issue is to address the root cause. In this case, it means dealing with these Outer Realm demigods.

Now, having seen with his own eyes and understanding from Dahei Jialuo, Fang Ze knew there were seven enemy demigods in total.

Among these seven, three were True Bodies. They were the Destruction-class demigod Venerable Yuan Gu, the Absolute Pinnacle demigod Peacock God King, and the traitorous Ascension-class demigod, the Zeng Family Ancestor.

Besides these three True Body demigods in the Real World, there were also four clones of Outer Realm demigods: Dahei Jialuo, Liu Shui, Suo Luo, and Rakshasa.

Among these four demigods, Dahei Jialuo and Suo Luo were Ascension-stage demigods, Liu Shui and Rakshasa were Mortality-Shedding-stage demigods, and since they were clones, their clone strength often wasn’t equal to their True Body.
