Chapter 1123: Chapter 318: The Venerable Is Imprisoned! The Federation Is Shocked!
The young people in the eting room, although they are the future of the Human Race and the focus of the Federation’s cultivation, aren’t privy to all its secrets.
Especially secrets like those concerning the “mysterious person,” which belong to the highest level of confidentiality. Not only are these young people unaware, but even many Federation council mbers and regional chairpeople are oblivious.
Under normal circumstances, if they encountered similar matters, a few elders might explain briefly to them.
But now, the elders were astonished themselves and certainly had no ti for explanations.
As the elders engaged in intense discussion, detailed intelligence about Fang Ze stread in from various departnts and landed in the elders’ hands.
Perusing Fang Ze’s comprehensive resu, including reviews from subordinates, colleagues, superiors, and He Weidao, the elders quickly ford an impression of Fang Ze in their minds.
After reviewing all the materials, one black-clothed elder glanced at the others and slowly said, “Indeed, very suspicious.”
“This young man nad Fang Ze has had nurous interactions and connections with Dahei Garo.”
“In investigating the identity of the mysterious person, the Special Service Departnt initially included him in the suspect list, but due to his weak strength and constant presence in the Real World, he was later ruled out.”
“In light of new evidence, it seems likely he’s been concealing his strength, and potentially possesses a formidable clone ability.”
Hearing the words of the black-clothed elder, the others nodded thoughtfully.
Before, despite Fang Ze’s self-revelation of identity, the elders remained skeptical and sought verification. But now, with growing doubts and clues, they reached an initial judgnt: while not 100% certain, Fang Ze’s confident deanor and tily appearance suggest he might truly be the mysterious person.
This raised an important question among the elders: if Fang Ze is indeed the mysterious person, why not first feign weakness to catch Venerable Yuan Gu off guard, instead of exposing his identity upfront?
Could it be…Fang Ze is that confident?
…
Venerable Yuan Gu shared this very suspicion.
Since Fang Ze’s self-revealing identity, Yuan Gu beca increasingly suspicious.
The pressure from the eight Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends was enormous, even Yuan Gu at his peak wouldn’t claim 100% victory. Moreover, having undergone a rebirth, he was in a weakened state.
Therefore, when Fang Ze confird he was the mysterious person, Yuan Gu’s initial reaction was to flee.
But upon pondering this impulse, Yuan Gu aligned with the elders’ thoughts: if this young man is truly the mysterious person, why not feign weakness and stealthily attack? Instead, he openly admits it?
After much thought, Yuan Gu considered the possibility that the young man might be staging an empty fort strategy to deceive him.
Perhaps, upon hearing the legends of the mysterious person, witnessing the imminent failure of the Human Race, the young man simply wished to erge and turn the tide!
This reflection brought hesitation to Yuan Gu: if his guess was accurate, abandoning victory due to the reputation of a mysterious person and fleeing would leave him unable to show his face in the Outer Realm for centuries if news spread.
Thus, despite needing vigilance, he resolved to at least test if Fang Ze truly was the mysterious person before deciding to escape.
Out of this reasoning, Yuan Gu refrained from fleeing instantly, instead standing alertly, testing Fang Ze by saying, “Mysterious person? Ha.”
“Young man, did your elders not tell you, when venturing out, not to impersonate others?”
Even while speaking, Yuan Gu was subtly active. Divine Light flickered beneath his feet, as sothing seed quietly brewing beneath the ash-laden Skeleton Jungle.
Yet Fang Ze, standing afar, appeared oblivious to all this. He stepped forward and, smiling at Yuan Gu, said, “Impersonating others? Venerable, you’ve reminded well. I’m best at impersonating others.”
With that, Fang Ze brushed his face, transforming instantaneously to resemble Dahei Garo, his divine power fluctuations and aura identical.
Then Fang Ze, mimicking Dahei Garo’s deanor, addressed Yuan Gu, “Venerable, what a coincidence. Why are you here?”
Seeing this scene and hearing the familiar voice, the Spirit Fla within Yuan Gu’s eye sockets flickered fiercely. After all, Dahei Garo was like a child born after ten months of pregnancy and had been by his side all these years.
Though the two shared no bloodline, Yuan Gu always treated him as his child.
Upon learning of Dahei Garo’s disappearance, Yuan Gu hurriedly descended into the Real World, intending to rescue him.
Later, learning Dahei Garo was controlled by the mysterious person and turned into a Divine Fiend, Yuan Gu couldn’t resist returning to the Outer Realm to investigate the entire ordeal and save Dahei Garo.
This demonstrated his trendous affection for Dahei Garo.
During these days of detention, Yuan Gu reevaluated his plan to return to the Outer Realm, resolving to save Dahei Garo at any cost if he were alive.
