CHAPTER 1106: CHAPTER 312: SHOWDOWN WITH HE WEIDAO! (PART 2)

And as they walked out, the two casually chatted,

Fang Ze, "By the way, Zhi. I never asked you. Can you control two bodies now?"

Bai Zhi, "Uh... actually, I still can’t. So last night when I took you to the Garden of Time, and today when I was gathering information for you, I could only keep the body from the Outer Realm still."

"Luckily, Miaomiao and I found a hotel in Heaven Beyond the Heavens; otherwise, I wouldn’t even have a safe place to stay."

Fang Ze, "I see. That’s really strange. You’re obviously a martial arts prodigy, you should be good at multitasking and coordinating. Why is it so difficult?"

Bai Zhi, "I feel it’s strange too..."

Fang Ze, "By the way, what was Miaomiao doing these past two days while you were resting?"

Bai Zhi, "Miaomiao? She said although you’ve left, you’ll eventually come back to deal with the Blue Blood Venerable, so she’s been secretly investigating the data of the Bloody Colosseum these two days, planning to use it when you return to Heaven Beyond the Heavens..."

With that, as they walked farther away, their conversation gradually became inaudible...

.....

Two days later.

With Fang Ze’s help, the Bai Family’s vassals and the Si Family’s vassals all gathered and then arrived at the frontline camp on time.

This time it really seems to be the final battle. At the border between Yunlan State and Tuoya State, He Weidao has assembled a vast army of Awakeners and six military bases across seven states!

The war hasn’t started, yet the entire border already has an atmosphere of killing intent.

Hundreds of thousands of Awakeners, along with the faintly visible military bases carried by giant beasts in the sky, just quietly resided at the border, causing the Power of Laws across the entire border to fluctuate wildly like the tides.

Almost every moment, Disaster Creatures descended upon the Real World due to the fluctuations of the Power of Laws.

This also resulted in several squads of "Cleaners" continuously and dutifully slaying the Disaster Creatures in the Spirit Realm on the army’s periphery, preventing these Disaster Creatures from wreaking havoc in the nearby low-level cities.

Compared to the army gathered at the border, the small-scale wars within Yunlan State actually attracted more Disaster Creatures.

After the secret meeting held a few days ago, the remaining six Demigods of the Eastern Administrative Region took on the dangerous mission of infiltrating Yunlan State to harass Venerable Yuan Gu.

According to He Weidao, such actions were to deplete the enemy’s stored Divine Power so that they could achieve a decisive victory during the final battle.

The six Demigods didn’t suspect anything amiss and, having made up their minds to sacrifice themselves for their clans, diligently carried out their mission.

But.... only a very few people knew that He Weidao actually had other motives for harassing Yuan Gu...

.....

"Chairperson He is really calculating."

Accompanied by a sardonic voice, He Weidao’s tent was lifted open, and two figures slowly walked in from outside.

Upon hearing that slightly familiar voice, He Weidao, who was writing something at his desk, couldn’t help but look up.

And when he saw who it was, his gaze noticeably wavered, a bit surprised. Yet even so, he calmly put down his pen, looked at Fang Ze, and steadily asked, "Fang Ze? How did you get into my tent?"

As the chief commander of this military operation, He Weidao’s tent was undoubtedly the most heavily guarded place in the entire army. Ordinarily, without his permission, no one should be able to see him.

Even though Fang Ze was the Vice Chairperson and the Family Head of a Demigod family, if he wanted to see He Weidao, he would have to wait outside the tent, have the guards inform He Weidao, and get his permission before entering.

Yet now Fang Ze had appeared directly in front of He Weidao without any prior notice, causing He Weidao to feel that something was wrong.

Upon hearing He Weidao’s words, Fang Ze smiled nonchalantly and then said, "How did I get into your tent? I walked in, of course."

Saying that, seeing He Weidao’s expression becoming grim, Fang Ze didn’t bother with pleasantries. Having already prepared to lay everything bare with He Weidao and the Federation, he got straight to the point, "Chairperson He, I think we don’t need to care too much about such trivialities. After all, the reason I came so abruptly is that I want to talk to you one-on-one."

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao couldn’t help but look towards the person next to Fang Ze, who was wearing a black hooded cloak.

Since the moment this person entered the tent, He Weidao had been feeling an invisible pressure and a very strong sense of danger.

Although the person was concealing their strength, making it difficult for He Weidao to perceive it, he just had a feeling: the person in front of him was a Demigod, and a high-ranking one at that.

And Fang Ze bringing a high-ranking Demigod into his tent... even with the most optimistic thinking, He Weidao couldn’t see this as a good sign.

Thus, thinking along these lines, He Weidao couldn’t help but withdraw his gaze, deeply looking at Fang Ze, and then tentatively asked, "Talk? Sure. What do you want to talk about?"

Upon hearing He Weidao’s words, Fang Ze looked directly into his eyes and frankly said, "I want to talk about you."

"For example, let’s talk about the secret agreement you reached with Dahei Garo over a decade ago."

"Or about how you plotted against the former Chairperson of the Federation and the Si Family, and orchestrated the Golden Sparrow Flower incident."

"Or about how you caused the deaths of Bai Zhi’s mother and brother, schemed against Old Mr. Bai, and spurred the early arrival of the Outer Realm Demigods."

"And perhaps... talk about the real reasons you had the six Demigods hold off Yuan Gu."

As one secret after another popped out of Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao’s gaze flickered slightly, but he immediately concealed it, showing no expression as he said, "Chairperson Fang, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Have you been misled by someone? Or developed some misunderstanding about me?"

Upon hearing He Weidao’s response, Fang Ze was not surprised at all. He shook his head with a smile and then said, "Previously, Old Mr. Bai told me you were wholeheartedly for the Federation; I didn’t believe it."

"And now, seeing you like this, I believe it even less."

"If you really were just for the Federation, admitting to what you’ve done, bearing the criticism, wouldn’t bother you at all, would it? The Federation would become even more righteous because you’d taken all the blame."

"And now, you’re on the brink of dying, yet you don’t even dare to admit the things you’ve done. When it comes down to it, you still cherish your reputation and care about your legacy."

Saying this, seeing He Weidao’s face without any joy or sadness, Fang Ze returned to his previous topic and said, "Chairperson He, since I’ve dared to come to you today, I obviously have a comprehensive understanding of your situation. I’m looking to have an open and honest discussion to see if there’s an opportunity for cooperation."

Saying this, he began pacing in the tent, saying, "I know you might think I’m trying to deceive you. But you’re mistaken; I genuinely know about the secrets involving you and the Federation."

"Take the matter of you having the six Demigods hold off Yuan Gu, for instance."

"Those Demigods don’t have channels for information on the Outer Realm. But as a member of the Polaris Project, you couldn’t possibly be without them, right?"

"A while ago, there was a mysterious person in the Outer Realm pretending to be Dahei Garo, fooling over a hundred Venerables, causing chaos in Heaven Beyond the Heavens. Yuan Gu was preparing to halt the arrival plan and return to Heaven Beyond the Heavens; don’t tell me you didn’t know about this?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao’s pupils contracted slightly.

Fang Ze continued, "So, your intention for having the six Demigods take such great risks to harass Venerable Yuan Gu was nothing more than to keep Yuan Gu in the Real World to prevent him from returning to the Outer Realm ahead of your preparations."

"And your purpose for doing so is also very simple. One is to ensure that the Outer Realm continues to be chaotic for a longer period, and two, either you or the Federation behind you want to make the most of the upcoming confrontations to collect as much data as possible on the Venerables in the Real World, establish data models and conduct war simulations."

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao’s brow finally furrowed deeply.
