MTL - Once, I Wanted To Be a Good Person (I Wanted To Be A Good Person Once)-Chapter 279 196. Forced to Retreat the Heaven-Leveling Masters! (7000 words!)
Chapter 279 196. Pushing back the masters who ascended to the sky! (7000 words!)
Seeing Sima Liu walking out of the Si Family Manor, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
After all, the reason why the Sima family came to make trouble tonight was to rescue Sima Jin and Sima Liu, and to ask for an explanation. Now, Sima Liu is not only fine, but also obeying Fang Ze's orders?
This really surprised everyone.
Seeing this, several members of the Sima family couldn't help looking at Sima Liu in surprise, and then asked,
"Old Liu, why is it you?"
"Old Liu, are you okay?"
"Old Liu, if you are kidnapped, just blink."
Hearing what the Sima family said was getting more and more outrageous, Sima Liu glared at that person and snorted coldly, "I'm fine."
Seeing that Sima Liu could really move and speak freely, the members of Sima's family couldn't help but hurriedly wanted to ask about the situation. But at this time, Fang Ze had already interrupted them, "Okay, calling Mr. Liu out is not to reminisce about the past, but to testify."
Speaking of this, Fang Ze looked at Sima Liu, and then asked, "Old Liu, please help me prove whether what I just said is true."
Hearing Fang Ze's question, the scene gradually quieted down. Everyone at the scene, whether it was members of the Sima family, the Jia family who eat melons, the nobles directly under the three states, or the many forces that were watching not far away, all stared at him. Transferred to Sima Liu, waiting for Sima Liu's answer.
At first, everyone thought that Fang Ze dared to ask this question so confidently that he must have a well-thought-out plan, but no one thought that Sima Liu seemed to be frozen after listening to Fang Ze's words. He looked at Fang Ze and fell silent. .
Seeing Sima Liu's state, the members of Sima's family immediately felt confident. They stood beside Sima Liu, then looked at Fang Ze, and shouted, "Fang Ze, if you don't have evidence, don't make false statements!"
"We Mr. Liu are not fooled by you at all, and we will not stand by your side."
"You should think about how to give us an answer now!"
The other people at the scene couldn't help looking at Fang Ze, and the woman among the three nobles directly under the state said slowly, "Patriarch Fang Ze, Senior Sima Liu doesn't seem to want to testify for you, may I ask you?" what is the problem?"
Because of Sima Liu's "rebellion", the scene was once very chaotic, but the expression on Fang Ze's face did not fluctuate at all. He ignored the others, but only looked at Sima Liu, and said, "Old Liu, you Didn’t you forget the deduction I gave you again?”
"Don't take chances. Now that I know about this matter, do you think it's possible to cover it up?"
"I have a hundred ways to find clues, evidence, and make Sima Jin confess."
"You are delaying time now, just making things more complicated."
After hearing Fang Ze's words, the scene involuntarily fell silent again, and everyone's eyes fell on Sima Liu again.
This time, the expression on Sima Liu's face finally began to fluctuate uncontrollably, as if he was struggling and hesitating. For a moment, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and wanted to say something. As a result, at this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, "Wait a minute."
That voice was obviously coming from a distance, but it fell straight to everyone's ears, so that everyone could hear it very clearly no matter where they were.
Accompanied by the voice, the door of a luxury car 9 in Sima's convoy was pushed open from the inside. Accompanied by several beautiful maids, an old man with gray hair, gray eyebrows and beard slowly got out of the car. walked down.
He has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with unstoppable arrogance and domineering between his eyebrows and eyes. Just by looking at his facial features, one can tell that he must have been a very handsome man when he was young, but the marks left on him by the years are too heavy, wrinkled The skin makes him no longer handsome, and what remains on him is only the exposed sharpness.
Just like that, in the eyes of everyone, the old man walked slowly among them, the members of the Sima family hurriedly saluted, and the three-dimensional nobles directly under the prefecture also gave a half salute.
Through everyone's actions, Fang Ze also guessed the identity of the old man: it should be the master who ascended to heaven from the Sima family this time.
Judging from the pure purple clothing worn by the old man, and the greetings and salutes of the three nobles directly under the state, the old man should be a noble with a high status in the eastern jurisdiction. And it is very likely that they were the contemporaries of the demigods back then.
And when Fang Ze was thinking this way, the old man looked at Fang Ze with his sharp eyes, and then he said in a deep voice, "Sima Liu had already answered your question with silence just now, yet you forced him again! Yes! Is it true that there is no one in the Sima family?"
"And the behavior of continuing to ask without getting a satisfactory answer like you, can you really ask the truth?!"
"Isn't this inducing or extorting a confession?"
"You have solved so many cases in Cedar State, don't they all rely on this?!"
The identity of the old man is already special, coupled with a series of questions, the whole scene suddenly became extremely depressing.
Even though he didn't show a bit of strength to ascend to the sky, the aura rippling all over his body and the heavy pressure were still on everyone present.
Seeing this, the three families directly under the state looked at each other, and then slowly said to Fang Ze, "Patriarch Fang Ze, Master Taishan's words are reasonable. You can't use words to force a master of the mortal rank to answer your question .”
"Besides, under your continuous questioning, the authenticity of his statement will also be questioned."
Hearing the words of the old man and the three nobles from the directly subordinate state, Fang Ze smiled. He asked, "Do you suspect that I am inducing a confession? Do you doubt the truth of what I said?"
"That's good. It's very simple. Let's go directly to the noble court and invite the Secret Service to intervene."
"Nobles and nobles' vassals are protected by demigods, and ordinary psychic abilities are invalid, but the Secret Service has a potion to break all this."
"What is the truth of the matter, you will know once you use the potion!"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the scene was completely silent at first, and then there was an uproar. Those who can appear here are nobles or their confidantes, of course they know what happened to the demigod's protection and the potion of the Secret Service.
The demigod's protection can invalidate all psychic abilities, but the Secret Service has special means to break through this protection. It's just that the potions of the Secret Service have particularly strong side effects. Although it is not possible to die after using it, it is possible for the cultivation base to drop and the whole person to be crippled. (162 chapters)
So this kind of thing is rarely used on nobles and their vassals, only on almost confirmed demigod spies.
So now hearing what Fang Ze said, many people think Fang Ze is crazy!
At the beginning, the grumpy aristocratic fat woman even yelled, "Are you **** crazy!"
"This is what you want to use it? After using it, Mr. Liu will be useless! Are you able to shoulder your responsibility?"
"What if you use the potion and find out that you are talking nonsense!"
Hearing what the fat woman said, the smile on Fang Ze's face finally subsided completely, and he said firmly, "If I'm talking nonsense! Our Si family pays life for life!"
Speaking of this, Fang Ze stared at the fat woman, and shouted without looking back, "The black cow comes out!"
Hei Niu, who had been standing behind Fang Ze, said in a muffled voice, "Here!" He said, and he walked out with big strides!
Fang Ze pointed at him and said, "This is the only one in our Si family who has faded away! If Sima Jin is innocent and Sima Liubai drank the potion, then he will apologise with death!"
"Besides, our Si family is selling everything, and we will also compensate you with a fading fruit!"
Speaking of this, Fang Ze ignored the shocked people present, then pointed at Sima Liu and said, "It's up to you now, Sima Liu! How dare you accept the review of the Secret Service Department!"
As soon as Fang Ze said this, the whole scene was suppressed at once. No one thought that Fang Ze would dare to gamble with the life of the ordinary class.
Whether it is the states of the Federation or the nobles of various families, the Fading Rank is already a well-deserved top combat force, and it is the treasure of each family.
Even if some of the mortal ranks are not nobles, but vassals, each family still regards them as second-class people in their hearts, but at least on the surface, they respect them extremely.
Therefore, this is the first person who dared to bet on the life of a vassal of the mortal rank. For a while, everyone felt that Fang Ze was crazy: let alone whether this gamble will win or not, even if he agrees, he is not afraid of that. Do you feel humiliated when you lose your reputation, and do you feel alienated from him?
It's just that when they were thinking this way, something they didn't expect happened. After Fang Ze finished the bet, Hei Niu not only didn't object. "The young master means what my old cow means!"
"I am willing to gamble with my life on this one with Senior Sima Liu! If Senior is proved innocent, then I am willing to die to relieve Senior!"
Seeing that Hei Niu actually agreed, the scene was silent for a while, and no one dared to speak for a while. After all, the matter involving the life and death of the two mortal ranks has too much to do with it.
At this time, the white-haired old man had no choice but to stand up. He obviously didn't want to agree to the bet, so he looked at Hei Niu and said in a deep voice, "Although you are a mere mortal, you are only a beginner, and there is still a distance from Sima Liu's strength. So just your words are not enough. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Heiyu, who had been standing behind Fang Ze, took a step out when he heard the words, and then cupped his hands and said, "Senior, I am Heiyu, a vassal of the Si family, an intermediate Huayang, if it proves that our young master has been wronged Senior Sima Liu, then I am also willing to die to relieve Senior Sima Liu."
After she finished speaking, the black woman also stood up silently, "The old black woman, the peak of Huayang, is also willing to die to let Senior Sima Liu relieve his anger."
"I am Xiaoying"
"I am a great martial artist"
Suddenly, seven or eight Huayang rank masters stood up one after another, stood next to Fang Ze without hesitation, and looked at the old man with determination.
Although they didn't show any aura around them, at that moment, they suppressed the rippling aura around the old man
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely suppressed at that moment. No one dared to speak, and no one dared to make any small movements. They could only quietly watch the scene in front of them.
The lives of the two Fading Mortal Ranks + the eight Huayang Ranks will be a big deal in any jurisdiction.
Seeing that Fang Zefang dared to gamble so much, the people present actually had a general idea of the result, which of course also included Sima Taishan, a master who climbed to the sky.
Sima Taishan looked at the nine people standing in front of him with tiger eyes who were generously dying, and looked deeply at them.
After a while, he suddenly said to Sima Liu, "Sima Liu, what do you think of this matter?"
Sima Liu was silent for a while, and then said to Sima Taishan, "Old Ancestor, that's why I didn't dare to speak just now."
Although Sima Liu's words were cryptic, at that moment, everyone present almost understood: he didn't dare to speak out against Fang Ze, and he didn't dare to speak out to agree to this matter.
So. It's pretty obvious.
Sima Taishan snorted coldly, then turned around and walked towards the Sima family's convoy. Seeing this, the Sima family members glanced at Fang Ze and the people present in a panic, and quickly followed.
But when he walked in front of his luxury car, Sima Taishan stopped again, and he didn't turn his head. His voice rang in Sima Liu's ear, "Look carefully at the young master, what do you say without my order?" Don’t say anything, don’t answer any questions.”
Sima Liu cupped his hands towards Sima Taishan, "Yes."
At the same time, Sima Taishan's voice rang in Fang Ze's ears, "Patriarch Fang Ze, I will give you a satisfactory explanation about Jin'er. I will trouble you to take care of it for now."
After speaking, he got into the RV and drove away under the **** of the convoy.
The whole drama started quickly and ended quickly, which surprised many people.
However, because the two sides disclosed a lot of information, the families and forces present roughly pieced together the "truth" of the matter in just a moment.
Fang Ze has the special ability to bypass the protection of the demigods and probe the soul. This is something everyone knows.
Therefore, after Fang Ze captured Sima Liu, he probably asked his subordinates to interrogate Sima Liu, and inadvertently found out that Sima Jin wanted to kill him, and that Sima Jin had murdered many people in the past ten years. The affairs of senior officials of Cedar State.
So, after Sima came in to find Fang Ze, Fang Ze took him down without hesitation.
Later, after Fang Ze mastered this trump card, he might have deduced today's situation in front of Sima Liu once, so Sima Liu was extremely silent from the beginning to the end: because he knew what happened today after Fang Ze interrogated the information, In fact, the dust has settled.
After all, Fang Ze dared to gamble everything when he knew the answer after opening the book. The Sima family simply couldn't afford it.
Originally, if Sima Jin was not in Fang Ze's hands, the Sima family still had the right to choose whether to gamble or not to gamble. But later Sima Jin was taken down by Fang Ze, and he could be tried directly after submitting witness and physical evidence to the noble court, so the Sima family was really forced to a dead end.
This also led to the fact that no matter how strong or powerful they are, as long as they don't want to give up Sima Jin and Sima Liu, they can only choose to compromise and leave in despair.
At this time, after sorting everything out, everyone's moods are also different.
The three nobles directly under the state looked at Fang Ze with complex expressions, and then the man in the lead asked, "Patriarch Fang Ze, do you still want to sue Sima Jin for murdering you?"
Although nobles have privileges, it is also a felony if it involves harming other nobles. This is also the reason why the three nobles from the directly subordinate state came here on behalf of the family as soon as they heard the news.
Of course, matters between nobles rarely go to noble courts, and most of them are settled in private, so they asked this question.
When Fang Ze heard what they said, he smiled and shook his head, "I think there may be some misunderstandings. I may need to communicate with the Sima family first."
"If it is not properly resolved, I will trouble everyone again."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the three nobles were no exception. They nodded silently, and then prepared to leave.
But before leaving, the leading man still said, "Fang Ze, although I know you don't really want to cooperate with the three of us. But...you are welcome to come and chat with us when you are free. Just make friends. "
Fang Ze nodded and said, "I will."
Seeing that Fang Ze agreed, the three of them stopped staying and left here directly.
After they left, Second Uncle Jia, Li Xiang and members of Jia's family also came over.
As they have near-field tickets, they really watched a good show today, so the smile on Uncle Jia's face could hardly hold back, he smiled and said to Fang Ze, "Nephew, I was really very happy before." worry about you."
"Especially this world is not just about reason. Strength and temper are sometimes more useful than reason."
"I was a little flustered when I faced Lord Taishan's aura of killing from the sea of corpses and blood just now. I didn't expect you to deal with it calmly without changing your face and heartbeat. I really admire you!"
Fang Ze was taken aback when he heard this, "Hey, does Sima Taishan have any momentum?"
After speaking, Fang Ze remembered that he had the passive talent of [King], and he was not affected by these auras at all.
But at this time, Uncle Jia and the others had strange expressions upon hearing his words. Apparently, they thought Fang Ze was just pretending to be aggressive.
But thinking that Fang Ze really had a head-to-head confrontation with Dengtianjie tonight, and he also successfully pushed back Dengtianjie, it seems that it is okay to pretend to be aggressive. If they were them, they would probably want to pretend a little more.
So Second Uncle Jia could only smile, and then changed the subject, "Our Jia family agreed to your terms. You can draw up the terms in the past two days, and send someone to deliver them to me when the time comes."
"Tonight's play is very exciting, looking forward to our cooperation."
And Li Xiang who was on the side also smiled and said, "Brother Fang Ze, I am looking forward to working with you tomorrow.".
After finishing speaking, the Jia family left with Fang Ze's embarrassed smile on his face
Tonight, after working so hard for so long, he managed to solve the Sima family without relying on the Bai family, and got the Jia family to agree to his own terms, which is considered a satisfactory completion of all the established tasks, so after Fang Ze sent the Jia family away, he did not He continued to stay at the door, but returned to the manor with everyone and Sima Liu.
On the way back to the manor, Fang Ze also patted the shoulders of several Huayang members of the Si family one by one. Although he didn't say a word, everything was kept silent.
After the dust settled, it didn't take long for Fang Ze to force the Sima family to step up to the sky, and soon spread throughout the state capital.
I have to say that this news is even more surprising than Fang Ze's arrest of Sima Jin. So Fang Ze once again became the focus of discussion among various forces in the state capital.
At this time, the small farmyard outside the state capital.
He Weidao also got the report immediately after the matter was over.
When he learned that Sima Liu's real body had appeared at the scene, He Weidao frowned involuntarily.
He was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Taishan is also there?"
Qingping replied, "Yes, Speaker. Lord Taishan once confronted Fang Ze in person."
He Weidao closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then asked, "Is there any abnormal spatial transmission fluctuation in the state capital tonight?"
Qingping said, "No. And because of the martial law recently, the space transmission has been closed."
He Weidao pondered for a while, and then asked, "What about the people entering and leaving the state capital tonight?"
Qingping said, "Because of martial law, so."
She didn't say what she said later, but she understood what Tao is: no one goes in or out.
Hearing this, He Weidao nodded, then waved his hand slightly, "Okay. I know everything, you can go down."
Qing Ping bent down to salute, and then took her leave.
After Qingping went down, He Weidao frowned deeply, "With that fellow Taishan's cunning, he will definitely verify Sima Liu's identity secretly, so that person must be Sima Liu."
"Emerald City is thousands of miles away from the state capital, and it is too late to rush. Only space teleportation is possible. But now there are neither spatial fluctuations nor state capital entry and exit records."
"Could it be... really not Sima Liu?"
"Then who is that Transcendent?"
"Or, how did Fang Ze do it?"
At the same time, the Si family manor.
After Fang Ze separated from the master of the Si family, he did not go back to the villa where he lived, but took "Sima Liu" to the No. 8 villa.
Came to his little secret base, met with Xiaocao, checked the growth of [Qiang Zhi], Fang Ze returned to his room here.
Going back to his room, closing the door, "Fang Ze" turned into dots of starlight, and then entered the body of "Sima Liu".
At the same time, the appearance of "Sima Liu" also began to change slowly, and finally changed into Fang Ze's appearance.
That's right, Sima Liu is a fake, and Fang Ze is also a fake.
After not getting the support of the Bai family, Fang Ze has been thinking about how to break the situation. After thinking about it, he finally remembered the news that he accidentally got the night he tortured Sima Liu: Sima Jin had actually planned to kill him all along. (172 chapters)
Because he got too much information that day, he didn't pay much attention to this matter at that time, but he just sentenced Sima Jin to death in his heart. But now, Fang Ze feels that this is a good entry point to break the situation.
However, although he knew it was true, he couldn't prove it: he didn't have time to collect evidence; Sima Jin was not a fool, so he couldn't admit it; and Sima Liu was not in the state capital, so he couldn't testify; Or if the props were disguised as Sima Liu and Sima Jin pleaded guilty, that would probably be directly exposed by Deng Tianjie, so Fang Ze thought about it, and decided to use his [Demigod Prison] incarnation as Sima Liu to plead guilty!
[Half-body Prison] can make Fang Ze completely incarnate into a person, regardless of appearance, breath, strength, ability, and appearance. It is not a problem to hide the truth from the ascending steps.
But at this time, Fang Ze encountered a new problem: if he wants to bluff the Jia family, he needs to show his potential, that is, his Huayang-level strength. So if he used a clone instead of himself to go to the Jia family's dinner, and his body remained in the manor and turned into Sima Liu, then he would not be able to show his strength, and the Jia family would not be able to frighten him.
So after thinking about it, he decided to use his unique ability to separate the soul and body, which he obtained after he was promoted to the Huayang rank, to carry out all these plans (Chapter 180).
After his experiment, he found that after his soul and body were separated, the soul could be turned into a prisoner in the [Demigod Prison].
So, after he went to Jia's dinner in his body and showed his ability, when he called the three nobles of the directly-controlled state on the way home, his body stayed where he was, and his soul escaped with [darkness] ability, returned to the manor, and became Sima in the incarnation Liu, came to play that scene.
The reason why he has not cooperated with himself since he became Sima Liu is because: he can't just think about today, he has to cover for the return of the real Sima Liu!
The real Sima Liu will continue to hang out in the Sima family after his return. If he "jumps back" directly, then he is likely to be suspected or coldly received by the Sima family, which will cause him to lose most of Fang Ze's role.
That's why Fang Ze deliberately acted like "Sima Liu didn't want to admit it, but he was cornered"
After reviewing all his actions tonight, Fang Ze took a deep breath: Although the whole process was complicated and dangerous, it was finally successfully performed! Tonight's crisis is over!
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help looking in the direction of the Emerald City
I don’t know what happened to Sima Liu, Miaomiao, and Zhixi
At the same time, more than 100 kilometers to the north of Emerald City.
After breaking away from the Fuxing Society and the official encirclement, the members of the Devil Sect also headed towards Yunlan Prefecture non-stop under the **** of Sima Liu.
Sima Liu, as a vassal of the Sima family + a master of the mortal rank, still has a lot of good things. The ability to increase the speed of movement and props are used, and the pace of the entire team has been accelerated a lot.
In fact, along the way, Zhixi wanted to ask Sima Liu several times how the two forces fought, but he never got the chance: because Sima Liu was escorting them in the dark, but he seemed to be looking for them all the time. something like that.
And when Zhixi was curious about what Sima Liu was doing, Sima Liu's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Stop! Rest where you are!"
"Wait for me for two minutes, I will go back!"
