Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 565 Under the Reform

Then, in the future, won't he just be all alone? What's the point?

He will even have to bear the identity of a wanted criminal in the future, which is too high a price to pay.

Therefore, we have to think of other ways and find a way out.

Fang sat quietly in the carriage, his thoughts racing as he considered possible solutions.

It seems that the government troops have obtained solid evidence to do this.

They were able to confirm that he and the other party were closely involved in the saltpeter explosion case, which is why they dared to block the roads and conduct a city-wide manhunt.

I don't know where the government troops got the evidence from...

Fang He sighed. The enemy was in the dark while we were in the light. Without knowing what information the government army had, the current situation was extremely difficult.

The Green-Clad Alliance is out of the question.

Normally, his relationship with the Green Clothes Alliance is one of mutual exploitation.

Now that he's in trouble, if we don't kick him while he's down and shift the blame, that would be considered the Green Robe Alliance being benevolent.

There's no hope for Jingtian Manor either.

Normally, when there are good things going on, those heads of the academy can still put on a show of righteousness and pretend to be respectable. But now that he's in trouble, they'll definitely distance themselves from him immediately.

His family background is the Fang family, one of the three great families of Huayang.

Fang Jiulian is the eldest son of the Fang family. No matter how impartial and selfless he may be, even if he were to betray his own family for the greater good, Fang Jiulian's parents and relatives are still members of the Fang family.

Fang He refused to believe that the Fang family patriarch and Fang Jiulian's relatives would be unaware of the government army's actions. They must have received some information, more or less.

However, nothing happened.

If they were truly interested, they would have sent someone to deliver the message long ago.

The fact that no one from the Fang family has spoken up means that they have tacitly given up on him.

As a member of the Fang family, Fang He had long known about the disgusting, unscrupulous, and heartless practices of Fang Jiulian's lineage, especially the patriarchs and elders, in order to protect themselves.

They are particularly familiar with the ruthless methods these powerful families use to protect themselves.

Thinking of this, Fang He felt a surge of sorrow and bitterness in his heart.

He is a true member of the Fang family, having done so much for the clan, given so many gifts, and contributed so much effort.

In the end, it turned out to be like a pile of stinking dog excrement, despised by everyone.

But Fang He is not an ordinary person. He is not Zhang An, nor is he a weak person without his own opinions.

After a brief moment of depression, he quickly came up with a plan.

He opened the curtain: "Dong Qi?"

Dong Qi was already anxiously waiting, and was eager for Fang He to come up with an idea.

Disciples like them, who are directly trained by Fang He, are completely in the same boat; their fates are intertwined, whether they prosper or suffer.

If Fang He gets into trouble, these people will definitely be among the first to be purged after losing their backing.

Therefore, Dong Qicai and several of his fellow disciples abandoned their families and resolutely followed Fang He away.

"Master, do you have a solution?" Dong Qi quickly leaned closer, awaiting instructions.

"It's them! They're acting suspiciously, they don't look like a normal caravan!" But before Fang He could come up with a solution, suddenly a man at the end of the street pointed at them and shouted loudly.

Looking over, Dong Qi was astonished to see that it was the same soldier squad leader he had just met at the city gate.

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of black-armored soldiers wielding knives rushed forward and surrounded the convoy.

"you?!"

Dong Qi was both shocked and furious, and a murderous intent arose spontaneously within him. He glared angrily at the squad leader.

She never imagined that one day she would be outmaneuvered by such a nobody she usually looked down upon.

It seems that the squad leader saw through their group's weakness and secretly tipped them off after they left!

However, even though she was filled with murderous intent and wished she could kill her opponent with a single blow, she didn't dare to move.

From among the soldiers, a general slowly stepped forward, dressed in black and red patterned armor, carrying a pair of golden bronze maces, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

"Stop! Don't move! Everyone, please submit to inspection!"

This is Fang Jiulian's younger brother, Fang Huandao, who is also a general in the Xiaozhan Battalion.

Such a general in the army was not an opponent that Dong Qi could easily defeat.

She might not even be able to beat him.

The dozen or so people in the caravan all secretly glanced at the carriage in the middle.

Whether to fight or make peace, and what choice to make, is up to Fang He to make the decision.

"Fang He, you've been caught. Give up any hope of escaping punishment and come with me to see my elder brother. We might still get a lighter sentence." Fang Huandao quietly looked at the carriage in the middle.

There were also many familiar faces in the group.

But to him, apart from Fang He, everyone else was an ant.

"Fang Huandao, you don't actually think this small group can stop me, do you...?"

Now that things had come to this, Fang He knew he couldn't hide it any longer, and slowly stepped out of the carriage.

He looked at the soldiers around him, his heart sinking to the bottom, but he remained calm and composed.

This small force couldn't stop him, which is a pity for his personal disciples and the foundation he built up over most of his life.

"Fang He, I respect you as an elder. You have followed my elder brother for many years. Even if you have not made any great contributions, you have certainly worked hard. As long as you surrender voluntarily and lock your own life force, I will guarantee your survival," Fang Huan said with a sigh.

"You know I'm an elder?" Fang He sneered. "Fang Jiulian... how much have I done for him? Don't you know? Now I've only made a small mistake, and he's holding onto it, making credit for himself."

Heartbreaking, utterly heartbreaking! It truly chills the heart of a hardworking old man like myself.

“You can’t blame your elder brother for being ruthless,” Fang Huan said, shaking his head. “Even if you have merit, that’s no excuse for colluding with the Green Robe Alliance… You’re a member of the Fang family, and you know your elder brother’s intentions. You really went too far this time…”

At the very least, there are certain bottom lines to some things; one should know whether or not something can be done…

"Bottom line? What you've done has a bottom line? What's the point of saying all that?" Fang He shouted angrily. "Isn't it just that you think I'm worthless, and you're just discarding me after you've served your purpose!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Huandao paused for a moment, then sneered, "If that's what you think, then there's nothing more to say... I'll say it one last time: surrender and I'll give you one chance, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Heh...

Soldiers, in groups of three to five, slowly approached, sealing off the surrounding space like fish scales.

The outer crossbow formation, with its massive crossbows taller than a person, slowly raised to aim, preventing martial arts masters from using them as leverage to leap away. The battle formation was orderly and imposing, prepared for any possible unexpected events.

"Since you are heartless... then don't blame me for being ruthless..."

Fang He slowly lowered his head.

"Attack! Break through!!"

But the next moment, he quickly looked up and slapped the side of the carriage.

Bang! ! ! ! !

The carriage ruptured, and a large amount of black mist billowed out, obscuring all vision and covering most of the block.
