Fairy, I really am a villain!

“Can it be used? The Heavenly Lock restricts the output of demonic power and cannot be used to display innate magical powers. How can we…” Wang Wenxuan’s face also changed, “Unless, Third Uncle wants to use them to transport things, then he only needs to control the person driving the boat, and it doesn’t matter whether the Heavenly Lock is unlocked or not!”

"What are you transporting?" Wang Ningzhu was a little confused. "Besides, Third Uncle is still in jail. How did he rob?"

Hearing this, Fang Xiwen slapped a stack of papers on the table and said, "Wang Anyang has collaborators, not just your Wang family. I found out that Song Dongyang had a record of hanging up orders in Wuwang Mountain, and those assassins who attacked us were also theirs.

What's strange is that a small person like Song Dongyang shouldn't make such a big noise, so there must be someone behind him."

Sheets of paper filled with records and inferences were spread out on the table. Wang Ningzhu's eyes lit up as he read them, and he was very happy: he had no relationship with the Wang family, and the reason he was so dedicated must be that he liked her.

This coward is still avoiding the issue, which is really disgraceful.

"Brother Fang, are you saying that the stolen demon boat is now in Song Dongyang's hands?" Wang Wenxuan reacted and gradually believed it. "No wonder you said you couldn't find it in Dingjun, so it must have gone to Luyang..."

"Ah, now we have to talk about the 'cargo' transported by the demon boat. Ningzhu, you didn't catch that group of monsters in Luyang, did you?" Fang Xiwen asked.

"We only killed a few little demons, but didn't catch the real boss."

"That's it. They have already moved ahead." Fang Xiwen took a deep breath. "The scholar and his wife were seriously injured by the Jindan monster. A monster of this level will not be without subordinates."

"Are they the ones I killed?" Wang Ningzhu frowned.

"I think that was just the 'bait' for you, including the attack on Brother Wenxuan. Having been with you for so long, Wang Anyang must know your strength. He also knows that the success rate of the plan to seize the Tiger Talisman is low, but he still wants to do it."

"Yes, to 'reassure us'," Wang Wenxuan reacted, his face darkening, "This attack gave me the illusion that I had escaped death, making me think that I had defeated his conspiracy with my own strength, and I let my guard down. But in fact, there is still a backstory to this whole thing."

"This...could it be that you are thinking too much?"

"No. So many things happened, and they just happened to happen during the Wang family gathering. Several key personnel were gathered back in Dingjun... In other words, the person behind the scenes wanted to make a big move, but didn't want the Wang family to suffer too much damage, so he deliberately created this situation."

Just like a chessboard, Fang Xiwen changed his position again and again, thinking about the other party's intentions, before coming to this conclusion.

Then, the "eyes" of the whole incident were all focused on the two hijacked monster boats——

"As for what the big move is...if my guess is correct," Fang Xiwen took a deep breath, "the 'cargo' carried on that ferry should be——"

"The demon army."

Righteous Hall.

The dome of this house is quite high, and the overall color is bright yellow. The vertical plaques hanging on both sides are inscribed with "Cloud and Water Demeanor" and "Pine and Cypress Integrity" respectively; in the middle hangs a painting, in which the evil spirit hides the sky and the sun, and there is a man holding a knife and slashing vertically, which seems to have the momentum of overturning the heaven and earth.

A large path was paved with carpet in the hall, with tables and desks neatly arranged on both sides. Wang Zhongheng and several uncles were sitting behind the tables, discussing something.

"I absolutely don't agree! For hundreds of years, the Wang family and its branches have been connected by the same blood and have overcome difficulties together. How can there be any talk of splitting up the family? How can you do such a rebellious thing just because you sympathize with your evil son!"

“Evil son?!” The old man’s voice got louder, and he immediately slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying: “Anyang’s brothers, wife and children all died on the battlefield, and even the people carrying the portrait of his body could not be found during the funeral. He could only kowtow to me while crying!

He is disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust?! Not only did the Gao family ruin his family, but now I am being ridiculed by this scoundrel and said to have no descendants! "

"It's not that simple..."

"What are you talking about? You guys standing on the dry shore, do you all think he did something wrong?!"

A fierce quarrel broke out, followed by the crisp sound of tables and chairs breaking.

If the guards had not been able to control their strength well, the entire palace would have been razed to the ground.

In this extremely noisy environment, Wang Wenxuan walked in, went to his father's side and said something, and the latter's face suddenly changed.

Then, Wang Zhongheng pressed his hands together, "Enough!"

For a moment, the Zhengqi Hall was quiet for a while, but soon the noise started again; after all, Wang Zhongheng's seniority was not too high, and there were many people who were older than him.

So, he exhaled and spoke again, angrily: "The demons are almost at the door, and you are still making noise?!"

This powerful inner force caused ripples in the surrounding air, and everyone seemed to have triggered a keyword. They stopped what they were doing and looked towards him.

Seeing this, Wang Zhongheng took a half step back and raised his hand slightly, "Wenxuan, you can talk to your uncles."

"Yes."

Taking out a few pieces of paper from his arms, Wang Wenxuan began to talk about Fang Xiwen's somewhat tortuous and bold conclusion.

After a while, the Zhengqi Hall was silent for a long time, and the old man actually laughed out loud, "Your imagination is really wild, and it can be used as a topic of conversation after dinner."

"Something to talk about? Xiwen isn't kidding."

"Hmph, that's a bad intention!" The old man's face changed immediately, and he pointed angrily: "Go and capture him and bring him to Zhengqi Hall to have an argument. If you can't make a good or bad argument, just treat him as a spy of the demon clan and throw him into the dungeon!"

~~

As soon as I entered Zhengqi Hall, the tangible pressure was overwhelming.

This is a very imposing place, not to mention that the people present are generals and soldiers who have experienced blood and fire, and their eyes are quite heavy when they glance at it.

He had only taken two steps inside, and before he could even stand still, the old man started scolding him: "You bastard, were you the one who said those words just now?"

"nature."

"You are quite responsible," seeing him like this, the old man slowly calmed down and said, "Then in your opinion, should we transfer the Longwei Army to Luyang area now to deploy defenses?"

"I don't understand military formations, I just hope you can understand my meaning." Fang Xiwen nodded.

"How audacious! Boy, do you know what this means?" The old man's face showed a stern look, "You want to shake the border defense and hand over the pass to others with just one sentence?! If it weren't for your good relationship with Wenxuan and others, I would have arrested you based on these words!"

"No, what good will this do me?"

"Oh, who knows." The old man sneered, "I would rather believe that someone is behind you than believe that you will do your best to help the Wang family."

Hearing this, Fang Xiwen looked at the people around him and found that they were all silent; then he looked at Wang Zhongheng, who also looked hesitant.

No wonder.

No matter how much he did or how well-founded his reasoning was, I'm afraid these people wouldn't believe him. Instead, they would doubt his motives.

He has no relationship with the Wang family, so why would he do this?

It’s obvious that these people’s lives and deaths have nothing to do with you, so who are you trying to show off to by acting like this?

The most stable relationships in the world are nothing more than interests, positions, and alliances...Until Fang Xiwen proves that he is on their side, what he says will not carry much weight.

"Mr. Fang's inference makes sense," Wang Zhongheng finally spoke after thinking for a while, "Once we have dealt with our internal affairs, we will start the investigation. The Wang family will remember this favor and will repay you in the future."

"Well, I think we should either drive this brat out of the palace or put him in the dungeon, so that he won't cause trouble again in the future." The old man waved his hand as if to drive away a fly, without even glancing at him.

Seeing this, Fang Xiwen laughed out of anger.

For a moment, he really wanted to just throw his hands up and let these people fend for themselves. After all, their cultivation was so high that it was not his turn to worry about them.

But thinking about the tragic situation in the spiritual realm, thinking about the innocent people, thinking about Miss Wang who was sometimes heroic and sometimes shy... he finally sighed.

"Well, since what I said is useless, let's let someone who has something useful say come."

Having said that, Fang Xiwen did not leave.

He took out a huge lotus platform from the mustard seed ring, assembled it in a few steps, and then threw it on the ground of Zhengqi Hall.

“This is… the Vow Power Lotus Platform?!” Wang Zhongheng was the first to react, his eyes slightly trembling: “Who on earth are you!”

It was not because of anything else, but because he also had a similar thing, which was bestowed by the saint and used for long-distance communication. All the owners were important officials in the court.

Why would an ordinary chivalrous knight have such a thing?

The old man who was about to shout loudly froze there, his face changed drastically, and everyone in the hall noticed something and fell silent.

In the somewhat stagnant atmosphere, several circles of light were seen slowly rising from the lotus platform, followed by a tall shadow appearing.

The man was dressed in a dark green python robe, had broad shoulders, a masculine and handsome face, and a pair of sword-like eyebrows that made him look heroic. He had the aura of a superior who was intimidating without even getting angry.

As soon as he appeared, his eyes like a knife swept across everyone, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Everyone, it's been a while since we last met, right?"

The words seemed to echo in the hall. After several breaths, someone exclaimed: "Marquis Xuanping?!"

There is no doubt that the shadow in front of him is the master of the world-stabilizing martial arts, the head of the Fang family in Shendu, and the famous master of the Earth List - Fang Tianyu!

Clearly, it was just a shadow without any power, but he seemed to throw a punch in the hall, creating a gap in the pressure from everyone.

The shadow nodded slightly, took a step forward, and landed in front of Fang Xiwen, blocking all sight with his tall body.

This subconscious act of protecting one's shortcomings made everyone's attention focus on Fang Xiwen, and a guess was about to come out -

"I hope my son hasn't caused any trouble to you guys?" Fang Tianyu smiled at first, then he looked around and found that some people in the hall still had a look of contempt and suspicion on their faces, and he immediately understood something.

His expression suddenly darkened, and his smile grew colder: "Or are you guys making things difficult for him?"

~~

The dead silence in Zhengqi Hall lasted for a while.

After all, no one could have imagined this situation, that this giant Buddha would come to the family meeting.

Most of the people present were of the same generation as Fang Tianyu, and had more or less heard of this man who hated evil and was extremely protective of his sons. Even after he was granted a title of nobility, he did not change his temper. For example, at the beginning of the engagement between the Fang and Wang families, Yuwen Di insulted his son in public and said a lot of unpleasant things.

Later, Fang Tianyu went directly to Yu Wen's mansion in the capital, beat him severely with a punch in public, and then went straight to the court to receive punishment.

Even without mentioning all this, the man in the python robe, just standing there, is a master who is famous on the Earth List and one of the top 100 in the world. Even the Wang Family would not want to offend him easily.

What's more, their current state is unstable and they have to rely on the Fang family as an ally.

"Everyone, why are you silent?" Fang Tianyu stood firmly in front of his son, with a sneer on his face, "Am I here at the wrong time?"

"Brother Fang, you are joking. How could we embarrass him?" Wang Zhongheng reacted immediately, with a smile on his face. He took a few steps and put his arm around Fang Xiwen's shoulders, looking very intimate. "We were just discussing something and had a disagreement."

Then, he looked at Fang Xiwen complainingly, "Since my nephew has already arrived, why didn't he reveal his identity and tease us instead?"

"Keep your hands away from my son." Fang Tianyu's eyes trembled.

"I have my own reasons. More importantly than why I concealed it,..." Fang Xiwen looked around and said calmly, "Do you still doubt what I just said?"

After hearing this, some people were still in shock, but a few people who were quick to react figured it out and nodded secretly.

Only the old man still didn't believe it. He pointed his finger and said, "Shu...you are the son of the Fang family in Shendu? The notorious Fang Xingyun?"

"It's me." Fang Xiwen nodded slightly.

"Old man, what did you want to call him just now?" Fang Tianyu's face was still full of sarcasm, and he sneered, "You are so old and still believe these rumors. Even a three-year-old child has better eyesight than you!"

"I, I'm too lazy to argue with you." It was very rare that the old man did not retort after several rounds of conversation.

Why?

No one present was stupid. Before Fang Xiwen revealed his identity, he had helped the Wang family again and again, but all he could get in return was some favors and nothing else.

But now that the positions have reversed, the meaning of these actions is completely different.
