"You're fake!" Just as everyone had a look of confusion on their faces, a shocking voice rang out from the mouth of the black-robed youth.
"Fake?!"
"What does he mean by that?"
"What fake?"
Not only were the contestants unable to react, even the three Heaven Dao disciples standing behind Fang Zhengzhi had a blank look on their faces.
Fake?
Could it be that he was trying to say that Kong Qing was a fake?
How could that be possible?
After all, this was the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Furthermore, Kong Qing was the person in charge of the first round of the selection test, how could there be a fake?
"That's right, you're fake, you're not Kong Qing at all!" The youth saw the confusion in everyone's eyes, and continued to speak calmly.
"Nonsense, we came down from the Heaven Dao Pavilion together with senior Kong Qing, what do you mean by that?" One of the disciples standing behind Fang Zhengzhi could not hold it in any longer.
Being questioned by a contestant as a fake "Kong Qing", this was obviously equivalent to questioning the Heaven Dao Pavilion's negligence in selecting the candidates.
How could they tolerate that?
"A person who disrespects the Heaven Dao Pavilion and disrespects his senior, we don't welcome him, you can leave now!" Another disciple said in an unfriendly tone.
"Hehe, disrespect my senior? If I really disrespect my senior, I'll naturally leave. But, what if this senior is a fake? "The youth obviously guessed that this would be the result, but still maintained his confidence.
"What evidence do you have?" The last disciple asked.
Upon hearing the words of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple, the rest of the contestants also looked towards the black-robed youth. It was obvious that no one believed that Senior Kong Qing was a fake.
After all, although Kong Qing was strict.
But, just now, he used his words to tell everyone his "strength", and with just one sentence, he made a person who had been stuck in the Supernatural State for five years break through? If this was a fake, wouldn't it be hilarious?
"Of course I have evidence!" The youth looked at the unfriendly gazes around him, but his face remained calm and composed.
"Evidence, you have evidence?" The three disciples did not believe him.
"Yes!" The black-robed youth nodded.
"Senior Brother Kong Qing, do you think we should drive this person away?" The three Heaven Dao disciples ignored the words of the black-robed youth. Instead, they turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi, seeking his opinion.
"No hurry, let him talk." Fang Zhengzhi said calmly.
Of course, this was only on the surface. In Fang Zhengzhi's heart, he was already planning his escape route.
However …
He hadn't found the safest way to escape yet.
Therefore, stalling for time was naturally the most appropriate method.
"Alright, then tell me your evidence!" When the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard this, they nodded their heads. Their respect for Fang Zhengzhi grew.
Not panicking in the face of trouble, this is the demeanor of a senior brother.
You dare to say that Senior Brother is fake?
This kind of person must be sincerely convinced.
When the black robed youth heard Fang Zhengzhi nod his head, a look of hesitation flashed across his face. However, at this stage, there was no way for him to back down.
With a light cough, the black robed youth bowed towards the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.
"I am Sima Feng from the Holy Barbarian Empire. Many of you might not have heard of my name, but I believe everyone should have heard of the name 'Sima Ke' right?" The black robed youth paused for a moment and looked at the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the surrounding contestants.
"Sima Ke?"
"Don't tell me he's talking about the assassin from the Holy Barbarian Empire?"
"Is he talking about the number one assassin family in the world, Sima Ke?"
When the contestants heard Sima Feng's words, they all had a look of surprise on their faces.
Just like what Sima Feng said, they rarely heard of Sima Feng's name. However, Sima Ke's name was famous throughout the four countries.
The number one assassin in the world had been famous for decades.
However, Sima Feng looked like he was only 27 or 28 years old. How could he be Sima Ke?
Wait a minute.
He said his name was Sima Feng?
"Everyone's guess is correct. Sima Ke is my father, but my father no longer cares about worldly affairs. As for me, I'm the current head of the Sima family!"
When Sima Feng heard the discussions around him, his face was filled with confidence. Then, without waiting for them to continue, he continued, "I've been learning stealth and disguise from my father since I was young. Although I don't dare to claim to be the best, but in the Holy Barbarian Empire, there aren't many who can match up to me in terms of stealth and disguise."
Silence.
The surrounding contestants did not speak again. Because, if Sima Feng was really the current head of the Sima family, then what he said was not excessive.
When the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard this, they frowned and looked at Fang Zhengzhi. However, they did not interrupt Sima Feng's words.
Sima Feng saw that no one objected and his face became more and more confident. He continued, "Although stealth and camouflage are the unique skills of the Sima Clan, even my father could not be flawless when he was in disguise. I believe all of you should understand this point."
"In order to reduce the risk of being exposed, experts in disguise would usually follow their targets, observe and imitate them over a long period of time, so that their actions, tone and even expressions would be the same as the target."
"However, this Senior Kong Qing did not seem to be able to do this!"
"Although this is my first time meeting Senior Kong Qing, but ever since Senior Kong Qing eliminated the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Empire, I have been observing Senior Kong Qing's mannerisms out of habit."
"However, when Senior Kong Qing walked out of the wooden house, I could clearly feel that there was something different about him. Although he was still trying to imitate, but regardless of his actions or expressions, they were obviously different from Senior Kong Qing. The most obvious part was the 'eyes'. Even the best expert in disguise would not be able to completely hide this part!"
"So, he is a fake. If I'm not wrong, the real Senior Kong Qing should be in the wooden house in front of us!"
After the young man in black finished his sentence, he pointed at the wooden house in front of him. His body emitted a faint glow, and his eyes were fixed on Fang Zhengzhi's face.
"Hua!"
When they heard this, the surrounding contestants' faces changed. Was he actually in disguise? If that was really the case, then he was really courting death.
After all, this was the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
In this place, to impersonate as a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion was not a wise move. And most importantly, what was the purpose of impersonating Kong Qing?
"Hehe, I was still wondering what your evidence was. So it's just observing his expression?" At this moment, a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple walked out and said, "Senior Kong Qing has already reached the peak of the Rebirth State. In front of us, there's no way anyone could defeat Senior Kong Qing and then impersonate him!"
"That's right, it's impossible!"
"We all believe that Senior Kong Qing is the real one!"
When the other two Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard this, they nodded their heads in agreement.
In fact, ever since "Kong Qing" consecutively eliminated a few contestants and displayed his extremely high cultivation state, the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples had been thinking of ways to get closer to "Kong Qing".
But now …
Naturally, they could not immediately stand on Sima Feng's side.
"Even if you're from the Sima Family, you can't make us believe your judgement with just one sentence!" One of the contestants questioned.
Of course, it could also be considered as trying to curry favor.
"That's right!"
"We don't believe you!"
When the other contestants heard this, they all expressed their stance.
"You don't believe me?" Sima Feng looked at the angry gazes around him and subconsciously looked at Qian Wu who was behind him. Following which, his face was filled with determination as he said, "What if, I can expose this person's true identity on the spot?"
"His true identity?"
"How is this possible? Even if it's really an impersonation, it's impossible to see through his true identity with just one look? This is utter nonsense. "
After hearing Sima Feng's words, the contestants who were initially doubtful could no longer sit still. This was simply impossible.
"Nothing is impossible, right? Fang Zhengzhi! "Sima Feng clenched his fists tightly, but his gaze was fixed on Fang Zhengzhi's face.
"Fang Zhengzhi?!"
"Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi from the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"I heard that this Fang Zhengzhi is extremely shameless, but he's also extremely lucky. Coincidentally, he contributed a lot to the Great Xia Dynasty, and was recently conferred the title of Prince!"
When the contestants heard the name Fang Zhengzhi mentioned by Sima Er, they quickly thought of a person who was extremely popular in the Great Xia Dynasty recently.
And Yan Xiu, who was standing in the crowd with a cold face, after hearing Sima Feng's words, his originally indifferent face changed a little.
"Fang Zhengzhi?" Yan Xiu's mouth let out an extremely soft sound. At the same time, he subconsciously clenched his fists tightly, and a red glow could be seen on his hand.
In fact, not only Yan Xiu, Nangong Mu's expression also changed. He looked directly at Fang Zhengzhi, and his expression was unsure if he was pleasantly surprised or shocked.
"Hahaha … You said that Senior Kong Qing is impersonated by Fang Zhengzhi? If you said it was someone else, I might really believe you, but I've heard of this Fang Zhengzhi before. "A Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple laughed at this moment.
"That's right, Senior Nangong had mentioned Fang Zhengzhi's name to us when he was free. Although we admit that he's indeed a rare talent, but he's only in the Supernatural State, right?"
"What a joke, Sima Feng, are you trying to say that the real Senior Kong Qing was defeated by Fang Zhengzhi in the Supernatural State? And he was defeated in front of so many of us, without making a sound? "
"Get lost, the Heaven Dao Pavilion doesn't welcome you!"
The other two Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples at this moment spoke in a cold tone. They were all too clear of Kong Qing's strength. Not to mention Fang Zhengzhi, even an ordinary sage would not be able to subdue Kong Qing in a single move.
"Three messengers, please calm down. I didn't say that the real Senior Kong Qing was defeated by Fang Zhengzhi. Just like the rest of you, I believe in Senior Kong Qing's strength, but who said that one must rely on strength to defeat someone?" Sima Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. "I believe that all of you have heard of Fang Zhengzhi's shameless actions. Perhaps, he plotted against us? Or perhaps, he used poison! "
"Poison?!"
"That's right, he used poison. Furthermore, all of you should know that Fang Zhengzhi is not only extremely shameless, he is also extremely daring. He dares to do things that others do not dare to do. Hence, I am 90% sure that the Senior Kong Qing in front of us is Fang Zhengzhi in disguise!" Sima Feng said with a firm expression.
"Even if what you said is true, why would Fang Zhengzhi pretend to be Senior Kong Qing!"
"Because of Yan Xiu, he wanted to help Yan Xiu pass the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test. Hence, he pretended to be Senior Kong Qing and purposely eliminated all of us in the first round!" Sima Feng said as he took a step forward and looked straight at Fang Zhengzhi.
"Yan Xiu?"
The three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, as well as the surrounding contestants, all turned to look at Yan Xiu, who was dressed in a luxurious black robe.
Although they were still not sure …..
But what if it was?
What if it was true?
Furthermore, just like what Sima Feng said, Kong Qing's actions were indeed inconsistent with the previous Heaven Dao Pavilion selection tests. How could he eliminate eight people in a row in the first round?
Even though what "Kong Qing" said was very reasonable.
But, this matter was indeed a little strange.
The three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples frowned at this moment. They were not sure if what Sima Feng said was true, but when they recalled the actions of "Senior Kong Qing" just now, they were also not sure if it was true or not.
Hesitation.
Silence …..
No one spoke anymore, but everyone's gaze fell on Fang Zhengzhi, their eyes filled with speculation.
"Fang Zhengzhi, what else do you have to say now? Hurry up and hand over the real Senior Kong Qing. Do you know where this place is? Let me tell you, this is the Heaven Dao Pavilion, not the Great Xia Dynasty. It's not a place where you can act presumptuously! "Sima Feng looked at the expressions of the surrounding people and was even more certain in his heart.
Of course, the main reason why he was so sure that the person who pretended to be Kong Qing was Fang Zhengzhi was because of what Qian Wu said.
Yan Xiu is here!
Fang Zhengzhi will definitely come.
However, there was no sign of Fang Zhengzhi among the surrounding contestants. Hence, there was only one possibility. Fang Zhengzhi did not pretend to be a contestant, but directly impersonated Kong Qing.
This was an extremely daring guess …..
However, Sima Feng felt that this gamble was worth it.
