Gate of God

“You’re fake!” Just as everyone was looking very puzzled, a voice came out from the mouth of the black coat young man. They were all startled.

“Fake?!”

“What is he trying to imply?”

“What’s fake?”

Other than the contestants who were feeling very confused, Fang Zhengzhi and the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were also looking very lost in the situation.

Fake?

Was he trying to imply that “Kong Qing” was fake?

Impossible.

In the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Kong Qing was in charge of the first segment of the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test, how could a fake one appear in this crucial time?

“Yes, you’re fake, you’re certainly not Kong Qing!” The black coated young man looked at all the puzzled faces around him, and spoke in a calm manner.

“Absurd, I came down here together with Senior Kong Qing. What’s your purpose of talking about this?” One of the disciples standing behind Fang Zhengzhi could not stand it and began talking.

By having the malice to claim that “Kong Qing” was a fake one, it also seemed like one was doubting the responsibility of the criteria of the selection test.

That was intolerable.

“For someone who’s so disrespectful to the Heaven Dao Pavilion and rude to the seniors. We don’t welcome you, please leave now!” The other disciple also spoke out, sounding very unfriendly.

“Hehe, behaving rudely in front of the seniors? I would naturally leave this place if I was really impolite to the seniors, but what will happen if he really is fake?” The young man said confidently, as if he had guessed that response from them.

“Do you have any proof?” The last disciple finally spoke.

The rest of the contestants fixed their eyes on the young man after listening to the disciple. It was indeed very unbelievable to suspect the real identity of Senior Kong Qing.

As a matter of fact, Kong Qing was very strict.

However, he did manage to use his actions to prove his “power”, and was able to help someone overcome the Supernatural State, in just a speech of a sentence. It would be ridiculous to say that he was a fraud.

“I certainly have the evidence!” The young man scanned the unfriendly faces, but his expression remained unchanged.

“Evidence, you have the evidence?” The three disciples were not expecting this.

“Yes!” The young man nodded his head.

“Senior Kong Qing, should we get rid of this person?” The three disciples couldn’t care less about the young man, and they turned and looked at Fang Zhengzhi, waiting for his answer.

“No rush, let’s hear what he has to say.” Fang Zhengzhi remained very calm.

Of course that was just on the outside, Fang Zhengzhi had already been planning for his escape route.

Although…

He had yet to find the safest escape route from here.

Therefore, delaying would naturally be the best method.

“Fine, then you show us your evidence!” The disciples nodded their heads, feeling more impressed with Fang Zhengzhi.

Staying calm and steady, that was just the right way of being a senior.

Dare to suspect the identity of a senior?

It would be a must to make him feel defeated.

The young man seemed to hesitate after listening to Fang Zhengzhi. There was no turning back for him at this point of time.

He coughed lightly as he bowed in front of the three disciples.

“I’m Sima Feng from the Holy Barbarian Empire, I doubt many had heard about my name, but I bet some of you have heard about Sima Ke?” The young man paused as he mentioned the name, and looked at the three disciples.

“Sima Ke?”

“Is he talking about the assassin from the Holy Barbarian Empire?”

“The world’s best assassin in the whole family line, Sima Ke?”

Everyone surrounding them was stunned after listening to Sima Feng”s sentence.

Just like what he had said, it was very rare to hear the name Sima Feng, but Sima Ke was indeed famous around the world.

He was the first assassin in the world, and was famed since 10 years ago.

He looked like a person around the age of mid twenties, how could he possibly be Sima Ke?

Hold on.

Did he just mention that his name was Sima Feng?

“You guessed correctly, Sima Ke is my father, but he had long left us. And I’m the successor of the Sima family!”

Sima Feng looked at the surrounding discussions, and looked more confident than usual. He did not wait till the end of their discussion, “I have learnt all the skills of disguising and camouflaging from my father since I was a child. Although I dare not claim to be the first, it is very rare to see anyone master these skills in the Holy Barbarian Empire.”

Silence.

The contestants remained silent. Because if Sima Feng were really the current heir of the Sima household, his claim wouldn’t be entirely ridiculous.

The three disciples frowned after listening to him. They looked at Fang Zhengzhi but did not stop Sima Feng from continuing.

Sima Feng continued to look very confident as he did not hear any more objections. He continued, “Although disguising and camouflaging were one of the expertise skills, it would be impossible for anyone to do those without any flaws. I believe that all of you can understand this.”

“To be able to reduce the risk of being exposed, the experts would always follow the target and spend a lot of time observing and imitating him. This is allow the mimicked expressions and actions to remain the same.”

“But Senior Kong Qing standing before us seemed to have failed to retain all these skills!”

“This might be my first time meeting the senior, but due to the habit of my work, I have been observing him since Senior Kong Qing had eliminated the Sixth Highness of the Radiant Moon Empire.”

“It was very strange since the moment Senior Kong Qing walked out from the wooden house. He might try very hard to imitate, but judging from his actions and expressions, they were all different from the usual Senior Kong Qing. The most obvious area would be the “eyes”, as that is be the hardest part to hide, even if you are best at imitating someone.”

“Therefore, he’s fake, and if I didn’t guess wrongly, the real Senior Kong Qing would still be in the wooden house!”

The black coat young man finished his sentence and pointed at the wooden house in front of them. There was a faint glow coming out from him, as he fixed his eyes on Fang Zhengzhi.

“Wew!”

Everyone had a drastic change in their expressions upon hearing the explanation. He was really an impersonator of Kong Qing? If these were all true, it would be very terrible.

They were all standing at the bottom of the Heaven Dao Pavilion now.

Impersonating one of the disciples in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, was not be the smartest thing to do now. And most importantly, what would be the reason of imitating Kong Qing?

“Hehe, I thought you had some hard evidence, so it is just by observing?” One of the disciples walked out, “Senior Kong Qing had long reached the peak of the Supernatural State, nobody would have the chance to defeat Kong Qing and impersonate him!”

“That’s right, it’s impossible!”

“We truly believe that this is the real Senior Kong Qing!”

The other two disciples also nodded their heads in agreement.

In reality, the three disciples had been trying their best to be close with “Kong Qing” ever since “Kong Qing”‘ had eliminated some of the contestants earlier, showcasing his power.

Now…

Naturally they would not immediately take the side of Sima Feng.

“You may really be one of the Sima family, but I will not believe your explanation just from one speech!” One of the contestants rebuked at the same moment.

Of course, he was trying to impress Kong Qing.

“Exactly!”

“We don’t believe it!”

The rest of the contestants heard that and began expressing their views.

“Still choose not to believe?” Sima Feng stared at the pairs of angry eyes around him, and looked at Qian Wu standing behind him. With a face of determination, he said, “What if I am able to expose the real identity of this person here?”

“Real identity?”

“Even if he is an impersonator, how is it even possible to recognise the true identity of the person just by one look? That’s totally ridiculous.”

Those who were still doubting the words of Sima Feng, finally couldn’t tolerate any longer. That was totally unbelievable.

“Nothing impossible, right? Fang Zhengzhi!” Sima Feng clenched his fist tightly, as he continued staring at his face.

“Fang Zhengzhi?!”

“The Fang Zhengzhi from the Great Xia Dynasty?”

“I heard that Fang Zhengzhi was the shameless guy who, under coincidental and fortunate circumstances managed to contribute much to the Great Xi Dynasty, and finally crowned as the king!”

The contestants heard the name Fang Zhengzhi and quickly recalled the recent rumours of this person from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Upon hearing what Sima Feng had said, the cold and silent Yan Xiu had a change in his facial expression.

“Fang Zhengzhi?” Yanxiu said silently under his breath, as he clenched his fist tightly, emitting a faint red light.

Nangong Mu also had a change in his expression as he looked directly at Fang Zhengzhi. It was unable to tell if he was pleasantly surprised, or shocked.

“Hahaha……Did you just said that Fang Zhengzhi is the impersonator of Senior Kong Qing? If you had mentioned others, I may have believed what you said. But I have heard of Fang Zhengzhi this name.” One of the disciple in the Heaven Dao Pavilion laughed.

“Yes, senior Nangong has once casually mentioned about Fang Zhengzhi. Although we admit that he’s a smart and intelligent being, but if I didn’t remember wrongly, he’s only in the Supernatural State?”

“That’s so ridiculous, Sima Feng. Are you trying to say that the real Senior Kong Qing was defeated by Fang Zhengzhi, who was only in the Supernatural State? And he was defeated so quietly in front of everyone?”

“Just scram, we the Heaven Dao Pavilion do not welcome you!”

The two disciples sounded very cold, as they were very aware of Kong Qing’s power. The other sages would never defeat Kong Zhi, let alone Fang Zhengzhi.

“Please don’t get angry. I did not mention anything about Kong Qing being defeated by Fang Zhengzhi, similar to you, I believe in the powers of Kong Qing, but there’s no rule about being defeated by purely using their powers.” Sima Feng grinned and continued, “I believe everyone would have heard of the shameless attitude of Fang Zhengzhi. Maybe he had some hidden plot? Or maybe he used poision!”

“Poison?!”

“Yes, he used poison. In fact, you all would have known about how deceitful Fang Zhengzhi is. He is very daring and would dare to do things that others won’t. Therefore, I’m 90% sure that the Senior Kong Qing standing before us is actually Fang Zhengzhi!” Sima Feng finished his sentence, looking very determined.

“Let’s just say that you’re right, but why would he impersonate Senior Kong Qing!”

“Because of Yan Xiu, he wanted to help Yan Xiu pass this Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test. Thus he chose to imitate Senior Kong Qing, and eliminate all of us in the first round!” Sima Feng said as he took one step and looked straight at Fang Zhengzhi.

“Yan Xiu?”

The three disciples and the contestants turned their attention towards Yan Xiu at this moment.

While they were still afraid to confirm….

But what if that was really the case?

If everything was right from the beginning?

Just like what Sima Feng had explained earlier about Kong Qing’s actions, they were indeed not suitable for the selection test. Who would eliminate eight contestants just at the start of the test?

Even though, everything that “Kong Qing” had mentioned earlier were very impressive.

However, all these were just too strange.

The three disciples all frowned as they were not certain about Sima Feng’s words. But looking back at the things “Senior Kong Qing” had said, they were still not sure if all these were not real.

Hesitation.

Silence….

None of them opened their mouth, but they were all staring at Fang Zhengzhi’s body, making a lot of guesses.

“Fang Zhengzhi, what else do you want to say, just hand us the real Senior Kong Qing. Do you know where you are now? To tell you, this is the Heaven Dao Pavilion, not your Great Xia Dynasty. It’s not a place for you to misbehave!” Sima Feng looked at the crowd and was even more determined.

To be exact, he was confident of his guess as Qian Wu had said something really important.

Yan Xiu was here!

Fang Zhengzhi would certainly be present too.

But Fang Zhengzhi was not in the crowd, therefore it could only be that Fang Zhengzhi was impersonating as Kong Qing, since he would never impersonate any one of the contestants.

That was a daring guess…

But Sima Feng decided to gamble on this opportunity. It was worth it.

Because if he had not took the risk, then Qian Wu would be eliminated by “Kong Qing”. In such a situation, he had no choice but to take it.
