Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 716 - 353: Seven Generals of South Island, Huang Guang

However, after Fang Yu learned that there was a problem with the Essence Feast, he decided to stop his cultivation and hurriedly headed to the military district.

Along the way, Fang Yu’s expression slightly changed as he pondered carefully, gradually piecing together the complete story.

When he first entered Nanhui City, Fang Yu heard that the owner of the Essence Feast was highly capable, with extensive relationships and connections across various Sea Countries, allowing the feast to grow to this scale.

Now it seemed that the owner was Chongyuan, and his so-called "connections" could be seen as his clones.

Only his powerful cloning abilities, hidden throughout the world, could expand his business to every continent.

It also became clear why spiritualists had attacked him previously.

Who is Chongyuan’s true self?

The Spirit King’s progeny! Chongyuan Prince!

Due to a frail and deficient body in childhood, the Spirit King reshaped his flesh with a high-level spiritual mushroom, transforming him into a half-human, half-mushroom being.

But regardless, Chongyuan remains a bloodline of the Spirit King from the Spiritualist era, holding the true heritage of a spiritualist, making it easy to consolidate them for his use.

So, when Fang Yu arrived in Nanhui City, Chongyuan had already set things up in advance, ordering spiritualists to keep a close eye on him.

He calculated that once war broke out, the military would inevitably dispatch emissaries to the Essence Feast Company to sign frontline resource supply contracts.

Thus, he ordered spiritualists under his command to lay out a plan to assassinate him in Nanhui City.

If Yan Yu hadn’t happened to find him and fended off those spiritualist experts, Fang Yu might indeed have been besieged to death.

"Chongyuan... Chongyuan..."

Fang Yu suddenly became alert, quickly connecting recent events with everything that had happened before.

Chongyuan’s clones were so numerous, infiltrating almost all major forces.

The vice president of the Ji Clan Trading Association, wasn’t he one of Chongyuan’s clones?

Fang Yu increasingly felt it was possible.

After all, Fang Yu had discovered that the vice president was a member of the Peacekeeping Council, but deep inside, it felt strange later on.

Members of the Peacekeeping Council were indeed extraordinary, holding key positions, but the vice president of a mere trading association had negligible combat power besides his commercial influence.

At the time, Fang Yu considered him a powerful figure, but from today’s perspective, it wasn’t quite so.

How did such a person join the Peacekeeping Council?

In hindsight, the vice president must have been a clone of Chongyuan, used to supply weapons and equipment to the warlord chaos and the spiritualist aliens in the West Qinghai Sea Region.

No wonder Kong Huaao led troops to arrest the vice president, only to find he had vanished like he evaporated into thin air.

It seemed Chongyuan knew this identity had lost its value and voluntarily discarded this clone, resulting in the vice president disappearing off the face of the earth.

Moreover, Kong Huaao once told Fang Yu that the West Qinghai Sea Region had always been the world of aliens and spiritualists, with the war in the region incited by aliens who sought rebellion and war.

Reflecting on it now, the whole ordeal was likely orchestrated by Chongyuan behind the scenes, arranging everything.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu felt a chill in his heart.

Chongyuan’s clones scattered across every corner of the world, hidden like an enclosed network of pervasive fungus spores spread everywhere.

Military factory, resource company, spiritualists, commanders of the Lanyun military system.

Within the Peacekeeping Council, Yuanqi and Fisherman were more powerful than Chongyuan, but the real threat was Chongyuan.

The resources and capabilities he alone could mobilize were far superior to those of Yuanqi and Fisherman.

From turmoil in the West Qinghai Sea Region, to warlord conflicts, to Divine Hall battles, and now the war in Lanyun Sea Country, Chongyuan’s shadow lurks behind every event.

This is someone who truly stirs trouble and disrupts the Ocean World’s state.

"This person is definitely a key figure in the Peacekeeping Council. If we are to stop the council’s actions, Chongyuan’s true self must be found, yet after the eras and many pinnacle experts seeking it, it remains undiscovered in the vast sea—where to find it?"

Fang Yu frowned, contemplating quietly.

But right now, the priority wasn’t this matter, Fang Yu moved quickly and soon arrived at the military district.

"Colonel Fang Yu!"

Several soldiers saluted Fang Yu promptly.

"I’m looking for the old general!"

Fang Yu spoke directly, without any further ado, stating his intention.

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the soldiers didn’t dare delay, quickly going inside to inform the old master upstairs.

A moment later, someone briskly came downstairs to meet Fang Yu.

But to Fang Yu’s surprise, it wasn’t the soldier who reported earlier, but a tough-looking man with a major general’s medal on his chest and eyes brimming with vitality.

His posture was upright and straight, exuding authority and a calm, majestic demeanor after years of trials.

Seeing this man, Fang Yu was quite surprised, but as the man approached, Fang Yu instinctively spoke, "Commander..."

"Fang Yu!"

This man glanced at Fang Yu, then nodded slightly, "My name is Huang Guang, the old master is in poor health and undergoing treatment, leaving military affairs entirely to me."
