If it's true, then this could be a terrifying disaster sweeping across the entire Ocean World, with no one able to escape unscathed.

Especially the Blue Star Captain!

Thinking about this, Fang Yu couldn't help but pace in the captain's cabin, his face showing an expression of contemplation.

Now Meng Biao is no longer trustworthy, and even the military's credibility is dubious. Within the Peacekeeping Council, some powerful people have infiltrated various forces.

It seems that apart from the Ocean Court, every other faction has infiltration from the Peacekeeping Council.

Is staying at Southeast Stone Island, or even in the Southern Island Sea Region, really safe?

But what if it's unsafe? Once war breaks out, it's the entire Ocean World's affair, and escaping anywhere would be the same.

I need to find a way to break the deadlock.

Fang Yu pondered deeply, and ultimately a figure flashed in his mind:

Kong Huaao!

Right now... perhaps only Mr. Kong is trustworthy; if the military men behind him are of the Peacekeeping Council, they certainly wouldn't invest in me with something like the Ocean Law Codex Fragments.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but open his private chat panel.

...

In the following days, Fang Yu reached out to Kong Huaao through stationed crew members at Qiyun Port, explaining his judgments to him one by one.

Kong Huaao was startled upon hearing Fang Yu's words, quickly sending a message:

"Don't alert the enemy, the Peacekeeping Council has already drawn some attention, but those people's identities are extremely mysterious. They want to do big things, aiming to overthrow the current power structure and society, so they are very secretive, not daring to expose their identities easily."

said Kong Huaao.

"I already know about this, and I know the officer who appointed Meng Biao, but it's not necessarily that this faction is the one. It's very likely that they are just being used."

"However, regardless, there are definitely issues with Meng Biao. Don't act rashly yet, try to behave normally; I'll find a way to take over the military at Southeast Stone Island, and then naturally settle accounts with Meng Biao."

"You've done well; I will assign you a secret mission with medals of honor as rewards once completed!"

Kong Huaao kept explaining his arrangements to Fang Yu, reassuring him.

Soon, a task request echoed in Fang Yu's mind from Kong Huaao:

"Acquire mission [Clear the Internal Conflict]."

[Clear the Internal Conflict]

Mission requirement: Southeast Stone Island seems to have been infiltrated by enemies, assist the military in clearing internal conflict, and regain control of military power at Southeast Stone Island.

Mission stage: First stage [Temporary Lurking]

Mission reward: 300,000 experience, Southeast Stone Island Honor Medal, 1500 military merit, several special items.

"Work hard, I've already informed the higher-ups, a prominent figure might join the Southern Island Sea Region, I'll introduce you when the time comes."

After Kong Huaao finished speaking, there was no more information.

Fang Yu waited for a while until his crew reported that Kong Huaao had left, then he quietly closed the private chat panel, feeling relieved.

As for the Peacekeeping Council matter, someone wants to intervene and manage it; although it's targeting the Blue Star Captain, there is still a considerable portion of natives who don't wish for the Peacekeeping Council to grow and want to crush it.

Since Kong Huaao has already intervened, I can focus on enhancing my personal capabilities.

...

In the following days, Fang Yu behaved very normally as Kong Huaao advised, with no abnormality, staying quietly.

During this period, Meng Biao came twice, subtly probing to extract the identity of the Divine Hall Alliance Army's mole from Fang Yu, even offering many rewards and treasures.

But Fang Yu always smiled, saying nothing.

Although Meng Biao came with intentions, he was obviously outdone by Fang Yu's ability to play Tai Chi.

No information was extracted, and he almost talked himself into a corner.

Soon, Meng Biao became cautious, knowing he couldn't match Fang Yu's skills in language and mind games, continuing to probe would just be self-humiliation, so he tactfully retreated.

"Good old Meng Biao... appearing decent on the surface, but full of cunning behind the scenes, no wonder you got a batch of Sharp Blade Army's men trapped before."

Fang Yu sneered inwardly, directly reclaiming the military power of the Sharp Blade Army, giving Meng Biao no chance to exploit his weaknesses.

Facing the meticulous Fang Yu, Meng Biao clearly had no good solution, and had to reluctantly give up probing Fang Yu's actions.

Over the next couple of days...

The Divine Hall Alliance Army, deprived of Divine Essence, stopped holding onto luck and began attacking directly.

It can't be delayed any longer; if delayed, the opportunity for battle will be missed, and when the Ocean Court returns, the Southern Island Sea Region won't be swiftly captured.

A massive amount of flesh warships, Flesh Puppets, and even controlled Blue Star Captains' vessels all appeared on the ocean, launching attacks towards Southeast Stone Island's blockade line.

Though Meng Biao might have hidden motives and identity, at least on the surface, he was still the Commander of Southeast Stone Island, with numerous eyes focused on him, prompting Meng Biao to at least pretend to command Southeast Stone Island's military forces, initiating defensive counterattacks.

One captain after another, one soldier after another, at this time, entered the battlefield, going forward and participating in the war against the Divine Hall Alliance Army.

"Brother Fang Yu, what do you think? Now that the war has officially started, during this intense battle, Duorong's military is lacking plenty of forces. Why not lend me your Sharp Blade Army again, so I can count military merits and mission rewards for you."

Meng Biao approached Fang Yu, patting his shoulder amiably, speaking to Fang Yu in a sincere and straightforward attitude.

But Fang Yu slightly shook his head, saying, "No need, I'll personally lead the Sharp Blade Army to the expedition, also joining the war. Old Meng, you handle the battlefield layout, and I'll contribute my strength."

Meng Biao opened his mouth, hit a soft nail, and had to turn around and leave.

He kept watching Fang Yu, trying to see if Fang Yu suspected him, posing a threat.

But then suddenly...

Fang Yu stayed the same, without showing particularly aggressive behavior, just like other Outer Realm Captains, accepting various tasks.

"Old Meng, the defense mission at 312 coordinate, leave it to me. I can lead the army independently to stop this area, preventing any Flesh Puppets from passing!"

Fang Yu spoke loudly, taking the task, turning around to lead the army away.

"Uh... okay..."

Meng Biao grew more suspicions, nodded slightly, then handed the task to Fang Yu, continually observing Fang Yu's actions.

But after observing for a while, Meng Biao withdrew his gaze.

Fang Yu seemed to indeed not harbor any suspicion, just like other Outer Realm Captains, he took on tasks then really led the Sharp Blade Army away from Southeast Stone Island to the frontline battlefield, supporting the battle.

"It seems there shouldn't be anything wrong; he probably didn't reveal the mole's identity because he wanted to seek more benefits from it. As for my identity, I doubt he'd suspect it."

Meng Biao completely relaxed, nodded slightly, putting down his guard and observation of Fang Yu.

A while later, with sudden realization, Meng Biao murmured.

"Wait... only Fang Yu knows the identity of that traitor, I need to give them a heads-up, mustn't go hard on Fang Yu, must ensure Fang Yu's safety, cannot kill Fang Yu."

"Otherwise, the traitor's identity clue would be cut off, leaving no investigation avenue."

"Let this kid live a little longer..."

Meng Biao muttered and turned to leave, preparing to greet "certain people" in advance.

To ensure Fang Yu's safety in this battle... allowing him to return safely.
