Hearing Chongyuan’s words, the Evergreen Adept was still relatively calm, but Fang Yu, as well as Luo Kuan, Du Ran and the other Blue Star Navigators, all showed a thoughtful yet grave expression.

The purpose and meaning of the Blue Star Captains’ descent? And who was it that brought the Blue Star Captains here?

To be honest, very few Blue Star Captains had really thought about this question.

Those who have just arrived in this world know nothing about it, and simply treat it like a game, starting an adventure.

And those who have gained some understanding of this world are easily dragged into certain factions and events, like Fang Yu, with no time left to think about much else.

Now, after hearing Chongyuan’s words, even Fang Yu couldn’t help starting to think.

The descent of the Blue Star Captains... whose doing was it, in the end?

And what is the purpose of the one who wants the Blue Star Captains to descend?

This was a question Fang Yu couldn’t ignore, because he himself was one of the Blue Star Captains; if that mastermind took action, he would undoubtedly be implicated as well.

On this question, the Blue Star Captains had already become a community of shared fate: if one prospers, all prosper.

Chongyuan at the side said nothing, just quietly looked at Fang Yu and the others, as if waiting for them to think things through.

After a long while, Fang Yu took a deep breath, turned his gaze to Chongyuan, then spoke in a low voice: "Fine, I accept your request. We cooperate... to kill Yuanqi!"

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, all the crew were taken aback. Ma grew anxious and hurriedly spoke to Fang Yu through the Brain Domain Sharing Channel: "Captain, you mustn’t! This man is from the Peacekeeping Council, and he’s deeply scheming. Cooperating with him is no different from asking a tiger for its skin..."

However, Fang Yu merely gave Ma a glance, then slightly shook his head, signaling him not to say more.

Chongyuan’s gaze swept over Ma inadvertently, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, but he didn’t care.

Though Ma’s Brain Domain Sharing was impressive, for Chongyuan, who excelled at scheming and Spiritual Power, there weren’t many secrets to speak of.

What pleased Chongyuan more was... Fang Yu had actually agreed to his request. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Chongyuan let out a breath, then smiled and nodded to Fang Yu in greeting: "Little brother Fang Yu, you definitely won’t regret the decision you made today."

"Cut the crap."

Fang Yu couldn’t be bothered to pick up Chongyuan’s line. He gave Chongyuan a sidelong glance, then spoke in a low voice, "Say it. How are we cooperating? What do you need me to do?"

"Very simple!"

Chongyuan nodded, then said, "Little brother Fang Yu, you should already have obtained the Sea God’s inheritance. Within the Sea God’s inheritance is the full Ocean Law Power, and that Law Power is above all the Water Element Law Power Yuanqi possesses."

"As long as you use the Ocean Law abilities within the Sea God’s inheritance, you can silently and without a trace remove the Water Poison in my body, to the point that even Yuanqi himself will find it hard to detect."

"When your army reaches West Cyan Continent, we will pretend to fight, but in truth join forces to execute Yuanqi."

Chongyuan spoke with complete confidence.

Hearing this, Fang Yu couldn’t help but frown slightly: "You have an incarnation within the Sea Race as well?"

"My incarnations are spread throughout every faction and every continent."

Chongyuan lowered his eyes, not denying it.

Seeing Chongyuan nod, Fang Yu couldn’t help taking a deep breath.

This half-human, half-fungus lifeform was indeed bizarre; with incarnations spread across the entire world, it could be said that there was almost nothing happening in any region that could escape Chongyuan’s eyes and ears.

Faced with such an expert, if one didn’t know where his true body was, he would truly be hard to deal with.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu spoke in a low voice: "Alright, in that case, will I also be able to know the location of your true body?"

"Yes!" A smile appeared on Chongyuan’s face. "This can be considered my token of sincerity for our cooperation."

"Good!"

Fang Yu nodded, and then saw the Chongyuan before him begin to wither.

Like a plant that has lost its water and been dried out by the sun, his body turned desiccated.

At the moment of withering, a set of coordinates was clearly sent by Chongyuan into Fang Yu’s mind:

"My true body is at this location. When the time comes, I will lure Yuanqi away, and you can then extract the Water Poison from my body. Be careful, and don’t expose your aura."

Chongyuan’s voice grew weaker and weaker, and then the incarnation before them suddenly shattered with a "crack," and a milky-white pill dropped out from within. Even with sea winds all around, they couldn’t cover the rich medicinal fragrance of this pill.

"This is... the Spirit Pill to heal the Old Ancestor!"

Seeing this pill, the Evergreen Adept’s expression turned to joy. He carefully scooped up the pill that had fallen onto the deck, hurriedly put it into a jade bottle, and stowed it away with solemn care.

...

After that, now that they had confirmed the so-called Spirit King inheritance was already an empty shell, Fang Yu and Evergreen had absolutely no need to keep going forward.

Fang Yu let out a small sigh.

Damn it, he had originally thought he could rely on this haul to get the resources needed to upgrade from Dragon Ship Level to a Legendary Ship.

He hadn’t expected that these resources had long since been completely consumed by Chongyuan over the past hundred years.

He’d gotten excited for nothing.

Still, this trip was not without gains. If he could join forces with Chongyuan to kill Yuanqi, then for Fang Yu, he’d rather give up those resources.

Between Yuanqi and Fang Yu, there was already a "you live, I die" kind of enmity. Whether it was the previous use of Fang Yu in the Sin Domain, or Fang Yu taking back the Ocean Scripture from Yuanqi’s hands...
