Chapter 902: Chapter 873: The Representative

Discovery of a new faction?

Chen Feng paid great attention to Xu Hongzhuang’s report. In previous explorations, human forces were not unheard of, but most of them were invaded and left fragmented. Over the past six months, the population of over a hundred thousand at the Sea God’s Residence was the largest force Order had discovered.

Aside from that, all others were small groups of thousands or even hundreds, hiding in deserted corners, struggling to survive.

No one wishes to endure solitude, and neither does Chen Feng.

Even though Order now has a population of one million, every time Chen Feng thinks about the vastness of the world, possibly with only his team surviving, he feels some pressure.

After all, this world is not just composed of humans; countless enemies are lurking nearby. No matter how strong Order is, it fights alone, which makes one feel somewhat lonely.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Feng never stopped the exploration work, starting from the center of Order and exploring outward. The previous times were mere skirmishes, but now, Chen Feng has finally caught a big fish.

An allied force?

A conservative estimate of their population is in the millions, perhaps more!

However, this time the exploration department has learned from past failures. They did not rush to engage but rather returned to base to seek Xu Hongzhuang’s opinion!

Indeed, Xu Hongzhuang has already taken a position of power. Although certain matters could be resolved autonomously in Chen Feng’s absence, this situation is different. A population of over a million represents a true force comparable to or even stronger than Order. In this case, Xu Hongzhuang dared not act rashly and sought Chen Feng’s advice.

"I need to hold a meeting at 3 PM. All key personnel from the departments must be present." Chen Feng pondered for a moment and issued the order.

"Understood!" Xu Hongzhuang bowed slightly and responded in a deep voice.

This matter is of great importance. Even though Chen Feng has the right to make autonomous decisions, the scope of the issue is wide. Besides, he also wants to observe the new talents within Order.

.........

Chen Feng personally issued the order; naturally, none of his subordinates dared to be absent. At 3 PM, thirty-two key personnel from various departments filled a round table.

Those present were notable figures in Order. Besides the group that had followed Chen Feng since his rise, there were many new faces.

Among them, three people stood out in various fields. The first was the handsome gentleman Li Yu, just as his name suggests, possessing a good appearance. In his previous life, Chen Feng had met Li Yu, but at that time, he had been physically exhausted due to indulgence in women. Even with his tremendous strength, he always appeared sickly, exuding an aura of effeminacy. However, under the current laws, he has transformed, not only abandoning his past indulgences but also marrying early and having a pair of lovely twins, making him somewhat a life’s winner.

The second was like a small mountain. Even though he appeared kind and somewhat simple, the oppressive aura from his three-meter-tall frame was undeniable. This reminded Chen Feng of the first monster he’d slain, the Corpse Demon Mountain Kui, who was immensely powerful and grotesque, inciting uncontrollable fear at a single glance.

Wang Xudong!

However, this youth named Wang Xudong was many times stronger than Mountain Kui. Despite his simple appearance and frequent utterance of ’suffering losses is a blessing,’ he possessed immense fortune. His awakened ability resembled a Half-Beastman’s, but unlike others who transformed into beasts like wolves or leopards, when Wang Xudong entered a frenzy, he turned into a half-human, half-elephant state!

His nose even elongated to over a meter, turning into a whip that could instantly smash through concrete walls.

He was a warrior, having reached the Golden Tier early on. Looking at his progress, in another half year, perhaps even sooner, he could enter the Legendary Tier. By then, he might fully transform into a massive armored elephant, smashing even specially built city gates with ease!

The last person was the ugliest, possessing two heads – one old, one young. The youthful head was vibrant at eighteen, while the older head was wrinkled like an elderly woman—particularly, its eyes were as gloomy and deep as those of a Tomb Guardian. Staring into them could make an ordinary person’s heart skip a beat.

Li Sisi, a nice name, but abandoned since childhood for being a conjoined twin. The doomsday mutation turned her into two entities—one eternally youthful and the other aged by decades in an instant, leaving her bizarre appearance.

She now serves in the Blood Battle Camp, acting as Wei Xun’s right hand. Maybe due to her sudden physical changes, her personality became unpredictable and shadowy; she found brutal assassinations enjoyable during battles, even being listed under the Dark Department’s control!

The Dark Department now acts as Order’s eyes, monitoring criminals and investigating those on the brink of losing control, all to maintain Order’s safety and eliminate potential internal issues.

Li Yu, Wang Xudong, Li Sisi—these three were the rising stars. Li Yu was Lu Wei’s confidant; Wang Xudong respected Wei Xun, while the unnaturally grotesque Li Sisi aligned with Xu Hongzhuang. Xu Hongzhuang and the others have been longstanding followers of Chen Feng, and where people gather, disputes arise. The trio now holds critical positions, creating intricate interests relationships.

However, their influence is considerable. If their discord spread, it could negatively impact Order. In such circumstances, Li Sisi and company were like mini-battlegrounds, with everyone well aware of who their respective sponsors were.

A water too clear has no fish, and Chen Feng understood this principle. Importantly, he knew Order couldn’t allow any single entity to monopolize power, which is why he created multiple departments. Currently, Xu Hongzhuang, Lu Wei, and Wei Xun form a perfect balance indirectly.

Order belongs to Chen Feng, and no one could challenge this fact.

"Are these the spokespersons you’ve chosen?" Chen Feng saw through the subtle maneuvers of Xu Hongzhuang and the others clearly. His task now was to test the three and see if they were worthy of Wei Xun and the others’ extensive cultivation!
