Chapter 556: Chapter 295: Duchy Capital – Golden Dragon Star Domain_2

Upon speculating this, the senior Cruiser Captain from the Howell Family Clan suddenly lost the courage to continue the pursuit, and the speed of the warship noticeably slowed down.

On the side, another cruiser quickly spoke up and asked upon seeing this.

After hearing this speculation, the Cruiser Captain wrestled with the decision for a moment before also choosing to give up the chase.

Seeing the two cruisers unhesitatingly turning around to continue pursuing the remaining 14 Law Fruits, Song Chi was somewhat surprised.

Of course, he was more pleased; overall, his haul from this secret realm expedition was quite impressive.

...

Two Space Law Fruits, a Metal Attribute Law Fruit, an Earth Attribute Law Fruit, plus a Spatial Law Tree and a Light Attribute Law Tree, when tallied up, definitely amounted to a bountiful harvest.

Moreover, he hadn’t exposed too much of his own strength, at most just an Orange Main Cannon, a Fourth Rank Enslaved creature, and a Soldier Figurine Component enhanced to the Fifth-Rank Level.

Compared to the various hidden strengths of the Cang Qiong like today, these three could be said to be the most ordinary components on the warship; even if seen by members of both families, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

The warship sped along, and the Cang Qiong soon returned to where the two Zhulu Warships were suspended.

Song Chi naturally had no intention of speaking up, but the Zhulu Warship belonging to the Howell Family Clan, the Platinum Oak Ship, clearly didn’t plan to let him off so easily.

In the group chat of the three warships, a Fourth Rank Torch Ship Captain from the Howell Family Clan repeatedly shifted the topic to Song Chi.

“Li Changming, two Law Trees, and one of them a Spatial Law Tree, isn’t your Li Family afraid of bursting?”

From within the Divine Wind Changming Ship, Li Changming let out a cold laugh, but did not retort at all.

Seeing this, the Fourth Rank Torch Ship Captain from the Howell Family Clan shifted his gaze and sternly reprimanded Song Chi:

“You little brat, if you know what’s good for you, hand over those two Law Trees, and those two Space Law Fruits while you’re at it. Some things are not for you to covet, even with your family backing you…”

Before he could finish speaking, a rattling roar of a Dragon Whale sounded through the black starry sky outside of the Floating Land.

Immediately afterward, Song Chi’s resolute reply came through the group chat.

“Lord Howell, I’m well aware that you have significant influence in the Golden Wind Star Domain, but whether my clan and I are entitled to those two Law Trees is not for you to decide!”

In that instant, the Contending Warship Captain from the Howell Family Clan’s expression darkened to the extreme, facing the defiant response from the small Cruiser Captain, Song Chi, he found himself unable to forcefully rebut.

He knew all too well the influence of the Dinghai Song Family, and to make matters worse, that family was extremely protective. If he truly angered them, the whole Howell Family Clan would suffer.

This amusing scene delighted another person in the group chat, the joy in their eyes impossible to conceal.

“Li Changming, well done!”

The Contending Warship Captain from the Howell Family Clan swept a cold glance over Li Changming, then turned back to Song Chi.

“Young man, being easily bewitched to meddle in the conflicts of other powers is not a good habit. Once you come across a tough opponent, even the name of the Dinghai Song Family might not always work!”

After speaking, he actively cut off the communication, unwilling to engage any further.

Naturally, Song Chi did not try to overstep; after all, the other party was a Fourth Rank Torch Ship Captain. Provoking him further would be bad for both parties.

In the communication channel, Li Changming once again nodded warmly toward Song Chi, and after Song Chi responded, the two then broke off communication.

As for the Li Family, Song Chi’s impression wasn’t much better; after all, they were just using him.

Time passed, and the exploration of the Floating Land’s secret realm continued for another two days, until all the mature Law Fruits in the secret realm had been allocated, officially bringing an end to this exploration.

As for the final outcome, apart from Song Chi, the third party, the Howell Family Clan acquired a total of 17 Law Fruits, including 3 Space Law Fruits; the Li Family gleaned 14 Law Fruits, which also included 3 Space Law Fruits.

Regarding the subsequent allocation of this secret realm, that was beyond what Song Chi could know; perhaps the Li Family and the Howell Family Clan would still need to go through several rounds of negotiations.

At the entrance to the secret realm, close to forty Torch Warships burst out in succession, but in the instant they emerged from the entrance, every member of the Divine Wind Li Clan changed their expressions.

In the few days of exploration, quite a few more warships from both families had unexpectedly arrived outside of the secret realm, including the second Zhulu Warship from the Howell Family Clan.

Looking at the Li Family’s side, there was only one cruiser with a Fourth Rank Level “Zephyr Bird” supporting it; just from this detail, it was clear that the Howell Family Clan held the absolute upper hand.

If members of the Howell Family Clan chose to act at this moment, the entire Divine Wind Li Clan would likely suffer heavy losses.

And indeed, the personnel from the Howell Family Clan were itching to make a move.

In the private communication channel belonging to the Howell Family Clan’s two Zhulu Warships, the discussion was ongoing.

“Big brother, should we just take action? Li Changming alone can hardly stop the two of us, and the threat from that Zephyr Bird is limited.”

“Big brother, why don’t you say something?”

“This is a good opportunity; we could definitely make the Li Family hurt…”

…

“Alright, it’s not that I don’t want to take action, but don’t you understand… there are people from the Dinghai Song Family opposite us!”

“Why not… The Dinghai Song Family? Haven’t they always been guarding the Dinghai Star Domain? Why suddenly… Damn it!”
