Chapter 936: Chapter 490: Take Action

Seeing the fluctuating expressions of the two people on the other side of the battleship’s communication projection, Song Chi thought for a moment, and added another sentence.

“You should know who exactly is targeting the Pan Family, right? As long as the other party doesn’t have a Fearless Ship at their command, I can step in and negotiate on your behalf!”

Upon hearing this, the two people in the communication projection glanced at each other, a fleeting glint of light in their eyes.

“This matter is not something we two can decide directly, we’ll need to discuss it with the other members of the family. Could we trouble you to wait for a little while?”

By their tone, Song Chi knew that although the Pan Family was currently targeted by external forces, it was obvious that the clan was not limited to just these two Zhulu Warship Captains, and neither did they intend to allow Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to enter the Floating Land.

To this, Song Chi understood and did not mind.

Although the battleship was restricted from taking any action within the Torch Human Civilization Territory, its deterrent power was nonetheless evident.

Moreover, the Torch Humanity Galaxy Cluster stretched for a billion light-years, and the number of Torch Ship Captains extended beyond a trillion?

With such a staggering number, even with the Four Great Empires’ deterrent power, could there really have been no instances of Battleship Captains breaking the rules over the past thirty thousand years?

He nodded lightly, indicating his agreement.

Upon receiving his sign, the two Zhulu Warships quickly turned around and descended to convene a family council.

At the center of the Floating Land, within the ancestral fortress of the Pan Household, in the grand council hall.

“This is the situation, what do you think?”

After detailing the matter regarding the Eastern Kunlun, the current Family Head of Pan Household scanned the eight figures seated below from the head of the hall.

Including himself, there were a total of nine people; these nine individuals also constituted all of the current Zhulu Warship Captains of the Pan Household.

Compared to the eighteen Zhulu Warship Captains and two Battleship Captains at the peak of their family’s glory fifteen hundred years ago, the current Pan Household had truly declined far too much.

After hearing everything, the several Zhulu Warship Captains in the great hall exchanged thoughts for a while before their eyes unanimously turned towards the cool-tempered woman sitting at the front on the right.

The woman, named Pan Ying, was a direct descendant from two generations above, and although she was not yet seven hundred years old, both her Guidance Technique and her flagship had reached the peak of the Fourth Rank, making her the sole peak Zhulu Warship Captain of the family.

In addition, the Time Chess component that triggered this affair was on board her flagship.

As the person the Pan Family strongly supported, the final decision on this matter actually rested with Pan Ying.

Facing the collective gaze of the family members converging on her, Pan Ying’s expression remained indifferent, showing no change, but a subtle color of conflict flickered in the depths of her eyes.

She was very familiar with her own flagship; although it had already reached the limits of a Zhulu Warship, with her age set in stone, the chances of advancing to a Battleship were not great, even with the full support of the Clan Elders—she would need at least another hundred years of consolidation.

But the difficulty lay precisely here; with the current foundation of the Pan Family, giving her that much time was already very challenging.

The Pan Family had indeed reached the pinnacle of greatness at one time, but ever since the last Battleship Captain fell in the Alien Star Domain fifteen hundred years ago, the strength of the Pan Household has been continuously diminishing.

True, Battleship Captains were not allowed to actively participate in struggles, but a family that controlled vast territories would definitely not survive without the presence of a Battleship Captain.

Because the very existence of a Battleship Captain represents a strategic deterrence; even if they cannot personally intervene, the networks and influence that surround them are incomparable to Zhulu Warship Captains.

This also explains why, over the last fifteen hundred years, the territories under the Pan Household’s control were gradually encroached upon, and now only this Fifth Level Life Floating Land remained, and even this land was on the brink of collapse. The covetous stares from outside the Floating Land have been ever-present, and if a breakthrough cannot be found, it’s feared that it wouldn’t be long before the Pan Family would be swallowed whole, without even bones remaining.

With these thoughts, Pan Ying’s cool eyes suddenly steadied; she had made a decision.

She stood up and nodded towards the Family Head and the Clan Elders seated at the head of the hall.

“Family Head, Clan Elders, I wish to speak with that person myself!”

“Little Ying, you…”

Before the Family Head of Pan could say anything more, strands of green and mysterious aura had already appeared around Pan Ying’s body, enveloped by the Law of Wind at minor accomplishment, she vanished from the ancestral fortress like a breeze.

Outside the Floating Land Shield, Song Chi, standing in the Battleship Main Control Room, watched closely as the faint green Zhulu Warship approached from within the Floating Land Shield.

The Zhulu Warship was 3,500 meters long, and its warship foundation was clearly excellent, but this wasn’t where Song Chi’s interest lay.

His gaze swept over the Heavenly Destiny Compass·Disk component to make sure that the dot displayed on it corresponded to this Zhulu Warship.

In other words, the second Time Chess component was indeed installed on this Zhulu Warship.

Minutes later, the faint green Zhulu Warship had already reached the highest point within the Floating Land Shield and without any delay, it sent a communication request to the Eastern Kunlun.

Once the communication was connected, both parties quickly saw each other’s projection. Song Chi remained calm, unaffected.

Even though Pan Ying also had a beauty above the average, and her innate aloofness could make her stand out in the crowd—by comparison, she was still a notch below the one from the Silver Disk Floating Land that Song Chi had encountered earlier.

“So, have you reached a conclusion we can discuss?”
