What More Could They Need? (Seven-Thousand-Word Mega Chapter)

In the previous battle against the Sea Yaksha Clan, Gemini Islands had successfully repelled the invading enemy, but their own losses had not been small either. Six Ocean Battleships alone had sunk, leaving one fleet nearly crippled.

With the copper walls and iron ramparts formed by the warships, the cultivators' casualties had not been particularly severe. However, the expenditure of supplies was truly staggering. If not for the Wanlong Merchant Association backing them, they genuinely could not have withstood such consumption.

They had won the battle, but also piled up a mountain of debt. Fortunately, Song Changsheng had reaped a substantial harvest from the Sea Yaksha Clan's treasure vault. After Song Qingxi auctioned off part of it, they had repaid most of the debt from previously hiring Li Chenming to arrange the Fourth-Tier High Grade Guardian Great Array.

The remainder could slowly be paid off through the normal profits of the Song Clan's industries around Gemini Islands.

"You've finally arrived. If you had taken any longer, I was planning to enter seclusion," Song Youfu said with a grin as he saluted Song Qingxia at the docks.

"Are you preparing to enter seclusion and break through to the Purple Palace Stage?" Song Qingxia looked him over, a gratified expression appearing in her eyes.

Song Youfu chuckled but said nothing.

The truth was indeed as Song Qingxia had said. He was preparing to enter seclusion and break through to the Purple Palace Stage.

In the previous battle, he had charged in and out of the battlefield three times. Alone with bow in hand, he had killed until the sea demons trembled in terror. Beneath the sharp edge of his arrows, they either died or were wounded. He had slain and injured several hundred sea demons, including quite a few second-tier sea demons.
