"You mean the Morninglight Fleet has people of its own in Mingli Land?" Chen Changan asked with a frown.
"That... perhaps. Perhaps not."
"We don't know. We didn't recognize the person who came."
"But we can't afford to offend the Morninglight Fleet. We never expected you to be so hard to deal with, either."
The Morninglight Fleet had become one of the three great fleets in the Endless Star River while making its living through plunder. It could not have done that without strength.
The three clans were powerful in Mingli Land, but across the entire Endless Star River, they were nothing remarkable.
After all, the Endless Star River encompassed the whole Vast Starfield.
The Morninglight Fleet had plundered for years and still existed. That meant its strength ranked among the best even in the Vast Starfield.
Faced with such a terrifying force, the three clans naturally dared not defy it.
"I didn't expect the Morninglight Fleet to find us so quickly."
"But I don't think it was the fleet's higher-ups who learned about us. Probably just some members."
"That's why they could only get people in Mingli Land to make a move."
"They probably didn't expect us to be this hard to handle, either. If they'd settled the matter, they could have claimed credit for it."
"I suspect they were lurking somewhere near the entrance to Mingli Land and overheard us when we arrived," Mu Yunyao analyzed.
Chen Changan nodded. The other party had probably hoped to sit back and reap the spoils while others fought.
But no one had expected Chen Changan's strength to defy the heavens like this.
"To think the Morninglight Fleet has already set its sights on us."
"Looks like we'll be dealing with them plenty from now on," Chen Changan said with a smile.
