Chapter 488 - 485: Scramble
"Everyone, we have the strongest groups from all four directions here. How about this? We divide the Dragon Saliva Fruits on the tree equally among ourselves, one for each party, to share them peacefully. What do you think?"
Just when the atmosphere became somewhat tense and deadlocked, Shangguan Hong suddenly spoke up. Smiling at the crowd, he initially planned to sow discord between the two major factions and then seize the opportunity to snatch the Dragon Saliva Fruits. However, the arrival of Ye Xuan’s group made him feel somewhat outmanned, prompting him to consider an equal division.
"Divide them equally? There are so many of us, are four Dragon Saliva Fruits enough?"
Xue Lingzi sneered. He would never accept an equal share, as he always believed in strength; those with power gained more, and those without, nothing at all.
He was very confident in his own strength and naturally would not agree to share equally.
Upon hearing Xue Lingzi’s reaction, Ye Xuan also sighed in relief; if Xue Lingzi had agreed, the Dragon Saliva Fruits might have indeed been peacefully divided, and he wouldn’t stand a chance. After all, his current Cultivation was hardly noteworthy here, with many stronger than him, leaving him with no real influence.
"I also disagree with an equal division. Let’s rely on our own abilities instead."
On the side of the Gentleman Sect, Yang Wei initially wanted to agree to the proposal. However, the two Inner Sect Elders beside him warned him that if the fruits were divided equally, they should receive priority, compelling Yang Wei to immediately reject Shangguan Hong’s proposal.
"Hmph, then let’s each rely on our own methods."
Shangguan Hong snorted coldly; he thought that at his Sixth Grade Martial Venerate level, obtaining at least one Dragon Saliva Fruit should not be impossible.
The others just gazed at the tree with the ripening Dragon Saliva Fruits, remaining silent. By now, each of the fruits had ripened, even the last of the four.
