"You want to talk to me privately?" Shi Feng was slightly surprised when he heard Xuan Jing say that.
He hadn't expected Wangzhe Yongmian to want to speak with him personally.
The Holy Law Palace was a genuine super-guild — completely different from the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion. Even the current top-tier Miracle Guild fell short of it.
This was precisely why Feng Qianyu needed to recruit the Holy Law Palace and the War Wolves.
If she could ally with either of the two great guilds, she could counterbalance the Nine Dragons Emperor, who had partnered with the Miracle Guild, and avoid being put on the defensive.
"That's right. Our Guild Master is quite interested in the Zero Wing Guild," Xuan Jing nodded.
In truth, she was also quite surprised that Guild Master Wangzhe Yongmian would speak with Shi Feng directly. Even Feng Qianyu couldn't manage that — usually such matters were handled by a vice guild master. Only the Grand Master of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion had that kind of qualification.
"Sure. When would you like to meet?" Shi Feng agreed.
He had originally thought the Holy Law Palace would wait until the battle for Thunder Island was completely over before reaching out. Wangzhe Yongmian contacting him proactively was a good sign — after all, Thunder Island was far from easy to control.
In his previous life, so many superpowers had fought over it, yet in the end it had still turned into joint management, hadn't it?
Thunder Island had a total of seventeen monster gathering points, and only by capturing every single one during the contest could it be fully controlled. Currently, even the major superpowers were doing well to hold two or three. Trying to monopolize Thunder Island was simply unrealistic.
Just as Shi Feng finished speaking, a friend request suddenly appeared in his system notification bar — from none other than Wangzhe Yongmian himself.
"That was fast." Shi Feng promptly clicked accept.
In the Divine Realm, before becoming friends, two players couldn't communicate directly — at most they could send messages. However, most players chose to block messages from non-friends.
"Guild Master Wangzhe, reaching out in such a hurry — is there something urgent?" Shi Feng asked with a smile, looking at the grave, serious expression of the middle-aged man on his screen.
As the Guild Master of the Holy Law Palace, Wangzhe Yongmian had achieved countless accomplishments over his ten years in the Divine Realm, creating one spectacular feat after another. He especially emphasized maritime development, placing the Holy Law Palace firmly among the top naval powers. Just in the current contest for Thunder Island, the Holy Law Palace held more slots than any other superpower.
A full 710 people!
From the very start, they had been fighting on two fronts, and no one dared provoke them. Now they were on the verge of capturing their second monster gathering point, while other superpowers had only just begun attacking theirs. Their strength spoke for itself.
"Elder Ye Feng, I've watched Zero Wing in action — very impressive. On top of that, your guild possesses a sailing ship. Both I and the Guild Master of the War Wolves agree that you qualify to cooperate with us. Therefore, we've decided to grant the Zero Wing Guild a twenty-percent share of Thunder Island."
Not a trace of emotion could be seen on Wangzhe Yongmian's face — no joy, no sorrow, just a poker face. His words of praise were delivered as blandly as plain water, yet they sank deep into one's consciousness all the same.
Even Shi Feng couldn't help but admire Wangzhe Yongmian's skill upon hearing those words. No wonder he could lead such a massive guild — not a single executive in the entire Holy Law Palace was anything less than wholeheartedly devoted.
"So, Guild Master Wangzhe, you're agreeing to let Zero Wing and Feng Qianyu claim a forty-percent share of Thunder Island?" Shi Feng asked with a smile.
"Thunder Island is crucial for future maritime development — I'm sure you understand that well, Elder Ye Feng. That girl Feng Qianyu has some potential, but unfortunately it's not enough for cooperation with us. However, once the Zero Wing Guild has this twenty-percent share, I believe that before long, Zero Wing will become a dominant power on the seas." Wangzhe Yongmian shook his head and spoke softly.
"So, Guild Master Wangzhe, you're proposing an alliance between our three guilds?" Shi Feng asked with a frown.
