In the silent conference hall, Shi Feng's voice echoed for a long time. Not a single person present raised any objection or dissatisfaction toward what Shi Feng had just said. Even though Nine Dragons Emperor wanted to speak, he simply couldn't open his mouth.
Although this wasn't a hundred Bronze Rank speedboats, now that they had the design blueprints for Bronze Rank speedboats, would it really be difficult to produce a hundred of them?
Even if gathering the materials was difficult and troublesome, it was still far, far easier than completing quests or killing field bosses in hopes of obtaining Bronze Rank speedboats.
After all, once they collected all the materials, they would 100% receive a Bronze Rank speedboat. Quests that rewarded Bronze Rank speedboats were rare finds that came purely by chance, and as for relying on field boss drops—those were even more hopeless.
The value of a hundred Bronze Rank speedboats for the current Dragon Phoenix Pavilion was completely immeasurable.
One could even say that as long as the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion possessed these hundred Bronze Rank speedboats, it could instantly become one of the few supreme maritime superpowers on the Sea of Death.
With that, who inside the entire Dragon Phoenix Pavilion would dare say a single word of opposition to Shi Feng?
Nine Dragons Emperor knew all too well the personalities of the high-ranking officials and elders within the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion. Moreover, in the Divine Realm, the strong reigned supreme. Compared to leveraging external connections, one's own strength was far more important.
And sitting across from Nine Dragons Emperor, Qing Huang and the others had been stunned for quite some time. It took a long while before their gazes shifted from the virtual screen back to Shi Feng, their eyes brimming with indescribable excitement.
"Sister Qianyu, Black Flame is incredible! Now it doesn't matter even if Star Ring and the Blood War Adventurer Corps are backing Nine Dragons Emperor," Qing Huang whispered to Feng Qianyu.
She had never imagined that Shi Feng possessed something so powerful—this was a treasure that could influence the balance of power across the entire Sea of Death.
If this item hadn't been stored in a backpack, even if someone used special means to kill Shi Feng and greatly increased the drop rate, the chances of it actually dropping would be extremely slim. She wouldn't have doubted for a second that everyone present would have turned on Shi Feng.
"Don't get excited just yet. This still depends on the Grand Master and the various elders' decisions. I don't think the Grand Master and the elders originally handed over the position to Nine Dragons Emperor in such a hurry just because Star Ring and the Blood War Adventurer Corps were standing behind him," Feng Qianyu replied softly.
The Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's strength might indeed fall short of Star Ring's, and its maritime influence couldn't compare to the Blood War Adventurer Corps, but it was still a top-tier guild, and its power was only growing. It wasn't the kind of organization that would grovel before two superpowers and think itself mighty for it. If the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion wanted to, it could easily forge connections not only with Star Ring and the Blood War Adventurer Corps, but even with those super-guilds. This was something Ku Rong, as the Grand Master, understood better than anyone.
So Feng Qianyu was certain that Nine Dragons Emperor must have presented some other reason or asset that the Grand Master simply couldn't refuse, leading to that decision.
And the strangest part of all was the appearance of Feng Qing Yue Luo. She had always been indifferent to who served as Grand Master. After all, no matter who held the position, it couldn't affect Feng Qing Yue Luo's standing within the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion—especially after she had grasped Domain, her position was unshakable.
"But a hundred Bronze Rank speedboats—even the Grand Master couldn't just let that go without serious consideration, could he?" Qing Huang suddenly realized, though she was still excited.
Shi Feng had made it perfectly clear: if the Grand Master insisted on having the displeasing Nine Dragons Emperor serve as the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's leader, then there was nothing more to discuss regarding the hundred Bronze Rank speedboats.
This was an opportunity for the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion to leap to the top tier on the seas. To say it didn't matter—no ghost in existence would believe that.
After a brief silence in the hall, the Grand Master, who had remained silent the entire time, finally spoke.
"Guild Master Black Flame jests. Since you are an honored guest invited by our Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, and an ally of our Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, you naturally have every right to voice your opinions in this meeting. Earlier, Long Wu failed to observe proper etiquette—please forgive him, Guild Master Black Flame." Grand Master Ku Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, his face brimming with warmth as he looked at Shi Feng.
