"It's nothing major, really. I just want to buy something from Zero Wing," Xuan Jing replied with a smile to Shi Feng's question.
"Might I ask what Sect Master Xuan Jing wishes to buy?" Shi Feng asked, also curious.
Generally, anything Zero Wing sold was available through the Candlelight Trading Firm.
Given the Holy Temple's capabilities, even the restricted intermediate magic armor plates should be easy for them to obtain. Why would they need to negotiate a deal directly with him? Just giving an order to their subordinates would suffice.
"A slot for the Holy City!" Xuan Jing said with utmost seriousness.
"How did you know about that?" Shi Feng's expression darkened.
The news of obtaining the city entry token was known to very few people. Lan wouldn't leak it, and he had taken considerable steps to keep it secret. It shouldn't have spread this quickly.
However, Xuan Jing's tone was completely certain, indicating she had absolute confidence that he held the Holy City slot.
"No need to be so surprised. In fact, this matter has long since spread among the super guilds," Xuan Jing smiled faintly. "I trust you haven't forgotten the person known as Wanshi Wushuang."
"That Wanshi Wushuang, after suffering a great loss at your hands, broadcast your deeds far and wide. He even revealed the long-hidden secret of the Titan Holy City and declared with certainty that you obtained its slot."
"If you don't investigate, you never know. I never imagined Divine Realm held such a sacred ground. Now, many super guilds in Divine Realm have their eyes set on Zero Wing; they simply haven't made contact yet. But it's only a matter of time. Originally, after completing my purchase, I planned to visit White River City personally to pay my respects. Now, all that travel is saved."
Upon hearing Xuan Jing's words, the members of the Holy Temple were stunned into silence.
Even Huan Ji thought he must have misheard.
He hadn't expected Shi Feng to be so formidable, having recently inflicted a major defeat on Wanshi Wushuang of the God's Hall.
The name Wanshi Wushuang of the God's Hall was legendary even to newcomers like him—a figure who could rival Xuan Jing herself. Yet such a prominent person had died at Shi Feng's hands, something almost impossible to believe.
Wilderness combat wasn't the same as duels in the Dark Arena. Wanshi Wushuang might not have been as skilled as Beichen Tianlang, but in the wild, one could use many items and had numerous experts at their side. Eliminating a high-ranking member of a super guild in such conditions was incredibly difficult.
Furthermore, from what Xuan Jing had just said, the items in Shi Feng's possession were coveted by all the major super guilds, even prompting a vice-sect master like her to visit in person.
This was absolutely unprecedented in the Holy Temple's history.
Typically, when dealing with a guild like Zero Wing, sending a mid-level executive as a representative for trade negotiations was already rare. Now, having a core high-ranking member deign to visit personally demonstrated just how much importance the Holy Temple placed on Zero Wing and the Holy City slot.
It left Huan Ji utterly perplexed.
This was merely an up-and-coming guild that had entered the scene in Divine Realm. How could it possibly receive treatment that even first-rate guilds could only look up to? How had they managed all of this?
