As soon as Shifeng finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent.
Nobody had expected Shi Feng to voice his objection. Blue Phoenix and the other Guild upper echelons that supported Phoenix Rain's side, in particular, paled. In contrast, Nine Dragons Emperor's upper echelons couldn't help but laugh.
"It's over …" Blue Phoenix was at a loss for words as she stared at Shifeng.
Although the Great Pavilion Master's successor had been decided, Phoenix Rain could still convene a meeting of the Guild's Elders within ten days after Nine Dragons Emperor assumed the position. As long as more than half of the Guild's Elders agreed that Nine Dragons Emperor wasn't suitable for the position, she could remove him from his position and replace him with a more capable successor.
The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Elders' Meeting was the most important meeting in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. Even the Guild's ordinary upper echelons weren't qualified to attend, much less the Guild's core members.
In reality, Shifeng and the others weren't allowed to attend such an important meeting. However, since they had been invited by the Pavilion Master, everyone knew that they were the Pavilion Master's supporters. Hence, they turned a blind eye and allowed them to listen in.
Now that Ku Rong had decided on his successor, even an upper echelon like Blue Phoenix didn't have the right to object, much less an outsider like Shifeng. Only the two Pavilion Masters and the Guild Elders had the right to object. No one else had the right to do so.
If Shifeng objected, not only would he incur the displeasure of the Guild's Elders, but the Great Pavilion Master would also have a problem with Phoenix Rain. After all, Shifeng was one of Phoenix Rain's supporters. If Phoenix Rain disregarded the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, the Guild's Elders and Great Pavilion Master would have serious doubts about her. Removing Nine Dragons Emperor from his position would be a pipe dream.
"President Hei Yan! This is the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. You are but an outsider. You have no right to raise any objections. If you continue to disrupt the meeting, even if you are a guest of the Phoenix Pavilion Master, we will have no choice but to ask you to leave, "Martial Dragon, who sat beside Nine Dragons Emperor, warned Xiang Shifeng.
Although Martial Dragon's words were a warning to the Shifeng, he also made it clear to the Guild Elders and Great Pavilion Master that the Shifeng were Phoenix Rain's subordinates and that Phoenix Rain's incompetence was the reason for this farce.
In response, Ku Rong frowned slightly, clearly in a foul mood. Meanwhile, the Guild Elders present also began to discuss the situation.
"What does Hei Yan think our Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion is? You've only recently become as strong as a superpower, yet you dare to act so impudently in front of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion! "
"How does Phoenix Rain manage her guild? She even dared to bring such a ridiculous collaborator here. I thought she was a good choice, but it seems that Nine Dragons Emperor is more suitable. "
"I know, right? Nine Dragons Emperor is capable of working with Starlink and War Blood. Even Phoenix Rain can't match up to him."
…
Everyone couldn't help but glance at Phoenix Rain, doubting her abilities. Their evaluation of Nine Dragons Emperor rose significantly. Even Graceful Moonfall, who had been indifferent all this time, couldn't help but glance at Phoenix Rain.
She had thought that Phoenix Rain was an excellent judge of character, but now, she realized that the woman was a complete mess.
Shifeng was a reckless fool. First, he had offended Dragonheart City's various major powers. Then, he had recklessly come to Dragonheart City. Now, he had even incurred the disgust of the Guild Elders. Regardless of how strong he was, it was meaningless to stop him.
However, Shifeng didn't notice the crowd's discussion. On the contrary, he calmly looked at Martial Dragon.
"As everyone knows, Ling Yi is a partner of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. Moreover, we've had a good relationship with the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Phoenix Pavilion Master on Thunder Island. Yet, Ling Yi is displeased with the leader of this meeting. As a partner of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, shouldn't Ling Yi raise an objection?" Shifeng said, chuckling. "If that's the case, Ling Yi will have to reconsider selling 100 Bronze Speedboats to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion."
As Shifeng spoke, the crowd gasped once more.
"What?! 100 Bronze Speedboats?! "
"How is that possible?! Even if the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's naval forces continue to grow, we still have less than 100 Bronze Speedboats! "
Everyone was shocked by Shifeng's claim. It wasn't that they were ignorant, but the number was simply too frightening.
Although the various superpowers had established quite a few fleets, most of them were made up of advanced and ordinary speedboats. Very few had Bronze Speedboats in their fleets. If a fleet had a dozen or so Bronze Speedboats, they'd be considered the top fleets in God's Domain.
Even Starlink and War Blood, which were powerful naval forces, only had 30 or so Bronze Speedboats in their First Fleet. The rest were advanced speedboats.
Not even a Super Guild like Thirteen Thrones could afford an entire fleet of Bronze Speedboats, much less Starlink. After all, considering the average strength of their fleets, they couldn't afford to use all of their Bronze Speedboats in a single fleet.
Unless Thirteen Thrones' members had lost their minds, they couldn't afford to sell their fleet to anyone else.
Bronze Speedboats were the main combat power at sea. One could say that the number of Bronze Speedboats a power possessed determined the strength of a naval power. Meanwhile, the stronger a power was at sea, the more resources it could secure at sea. The more authority it had at sea, the more power it could acquire.
Ku Rong, the Great Pavilion Master, shifted his gaze to Phoenix Rain. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning behind his gaze was obvious.
He wanted to ask her what was going on.
Why hadn't he heard of such an important matter before?
Phoenix Rain was a little confused by the Great Pavilion Master's question. When she looked at Shifeng, she was even more shocked and incredulous than Ku Rong.
She couldn't remember ever negotiating with Shifeng for 100 Bronze Speedboats. If she had, she wouldn't have been in such a passive position.
Fortunately, Phoenix Rain hid her shock well. She quickly hid her shock and revealed an expression that said, "I understand." However, inwardly, she was at a loss. She didn't know what Shifeng was trying to do, and she felt that they had gone overboard this time.
Meanwhile, Nine Dragons Emperor's expression darkened as he stared at Xiang Shifeng in disbelief.
"Impossible! How could Ling Yi possibly have 100 Bronze Speedboats?! " Nine Dragons Emperor instinctively refuted Shi Feng's claim. "If Ling Yi had so many Bronze Speedboats, he would've made a name for himself on Dragonheart Island long ago. You wouldn't lack a Guild Residence in Dragonheart City!"
"That's right. President Hei Yan, your actions are simply shameless. To prevent the Nine Dragons Pavilion Master from becoming the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Great Pavilion Master, you're actually willing to lie," Lu Xingluo said, stepping forward.
Everyone present agreed with Nine Dragons Emperor's words. With so many Bronze Speedboats and a Bronze Sailboat, Ling Yi would've long since become an overlord in the Sea of Death.
"Is that so?" Seeing Nine Dragons Emperor and Lu Xingluo's confident expressions, Shifeng took out an ancient, tattered book from his bag and displayed the book's information on the conference room's virtual screen. "Take a look at this, then."
As the information on the virtual screen was revealed bit by bit, everyone present could not help but gasp in shock.
It was the Bronze Storm Speedboat Design!
