• Shi Feng spotted more than seven players watching the restaurant and suspected the Blackwater Consortium was preparing another attack on Bai Qingxue.

Shi Feng explained the threat Blackwater Consortium posed as it took control of Snake of the Void, while Bai Qingxue planned to leave the Star-Moon Kingdom and sell her assets. After seeing the value of her land, Shi Feng faced the problem of whether Zero Wing could afford to buy it.

• Bai Qingxue observed the Level 38 and 39 experts watching the building and realized Blackwater Consortium could ambush her if she left.
• Shi Feng told Bai Qingxue she would be safe inside and explained that Blackwater Consortium had acquired Snake of the Void and was committing its resources to God's Domain.
• Bai Qingxue said she would leave Snake of the Void, offered raw materials at a discount, and proposed selling her land in the Star-Moon Kingdom and other regions.
• Bai Qingxue sent Shi Feng a list of sixteen plots, and he calculated that buying them all would cost roughly 80,000 Gold, more than Zero Wing could readily afford.

Bai Qingxue learned that the Blackwater Consortium had removed her as Guild Leader and devastated the God-Slaying Army, threatening her plans to rebuild the Snake of the Void. Shi Feng offered her a stake in Zero Wing and a new legion under her command, and Bai Qingxue agreed on the condition that he accept one demand.

• Bai Qingxue accepted Shi Feng’s offer but said he first had to agree to one condition.

Bai Qingxue asked Zero Wing Guild to purchase Snake of the Void’s expert training center, explaining that Blackwater Consortium’s takeover made it an unusually good opportunity. Shi Feng saw how much the center could help Zero Wing but, worried about the price, left to contact Water Rose.

• Shi Feng invited Bai Qingxue to name her conditions for bringing Snake of the Void’s elites and experts to Zero Wing Guild.
• Bai Qingxue explained that Snake of the Void’s expert-training system was jointly owned by several companies and asked Zero Wing to purchase the training center.
• Shi Feng said Zero Wing could not afford the purchase or even the center’s maintenance costs, but Bai Qingxue offered to negotiate a lower price with the other owners.
• Bai Qingxue warned that Blackwater Consortium’s takeover meant the companies would likely sell soon, before another consortium bought the center.
• Shi Feng left to contact Water Rose and see whether Zero Wing could raise the money.

Shi Feng offered Water Rose a way to channel her family's investment interest into cooperation with Zero Wing by leasing land in Stone Forest Town. Water Rose doubted anyone would pay the required price until Shi Feng showed her a City Building Order for the Star-Moon Kingdom.

• Water Rose asked Shi Feng what had happened while she managed applications for Zero Wing's branch guild.
• Shi Feng asked whether Water Rose's family and other corporations still wanted to invest in Zero Wing, and she confirmed they had been pressing her about it.
• Shi Feng proposed leasing town land to ten partners, each of whom would need to invest one billion Credit Points.
• Water Rose warned that Stone Forest Town's land would not justify such a steep price, even with its high player traffic.
• Shi Feng showed Water Rose a City Building Order that allowed its holder to choose a location in the Star-Moon Kingdom and build a city.

Shi Feng revealed Zero Wing's City-Building Order to Water Rose and planned to raise funds by offering corporations priority access to land in the future city. He brought Bai Qingxue and the Snake of the Void Legion into Zero Wing, took ownership of her sixteen plots, and then traveled to Emerald City as rival guilds reacted to the news.

• Shi Feng showed Water Rose the City-Building Order and instructed her to find corporations willing to sign confidentiality agreements and invest in Zero Wing's new city.

• Shi Feng noticed that one of Bai Qingxue's Black Dragon Empire plots was in Emerald City and traveled there to secure a source of emeralds.
• Qi Yitao was stunned when he learned that Bai Qingxue's land had become Zero Wing's property, as guilds across the Star-Moon Kingdom erupted over the news.

• Shi Feng recalled that Beginner Holy Spirit Potions could protect players from Whitebone Town’s curse and saw an opportunity to earn money from its rich Mithril Ore deposits.

Shi Feng detected a lost Seven Treasure in Lakeheart City’s noble district and rode toward it on the Magic Flame War Tiger. Meanwhile, Red Fire Fox sought Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion’s help against Zero Wing, but Dragon Blood’s overwhelming strength—and the calm presence of another woman—left him stunned.

The two groups faced an uneasy reunion as Shi Feng’s Golden Sacred Mark detected the Seven Treasures inside the estate.

• Qin Muyun told Dragon Blood and Red Fire Fox that Zero Wing’s growth in Lakeheart City threatened the Black Dragon Empire and asked the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion to consider her proposal.

• Dragon Blood assigned the Crimson Legion to target Zero Wing, with Ling Shu commanding the operation and Red City Guild providing support.
• Shi Feng rode the Magic Flame War Tiger to a luxurious estate in Lakeheart City, where his Golden Sacred Mark detected the Seven Treasures inside.
• Shi Feng found Siyu Qingxuan, Green Bamboo, Gunshot, Wind Death, Yan Qiu, and others gathered at the estate, and Wind Death asked whether Shi Feng had come to do a quest.

Yan Qiu recommended that Shi Feng join Wind God's Spear's mission, but Duo Tianfeng declined because the team had already been chosen and the mission was at its final stage. After Dao Yifan insulted Shi Feng, Siyu Qingxuan and Green Bamboo withdrew from the operation, leaving Dao Yifan to apologize.

• As the level 50 elites overwhelmed the front line, Shi Feng's attack wiped out a large group of them and stunned the team.

• Duo Tianfeng and Wind God's Spear watched in shock as Shi Feng killed nearly a thousand undead fanatics with one sword swing.

• Wind God's Spear followed Shi Feng forward, stunned by his strength.

Shi Feng led Wind God's Spear through the Undead Fanatics to the temple, using the Heart of Icarus to accumulate enough Life Force to upgrade it to Epic rank.
