No way! He had already made up his mind. He had to help Xiang Zizhen obtain this Sage spot! No one could take away what belonged to him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to help you. This Sage spot will definitely be ours.” Xiao Shi said seriously.
Xiang Zizhen nodded. His strength and cultivation were clearly far stronger than Xiao Shi’s, but for some reason, the other party’s words gave him immense confidence. It made him feel like he had been injected with a heart-strengthening drug. Even though he was at a huge disadvantage, he suddenly had sufficient confidence.
Soon, the huge flying ship that belonged to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect began to descend. They directly entered the East Island of the Nandou Domain. The moment they entered the East Island, a huge statue appeared in Xiao Shi and Xiang Zizhen’s vision.
It was the statue of a handsome young man. His eyebrows were very long. Even though he was a statue, his face revealed a flamboyant and arrogant attitude. There was also an aura that only existed on geniuses.
The entire statue was incomparably huge. It stood on the ground with the sky above its head. The clouds were only thin around its waist. It required a martial artist to look at it with all their might to barely see it.
The moment they saw this statue, Xiao Shi and Xiang Zizhen’s expressions had already darkened.
The statue before them was their competitor this time. The genius from the martial pavilion, Rong Sufei! Usually, only after completing the domain refinement and becoming a Sage would they build their own statues in their territory and let the martial artists in their territory worship them.
Rong Sufei had yet to refine Nandou Domain, but he had already built his statue on the east island. His intentions were self-evident. This was an opening gambit for Xiang Zizhen.
“I want this Nandou Domain. It’s useless no matter how much effort you put in.” At the same time, he deliberately revealed a piece of information to Xiang Zizhen.
The current Rong Sufei could be said to be popular in the entire East Island. After all, without the approval of the martial artists on the east island, he would not be able to build this statue.
The moment he saw this statue, be it Xiang Zizhen or Xiao Shi, they had the urge to destroy this statue with a punch. If they allowed this statue to remain here, it would not only be a form of mockery for Xiang Zizhen, but it would also allow Rong Sufei’s will to continue existing here.
It could be said that as long as this statue stayed here, it was impossible for Xiang Zizhen to control the East Island!
Although he was filled with anger, Xiang Zizhen knew that he really could not destroy this statue directly now. Once he destroyed this statue at all costs, he would not be able to win the hearts of the people on the East Island.
Usually, the statues apart from being a symbol of status, there were also other uses. For example, it would increase the cultivation of the martial artists on the East Island and suppress some bad luck.
Different statues often had different effects. However, they could bring benefits to the martial artists in this area. If he destroyed this statue now, the first to be injured were the martial artists on the east island. Naturally, it would be very difficult to obtain their support.
Rong Sufei had obviously taken a fancy to this. He was certain that Xiang Zizhen would not dare to destroy his statue. That was why he dared to build his statue on the east island with great fanfare.
Xiang Zizhen took a deep breath. He suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Xiao Shi and asked Xiao Shi for his opinion. Xiao Shi stared at the statue in front of him with a deep gaze, but there was a cold glint in his eyes. “In ten days, I’ll make it disappear!”
Although he also wanted to destroy this statue at this moment, he knew that in this situation, he could not be brave. He needed to endure it. After all, Xiang Zizhen was currently at a disadvantage in all aspects. If he did such a thing that would anger everyone, it would definitely be extremely disadvantageous to Xiang Zizhen.
They definitely could not let this statue continue to exist here. It needed to be destroyed as soon as possible.
Soon, their flying ship landed in the main city of the East Island, Dong Dou City. The entire Dong Dou City was very prosperous and huge. However, when they arrived, they did not see the person who came to welcome them. This made Xiao Shi and Xiang Zizhen, who were already filled with anger, even angrier.
Under normal circumstances, Xiang Zizhen was the ruler of the East Island, the City Lord of Dong Dou City had to personally welcome him. However, after he arrived, he did not see a single person.
It was two hours later that a fat bald old man with a big belly brought a group of people over. Although it looked a little ordinary, this old man’s cultivation had already reached the Martial Demon Realm. It was the City Lord of Dong Dou City.
“Zou Xiang pays his respects to Lord Priest.” He took the lead to greet Xiang Zizhen respectfully. Although his expression was respectful, his eyes were filled with displeasure and disdain. The people behind him were the same.
Xiang Zizhen looked expressionlessly at the respectful City Lord, Zou Xiang. From the fact that the other party deliberately came late to welcome him, he could tell how these people treated him. No matter how respectful they were on the surface, deep down, they disliked and hated him.
They did not care what Xiang Zizhen had done for the Great Wu Empire. They only cared about their own benefits and interests. Even though Xiang Zizhen’s contribution this time would make the entire Great Wu Empire stronger, this would not bring them any improvement to the lower and intermediate-level people.
At least at the current stage, they will remain as they are, and nothing will change.
Which meant, in the eyes of these “civilians” of the Great Wu Empire, the contributions that Xiang Zizhen had made were at most enough to make them praise him. Impressive! Amazing! They would not support Xiang Zizhen just because of his contribution.
Before Xiang Zizhen arrived, Rong Sufei had already been operating on the east island for a period of time. It brought many benefits to the martial artists here and won the support of these martial artists.
Now that Rong Sufei had left, they instantly lost these benefits. Coupled with the fact that Rong Sufei had deliberately created the intention of being forcefully chased away before he left, This made these martial artists feel indignant about Rong Sufei being “chased away”.
In addition, Rong Sufei had done some operations before he left. This caused the martial artists on the east island to have an extremely poor impression of Xiang Zizhen.
Xiang Zizhen had a feeling, if he were to destroy Rong Sufei’s statue now, the martial artists of the East Island would probably instantly riot. Not to mention obtaining their support, the two sides would probably instantly erupt into an irreconcilable conflict.
This made Xiang Zizhen frown. He felt that he could not even be bothered about the problem of these people coming to welcome him late. Otherwise, it would make their impression of him worse.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He treated these people amiably.
Xiao Shi remained silent. Now, they were very passive. After all, the other party had the initiative. Before they came, he had already established a very bad image for them. As a result, as soon as they arrived, they were resisted by the martial artists on the east island.
If they expressed any dissatisfaction because of the resistance of these martial artists, the conflict between the two sides would immediately increase. At that time, it would be even more difficult to end it.
Actually, it was not difficult to resolve this situation. As long as they gave these martial artists from the East Island more benefits and changed their opinions, they would naturally be able to obtain their support.
No matter what, these martial artists were very realistic. They would support whoever gave the most benefits. However, Rong Sufei definitely knew this logic. Since he dared to play this trick, this meant that he had given a lot of benefits previously and was certain that Xiang Zizhen would definitely not give him more benefits than him.
This was his winning point!
