Chapter 556: Xiao Shi’s Breakthrough (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As soon as Xiao Shi finished speaking, the entire dining table instantly fell silent.
Whether it was Zou Xiang and the others or Xiang Zizhen, they all looked at Xiao Shi in a daze. As soon as he arrived, he gave every martial artist a treasure equivalent to his own realm as a greeting gift. Such generosity… was not small at all!
There were millions of martial artists on the entire East Island. If everyone had a treasure, that would mean taking out millions of treasures at once. In particular, these treasures corresponded to each martial artist’s realm.
Although the treasures of the lower three realms were worthless to people at Xiang Zizhen, what he wanted to take out was not only the treasures of the lower three realms, but also the treasures of the intermediate three realms.
The value of treasures in the intermediate three realms was completely incomparable to treasures in the lower three realms.
Especially the Martial Demon Realm treasures! Every single one of them possessed incomparably shocking value.
This shocked Zou Xiang and the others. The other party’s generosity was a huge change from their previous impression of Xiang Zizhen. After all, Rong Sufei had already deliberately created an image for Xiang Zizhen. This would arouse the disgust and dislike of these East Island martial artists.
But when the other party had arrived, he had directly taken out such a huge sum. This shocked them. But compared to Xiang Zizhen, who had just arrived, they definitely trusted Rong Sufei more now, especially since the person who said this was only a lackey beside Xiang Zizhen.
This made them somewhat skeptical of the other party’s words. Zou Xiang laughed dryly. “Sir, are you joking?” On the surface, he was asking Xiao Shi, but he looked at Xiang Zizhen.
Xiang Zizhen also looked at Xiao Shi in a daze. When Xiao Shi turned to look at him, the determination in his gaze made Xiang Zizhen feel puzzled. After receiving Xiao Shi’s gaze, he decisively chose to trust him. His expression was indifferent. He did not respond. Instead, he picked up the wine glass in front of him with a profound expression and took a sip. Even though he did not say anything, his actions clearly expressed his attitude.
This made Zou Xiang take a deep breath. His expression suddenly became solemn. He asked in a low voice. “What does Priest Xiang need us to do?”
In his opinion, There must be a need for them since the other party was willing to give such a huge benefit. And it was definitely a huge demand! They might not have the ability to obtain such benefits.
Xiao Shi said calmly, “1 think I’ve already made it very clear before that this is only a greeting gift from Priest Xiang. I don’t think I need to specifically explain the meaning of a greeting gift, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Xiang and the others’ eyes instantly widened. Their faces were filled with disbelief. Did the other party mean that they could each obtain a treasure equivalent to their own realm without doing anything?
This kind of benefit… was simply unbelievable!
Even Rong Sufei, who had previously satisfied them extremely, had some needs for them while giving them benefits. This was unprecedented not only in the entire Nandou Domain, but also in the entire Imperial Domain.
As a result, Zou Xiang and the others were all adrift. They felt that all of this was extremely unreal. In fact, it was not only Zou Xiang and the others who were shocked. The waves in Xiang Zizhen’s heart were not smaller than theirs, and were even more intense. However, under Xiao Shi’s gaze, he hid the shock in his heart very well and maintained an unfathomable calm appearance.
It was as if everything had been arranged by him, and Xiao Shi was only his messenger now. He didn’t even have to say it. He only needed to drink calmly and just had to maximize his status.
Zou Xiang swallowed his dry throat, his entire voice trembling violently. “Are… are you serious?”
Xiao Shi glanced at him. He played the role of Xiang Zizhen’s trusted subordinate. He said calmly, “Do you think Priest Xiang came here to joke with you? In five days, Priest Xiang will personally hand this greeting gift to you.”
There was a pause. Xiao Shi’s expression suddenly became serious as he stared at Zou Xiang and the others. “Of course, if you can support Priest Xiang, we will naturally give you more treasures. But the support I’m talking about is sincere support. 1 don’t hypocrite sincerity. 1 believe all of you can understand what I mean.”
What Xiao Shi wanted to convey at this moment was very simple. We don’t lack treasures here! We can also give you the benefits Rong Sufei can give you. If Rong Sufei could not give you any benefits, we could still give them!
He would first destroy the image Rong Sufei had built for them earlier and let these martial artists on the east island get to know them again. This was the only way. Only then could Xiang Zizhen regain the support of these martial artists on the East Island.
As for a treasure each person had? Although it was difficult for Xiang Zizhen and even the entire Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, It was not difficult for Xiao Shi. When he decided to implement this plan, he had already thought about it. Later, he only needed to hunt wantonly in this sea area and naturally obtain these treasures.
After all, there were countless huge sea beasts in this vast and huge sea. There was endless prey here! It was enough for him to accumulate enough treasures of various realms in five days.
After the meal ended, Zou Xiang personally brought Xiang Zizhen to his residence. Now, his entire attitude has changed drastically. He no longer felt disdain and disgust for Xiang Zizhen. His position did not change to Xiang Zizhen. After all, the other party had only painted a pancake for them. Before it was concretely implemented, they would not blindly support Xiang Zizhen because of this pancake.
However, this pancake had indeed destroyed the image Rong Sufei had built for Xiang Zizhen. This gave them a new understanding of this newly appointed priest of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
“City Lord… do you think their words are trustworthy?” When Zou Xiang returned, his subordinates asked anxiously.
“It’s hard to say.” Zou Xiang was also a little uncertain. “Such a huge sum of money… is definitely not something ordinary people can easily take out. Moreover, it’s an unconditional gift. But since he dared to say such words in front of so many of us, he shouldn’t go back on his word.”
Zou Xiang knew very well that if the other party was just saying it casually and did not implement it, it would be impossible for him to obtain the support of any martial artist from the East Island.
To shoot oneself in the foot, this shouldn’t happen to a big shot of this level.
“Everything depends on whether he can take out so many treasures in five days!” Zou Xiang said in a deep voice.
“Then… Should we spread this news to all the martial artists on the East Island?” Zou Xiang’s subordinate asked.
“Of course!” Zou Xiang said directly. “If he can really do it, he’s naturally qualified to obtain the support of the martial artists of the East Island. However, if he can’t do it… then he’s not qualified to stay on the East Island! He’s not qualified to stay in the Nandou Domain.”
After Zou Xiang left, only Xiao Shi and Xiang Zizhen were left in the room. Only then did Xiang Zizhen shed his previous unfathomable disguise. He looked at Xiao Shi in shock. “You… you can really do it?”
Xiao Shi nodded. “If you can obtain the hearts of people here with treasures and obtain their support, then you don’t have to worry about the hearts of people. Just leave it to me. You just need to study the refinement of the earth vein.”
Xiang Zizhen took a deep breath. He did not ask Xiao Shi how he could do it. In fact, ever since Xiao Shi took back the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, the other party had already become unfathomable in his eyes. So much so that on the surface, he seemed to be the leader, but in fact, he was relying on Xiao Shi. There were many things he could not handle. He would subconsciously ask Xiao Shi for help. It could be said that after coming to the Imperial Domain, their statuses had already reversed.
“I understand.” Xiang Zizhen nodded..
