Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Back then, after his demon avatar used the Mirror of Change to transform into the appearance of Wang Xiao, he could no longer use any treasures or pills that could change his body or appearance.
In other words, his appearance had already been fixed. No matter what methods were used, they could no longer be changed. Even the Twin Face Spectrum could only change Xiao Shi’s appearance and could not make the demon avatar change into Xiao Shi’s appearance.
“That’s fine too.” Xiao Shi knew the key this time was that he had to have the appearance of Wang Xiao. Even if the demon avatar could not change his appearance, it would not affect him much. After all, Xiao Shi did not plan to let his demon avatar appear in front of others next. He had other arrangements for his demon avatar.
“With the number of treasures 1 currently have, not to mention winning over the martial artists of the East Island, even winning over the martial artists of the entire Nandou Domain is not a problem.”
Xiao Shi was full of confidence. Even the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect could not take out these tens of millions of treasures. It could be said that Xiao Shi had abundant treasures and resources comparable to a huge faction alone. There was less than a day left until the deadline he had set back then.
Xiao Shi did not continue hunting. He rushed all the way back to the East Island.
The sun was high in the sky.
Located in Dong Dou City on the East Island, the group led by City Lord Zou Xiang was nervous and looked expectantly at Xiang Zizhen, who was sitting upright above. He was extremely concerned about whether Xiang Zizhen could give him this generous meeting gift according to the promise five days ago.
At this moment, Xiang Zizhen was sitting above. He still maintained that calm attitude. However, under this calm appearance, there was a burning and restless heart hidden. Thinking of how Xiao Shi had confidently told him that it was not a big problem a few hours ago and given him many treasures, Xiang Zizhen was still in a daze. His head was buzzing. It felt like a dream.
He had never doubted Xiao Shi’s ability and knew that if Xiao Shi dared to say such a thing back then, he would definitely be able to do it. However, when Xiao Shi really took out so many treasures, he could not help but feel extremely shocked and in disbelief.
And when he thought of Xiao Shi’s previous instructions, he still maintained the persona he should have, although his heart was incomparably shocked. On the surface, he was as stable as an old dog.
Under the nervous and expectant gazes of the people below, Xiao Shi, who was standing beside Xiang Zizhen and acting as his subordinate, said, “Five days ago, Priest Xiang said that he would give every martial artist on the East Island a treasure equivalent to their realm as a greeting gift. City Lord Zou, have you announced this matter on the East Island?”
Zou Xiang replied with a smile. “Since Priest Xiang is so generous, I’ve already announced it to the East Island at the first moment. I’ve let every martial artist on the East Island know about Priest Xiang’s kindness and magnanimity.”
Xiao Shi nodded in satisfaction. “Very well. Then please continue to announce that from today onwards, every martial artist of the East Island can come to Priest Xiang to receive this greeting gift.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. From Xiao Shi’s words, it was not difficult for them to tell that Xiang Zizhen wanted to fulfill his promise. This made their hearts tremble and ecstasy.
However, what surprised them was that Xiang Zizhen actually asked these East Island’s martial artists to come and collect them on their own. He did not distribute these treasures to them and let them distribute them to every East Island martial artist.
After all, the process of letting these martial artists from the East Island collect it personally would be very cumbersome. It would also take a longer time. If he gave them the treasures and let them distribute them to the martial artists on the east island, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient in the province.
However, on careful thought, they quickly understood Xiang Zizhen’s intentions. Firstly, Xiang Zizhen did not trust them to begin with. If he gave them these treasures and they embezzled some in private, it would also be very difficult for Xiang Zizhen to investigate so clearly.
Secondly, what Xiang Zizhen needed the most now was people’s support. If they were to distribute these treasures to the martial artists of the East Island on his behalf, the hearts of the people they could obtain would definitely be far inferior to Xiang Zizhen personally giving these treasures to every martial artist of the East Island.
Thirdly, Xiang Zizhen wanted to use this move to pressure his competitor, Rong Sufei! The longer he lasted in this operation, the more attention he received. At that time, not only would the martial artists of the East Island pay attention, the martial artists on the West Island would also know about this.
When they learned that the martial artists of the East Island actually had such benefits, if Rong Sufei did not take action, some of the martial artists of the West Island would definitely side with Xiang Zizhen.
They would feel that following Xiang Zizhen would bring them greater benefits and a better future. This was to disturb the hearts of the people on the West Island.
“Of course.” Xiao Shi looked at everyone below. “Priest Xiang will give you the first meeting gift.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Zizhen cooperated and took out a Martial Demon-level treasure in front of everyone. It was a seal. In terms of effect, it was far inferior to the ten Martial Demon-level items that Xiao Shi had dropped at the beginning. Among all the Martial Demon-level items, this item could only be considered an ordinary Martial Demon-level item.
However, even ordinary ATartial Demon-level items were shocking treasures in everyone’s eyes. After all, Martial Demon-level items were extremely rare to begin with. Any Martial Demon-level item was extremely valuable in their eyes.
After Xiang Zizhen took out the Martial Demon-level seal, his expression was calm, as if what he took out was just an ordinary thing. Fie casually threw the seal to Zou Xiang, who was in the lead.
Zou Xiang received it with trembling hands. His entire mind was in turmoil. Before that, he did not think that Xiang Zizhen could take out so many treasures. He felt that the other party must have other countermeasures. But now, this huge treasure that was extremely precious in his eyes was given away so casually. His entire heart could not help but beat wildly. The others also looked envious and shocked.
After that, Xiang Zizhen continued to take out treasures that corresponded to everyone’s realm, and ensured that everyone had one. At this moment, be it Xiang Zizhen or Xiao Shi, they could clearly feel the change in these people’s attitudes towards them.
Xiao Shi took this opportunity to say to everyone. “These are only Priest Xiang’s greeting gifts, not including the benefits of supporting Priest Xiang. If you can support Priest Xiang, there will be even greater benefits.”
Everyone held their breaths. Currently, their position is still with Rong Sufei. Back then, Rong Sufei’s operation on the East Island had already won the hearts of most people on the entire East Island. They were among them.
When they heard Xiao Shi’s words, their originally firm stand was immediately shaken.
“I… Can 1 ask, if I support Priest Xiang now, what kind of benefits will there be?” One of Zou Xiang’s Martial Soul Realm subordinates could not help but ask.
Xiao Shi glanced at him. “First, Priest Xiang will give you an additional Martial Soul Realm treasure. After Priest Xiang takes control of the East Island, you will continue to obtain a Martial Soul Realm treasure. When Priest Xiang refines the entire Nandou Domain, you will still obtain another Martial Soul Realm treasure.
“In other words, as long as you support Priest Xiang, you can at least obtain three Martial Soul Realm treasures. If your cultivation makes a breakthrough during this period of time, such as breaking through from the Martial Soul Realm to the Martial Demon Realm, what Priest Xiang will give you will be a Martial Demon Realm treasure.
“Apart from that, Priest Xiang will also issue some decrees and measures after he takes charge of the East Island and the Nandou Domain. The details can’t be revealed for the time being, but I can tell you with certainty that the sooner you support Priest Xiang, the more benefits you will receive.”
As soon as Xiao Shi finished speaking, everyone’s breathing instantly became hurried..
