He did not expect that there was actually such a powerful ace in the hole in Xiao Shi’s hands. As long as he destroyed Rong Sufei’s statue, he could refine the earth vein here and control the east island.
In addition, this holy statue still had a huge use. It could rope in those who had been watching and was indecisive. If the greeting gift he had given previously had only gained less than 10% of the people’s hearts, then the Sage’s statue would definitely make more than 90% of the martial artists here change their stance to him.
It was no exaggeration to say that the holy statue that Xiao Shi had taken out could directly have the effect of making the final decision. This holy statue was one of the items that Xiao Shi had dropped when he killed the Martial Demon Realm sea beasts in the sea.
When Xiao Shi saw this item, he had already realized that this was a key item that could change the situation on the east island. However, he did not take it out immediately. He wondered if he would cause a huge commotion if he took out this item rashly.
After all, not to mention in the Imperial Domain, holy statues were extremely rare even in the entire Tianwu Continent. It was very likely to attract the attention and questions of the higher-ups in the Great Wu Empire.
However, Xiao Shi felt that most people would feel that this holy statue came from the demigod land that sealed the Eye of the Emperor Judgment after seeing them take it out. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
Including the many treasures he had taken out previously, they could all be pushed to the demigod land. No one knew what existed in the demigod land. All they knew was that this demigod land was very high-end and powerful. It could be said that it was reasonable for any treasure to be pushed to this demigod land.
Moreover, Xiao Shi had given these treasures to Xiang Zizhen in advance and Xiang Zizhen had personally taken them out. In everyone’s eyes, the person who had entered the demigod land back then was also Xiang Zizhen. Therefore, no one would pay attention to Xiao Shi.
Even if there were higher-ups from the Great Wu Empire asking questions, they would ask Xiang Zizhen. And Xiang Zizhen would naturally push the origins of the holy statue to the land of demigods.
After all, Xiang Zizhen also felt that the many treasures Xiao Shi had taken out this time, including the holy statue, originated from the land of the demigod.
When Zou Xiang announced that Xiang Zizhen was preparing to build a holy statue on the east island, the entire East Island was in a frenzy because of this. The greeting gifts Xiao Shi had given a few days ago had already shocked these martial artists of the East Island.
As the news of the establishment of the holy statue was out, every martial artist on the East Island fell into excitement and ecstasy. They knew very well the significance of holy statues. This was definitely not something that Rong Sufei’s statue could compare to.
It was impossible for anyone to object at this time. If anyone dared to object, they would definitely be rejected by all the martial artists in the East Island. Now, everyone was looking forward to it.
As long as Xiang Zizhen established the holy statue, they would immediately change their stance and fully support him.
Rong Sufei, who was on the West Island, seemed to have turned into a clay statue. He no longer had any life or brilliance. When he learned that Xiang Zizhen was really going to build a holy statue on the east island, he was completely stunned.
His greatest confidence and reliance was the statue he had built on the east island. As long as this statue did not fall, he always had the advantage. However, he never expected Xiang Zizhen’s gains from the demigod land to include a holy statue.
Now that this holy statue had appeared, all his plans and advantages had collapsed. He could imagine that once Xiang Zizhen established a holy statue on the East Island, the hearts of the entire East Island would definitely lean towards Xiang Zizhen.
Even the West Island would be greatly affected. The martial artists on the West Island would also choose this person who had many treasures and could take out the holy statue. No one would choose Rong Sufei.
“1… I lost.” Rong Sufei lowered his head. Originally, in his eyes, this should have been a situation where victory was guaranteed. He did not expect Xiang Zizhen to turn the situation around so easily. His fists were clenched. A strong sense of unwillingness and bitterness rose in his heart.
Originally, he was prepared to make some countermeasures against the greeting gifts given by Xiang Zizhen to prevent the martial artists of the East Island from changing their stance. However, before he could take action, Xiang Zizhen immediately did something even bigger.
Rong Sufei knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat Xiang Zizhen alone. He took a deep breath. He took out a voice transmission jade slip. He reported the current situation in detail to his master, the Martial Pavilion Master.
Now, only his master had the ability to help him reverse the situation. It was definitely impossible for him to rely on himself.
When Cheng Riyou received Rong Sufei’s voice transmission, His brows furrowed. He did not expect Xiang Zizhen had actually obtained such a huge harvest in the land of demigods. He could even take out a rare item like the holy statue.
“This matter is indeed a little troublesome.” Cheng Riyou thought for a moment. He felt that it was indeed very difficult to reverse the current situation. After all, even their martial pavilion could not take out something like a holy statue. It was no longer feasible to reverse the situation by taking out better items. “There’s only one way to change the situation now!”
A sharp light flashed in Cheng Riyou’s eyes. Back then, the prince had set a rule. In the competition between Xiang Zizhen and Rong Sufei, people above the Martial Demon Realm were not allowed to participate. If he wanted to reverse the situation now, he had to do it himself!
Thinking of this, Cheng Riyou immediately went to meet the prince. He felt that with the Imperial Prince’s position, he might have a chance to get the Imperial Prince to agree to his entry. After all, what the prince wanted to see was Rong Sufei advancing to the Sage Realm, not Xiang Zizhen.
However, He had to hide his entrance this time. He could not be discovered by the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Three days later, Xiang Zizhen and Xiao Shi stood under Rong Sufei’s huge statue. Behind him stood a group of martial artists from the East Island. These East Island martial artists looked at Xiang Zizhen with strong anticipation and urgency.
Before that, Rong Sufei’s statue was like a holy object in their eyes. Whoever touched this statue, they would fight to the death with whoever it was. But now, they felt that this statue was extremely irksome. They even hoped that Xiang Zizhen could destroy this statue as soon as possible and build a holy statue as soon as possible.
“I’ve said it before. I’ll make this statue disappear within ten days!” Xiao Shi stood beside Xiang Zizhen and said softly. That was what he had said when he first arrived at Nandou Domain.
Xiang Zizhen nodded. He was very shocked. Although he had never doubted Xiao Shi’s ability, he did not expect him to really be able to destroy Rong Sufei’s statue in such a short period of time.
As long as this statue fell, the East Island was basically in his hands. Even the West Island would be greatly affected. It could be said that he had almost won half of the battle.
Xiang Zizhen took a deep breath.
Under everyone’s gaze, he directly soared into the sky. The moment he rushed into the sky, a long spear suddenly appeared in his hand. He raised his spear and it pierced straight into the space between the eyebrows of Rong Sufei’s statue. Immediately, cracks spread from the forehead of Rong Sufei’s statue at a speed visible to the naked eye, extending the entire statue.
Then, with a loud bang, the statue exploded and collapsed. With Xiang Zizhen’s strength, it was not difficult to destroy this statue. The difficult thing was to obtain the agreement of these East Island martial artists. None of the East Island martial artists who had witnessed all of this felt pity for the shattering of Rong Sufei’s statue.
There were only cheers.
When Xiang Zizhen destroyed Rong Sufei’s statue, he then flipped his hand and took out a brand new statue..
