Chapter 580: Warning of the Prince (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Because Rong Sufei had refined most of the earth veins on the east island, Xiang Zizhen was very familiar with Rong Sufei’s aura. Previously, when he was refining the earth vein on the east island, he had to dispel the earth vein that Rong Sufei had refined before he could refine it.
After sensing that the person who refined the earth vein of the east island at a terrifying speed was actually Rong Sufei, Xiang Zizhen’s brain seemed to be filled with countless thunderclaps. He was instantly stunned!
All of this was too abnormal. It had completely exceeded his understanding. A strong sense of anxiety rose in Xiang Zizhen’s heart. According to Rong Sufei’s current refining speed, in at most three days, he would be able to complete the refinement of the earth vein on the east island.
Although he did not know the exact reason, Xiang Zizhen could imagine that since the other party could even refine the earth vein on the east island, he could definitely refine the earth vein on the west island.
As such, he did not have much time left! Even if Xiang Zizhen refined at the same time as the other party, his refinement speed was far inferior to Rong Sufei’s.
Under the intense anxiety in his heart, Xiang Zizhen could only look for his master and ask about the situation. According to the rules, anyone above the Martial Demon Realm was not allowed to participate in the competition in Nandou Domain.
However, Xiang Zizhen felt that the current situation at Rong Sufei was too strange. Only a mighty figure like his master could know what had happened. What he wanted now was not for his master to participate. Instead, he wanted to figure out the situation.
When Xiang Zizhen informed Chen Yuan of the situation here, Chen Yuan frowned as well. “Apart from the prince, only the Great Wu Seal can reset the earth vein.” He said in a low voice.
“Great Wu Seal?” Xiang Zizhen was stunned. He knew a little about the Great Wu Seal. However, he did not expect the Great Wu Seal could actually reset the earth vein.
“From the information you’ve provided so far, all of this… matches the characteristics of the Great Wu Seal. Be it resetting the earth vein or accelerating the refinement of the earth vein, only the Great Wu Seal can do it.” Chen Yuan sighed.
He had already realized that all of this was done by the prince behind the scenes. Even though from the beginning, he knew that the prince was completely biased towards the martial pavilion, and hoped that the people from the martial pavilion could advance to the Sage Realm, he did not expect the prince to be so determined!
When Xiang Zizhen had an advantage, the prince directly helped Rong Sufei in secret. He bestowed a Great Wu Seal to assist Rong Sufei in refining the Nandou Domain.
Chen Yuan could also read the hidden intentions of the prince from his actions. The Imperial Prince was warning them to give up as soon as possible and stop doing such meaningless things.
Although this prince looked gentle and elegant on the surface, he was actually a rather domineering person deep down. Since he had decided to give the Nandou Domain to the martial pavilion, no one could go against his will.
The reason why he bestowed the Great Wu Seal to assist Rong Sufei this time round was to ensure that the Nandou Domain had to be refined by Rong Sufei. On the other hand, he was also warning the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Don’t go against my will!
Don’t go against me! The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to n(0)vel(b)(j)(n).
I’m the leader of the Imperial Domain!
1 have the final say in everything in the Imperial Domain.
Xiang Zizhen’s actions in this competition had already caused the prince to be dissatisfied. He felt that Xiang Zizhen was not sensible. Since he knew what he meant, he should follow his instructions and put on a good show, instead of really competing hard here.
If Xiang Zizhen really refined the Nandou Domain, that was equivalent to slapping the prince in the face! It would severely affect the authority of the prince. After all, in the current Great Wu Empire, no one could go against the will of the prince.
Chen Yuan sighed. He said earnestly, “Zizhen, forget it. Every world has its rules. If you want to survive in this world, you have to follow its rules. Although it’s indeed a pity that you can’t advance to the Sage Realm in a short period of time, you will also have other gains.”
Xiang Zizhen’s heart sank. He could tell that his master was hinting at him to give up on the competition. He also understood all the connections behind it. Grievance, anger, frustration, unwillingness, and many other emotions appeared in his mind.
Forget it? Could he just let go of everything he had done over the past few days?
Although Chen Yuan could not see Xiang Zizhen’s expression, he knew that he must be feeling very uncomfortable. As his master, Chen Yuan felt that he was also responsible for not figuring out the thoughts of the prince from the beginning.
With the personality of the prince, since the martial pavilion had already been internally decided, it was naturally impossible for them to really compete. The so-called competition was actually just a cover-up.
Chen Yuan expressed that he would compensate Xiang Zizhen for everything he had done in the Nandou Domain this time. He hinted that if Xiang Zizhen could make a concession at this moment, the prince would not pursue his previous disobedience. He would continue to see him as a hero of the Great Wu Empire.
Xiang Zizhen fell silent. However, he clenched his fists tightly. As a result, many veins bulged on the back of his hand. He could ignore his efforts over the past few days, but he could not ignore Xiao Shi’s efforts over the past few days. He could not ignore the treasures Xiao Shi had taken out to help him.
Even though Chen Yuan had expressed his willingness to bear the responsibility, Xiang Zizhen felt that these were two different things. Apart from the loss of treasures, what Xiang Zizhen could not accept the most was that their efforts were trampled on like this.
Although he was extremely angry and aggrieved, Xiang Zizhen, who had remained rational, knew. Even if he was unwilling to accept it, there was no way to reverse the situation. Under the effect of the Great Wu Seal, it was impossible for him to refine the earth vein faster than Rong Sufei.
There was only a path called “compliance” in front of him!
Chen Yuan had already subtly indicated to him. In the Great Wu Empire, they could only follow the rules and will of the prince. No matter what, he could not go against the prince. The prince could still see him as a hero now. However, if he was stubborn, his merit points were not enough to be a protective talisman.
At this moment, the light in Xiang Zizhen’s eyes completely dimmed.
“The situation doesn’t seem right.” Xiao Shi still did not know what had happened. However, he could vaguely sense the abnormality on the east island. The most obvious was the statue that Xiang Zizhen had built previously. Now, the entire holy statue was enveloped by a layer of gray power. It seemed to be isolated. This caused the enhancement brought about by the holy statue to lose its effect at this moment.
The moment the earth vein on the east island was reset, the holy statue was also sealed by Rong Sufei through the Great Wu Seal. He believed that once this holy statue was useless, the martial artists of the Nandou Domain would no longer continue to support Xiang Zizhen.
Even though the hearts of the people in the Nandou Domain were no longer necessary for Rong Sufei to refine this region, this was his future domain after all. Fie definitely had to think of a way to win back the hearts of the people. However, he could refine it first and slowly manage it later.
After Xiao Shi sensed that something was wrong, he immediately went to find Xiang Zizhen to understand the situation. However, the moment he saw Xiang Zizhen, he was instantly stunned.
Xiang Zizhen seemed to have lost all his energy. He was like a lifeless walking corpse. His eyes were dim as he lowered his head dejectedly and squatted at the side. Xiao Shi had never seen Xiang Zizhen so dispirited. He knew that he was not a weak person.
The situation that Xiang Zizhen presented instantly made Xiao Shi realize that something had happened!
At this moment, Xiang Zizhen also sensed Xiao Shi’s approach. He looked up weakly. After seeing Xiao Shi, intense guilt and pain immediately surged in his eyes.
“What happened?” Xiao Shi asked in a low voice..
