Chapter 555: Xiao Shi’s Breakthrough (1)

Although from the foundation of the factions behind both sides, the foundation of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was far from what the martial pavilion could compare to.

After all, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was a powerful faction that had already existed when the Martial Emperor was still alive. Even though it had suffered a near-destructive blow back then, its foundation was still strong.

As for the martial pavilion, it was only a faction established after the prince took over. In terms of foundation, it was naturally incomparable to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

However, Rong Sufei was the chosen candidate of the prince this time. Behind him was not only the martial pavilion, there was also the Prince of the Great Wu! This allowed him to provide many benefits when operating on the east island.

Especially when he found out that Xiang Zizhen would really come to compete with him for this Nandou Domain, he deliberately gave these East Island martial artists an extremely high condition before he left.

Then, he pretended to be chased away before he could realize it. This made the martial artists on the east island hate Xiang Zizhen even more. They felt that it was because of Xiang Zizhen’s arrival that they had lost the huge benefits Rong Sufei had promised.

This limited Xiang Zizhen to the greatest extent. If Xiang Zizhen wanted to win over the martial artists of the East Island, he had to offer more benefits.

However, Rong Sufei had already given an extremely high condition. This meant that Xiang Zizhen was destined to not be able to provide greater benefits.

Although the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was far stronger than the martial pavilion in terms of foundation, this foundation was mostly reflected at the high-end level. For example, the newly appointed sect master of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, Chen Yuan. Be it his strength or qualifications, he was far stronger than the Martial Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Cheng Riyou. Another example was the demiG.o.d-level treasure that Xiao Shi had taken back this time.

These were things that the martial pavilion could not compare to. However, this time, they were not competing on the high-end level. Instead, it was to win over these intermediate and low-level martial artists.

This involved resources. If he wanted to rope in these intermediate and low-level martial artists, he had to give them some treasures and resources that were suitable for them.

The Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was inferior to the martial pavilion to begin with. Now that the Martial Pavilion was supported by the prince, it did not lack all kinds of treasures and resources.

Furthermore, Rong Sufei did not give Xiang Zizhen a chance this time. He even promised a huge benefit that even the martial pavilion could not provide. In any case, he did not need to realize it.

As long as these martial artists on the east island took it seriously, it was fine.

When these people led by the City Lord of Dong Dou City, Zou Xiang, praised and welcomed Xiang Zizhen hypocritically, He brought Xiang Zizhen to a restaurant in Dong Dou City to welcome him.

This time, Xiao Shi was not the only one who came with Xiang Zizhen. There was also a group of elites from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. However, these elites only needed to do things according to Xiang Zizhen’s instructions. There was no need to give him any advice.

In terms of status, Xiang Zizhen was definitely far inferior to Xiao Shi. Therefore, when they arrived at the restaurant, apart from Xiao Shi accompanying Xiang Zizhen, no one else followed.

After the two of them had a friendly chat at the dining table, Zou Xiang smiled and entered the main topic. “I wonder if Priest Xiang has any instructions for coming to the eastern island this time?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other East Island martial artists at the dining table could not help but perk up and look at Xiang Zizhen in unison.

Be it Rong Sufei from before or the current Xiang Zizhen, since they were in charge of the East Island, they had to develop a management system that belonged to them. It included how to treat the martial artists on the east island.

The reason why Rong Sufei was able to gain the hearts of the people here. A large part of the reason was that the management system he implemented here could bring huge benefits to the martial artists here. Therefore, he could obtain their support.

To put it bluntly, what Zou Xiang and the others wanted to know now was how Xiang Zizhen would treat them when he took over the east island.

Xiang Zizhen could not help but worry about this. While the two of them were chatting, Zou Xiang and the others had already deliberately mentioned the promise Rong Sufei had given before he left. He vaguely wanted to blame this on Xiang Zizhen.

This also made Xiang Zizhen realize that if the benefits he gave were not as good as Rong Sufei, he would definitely not be able to gain support here. However, with his conditions, he did not have the ability to give so many benefits. Even if the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect fully supported him in the compet.i.tion for the Sage spot, it was impossible for them to invest all their resources on him alone.

After all, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect needed to develop itself. There were many disciples in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and they also needed resources. He would definitely not be able to obtain resources from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

This gave Xiang Zizhen a headache. He had a feeling that no matter what he did, he was destined to not be able to satisfy these East Island martial artists.

And that was indeed the case. Before Xiang Zizhen came, Rong Sufei had already dug a hole for him in advance. As long as he arrived, he would definitely fall into this pit.

He hesitated in his heart. Xiang Zizhen subconsciously looked at Xiao Shi. He realized that Xiao Shi’s expression was calm and composed without any panic. When he looked at Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi had already looked up. His gaze quickly swept across the crowd led by Zou Xiang. He said calmly, “Before coming, Priest Xiang had already heard that your East Island’s martial artists lack treasures. Therefore, Priest Xiang will give every East Island’s martial artist a treasure equivalent to their realm as a greeting gift..”
