Although judging from the power behind both sides.
The foundation of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect is far beyond what the Martial Arts Pavilion can compare to.
After all, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was a powerful force that had already existed when Emperor Wu was alive. Even though it had suffered a near-destructive blow, its foundation was still strong.
The Wu Pavilion was a force that was established only after Prince Dawu came to power.
In terms of background.
Naturally, it cannot be compared with the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
But this time, Rong Sufei is the designated candidate for Prince Dawu.
Behind him, there is not only Wu Ge.
There is also Prince Dawu!
This enabled him to provide many benefits when operating in Dongdao.
Especially when he learned that Xiang Zizhen would come to compete with him for the Nan Dou area, before leaving, he deliberately offered these Dongdao warriors extremely high conditions.
Then he pretended to be driven away before he could fulfill his wish.
This made the warriors of Dongdao hate Xiang Zizhen even more, thinking that it was because of Xiang Zizhen's arrival that they lost the huge benefits promised by Rong Sufei.
At the same time, this also restricted Xiang Zizhen to the greatest extent.
If Xiang Zi really wants to win over the warriors of Dongdao, he must offer more benefits.
But now Rong Sufei has given an extremely high condition.
This meant that Xiang Zizhen was destined to be unable to offer greater benefits.
Although the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect is far stronger than the Martial Pavilion in terms of foundation.
But this kind of background is more reflected at the high-end level.
For example, Chen Yuan, the newly appointed leader of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Both his strength and qualifications are far superior to Cheng Riyou, the leader of Wu Pavilion.
Another example is the semi-god-level treasure of the religion that was taken back by Xiao Shi this time.
These are incomparable to Wu Ge.
But what they are competing for this time is not at the high-end level.
But it is to win over these middle and low-level warriors.
This involves the issue of resources.
In order to win over these middle and low-level warriors, you have to give them some treasures and resources that are suitable for them.
in this regard.
The Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect itself cannot compare to the Martial Pavilion.
The Wu Pavilion, which is now supported by Prince Dawu, has no shortage of various treasures and resources.
What's more, this time Rong Sufei didn't want to give Xiang Zizhen any chance.
He also promised a huge benefit that even the Wu Pavilion could not offer.
He doesn't need to achieve it anyway.
As long as these warriors from Dongdao take it seriously, it will be fine.
…
When these people, led by Zou Xiang, the lord of Dongdou City, gave Xiang Zizheng some hypocritical flattery and welcome.
He then took Xiang Zizhen to a restaurant in Dongdou City to welcome him.
This time I came with Xiang Zizhen.
It's not just Xiao Shi.
At the same time, there is also a group of elite members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
However, these elite troops only need to follow Xiang Zizhen's orders and do not need to give him any advice.
Xiang Zizhen's status here is definitely far inferior to Xiao Shi's.
Therefore, when they arrived at the restaurant, except Xiao Shi who stayed with Xiang Zizhen, no one else followed.
At the dinner table.
After the two sides had some seemingly friendly chat.
Zou Xiang smiled and got into the topic.
"I wonder what instructions Pastor Xiang has for his visit to East Island this time?"
As soon as his words came out.
The other East Island warriors at the dinner table were all perked up and looked at Xiang Zizheng in unison.
Whether it was Rong Sufei before or Xiang Zizhen now.
Since they are in charge of Dongdao, they must formulate a management system of their own.
This includes how to treat the warriors from Dongdao.
The reason why Rong Sufei is popular here.
A big part of the reason is that the management system he implemented here can bring huge benefits to the warriors here.
So we can gain their support.
To put it bluntly.
What people like Zou Xiang want to know now is how Xiang Zizheng will treat them if he takes charge of Dongdao.
Xiang Zizhen couldn't help but feel worried about this.
When the two sides were chatting before.
Zou Xiang and others had deliberately mentioned the promise Rong Sufei made before leaving.
There was a subtle intention to put the blame on Xiang Zizheng.
This also made Xiang Zizheng realize it.
If the benefits I provide are not as good as those given by Rong Sufei, it will be impossible for me to gain the support and support here.
But given his conditions, he simply couldn't afford to offer so many benefits.
Even if the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect fully supports him in his fight for the saint status, it is impossible to put all the resources on him alone.
After all, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect itself also needs to develop.
The Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect already has many followers and they also need resources.
I definitely won’t be able to obtain any more resources from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
This really gave Xiang Zi a headache.
I felt like no matter what I did, I would never be able to satisfy these East Island warriors.
This is indeed the case.
Before Xiang Zizhen came.
Rong Sufei had already set a trap for him in advance.
As soon as he arrives.
You will inevitably fall into this pit.
With inner hesitation.
Xiang Zizheng subconsciously looked at Xiao Shi beside him.
I found that Xiao Shi looked calm and composed, without any panic.
At the same time, the moment he looked at Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi had already raised his head.
His eyes quickly swept over the group led by Zou Xiang.
Said indifferently.
"Before coming here, Pastor Xiang had already heard that the warriors of your East Island were short of treasures, so Pastor Xiang will give each of your East Island warriors a treasure equal to their own realm as a greeting gift."
As soon as Xiao Shi’s words came out.
The entire dinner table fell into silence in an instant.
Be it Zou Xiang and the others, or Xiang Zizhen, they all stared at Xiao Shi in a daze.
As soon as they arrived, they gave each warrior a treasure equal to their own realm as a gift. Such a generous gesture...
It’s quite big!
You know.
There are millions of warriors in the entire East Island!
If each person has one treasure.
That means taking out millions of treasures at once!
These treasures in particular will correspond to the realm of each warrior.
Although the treasures of the lower three realms are not valuable to people of Xiang Zizheng's level, what he wants to take out include not only the treasures of the lower three realms, but also the treasures of the middle three realms.
The value of the treasures in the middle three realms is simply incomparable to the treasures in the lower three realms.
Especially the treasures from the Wumo Realm!
Each piece has an amazing value!
This made Zou Xiang and others extremely shocked.
This kind of generosity from the other party...
This was a huge subversion of their previous impression of Xiang Zizhen.
After all, Rong Sufei had already intentionally or unintentionally created an image for Xiang Zizheng before.
This caused disgust and aversion among these East Island warriors.
But now the other party has arrived.
Just come up with such a huge move.
This shocked them greatly.
However, compared to Xiang Zizhen who had just arrived, they definitely trust Rong Sufei more now, especially since the person who said this was just a henchman around Xiang Zizhen.
This made them somewhat skeptical about what the other party said.
Zou Xiang gave a dry laugh.
"Are you joking, sir?"
On the surface, he was asking Xiao Shi.
But his eyes were directed towards Xiang Zizheng.
Xiang Zizhen was also staring at Xiao Shi in a daze at this time.
It was not until Xiao Shi turned to look at him that the determination in his eyes made Xiang Zizheng feel confused.
But after receiving Xiao Shi's gaze, he decisively chose to trust.
His expression was calm
He didn't respond, but instead picked up the wine glass in front of him with a profound look and took a sip.
Even though he didn't say anything.
But his actions clearly showed his attitude.
This made Zou Xiang take a deep breath.
His expression suddenly became serious.
Asked in a deep voice.
"What does Pastor Xiang need us to do?"
In his opinion.
The other party is willing to offer such a huge benefit.
There must be a demand for them.
And it is definitely a huge demand!
They may not be able to obtain such benefits.
To this.
Xiao Shi said indifferently.
"I think I have made it very clear before. This is just a greeting gift from Pastor Xiang. I don't need to explain the meaning of a greeting gift, right?"
As soon as his words came out.
Zou Xiang and others' eyes widened instantly.
His face was full of disbelief.
What the other party meant was that they didn't have to do anything and each of them could obtain a treasure equal to their own realm
This benefit...
It's unbelievable!
Even Rong Sufei, who had made them extremely satisfied before, also had demands on them while giving them benefits.
This kind of thing, giving such a huge benefit right away without any request, is unprecedented not only in the entire Nan Dou area, but also in the entire Imperial Domain.
As a result, Zou Xiang and others all looked dazed.
It all feels so unreal.
In fact, it was not just Zou Xiang and the others who were shocked.
The waves stirred in Xiang Zizheng's heart were no less than theirs, and were even more intense.
Just at the signal of Xiao Shi's eyes.
He hid the shock in his heart very well, and maintained an unfathomable and calm appearance.
It seemed as if all this was arranged by him.
Now Xiao Shi is just his mouthpiece.
He didn't even have to say it.
Just drink calmly.
Just pull your own force to the maximum.
Zou Xiang swallowed through his dry throat, his entire voice trembling strongly.
"Really?"
Xiao Shi glanced at him.
He plays the role of Xiang Zizhen's confidant.
Said indifferently.
"Do you think that Pastor Xiang came here specifically to play this kind of joke on you? Five days later, Pastor Xiang will personally hand this gift to you."
Pause.
Xiao Shi's expression suddenly became serious and he stared at Zou Xiang and the others.
"certainly… "
"If you can support Priest Xiang, we will naturally give you more treasures."
"However, the support I'm talking about is genuine support, not just one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. I believe you all understand what I mean."
What Xiao Shi wanted to convey at this moment was very simple.
We have no shortage of treasures here!
We can give you the same benefits that Rong Sufei can give you.
We can still give you the benefits that Rong Sufei can’t!
First, they would break the image that Rong Sufei had previously established for them, and let these warriors from Dongdao get to know them again.
Only in this way...
Only then can Xiang Zizheng regain the support of these warriors in Dongdao.
As for everyone having a treasure
Although it is a difficult thing to do for Xiang Zizhen and even the entire Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
But for Xiao Shi.
It's not difficult to do this.
When he decided to implement this plan, he had already thought about it. Later on, he only needed to hunt in this sea area and he would naturally be able to harvest these treasures.
After all, in this vast sea, there are countless huge sea beasts.
There are endless prey here!
It is enough for me to accumulate sufficient treasures of various realms within five days.
When the dinner was over.
Zou Xiang personally brought Xiang Zizhen to his residence, and now his whole attitude has changed drastically.
I no longer felt any disdain or disgust towards Xiang Zizhen.
certainly.
His position did not shift to Xiang Zizheng. After all, the other party was just painting a pie in the sky for them.
Before it is implemented specifically, they will not blindly support Xiang Zizhen just because of this pie.
But this cake...
It really shattered the image that Rong Sufei had previously created for Xiang Zizheng.
This gave them a new understanding of the newly appointed priest of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
"City Lord... Do you think their words are credible?"
When Zou Xiang came back.
His subordinates asked anxiously.
"It's hard to say..."
Zou Xiang was also a little unsure at this time.
"Such a large sum of money... is definitely not something that ordinary people can easily come up with, and it is an unconditional gift."
"But since he dared to say such words in front of so many of us, he should not break his promise..."
Zou Xiang knew it very well.
If the other party just said it casually and did not follow through.
It will be impossible to gain the support of any East Island warrior in the future.
This is a case of shooting oneself in the foot...
It shouldn't happen to a big shot of this level.
"Everything depends on whether he can come up with so many treasures in five days!"
Zou Xiang said in a deep voice.
"That… "
"Should we spread this matter and inform all the warriors on East Island?"
Zou Xiang's subordinates asked.
"Of course!"
Zou Xiang said directly.
"If he can really do it, he will naturally be qualified to be supported by the warriors of East Island, but if he can't do it... then he has no right to stay in East Island! Stay in the Nandou area."
at the same time.
After Zou Xiang left, when only Xiao Shi and Xiang Zizhen were left in the room, Xiang Zizhen finally took off his previous mysterious disguise.
He looked at Xiao Shi in shock.
"You... you can really do this?"
Xiao Shi nodded.
"If you can win people's hearts and support with the treasure, then you don't need to worry about the people's hearts. Just leave it to me."
"You just need to study the refining of the earth veins carefully."
Xiang Zizhen took a deep breath.
He didn't ask Xiao Shi how he could do it.
In fact, ever since Xiao Shi took back the Eye of the Emperor, the other party had become unfathomable in his eyes.
So much so that now it seems that he is the main one on the surface.
In fact, he was relying on Xiao Shi.
For many things he couldn't handle, he would subconsciously ask Xiao Shi for help.
It can be said that after arriving in the Imperial Domain, the status of the two has been reversed.
"I see."
Xiang Zizheng nodded.
