Chapter 544 - 544: The Fourth Emperor Equipment! (2)
“If such contributions are still restricted by the so-called reward and punishment system, it will be a little disappointing.”
The two of them were at loggerheads. No one backed down. They were all determined to obtain the Sage quota this time. The prince maintained a gentle smile from the beginning to the end. No one could tell what he was thinking.
After the two sides exchanged blows, the prince looked at Xiang Zizhen. “Minister Xiang, do you have any areas you like?”
Xiang Zizhen nodded. “Yes. I want the Nandou Domain.”
Since both sides had made it clear, Xiang Zizhen would not hide it either. He openly expressed that he wanted to refine the Nandou Domain.
Cheng Riyou said indifferently. “You’ve just arrived at the Imperial Domain and might not know yet. Half a year ago, His Highness had already bestowed the Nandou Domain to someone else. The Nandou Domain already has an owner, so you should choose another domain.”
Chen Yuan immediately said, “As long as one hasn’t finished refining any area, it’s not considered an owner. Zizhen, you can choose the Nandou Domain.”
Cheng Riyou sneered. “Priest Chen, oh, no, 1 should call you Sect Master Chen now. Could it be that you want His Highness to go back on his word?”
The two of them started another round of confrontation. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the two of them did not give in to each other, but they were actually expressing their attitude to the prince. It meant that none of them was willing to back down.
As long as the prince knew their attitude, the rest was up to the prince to decide.
The prince pondered for a moment. Then, he made a decision. “Since both of you want the Nandou Domain, let’s be fair. Both of you will go to the Nandou Domain to refine it. In the end, the area will belong to whoever refines the Nandou Domain.
“However, both of you have to abide by a treaty. Anyone above the Martial Demon Realm is not allowed to participate. If one party violates it, it’s equivalent to giving up automatically. My dear ministers, what do you think?” As soon as the prince finished speaking, Chen Yuan frowned imperceptibly. Although on the surface, the prince’s decision seemed very fair and he was not biased, it was actually beneficial to the martial pavilion.
After all, the martial pavilion had already refined the Nandou Domain for half a year. Xiang Zizhen had only refined it at this time. In terms of progress, he was already behind the other party.
The prince naturally knew about this situation. However, he did not give Xiang Zizhen any preferential treatment because of this. He even forbade Chen Yuan from interfering.
It was obvious that the prince was still more inclined to the martial pavilion. However, his actions were not openly biased. Instead, he had covered it up on the surface, making it seem very fair. In fact, Chen Yuan had already sensed it a long time ago.
The prince’s attitude towards the martial pavilion was clearly superior to their Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. However, when he thought about how the martial pavilion was established by the prince,
Chen Yuan could understand the preferential treatment given to them. Moreover, the prince’s favoritism towards the Martial Pavilion was more of a form of support. He wanted to support a faction comparable to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in the Great Wu Empire.
But now, Chen Yuan felt that the prince had already vaguely changed from the initial support to protection. There was also a hint of suppression towards their Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
“… This is because we now have a demigod-level taboo treasure, causing the situation of the two factions that the prince wants to check and balance each other to fail. Therefore, he wants to suppress us to a certain extent so that we can continue to form a check and balance situation with the martial pavilion?”
It was only for a moment, and Chen Yuan understood everything. To the prince, what he wanted to see the most was the situation where the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and the martial pavilion kept each other in check.
This was also one of the reasons why he founded the Martial Pavilion back then. This was to prevent the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect from monopolizing the world. Now that the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had a demigod-level forbidden treasure, they would naturally be more inclined to the martial pavilion in terms of the Sage quota.
Only in this way would the two factions reach a balance as much as possible.
Chen Yuan felt even more helpless. He could argue with Cheng Riyou in terms of words, but against the prince, he could not say anything. If he directly expressed his disagreement, on the one hand, he would be going against the prince. On the other hand, it would also make the prince more suspicious of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
So Chen Yuan could only nod. He expressed that he would abide by the prince’s arrangements.
Evil Beast Mountain.
Only half of the Life Spirit General’s entire Life Spirit was left. There was only one emotion left on the remaining half of his face.
Terror!!
Extreme fear!!
This fear was not only because of the strength of Xiao Shi’s Life Spirit, but also because of the other party’s evil. With the strength of the other party’s Life Spirit, he could have killed him in an instant. However, the other party was constantly toying with him. It was as if he took pleasure in torturing him.
He played with his Life Spirit until only half of his face was left.
“How boring.” Xiao Shi’s evil Life Spirit shook its head in disappointment. He took a deep breath. He immediately reduced the Life Spirit General’s incomplete Life Spirit to ashes. Fortunately, after killing the other party, a total of two items dropped. Clearly, the ferocious beast that had fused with the other party had also been included.
His gains were not bad. Unfortunately, there was no fourth Emperor’s Equipment. Xiao Shi picked up these two items and continued to search for his next prey.
Several days later, when another Life Spirit General in the Evil Beast Mountain was killed by Xiao Shi, he had already killed twelve Life Spirit Generals in a row in the past few days. Through killing these Life Spirit Generals, he had a more detailed understanding of this Evil.
All in all, the strongest part of this avatar was its body.
The Evil’s body was like a humanoid soldier. Every part of his body seemed to be able to turn into an indestructible weapon. The most terrifying thing was that this body did not feel any pain and had an astonishing self-healing ability.
The feeling that Xiao Shi had was as if this was not a body at all, but a divine weapon.
Xiao Shi’s evil Life Spirit still had a natural suppression on other Life Spirits.
He didn’t know if this suppression was because the Life Spirits he had encountered so far were all Life Spirits of demonic factions.
No matter what, none of the Life Spirits he encountered could resist it. This made it extremely easy for him to face these Life Spirit Generals. He did not feel any difficulty in killing them. Even the strongest Life Spirit General in the Evil Beast Mountain was no different from other Life Spirit Generals in front of Xiao Shi.
They all killed him easily. No matter what methods these Life Spirit generals used to fight him, the outcome was the same. They were all easily killed by him.
“I feel that I’m already invincible in the Martial Soul Realm!” Xiao Shi felt that it was easy for him to kill a Life Spirit General. Perhaps he could really fight a Martial Demon Realm expert.
Although he did not have a clear understanding of the difference between the Martial Demon Realm and the Martial Soul Realm, the feeling these Life Spirit Generals gave him was too weak. He could not use his full strength.
Even if the difference between the Martial Demon Realm and the Martial Soul Realm was huge, it was not a problem for him to survive when he was no match for them.
“Perhaps 1 can find a Martial Demon Realm cultivator here to give it a try.” Xiao Shi had this thought. However, there was one thing to note. He could only challenge the first stage of the Martial Demon Realm. If it was a second-stage Martial Demon Realm, he would definitely not be able to fight it. After all, there was an incomparably huge difference between the two stages of the Martial Demon Realm.
As he thought, Xiao Shi picked up the items dropped after killing this Life Spirit General. When specific item information appeared in his vision, Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up.
Finally, after killing twelve Life Spirit Generals in a row, he successfully dropped a fourth Emperor’s Equipment!
