Chapter 1202 - 1202 1188 Persuasion

Chapter 1202: Chapter 1188: Persuasion Chapter 1202: Chapter 1188: Persuasion Qiandu Xiang knew those blockheads were all dumbfounded. Aware that some people didn’t believe him, he scoffed and said, “Understand this, you’re doubting whether I’m just talking big. In reality, I’m more concerned than any of you because they’re seeking revenge. They want to kill me, so I can’t afford to fail. Failure for me means nothing but a dead end.”

“I’m afraid of dying too. If I didn’t have the confidence to defeat them, I wouldn’t foolishly stay here, waiting for them to come and beat me, then kill me. Impossible. I’m not that stupid. If I didn’t have a winning chance, I would definitely think of running away. So if I dare to stay, it’s because I am confident in myself.”

These words did instill a bit of confidence in those who were previously doubtful. That’s right. If Qiandu Xiang wasn’t confident, why would he stay? He would have been better off figuring out how to escape and possibly live a few more days.

Right, therefore he must not be spouting nonsense. There might be an exaggeration, but there’s also truth in it.

The squat Ma Zi, who had initially thought Qiandu Xiang was all talk, was actually somewhat persuaded now. Although still very doubtful since all this guy did was boast, what else could he do? He needed to keep these people to help him. Could it be that he would tell these folks, “I’m not sure, you can stay or go”? Then everyone would’ve scattered, leaving no one to help him face Nangong Yao.

Qiandu Xiang continued, “The Moon Beast has merged with me, and with the assistance of demonic and Evil Spirit energies, whether or not the Sacred Spirit Stone can be pushed to an uncontrollable point, I can’t guarantee it. But I think it’s possible. Once that point is reached, the enemy might lose control, ultimately leading to devastation and falling into devilment. If that kid succumbs to devilment, would we still fear their failure?”

People started whispering to each other, clearly their confidence was returning.

Local influencer was calculating and asked, “You mentioned three reasons for our possible success, but you’ve only talked about two. What’s the third one?”

Seeing those guys getting interested, Qiandu Xiang continued, “We’ll draw in the people from the thirty-six islands. Many want the Sacred Spirit Stone and the Wolf King’s Ring. They’ve been severely beaten the last time and bear grudges against the people from Iron Ten Thousand Island and Immortal Medicine Island. They all want the Sacred Spirit Stone; they just haven’t said it outright.

“If they knew that Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang were coming with the Sacred Spirit Stone to attack the Sacred Spirit Sect, they would definitely come over. Of course, not to help us but to take advantage of the chaos to get the Sacred Spirit Stone. Usually, they wouldn’t dare to challenge Immortal Medicine Island and Iron Ten Thousand Island, but if we start a war with Nangong Yao, they will surely get involved, inadvertently aiding us.

“So we have a pretty good chance of winning.”

The most important thing is how to deal with the Sacred Spirit Stone. To the local influencer, as long as we can handle the Sacred Spirit Stone, there’s nothing to worry about. After hearing what Qiandu Xiang had just said, he was brimming with confidence.

At this point, Ma Zi felt somewhat confident and said, “Then when the time comes, they will definitely compete with us for the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“That’s right, there’s the good and the bad. Using their help is good for us, but facing their competition is something we have to deal with. However, this is Sacred Spirit Island, my territory, what I say goes here. We can plan carefully. There are still a few days left, so let them come. I’m not even afraid they won’t come,” Qiandu Xiang said confidently.

Looking at the bunch downstairs, they were dumbstruck.

Qiandu Xiang added, “I’ve said all that I wanted to say. You can think it over and see if it’s possible to succeed. I can’t guarantee a hundred percent, but I’ve laid out the analysis. If you want to leave, you can leave. I will not force you to stay. Those who stay will be my good brothers, and I won’t shortchange you. I’m someone who will not forget those who’ve helped me, nor will I forget those who’ve stabbed me in the back.”

While speaking, he glanced at the local influencer.

During this period, the special regard for the local influencer had its reasons. Everyone knew that the local influencer had saved his life. This behavior showed he was a grateful person and was also a message for the crowd.

“Alright, if you have any objections, feel free to voice them. If there are none, you can disperse,” Qiandu Xiang said, standing up.

The group quickly dispersed.

However, Qiandu Xiang kept the local influencer and others back, inquiring, “Brother Liu, what do you think about my plan?”

The local influencer hastily replied, “It’s wonderfully planned, flawless.”

“Is it? I’m still worried if there’s anything lacking.”

“No, Sect Leader, you must have been very busy during this period.”

Qiandu Xiang politely showed his concern and asked, “I hope your stay with us has been comfortable.”

How could the local influencer complain? He responded, “Very well, much better than my time on Freedom Island. You’ve taken great care of me, and I feel quite embarrassed by it.”

“Don’t say that, in the future we’re all good brothers. As long as you feel it’s alright, that’s enough. Once this incident is over and we snatch the Sacred Spirit Stone, better days lie ahead.”

“Of course, that’s a given. I will definitely help the Sect Leader with all my heart.”

“Stop with ‘Sect Leader.’ From now on, we are brothers. Shall we address each other as such?”

“That won’t do, it’s fine to call me that normally, but in front of a large crowd, it’s still better to stick to the rules.”

“I just particularly hate those rules, they imprison people.”

Soon enough, the serpent head left with Yang Zuotai and the short and stocky Ma Zi.

Suddenly, only Qiandu Xiang, Hai Jingtian, and Baili He remained; the latter two having followed Qiandu Xiang for the longest time and making him feel the most at ease.

Watching them leave, Qiandu Xiang asked, “What do you think, how was what I said?”

Baili He scoffed, “Those guys must be completely dumbfounded. They would have never thought that the Sect Leader could fuse with the Moon Beast in such a short span of time.”

“Exactly, if it weren’t for years of research, how could it be successful? All thanks to you.” Qiandu Xiang had intended to use the Sacred Spirit Stone to control the Moon Beast and the Evil Spirit. So, long ago, he began researching how to control the Moon Beast and Evil Spirit, which was why he managed to fuse with it so quickly. Of course, this included utilizing evil and demonic energies; without these two forces, he really couldn’t have controlled the Moon Beast, and without control, how could he merge with it?

However, he was very aware of the dangers involved, but to avenge his brother and defeat Nangong Yao, that sacrifice was still necessary.

He would bet that Nangong Yao and his cronies would never guess he would dare to do this.

Baili He chuckled, saying, “He doesn’t even know that the Moon Beast is in our hands yet.”

“Right, they believe they have it all under control.” Qiandu Xiang, not without difficulty, had spent a whole month completing the fusion. Although it was only a rudimentary one, it was already enough because he controlled the Moon Beast.

Hai Jingtian spoke, “We’ll catch them completely off guard, something they’d never dream of.”

“Trying to fight with me, they even picked someone who has gone mad from practising cultivation. I’ll see how he becomes a mad dog in the end,” Qiandu Xiang said.

Baili He snickered gleefully.

“All right, as long as this bunch has confidence in me, that’s good enough; don’t go shaking the morale,” Qiandu Xiang continued. “You are the ones I trust the most, never mind how well I treat the serpent head, it’s all for the sake of showing the followers.”

He knew that recently he and the serpent head had grown close, which could cause his old brothers to feel disheartened. How is it that someone who just joined got so much attention, while those who fought tooth and nail for him weren’t rewarded as generously?

Of course, Baili He wasn’t stupid either and knew why Qiandu Xiang acted this way. He reassured, “Don’t worry, I understand that at this time, we need to unite all our strength to deal with Nangong Yao first.”

“Good, as long as you understand that, it doesn’t waste my kindness to you,” Qiandu Xiang said. He definitely needed to unite all the forces he could; on his own, he could not defeat Nangong Yao.

“Then let’s clash with that group and see whose deer will fall.”

“Fine, they’re all here, let’s eradicate them all in one fell swoop.”

The serpent left with Yang Zuotai and Ma Zi.

Ma Zi, although he seemed very excited earlier, still had some doubts about Qiandu Xiang. Was that guy really one hundred percent confident? It was hard to be sure. He said, “Leader, Qiandu Xiang sounded so confident, as if everything is within his grasp, like he couldn’t wait for others to come over. Can we really trust him?”

Serpent head Liu An chuckled and asked, “Why can’t we trust him?”

The short and stocky Ma Zi replied, “Qiandu Xiang may be prepared and might have fused, but we don’t know how ready Nangong Yao and his people are. They certainly wouldn’t waste a month’s time and would have been preparing as well. It’s a case of six of one, half a dozen of the other; moreover, the Sacred Spirit Stone is in their hands.”

Listening, the serpent head nodded slightly but didn’t immediately voice his opinion.

The short and stocky Ma Zi continued, “I feel like he’s just bluffing, boasting without putting anything on the line. How could everything be under his control? If he were that powerful, the Sacred Spirit Stone wouldn’t have fallen into others’ hands. He’s just bluffing to make everyone believe in him and follow him. How could he possibly be that formidable?”

The serpent head gave a slight smile and said, “You make some sense. Indeed, while we’re preparing here, Nangong Yao and his people are also preparing. Qiandu Xiang might have exaggerated a little, but some of it is true, which is that Nangong Yao’s group doesn’t know about Qiandu Xiang’s fusion with the Moon Beast.”

“So you really believe they’ve merged? It’s the Moon Beast we’re talking about; succeeding in one month, it’s hard to believe.”

Serpent head Liu An smiled and said, “Why should we believe it? He has no need to deceive us, because if he fails, he dies. He’s more desperate for success than any of us.”
