Treat Others with Kindness and Win the People's Hearts; Only Then Is It the Right Path
"I want the core position."
The voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
These words shocked everyone present.
"Is this... about a conflict?"
Those nearby paled slightly and instinctively stepped aside.
Others, however, wore expressions of "I knew it!"
In the current secret realm, competition is the primary focus among the various factions.
In a location like Zither Sound Valley, how could any parties possibly cooperate?
After all, the most crucial position is now in Jiang Xin's hands.
As soon as Dai Tianfeng finished speaking, Jiang Xin stopped turning around.
The next moment, his gaze turned to Dai Tianfeng, and he spoke:
"Then let's see if you have the ability."
As the voice faded, a surge of energy suddenly erupted from Jiang Xin's body.
Flames emerged from around him, not large in scale, but extremely intense, instantly making Jiang Xin resemble a blazing sun, and the entire Zither Sound Valley instantly transformed into a valley of flames.
"What terrifying fire power!" Someone's expression changed drastically as they stared in horror at the flames surrounding Jiang Xin.
The flames were so intense that he felt that if even a tiny bit of fire touched him, it would be enough to bring him immense suffering.
"The Extreme Arms Holy Land are skilled in fire. Now that I've sensed it, it's true. No wonder they can be the leader of the Seven Heroes. Their skill with fire alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people," someone exclaimed.
"So decisive and efficient! No wonder he's a prodigy; he's so confident. It seems a fight is brewing today."
Jiang Xin's response not only made the atmosphere in Zither Sound Valley heated, but also made it more tense.
All eyes turned to Dai Tianfeng.
Seeing Jiang Xin's response, Dai Tianfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Without any visible movement, the next moment, a sword's cry rang out in the void, echoing in all directions.
Wherever the sword's cry passed, the intense heat of the flames was almost instantly dissolved, replaced by an incomparably sharp Sword Intent.
With a flash of light, the longsword appeared in Dai Tianfeng's hand.
At the same time, the people from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty who had come with him also activated their auras.
Suddenly, it felt like a storm was brewing.
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow slightly:
Are we going to start a fight?
At this moment, a thought struck him, and his attention shifted to another place.
Wujie in Buddhist Order.
"If the two of you wish to have a contest, you may go outside Zither Sound Valley on your own."
Amidst the tense atmosphere, Wujie rose, looked at the two, and spoke:
"This is not a good place to fight."
Dai Tianfeng looked over and spoke:
"You Buddhist Order, you want to get involved too?"
Upon hearing this, Wujie smiled faintly:
"You jest, benefactor. Our Buddhist Order always acts with the well-being of all beings in mind. Now that the two of you are clashing here, if we accidentally damage the surrounding walls and ruin the relationships of others, our Buddhist Order would not tolerate such a thing."
These words immediately surprised many people present.
The Buddhist Order is indeed different; they genuinely care about their well-being.
However, Dai Tianfeng did not answer these questions.
"Please continue, you two. I will not interfere with your sparring."
Wujie gestured, then said nothing more.
Jiang Xin glanced at Wujie, the flames around her subsided, and her gaze swept over the crowd. She said, "This place was discovered and cleared by my Extreme Arms Holy Land. Now, most of this area is open to all parties. I hope everyone can gain something from this place."
"As for the core area, it will be opened to everyone in three days. However, if anyone attempts to seize it by force within these three days, our Extreme Arms Holy Land will not be afraid."
The voice was firm and resounding, bringing a smile to the faces of many.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for everyone. If the core area has always been occupied by the top forces, they will have no chance at all.
After Jiang Xin finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the core area.
In mid-air, Dai Tianfeng and his group found themselves in a somewhat awkward situation.
The atmosphere had already reached that point.
In the end, a fight didn't actually break out.
This feeling is extremely unpleasant.
This is especially true for Dai Tianfeng, who instigated the incident.
Are you still scared?
A cold glint flashed in Dai Tianfeng's eyes.
This feeling of being ignored made him extremely unhappy.
Taking a deep breath, Dai Tianfeng shifted his gaze away from the core area; the longsword vanished, and the Sword Intent dissipated.
"Go down."
After speaking, Dai Tianfeng descended downwards.
As his gaze swept over Wujie, a flash of sword light appeared in Dai Tianfeng's eyes.
Wujie reacted quickly; his lips moved slightly, and deep within his eyes, a Buddhist light emanated, blocking Dai Tianfeng's Sword Intent.
"Amitabha, benefactor, doing good to others and winning their hearts is the right path," Wujie said with a faint smile.
Dai Tianfeng did not respond.
He looked down on this Wujie behavior even more.
Taking into account everyone present was merely an excuse to intervene.
For someone of their status to consider the opportunities and lives of others is nothing but hypocrisy.
However, at present, we must consider both the fear of damaging this place and the sudden intervention of Buddhist Order.
Jiang Xin is nothing, but if Wujie stirs things up...
Disdain for someone's work style doesn't mean they disdain their abilities as well.
The little farce temporarily came to an end as Dai Tianfeng and his group landed.
However, everyone present understood the situation.
Given this situation, a real conflict between the three parties is inevitable in the near future.
As for the scale, it will probably depend on the cohesion of the various forces involved.
Qin Han gently shook his head in the crowd.
His feelings at that moment were somewhat complicated.
There was some joy, at least judging from Dai Tianfeng's reaction, he didn't seem to have any particular interest in Jiang Xin.
This way, you'll have one less competitor.
As for disappointment, there is also some. If the two were to fight, and Jiang Xin were to encounter a crisis, his intervention at a crucial moment might have some positive effects.
Unfortunately, it didn't happen as expected.
Now, Jiang Xin has returned to the core area.
Getting close is unlikely; that core area isn't something you can enter simply by having resources or prestige. You need an invitation.
"It seems the only way is to find a way to attract her attention," Qin Han thought to himself, and sat down cross-legged again.
According to Elder Hua, the musicians here are quite skilled in playing the zither. If one immerses oneself in the music, it may greatly aid one's cultivation. If one is lucky enough, one may even be able to enter a state of Sudden Enlightenment.
Sudden Enlightenment is almost a symbol of genius and luck.
As long as he can Sudden Enlightenment, he will surely gain Jiang Xin's attention.
Without hesitation, Qin Han immediately began trying it out, hoping to enter a state of Sudden Enlightenment.
Lu Changzhi noticed all of their movements.
After glancing at the system, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head:
"It seems that gaining enlightenment through the zither's power won't be easy; I guess it'll take all night to try and understand."
After saying that, Lu Changzhi withdrew his attention and stopped thinking about it.
With a thought, Observing Chair being placed flat.
Whether you understand it or not, we'll talk about it after you wake up.
Now, I am in the Zither Sound Valley, surrounded by the sound of qin music, and I fall asleep listening to the music.
In short—brilliant!
