As for the dissatisfaction of Ye Changkong and others, Zhang Fengshen seemed to have anticipated it.

“Everyone, among the eight of us, my strength is the strongest. Before Li Yun arrived, you actually considered me your biggest threat, didn't you?”

“So what?”

“I just said that this situation is about taking turns to wear down Li Yun. No matter who is the last one standing, it will be a sure victory.”

“Does it matter if you are the strongest?”

“Unless you don't need us to help you wear down Li Yun and you can defeat Li Yun by yourself, haha, then we have nothing to discuss, but you can't do that, can you?”

Ye Changkong's tone was somewhat sarcastic.

Clearly, he was very unhappy with Zhang Fengshen claiming to be the strongest among the eight of them.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, but there is a second in martial arts.

You are all the most powerful Peerless prodigies in White Emperor City. Zhang Fengshen, perhaps your rank is slightly higher, but you don't need to flaunt it here, or even use it as capital, right?

Isn't that insulting?

But Zhang Fengshen still didn't get angry.

He still looked confident.

“Everyone, I understand your thoughts, but you have to admit that I am the most confident one to be the last one standing, aren't I?”

“Of course, we are all adults. If we only talk about the big picture and not about interests, then I, Zhang Fengshen, wouldn't dare to talk big here.”

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of Ye Changkong and others clearly improved a lot.

Talk about interests?

Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said so earlier, wouldn't everyone not be troubled?

“Everyone, the Holy Child of White Emperor City is not permanent. Every hundred years, there will be a re-election. Here, I represent my Zhang Clan and promise that as long as you help me once, no matter the outcome, for the next seven hundred years, my Zhang Clan will unconditionally cooperate with your Clan once.”

“In addition, on behalf of my Zhang Clan Patriarch, I convey a promise to everyone: after the matter is completed, as long as I become the White Emperor City Holy Child, my Zhang Clan is willing to give up an ancient Sect relic that has just been discovered and has not yet been explored, so that our eight families can explore it together and share the benefits equally!”

Ah, this…

Immediately.

The eyes of Ye Changkong and others lit up.

Good heavens, this Zhang Clan has really spent a lot of money for this Holy Child position.

According to Zhang Fengshen, if the Zhang Clan really fulfills these two conditions, then it is really not a loss for the others to help wear down Li Yun and help Zhang Fengshen rise to power. It's simply a huge profit.

The seven Holy Child candidates looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding almost instantly.

In fact.

Their families behind them were still a bit hesitant about the struggle for this Third Holy Son.

This position for a Holy Child with a different surname only came about because the White Emperor Family and the Lie Tian Royal Clan compromised after their game of chess.

Although on the surface, the White Emperor Family didn't have any excessive reaction and even seemed willing, who knows what they were actually thinking?

After all, White Emperor City is the territory of the White Emperor Family.

So eagerly snatching the first position of Holy Child with a different surname in the history of White Emperor City seems glorious on the surface, but who knows if they will be targeted by the White Emperor Family?

The Lie Tian Royal Clan will not look after them in White Emperor City all the time.

From Bai Youruo suddenly finding Li Yun to intervene in this struggle, one can also get a glimpse of it.

Based on this, whether to forcefully take down this noble Third Holy Son position, these few families were actually still somewhat undecided in private.

Therefore, they had already secretly reached a tacit understanding behind the Zhang Clan's back.

Among the eight, Zhang Fengshen is the strongest. If Zhang Fengshen's attitude is firm and shows signs of definitely wanting to take this position, then they will go with the flow and exchange this cooperation for benefits.

It also happens to be an opportunity to test the White Emperor Family and see if the Zhang Clan will be targeted by the White Emperor Family if a Holy Child with a different surname really appears.

If everything is normal, it's not too late for them to compete for the next Holy Child position.

Therefore.

Just now, Ye Changkong took the initiative to argue with Zhang Fengshen, seemingly very dissatisfied, but it was actually just acting.

Unexpectedly, the effect was so good.

Zhang Fengshen actually made such a promise on behalf of the Zhang Clan. The two conditions he offered are definitely better than they expected. How could they not agree?

Immediately, Ye Changkong went with the flow.

“Hehe… Zhang Fengshen, your Zhang Clan is indeed generous. You are truly worthy of being the strongest Clan in White Emperor City besides the White Emperor Family. Alright, you are straightforward enough, so what's the harm in us agreeing to help you wear down Li Yun!”

“Us?”

Zhang Fengshen gave them a strange look and sneered: “It seems that after returning from Lord Crown Prince, you have reached a tacit understanding behind our Zhang Clan's back. I really underestimated you.”

“However, I am very curious, what would you do if I didn't plan to forcefully seize this Holy Child position?”

“Aren't you afraid of your wishful thinking falling through?”

Everyone's face was awkward.

Ye Changkong was indeed the most thick-skinned and quickly reacted, chuckling: “What wishful thinking? If you don't compete, then we will compete. It's all about our own abilities. This Holy Child position may not necessarily be snatched by Li Yun alone.”

“He's an outsider!”

“As the saying goes, a fierce dragon crossing the river becomes a worm. In our territory, where can he possibly jump around?”

Zhang Fengshen chuckled and stopped arguing with them: “Okay, let's say you have a point. Then this matter is settled. The conditions are those two conditions. Today, the seven of you will help me take turns wearing down Li Yun!”

Ye Changkong and the others all agreed, and they showed it readily.

Looking at their smiling faces, Zhang Fengshen suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly.

Extremely uncomfortable.

However, thinking of the benefits of becoming the White Emperor City Holy Child.

Zhang Fengshen felt much better in his heart and secretly mocked Ye Changkong and the others for being timid and short-sighted, unable to achieve anything great.

One must know that cultivation is like walking on thin ice. One step fast, every step is fast.

Becoming the White Emperor City Holy Child one day earlier means getting the benefits one day earlier. By then, his strength will far surpass theirs.

At that time, do they still have the right to negotiate conditions with him like today?

In the world of Martial Artists, strength is king after all!

A bunch of fools!

While Zhang Fengshen was secretly pleased, the situation on the Hengtian Stage changed again.

First, people from the White Emperor Family arrived one after another under the personal leadership of the Patriarch Bai Tianhuang. A moment later, the Yunya Saintess also entered the Hengtian Stage with Li Yun.

About another moment later.

Crown Prince Lietian Li Xin, also stepped onto the Hengtian Stage with the old eunuch Cao Lin and a group of royal experts.

Lord Crown Prince once again wore his gentle and pleasant smile, greeting all the spectators inside the Hengtian Stage, presenting himself as a warm, humble, and approachable figure.

This caused a burst of cheers from the spectators, who were clearly very pleased and enthusiastic about Lord Crown Prince's friendliness!
