After Ye Zhen swept his sleeves and left, the group of stunned Sand Sea Divine Priests came to their senses and immediately broke into a heated debate.
If Ye Zhen's previous display of nurturing the Yidongqing Divine Tree made them wary, then his method of making the Yidongqing Divine Tree wither in an instant instilled a deep sense of fear.
Such miraculous withering and reviving abilities, if Ye Zhen harbored even the slightest malicious intent or schemed a little, could allow him to swallow their territories leaving not a trace.
Compared to an imperial power like the Great Zhou Dynasty, a religiously governed tribe like the Yizhi Sand Sea offers a solid rule but also has tremendous inherent flaws.
The methods Ye Zhen displayed earlier are exactly their Achilles' heel.
A person's body or a tribe can be destroyed through violence, but once a person's faith or a tribe's belief is established, even destruction cannot change it.
