233: Keeping things quiet is not his style!

From the crowd, a voice suddenly came, seemingly a laugh yet not a laugh.

Everyone frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice, as the crowd automatically parted to form a path.

There, Shen Tianxing, clad in azure robes and wielding the demon sealing saber, slowly walked towards the altar.

Behind him, Liu Xianyun and Liu Yueying followed closely. The man was handsome and tall, the women were stunning beauties, attracting everyone's attention.

"What a Shen Tianxing, so young? Is that Liu Xianyun? Not only is she beautiful, but she's already a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert? Liu Yueying's cultivation isn't weak either."

"Are these three the ones who slaughtered over a dozen cities? I only heard about this recently, but seeing them today, it's true that you can't judge a book by its cover."

"The people from Queyue City and Thunder Abyss City all show hostility towards them. I wonder how he'll respond?"

Those around who were qualified to stand there were all experts from other sea regions, and their strength was considerable.

Some were seeing Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun for the first time, their eyes filled with curiosity, while others wore cold smiles, waiting to see what would unfold.

Shen Tianxing's arrival was like a basin of water suddenly poured into boiling oil, making the atmosphere in the arena exceptionally turbulent!

An invisible scent of gunpowder seemed ready to ignite.

"Shen Tianxing, since you hold the azure dragon fragment map, you should know what day today is."

"You've made so many Cultivators here wait for you alone; shouldn't you offer an explanation?"

Lei Tianjue looked at Shen Tianxing with a sneer, his eyes containing a hidden killing intent.

Lei Tiangang died at Shen Tianxing's hands, and given Thunder Abyss City's way of doing things, they certainly couldn't just let it go lightly!

Ouyang Bi, standing nearby, had a cold expression, his eyes revealing a terrifying glint of malice!

Unless Shen Tianxing was a fool, he could clearly tell that these two definitely held a grudge against him!

"Excuse me, but who might this be?"

Shen Tianxing pointed at Lei Tianjue, asking with a puzzled expression.

"Thunder Abyss City, Lei Tianjue!"

Lei Tianjue gritted his teeth and spat out the words.

"Oh! So it's the City Lord of Thunder Abyss City, Lei Tianjue!"

"Then this gentleman, who looks like he wants to devour This Official Shen, must be Ouyang Bi of Queyue City, right?"

Shen Tianxing had an 'oh, I see' expression, then pointed at Ouyang Bi beside him!

The Two of the Eight City Lords, throughout the Outer Sea, were known to all!

How could Shen Tianxing, who could immediately name Ouyang Bi's identity, not know Lei Tianjue?

This was clearly intentional!

"Shen Tianxing, enough with the nonsense. Time is almost up; hand over the azure dragon fragment map in your hand!"

Ouyang Bi looked at Shen Tianxing's punchable expression, wishing he could slap him to death!

However, in the Face of such an important matter, he could only endure it. He'd wait until Shen Tianxing produced the azure dragon fragment map.

Cultivators from various cities around also looked on with anticipation.

If this last azure dragon fragment map didn't appear, the Secret Realm couldn't be opened, and everyone was getting a bit impatient.

Shen Tianxing, however, was not in a hurry at all. He smiled and said,

"One of you says I'm late and demands an explanation, and the other tells me to hand over the azure dragon fragment map."

"What exactly do you want me to do? Why don't you discuss it among yourselves, and I'll come back then?"

What the hell!?

The Cultivators around all cursed inwardly!

This guy truly wasn't afraid of death; he dared to play such games with so many big figures from top factions!

Was he really not afraid of everyone ganging up and just snatching it?

"You... Shen Tianxing, you're too arrogant! Do you take us for minor factions like Ten Thousand Demon City or Bahai City?"

"We're not bothering with you, but it's not because we're afraid of you. If you continue to be so presumptuous, don't think that with Liu Xianyun protecting you, we can't do anything to you!"

Lei Tiangang was so enraged he almost couldn't catch his breath!

He was a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivator; when had he ever been so blatantly disrespected and slapped in the Face by a Soul Palace Realm Cultivator?

Normally, Lei Tiangang could suppress him with one hand!

"Heh..."

"He's trying to scare me, see?"

"The azure dragon fragment map is in my hand. Go ahead and try to take it from me!"

Shen Tianxing's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, always smiling.

They think they can make him compromise with a few words?

It's not that simple!

Today, he had to let these high and mighty individuals know who the real boss was!

As soon as these words came out, Lei Tiangang's Face turned beet red, as if his neck was caught, and he couldn't speak another word.

To forcibly snatch it?

If only it were that simple!

It wasn't that he hadn't considered doing so, but the azure dragon fragment map was in his hand. What if he decided to go for a 'fish dies, net breaks' scenario and simply destroyed it?

No one knew what material it was made of, so who could guarantee it wouldn't be damaged?

If it were truly damaged, then even if his Thunder Abyss City was one of the Eight Cities, he probably wouldn't survive until tomorrow!

He couldn't bear that responsibility!

Ouyang Bi, beside him, also had a constipated look, almost spitting blood from anger!

Shen Tianxing's actions were truly baffling!

This kid was uncommonly tough!

He had originally intended to use the presence of so many City Lords from top factions to pressure him, but as it turned out... he was somewhat relieved that Lei Tianjue, with his fiery temper, had jumped in first. If it had been him, he would have been the one to lose Face.

"Alright!"

"Everyone, let's calm down a bit."

Mu Yunqing stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "The Azure Dragon Secret Realm opens once every ten years. Opportunities are rare. Any grievances are best settled later."

"Shen Tianxing, what do you say?"

Mu Yunqing hadn't expected Shen Tianxing to be so domineering, not fearing them at all.

Most importantly, he had once secretly commissioned someone to investigate Shen Tianxing's origins but had found nothing!

The Heavenly Secret was obscured; this young man was extraordinary!

If they could avoid offending him, it was naturally best not to!

Shen Tianxing looked at Mu Yunqing, smiled, and said, "Island Master Mu, it's not This Official Shen looking for trouble; it's someone who dislikes me!"

"I don't mind everyone going to war, but whether the Azure Dragon Secret Realm can be opened, I can't guarantee!"

What?!

All the City Lords present showed angry expressions. This kid was truly a master of courting death!

Mu Yunqing raised his hand, stopping the others from speaking.

"Shen Tianxing, state your terms, but don't go too far."

"You can enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm first. No one shall obstruct you. Whoever makes a move, This Official will personally eliminate him!"

Mu Yunqing appeared benevolent, but in reality, he was also a ruthless individual!

Otherwise, how could Moon Gazing Island become one of the Two Islands of the Outer Sea?

A soft-hearted person could not survive in the Outer Sea!

Mu Yunqing's words not only gave Shen Tianxing Face but also served as a warning to everyone else!

Before the Secret Realm opened, no one was allowed to make a move!

This time, Shen Tianxing truly acted like a boss!

Liu Xianyun and Liu Yueying couldn't help but exchange glances, recalling what he had said earlier; it had indeed come true!

Having made his point, Shen Tianxing hadn't originally intended to truly clash with so many factions.

This was not his intention.

However, he definitely had to draw this line; appeasement was not his style either!

"Island Master Mu, I'll give you this Face."

"Let Lei Tianjue and Ouyang Bi offer me a toast and admit their mistake, and this matter can be overlooked!"
