408: Accompanying the Emperor's Son! The Holy Son of the Three Great Divine Religions!

The Inner Sea became even more chaotic!

After the news of the Dragon Tomb Land being sealed spread, the powerhouses of the Inner Sea's top forces had already left one after another.

The Cultivators of the Four Great Domains also left the Dragon Tomb Land.

The younger generation of experts from the Four Great Domains began to travel the Inner Sea, especially visiting its many Forbidden Grounds.

There are many Forbidden Grounds in the Inner Sea, and almost all the prominent Sects occupy one.

Relying on these Forbidden Grounds to obtain a large amount of resources is how they maintain their status.

Among them, One Sect, Three Halls, Six Prefectures, Twelve Caves are the most powerful forces!

They occupy the most Inner Sea Forbidden Grounds, and now is the time when Six Mansions and Twelve Caves are jointly dealing with One Sect and Three Halls, and the struggle for Forbidden Grounds is intensifying!

Now, the Cultivators of the Inner Sea have long forgotten that the cause of these top-tier power struggles was the killing of a batch of Saints from top forces.

Those experts who made a move, some fled, some died, and have long become old news.

Now it has completely turned into a scramble for resources!

It has also become an opportunity for young Prodigies to compete, no matter whose Forbidden Ground it is, it will attract some powerful young experts to fight over it.

Under such competition, Golden Body Realm experts did not appear, nor did the high-level officials of various forces.

Whoever obtains it, it belongs to that force; the capable will get it!

Holy Heaven City was originally a no-man's-land, and various forces had previously sent a large number of experts to establish their strongholds here.

The purpose was to compete for the three Forbidden Grounds within the Holy Heaven City sea area.

But ever since Shen Tianxing moved the Never Look Back Merchant Guild to Holy Heaven City, the formidable battle achievements of Shen Liu and Shen Qi here suppressed all forces, making them unable to raise their heads.

Just think, two Golden Body Realm Cultivators guarding a merchant city!

How powerful must the force behind this be?

Who would dare to waste time here?

No force would be foolish enough to offend a Sect whose background is unknown.

However, times have changed!

The situation in the Inner Sea has once again shifted.

The high-level officials from various parties in the Dragon Tomb Land have all returned, and Holy Heaven City, which no one dared to covet before, has welcomed another batch of young experts of unknown depth...

"The Never Look Back Merchant Guild, in just one year, has established its position here, truly extraordinary."

"Their business is truly thriving, not much inferior to our Myriad Treasures Pavilion in Eastern Continent."

The speaker was a handsome young man, dressed in brocade, with an elegant demeanor, possessing the air of a true gentleman.

However, the arrogance on his face made people feel a sense of distance!

His name is Pei Yu, from Eastern Continent, a Saint of the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult, and his strength has already reached the Peak of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!

With such strength, he is already a top figure among the younger generation in the Inner Sea!

In other words, he has the capital to be arrogant!

"The Myriad Treasures Pavilion spans the Four Domains, where is it not thriving? But this so-called Never Look Back Merchant Guild is unheard of; if I hadn't come to the Inner Sea, I wouldn't even know where it popped out from."

"To have two Golden Body Realm experts guarding it is indeed impressive, and their background is deeply hidden, even we can't find out."

"However, to think that they can control Holy Heaven City like this is probably wishful thinking. Now that experts from all sides have returned from the Dragon Tomb Land, they probably don't have the ability to continue dominating Holy Heaven City."

Beside the arrogant young man sat a dark-skinned young man, built like a mountain, with a fierce expression, eagle-like eyes, and a profound Qi that was faintly discernible.

His strength was on par with that of the arrogant young man.

This fellow is from the Iron Mountain Divine Sect, one of the Inner Saints, named Gao Tianci!

And beside these two, there also sat a young monk.

He was currently feasting on delicacies and drinking strong liquor like a knife, completely disregarding his image.

Gao Tianci and Pei Yu, however, showed no signs of displeasure.

"We are not here to compete with them for Holy Heaven City. As long as they don't hinder us from controlling the three Forbidden Grounds outside Holy Heaven City, there's no need to conflict with them."

Pei Yu shook his head, elegantly raised a cup of wine, and drank it all.

The power of the Never Look Back Merchant Guild is now well-known; to outsiders, they now control Holy Heaven City, so the Forbidden Grounds outside naturally belong to the Never Look Back Merchant Guild.

But in Pei Yu's eyes, the Never Look Back Merchant Guild remains the same; besides selling treasures every day, they don't seem to send people to control the three Forbidden Grounds, which means these three Forbidden Grounds are ownerless!

What's wrong with them taking them?

What's more, the experts of their Sect have all returned from the Dragon Tomb Land, so they are not afraid of this so-called mysterious Trading Firm!

Eastern Extreme Divine Cult, Iron Mountain Divine Sect, South Sea Divine Sect, with three Saints from Immortal Divine Sects making a move together, who would dare to touch them?

It's impossible!

"Since that's the case, we should act sooner rather than later. I heard that Three Halls and other Domains also have people eyeing this place. Taking it down early will prevent future complications!"

"A few days ago, I heard that the Emperor's Companion from the Hunyuan Sect had already made a move, taking down three Forbidden Grounds, and some old friends were even crushed by him once. We have to be careful!"

When mentioning the Emperor's Companion, Gao Tianci's eyes were full of light.

Even Xiao She of the South Sea Divine Sect, who was eating and drinking heartily beside them, stopped his actions.

Envy!

Becoming an Emperor's Companion is the pursuit of all Saints in their Sects!

However, the position of Emperor's Companion is not that easy to hold.

One must not only possess formidable cultivation but also stand out in numerous Saint competitions!

They must forcefully suppress everyone!

With their cultivation, they were still a bit short.

"Oh? Has that fellow made a move too?"

A hint of apprehension flashed in Pei Yu's eyes.

There aren't many people who can make them wary; among the younger generation, the Emperor's Companion is an existence they look up to, making it hard not to be wary!

The Hunyuan Sect is a massive force, and with an Emperor's Companion emerging from their ranks, their strength has soared unprecedentedly!

Now that they have extended their reach into the Inner Sea, other Saints who wish to accomplish something must rely on their Sects!

"That fellow Yuan Wuji, one day I will twist off his head!"

"However, it won't be that easy to contend for the Forbidden Grounds we have set our sights on!"

Gao Tianci's face revealed a ruthless expression.

They are all Cultivators, and those who can sit in the position of Saint are all ambitious and will never admit defeat to others!

Even if the Emperor's Companion is a mountain, they will find a way to climb over it!

"I'm full, let's go!"

Xiao She put down his chopsticks and stood up directly, radiating a fierce aura that even caused guests passing him in the restaurant to involuntarily retreat.

"Since Brother Xiao has said so, let's go too."

"Once we take down those three Forbidden Grounds, I will personally go to the Never Look Back Merchant Guild to see just how mysterious they are!"

Looking at the Never Look Back Merchant Guild not far away, Pei Yu's eyes showed a hint of interest.
