427: Tell me, how do you want to resolve this?!

Boom!!!

A wave of Qi swept out, and a bursting sound came from the air. Immediately after, Wu Xiuya and Lian Jiuxian's bodies seemed to be struck in the chest by a heavy hammer, and both of them were directly forced back several steps.

“Hm!”

A look of horror flashed in Wu Xiuya and Lian Jiuxian's eyes. They forcefully swallowed the blood that had reached their throats, their true essence surging within them like wild horses, restless and uneasy.

Their Faces were flushed crimson like blood, and dense beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

“So strong!”

Shen Liu walked step by step, unhurriedly, as if everything that had just happened had never occurred.

But who among those present wasn't a master?

Neither Wu Xiuya nor Lian Jiuxian saw Shen Liu make a move, yet he had forcefully repelled them with just a wisp of Aura.

Their apprehension towards him immediately reached its peak!

The Never Look Back Merchant Guild, a place where a shopkeeper who maintains order actually possesses strength far surpassing theirs—how vast must the power behind it be?

It was unfathomable!

Besides Wu Xiuya and Lian Jiuxian, Leng Feiyun, Long Qian, Chen Yuantu, Lin Canghai, and Zhao Wubing all instinctively stood beside them, looking at Shen Liu as if facing a formidable enemy.

“Sixth Master!”

“Greetings, Sixth Master!”

The Cultivators around, seeing Shen Liu, all breathed a sigh of relief and then greeted him warmly.

Though Shen Liu had a fearsome reputation, within the Never Look Back Merchant Guild, he was known for his good temper. As long as no one caused trouble, he was very approachable.

Many Cultivators who frequented the place had good relations with him.

Shen Liu smiled and nodded, his gaze, however, firmly fixed on Lian Jiuxian and Wu Xiuya's groups.

Run?

That was impossible.

With This Official Shen already out, it would be difficult for Lian Jiuxian and Wu Xiuya to retreat unscathed.

The reason he had injured the two of them immediately upon his appearance was to deter these so-called Saints.

To let them know that this was the Never Look Back Merchant Guild, not a place for them to throw tantrums, or to leverage the powers behind them!

The so-called Saints of Immortal Great Sects were renowned outside.

But here, it wouldn't work!

“You are Shen Liu!”

After a short period of circulating his Qi, Wu Xiuya suppressed the restless surging of true essence in his body, knowing that the other party had held back.

Otherwise, they might not have gotten off so lightly today!

“Indeed, it is This Official Shen!”

Shen Liu maintained a genial smile, looked at them, and said, “Saints, I should welcome your visit to the Trading Firm.”

“But given your actions today, even if I wanted to extend some hospitality, I couldn't.”

“Tell me, how do you intend to resolve today's matter?”

Resolve?

No one was a fool; Shen Liu's words simply meant he wanted compensation.

Intelligent people would immediately understand the underlying meaning. Trying to gloss over it would be foolish.

“What explanation do you want?”

“Aren't you just trying to make us pay? Speak, how much do you want? Ten thousand catties of divine marrow should be enough to compensate you for several Trading Firms like this!”

Before Wu Xiuya and Lian Jiuxian could even speak, the burly, muscular, and simple-minded Lin Canghai rushed out first and started shouting.

The Heavenly Demon Sect's people primarily focused on Body Refining, pushing the Physical Body to its extreme to break all techniques under heaven!

They were known for acting first and thinking later. He might have been the only Saint among them who didn't understand the meaning behind Shen Liu's words.

Since his debut, Lin Canghai had swept aside all opposition, relying on his powerful Physical Body Divine Ability to climb into the top hundred of the Four Great Domains' Saint rankings, having long developed his own overbearing personality.

He completely disregarded Shen Liu's words.

Wu Xiuya and the others all frowned but did not speak up proactively.

Shen Liu's strength was immense, and they were still wary. Compensation was unavoidable, but to just pay it out like this—wouldn't that be losing their own Face?

They definitely needed to see the other party's appetite.

Lin Canghai's opening offer of ten thousand catties of divine marrow was a grand gesture anywhere in the Inner Sea!

Ten thousand catties of divine marrow!!

The eyes of the surrounding Cultivators watching the show turned red!

This money was truly easy to earn!

divine marrow was an essential item for Cultivators' cultivation, its value extraordinary.

“Ten thousand catties of divine marrow?”

Shen Liu laughed heartily, clapped his hands, and said, “Indeed, a grand gesture. You Immortal Great Sects are truly rich.”

Hearing Shen Liu's words, Wu Xiuya and the others all raised an eyebrow, feeling disdain.

It seemed this powerful Golden Body Realm expert was nothing more than that, short-sighted.

“However…”

Before these Saints could react, Shen Liu suddenly wiped the smile from his Face.

“Ten thousand catties of divine marrow, and you think that's enough to settle today's matter? Are you perhaps thinking too much?”

“How many things in the Trading Firm were damaged by you today? Do you really think it can be so easily dismissed?”

“Are your sights really that shallow? If so, then all of you should stay here today!”

A hint of coldness entered Shen Liu's words.

One could hear a trace of bloodthirst in them; it was clear he had no intention of letting this matter go easily.

Upon hearing this, the Faces of both Wu Xiuya and Lian Jiuxian's factions darkened.

These Saints, wherever they went, weren't they always highly regarded?

Who dared not give them some Face?

Even Golden Body Realm experts, upon learning of the powers behind them, would have to show some respect, right?

“Sixth Master Shen, out of respect, I call you Sixth Master.”

“By doing this, the Never Look Back Merchant Guild, is Shen Tianxing not afraid of incurring public wrath? Can he withstand the fury of our Immortal Great Sects?”

Chen Yuantu stopped the hot-tempered Lin Canghai, who was about to erupt, stepped forward, and spoke unhurriedly.

They came here not to offend the Never Look Back Merchant Guild, but as high-level representatives of the various Immortal Great Sects in the Four Domains, to scout ahead.

They knew they had gone too far today and were willing to compensate.

But Shen Liu's exorbitant demands meant he was not giving Face to their Immortal Great Sects!

Even if they truly fell out, they weren't afraid.

“If our White Tiger Mansion, Qilin Mansion, Divine Profound Mansion, and Black Tortoise Mansion don't compensate, what can you do?”

“To keep us here, you'll have to see if you, Sixth Master Shen, have the guts!”

Leng Feiyun's expression was indifferent, a wisp of fierce Aura emanating from him, his Golden Body Realm Aura sweeping out without reservation.

This was already on the verge of a complete fallout.

Even though Shen Liu had already displayed his terrifying strength, it wouldn't be easy to subdue these proud Saints.

Moreover, in the eyes of these Saints, no matter how strong Shen Liu was, could he really keep all of them here?

Even if he could, no one would truly dare to do so!

Whether it was these four Sects or the several Immortal Great Sects of the Four Domains, none of them were easy to deal with!

They were certain that Shen Liu would never truly dare to fall out with them.

Speaking like this was merely to demand more compensation!
