429: Where did this guy even come from?

The show is about to begin!

Outside the Never Look Back Merchant Guild, numerous Cultivators gathered, both inside and out, all eyes wide as they watched a few people run out of the Trading Firm.

"My heavens, isn't that Lian Jiuxian, the first holy son of Divine Profound Mansion? Leng Feiyun of White Tiger Mansion is also there, so pale! Is it really okay to run around so brazenly in public?"

"Six top Sects, and four of their first holy sons made fools of themselves. It's truly a sight for sore eyes!"

"What are they? Look at the ones behind them, those are the Saints from the Immortal Great Sects of the Four Domains. It seems they've offended the Never Look Back Merchant Guild quite badly this time, even their clothes were stripped off."

"Hahaha! Let them lord it over the Inner Sea, I never thought they'd have a day like this. From now on, the names of these Saints will probably be more famous than their Sects!"

"Shen Tianxing is truly bold, not even giving Face to the Saints of these top Sects. Is he not afraid of offending the Sects behind them?"

"Who cares? We're here to watch the excitement. The rest is none of our business."

Lian Jiuxian, Wu Xiuya, and Leng Feiyun, these eight Saints, had ashen Faces. After being sent out the main door by Shen Liu with a palm strike, they were seen in such a sorry state by the numerous Cultivators, losing all Face.

But they had no choice. After leaving the Trading Firm, their restricted True Qi recovered, and they immediately chose to flee.

This time, the losses for Lian Jiuxian and the others were truly heavy.

The sumeru rings on their bodies weren't enough to compensate, and even their clothes were completely stripped off.

It wouldn't be long before their miserable state today spread throughout the entire Inner Sea... Eight Directions Restaurant, top floor.

Li Jiankai, Li Caiyi, and Ling Shu were once again seated here, their gazes fixed on the scene unfolding at the Never Look Back Merchant Guild in the distance, utterly dumbfounded.

"Pfft!!"

Zhong Yue of the Iron Mountain Divine Sect spat out the wine in his mouth, and a look of relief quickly appeared in his stunned eyes.

"Hahahaha..."

"Wu Xiuya, Lin Canghai, these guys are usually so arrogant, looking down on everyone. I never thought they'd actually be stripped naked today!"

"Let's see if they dare to brag in front of me next time!"

Among the Immortal Divine Sects of the Four Domains, besides their respective Alliances, the contention among the Saints has always been the most talked-about topic in the Four Domains.

The competition on the holy son ranking was especially fierce.

Wu Xiuya, Lin Canghai, Li Jiankai, and these others were already rivals. They would constantly clash whenever they met. To see their opponents in such a pathetic state, while shocking, also brought them a sense of schadenfreude.

"I already said that the Never Look Back Merchant Guild is not to be trifled with, and that Shen Tianxing is not to be trifled with either."

"Unfortunately, good advice is wasted on those determined to die!"

"These guys think too highly of themselves, believing that wherever they go, people will fear their status. They deserve this calamity."

Li Caiyi shook her head, retracting her gaze.

On her exquisitely beautiful Face, there was still some blush.

After all, that scene just now was truly a sight for sore eyes. Even a pure and unblemished Saintess like her couldn't completely remain calm.

She truly didn't understand anything.

"Shen Tianxing's assertiveness exceeded our imagination."

"Originally, we thought he was bluffing, but now it seems that he dares to punish Wu Xiuya and the others because he has something to rely on and is fearless!"

Ling Shu stroked his chin, the smooth skin reflecting a faint sheen, making his handsome Face appear even more refined.

This gesture added a touch of elegance to him.

Ye Wuming frowned slightly and said, "Where did this guy come from? We've never heard of a Trading Firm with that name in the Four Domains."

"Their way of doing things is reckless, and their methods seem unconventional, yet they are even more ruthless and difficult to deal with."

Everyone's hearts sank a little.

These past few days, they had been strolling around Holy Heaven City, investigating the Never Look Back Merchant Guild from various angles, and also looking into many of Shen Tianxing's past deeds.

But his past deeds were truly too outrageous and completely inconsistent with Shen Tianxing's current strength.

He came out of a Human Dynasty and entered the Inner Sea.

Then, with the strength of the Soul Palace Realm, he entered the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, and after coming out, he had already entered the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

Everything up to this point was normal, but to enter the Golden Body Realm in just over a year after coming out of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm?

Unheard of!

Such a Genius, even those monsters who currently hold the title of Emperor's Companion, couldn't achieve it at Shen Tianxing's age!

These mysteries were like being covered by layers of fog. No matter how much they racked their brains, they couldn't figure it out.

"Shen Tianxing is a strong-willed person; he must have something backing him."

"Since we don't know what he's up to right now, it's best to keep our distance from him."

"I don't want to end up like Wu Xiuya and the others, losing all Face."

"Everything, let's wait until the Elders arrive before we investigate further."

Li Jiankai put down the wine glass in his hand.

After experiencing this scene today, their apprehension towards Shen Tianxing deepened even further.

At the same time, they were also fortunate that the first choice they made after coming here was incredibly correct.

They didn't rashly go to the Never Look Back Merchant Guild to show off like Wu Xiuya and the others.

Otherwise, they might have made a fool of themselves even earlier than Wu Xiuya and the others.

"Oh, right, three days ago I received a secret report that someone saw the Hunyuan Immortal Palace's flying boat appear in the sea area of Holy Heaven City."

Suddenly, Li Caiyi changed the subject, causing several people to frown and look at her.

"Has the investigation into the battle on Feiyun Island yielded any results? Could it be that one made a move?"

Li Jiankai immediately thought of this possibility.

The battle on Feiyun Island resulted in countless casualties. When they received the news and went there, they only saw a large number of floating corpses, and the famous Feiyun Island had already been erased.

As for the 'one' he referred to, it was precisely the Emperor's Companion of the Hunyuan Immortal Palace, Sikong Wuji!

Too many experts died on Feiyun Island, numbering over a thousand!

Among them were several experts in the Golden Body Realm!

So many people being silently killed there could only be achieved by an expert far beyond their strength.

And such a figure, in the entire Inner Sea, besides the Sect Masters of One Sect, Three Palaces, Six Mansions, Twelve Caves, there were only Elder-level figures from the Four Domains.

And the Emperor's Companion was precisely one of the possibilities outside of these people!

Sikong Wuji's flying boat appearing there clearly indicated that he might have made a move.

"It seems Holy Heaven City has also piqued his interest, or rather, Shen Tianxing has piqued his interest."

"Whether Feiyun Island was erased by him or not is irrelevant."

"What's important is that his arrival, for us, probably brings no good."

They had a deep understanding of Sikong Wuji's power; he was an expert who surpassed the older generation of Elders!

He had already reached above the sixth stage of the Golden Body Realm, and his specific Realm was not even entirely clear to these Saints.

Such an expert suddenly arriving meant that their goal of gaining some desired benefits from Holy Heaven City faced a huge unexpected turn.

"There's no use talking about these things now; let's wait until the Elders arrive."

"If Sikong Wuji came, then so be it. It's not like there's no one who can deal with him. Our focus should still be on Shen Tianxing."
