477: If you are strong enough, who dares to act recklessly?

The Never Look Back Merchant Guild's reputation is now unmatched in the Inner Sea.

How large is its building?

It encompasses one-tenth of Holy Heaven City!

Such a vast territory could only be commanded by the current Shen Tianxing!

In the past, no force would make its territory so large; besides the storefronts for trade, the surrounding area had been completely enclosed.

Inside, pavilions, towers, waterside kiosks, and stone bridges were everywhere, and even a lake was enclosed within, making it incredibly luxurious.

After receiving Shen Tianxing's decree, the various Sect Masters all came to the Trading Firm and met Shen Liu.

Shen Liu led everyone into the Trading Firm, where they took their seats in a massive pavilion, awaiting Shen Tianxing's arrival.

These Cultivators, who were once renowned and notorious in the Inner Sea, were usually formidable individuals.

But today, as they sat in this immense hall, they were treading on thin ice, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Buzz!

Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, a flash of light appeared at the head of the main hall.

Everyone was startled and rose, looking towards the head seat.

At this moment, no one else but Shen Tianxing would appear here.

"Greetings, Mr. Shen!"

The voices were grand, echoing through the vast hall; some people were excited and shouted particularly loudly.

Of course, it was not ruled out that some people did not want to come but had no choice but to.

The resentment in their hearts seemed to be shouted out along with their voices.

At Shen Tianxing's current Realm, only one step away from the Immortal Realm, it was not difficult for him to guess the thoughts of all the Cultivators present.

There were those who were terrified, those who were bewildered, and those who were at a loss, and of course, there were also those who harbored resentment towards him but dared not voice it.

He did not take these emotions to heart.

The Inner Sea was just like this; the strong were respected. In the past, these people outside also suppressed others in the same way.

As long as your strength is sufficient, who would dare to be presumptuous?

Who would dare to bare their fangs and claws before you?

To put it harshly, even their farts would smell sweet!

When Shen Tianxing first arrived in the Inner Sea, he also had to lie low and not show his Face, gradually raising his strength to the Golden Body Realm, enough to awe everyone, before reappearing.

This was the confidence brought by strength!

In the Face of absolute strength, these people who were once high and mighty all had to look up to him.

"Please be seated. I have been in the Inner Sea for over a year now, and I am not very familiar with my fellow Cultivators present."

"However, since you have all come to see me, I presume it is concerning the future direction of the Inner Sea."

"Today, I specifically invited you all to discuss this."

Shen Tianxing smiled, and in his words, he still gave them enough Face, not immediately using his power to suppress them.

Because there was no need; that would seem too undignified.

"Mr. Shen, you are too kind. All Sects in the Inner Sea now look to you as their leader. As long as Mr. Shen gives the word, all our Sects will fully support you, never retreating half a step!"

The Sect Master of Profound Heaven Sect was the first to stand up, saying with a hint of flattery.

The Cultivators present cursed inwardly, calling him an old fox!

This guy was clearly trying to leave a good impression on Shen Tianxing, and obviously, his words were pleasant to hear, and Shen Tianxing was pleased to hear them.

"Sect Master Ren speaks well; the Inner Sea should indeed be like this."

"The Four Domains Immortal Great Sects are nothing to fear. Even if they truly come knocking, I have a way to deal with them. Everyone, there is no need to panic."

How could Shen Tianxing not know their intentions for coming here?

He also had no intention of hiding anything; he would say whatever needed to be said.

Even if it touched upon their sore spots, it was no big deal.

He was strong, so he called the shots; if others had opinions, they had to keep them to themselves!

With Sect Master Ren being so direct, the power holders of other forces naturally did not want to fall behind.

Luo Bing, the Sect Master of Yunxiao Sect, rose and said, "Mr. Shen, there are many Four Domains Immortal Great Sects, and experts are as numerous as clouds. Although the strength of our Inner Sea heroes is not weak, in terms of Golden Body Realm experts, we are certainly inferior."

"Coupled with numerous Sects fighting individually and rampant evildoers, we need you to preside over the overall situation."

"The Inner Sea can no longer withstand the devastation of the Four Domains Immortal Great Sects!"

Luo Bing's words resonated deeply with all the Cultivators present, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Because they had no choice.

Although the experts of the Four Domains Immortal Great Sects in the Dragon Tomb Land all died at Shen Tianxing's hands, those Immortal Great Sects would not reason with the people of the Inner Sea.

Out of anger, they would surely purge the Inner Sea with blood and completely control it!

If they did not want to lose everything they had now, they could only rely on Shen Tianxing to deal with them!

Shen Tianxing, of course, knew this.

Therefore, he did not intend to beat around the bush with them today.

"The strength of Inner Sea Cultivators is not weak, and there are many Forbidden Grounds. Catching up with those Immortal Great Sects is actually not difficult."

"But for now, we still need time."

"To avoid conflict with the many Immortal Great Sects, the only way is to prevent Four Domains experts from descending upon the Inner Sea!"

Shen Tianxing said.

"Mr. Shen, to prevent experts from the Four Domains Immortal Great Sects, how easy is that? There are quite a few entrances to the Four Domains."

"Unless..."

A Clan Chief of a great clan spoke in a deep voice, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It seemed... possible?

Many Cultivators present were from the Inner Sea. If they hadn't understood Shen Tianxing's words before, but with this Clan Chief's unintentional remark, they suddenly understood.

Luo Bing's eyes lit up, and he excitedly said, "Mr. Shen, do you mean to close the teleportation channels between the Inner Sea and the Four Domains?"

Close the teleportation channels?

This was unheard of!

Many Cultivators had never even heard of it.

"Close the Inner Sea teleportation channels? Is that even possible? I never knew those teleportation channels could be closed!"

"Yes, I'm hearing about it for the first time too."

"But since Mr. Shen said it, and even Sect Master Luo Bing said so, I'm afraid there really is a way!"

"If the channels are closed, the Four Domains Immortal Great Sects won't be able to descend, so wouldn't we also be unable to go to the Four Domains?"

"No, I heard it's still possible to go, but it won't be so easy to come back."

"..."

In the hall, many prominent Cultivators began to discuss.

The method Shen Tianxing proposed was too sudden.

The method was very good, but the thought of not being able to leave the Inner Sea made everyone a bit uncomfortable.

"Indeed, close the channels, cultivate diligently, and when the channels between the Inner Sea and the Four Domains are reopened in the future, that will be the time for Inner Sea Cultivators to make a name for themselves in the Four Domains."

"Now, do you still need to worry?"

Shen Tianxing said patiently.

The Sect Masters of Sects like Yunxiao Sect and Feiyun Sect were all shrewd individuals; they immediately understood that Shen Tianxing could probably really achieve this!

"Mr. Shen, with your words, I, Luo, am relieved."

"What is needed to close the channels, please feel free to speak. Yunxiao Sect will definitely assist with all its might!"

"Our Feiyun Sect too!"

"Purple Cloud Sect also has some collections!"

"Our Xueyue Sect is willing to contribute everything!"

Just one sentence from Shen Tianxing made all the Sect Masters who had been worried for a month put down their concerns.
