637: Lei Shan! That old fox, he's seen plenty of people like him.

Shen Tianxing was not surprised at all that the other party knew him.

After all, it was impossible for someone who had been observing him from the shadows for a long time not to know him.

Nor would he have specifically sent someone to deliver an invitation to him.

"Are you Lei Shan?"

Shen Tianxing's words startled Lei Shan. His opening remark was very impolite, even revealing a sense of superiority.

It had been many years since Lei Shan had heard such a tone from an outsider.

But precisely because of this, Shen Tianxing's image in his eyes became even more mysterious.

An ordinary person would surely know his status within this Sacred Domain.

Yet, Shen Tianxing still addressed him in such a manner, which meant he had the confidence to do so!

"This old man is indeed Lei Shan, City Lord of Storm City. Young Master Shen is young and promising; seeing him today, he is truly extraordinary."

Lei Shan's words carried a hint of politeness.

Treating different people in different ways was Lei Shan's secret to remaining the City Lord of Storm City for many years.

Clearly, Shen Tianxing possessed such a status.

Shen Tianxing nodded slightly, then sat down casually on a chair.

To Lei Shan, this action was Shen Tianxing displaying his extraordinary nature.

"You don't need to speak to me like that. I am from Storm City, and I am merely passing through."

Passing through?

Lei Shan, however, did not believe this point.

Storm City was not a good place in this Ling Province.

In fact, it could be said that the environment was harsh, full of dangers everywhere.

No one would just casually pass through here.

Coming to Storm City must be for some purpose, and in Lei Shan's view, Shen Tianxing was no exception.

Upon hearing this, Lei Shan knew in his heart that Shen Tianxing was unwilling to reveal his purpose.

Of course, he didn't care much about it now.

His purpose in inviting Shen Tianxing here was very simple.

Firstly, to ascertain his true strength.

Secondly, to find clues about the Boundary Domain through him.

It was widely rumored that Shen Tianxing had obtained the Boundary Domain. Was this truly the case? Lei Shan could not guarantee this.

Even the information gathered by his own subordinates, he couldn't be sure of.

Who knew if it was false news released by some major power?

"Young Master Shen, I, Lei Shan, hold some status in this Storm City. Today, I invited Young Master Shen here with sincerity, wishing to get to know him."

"As long as Young Master Shen is in Storm City, if you have any problems, you can always come to This Official Lei."

This was the signal Lei Shan was sending out.

He was also conveying his goodwill.

Of course, the main goal was to lower Shen Tianxing's guard against him.

This would also make it more convenient for him to inquire about the Boundary Domain later.

An old fox.

Shen Tianxing shook his head slightly in his heart.

He had seen many people like this.

Whatever Lei Shan was hiding, at least in Shen Tianxing's view, his intentions were definitely not simple.

Of course, this had nothing to do with him.

He also had his own purpose in coming here today.

"City Lord Lei's kindness, This Official Shen accepts."

"This Official Shen does indeed have some questions. I wonder if City Lord Lei can help me answer them?"

Shen Tianxing said bluntly, facing Lei Shan's attitude without ceremony.

Whatever Lei Shan's intentions were, Shen Tianxing didn't care.

He wanted to get the information he desired from Lei Shan.

"Young Master Shen, feel free to ask anything you wish to know. Lei Shan has been here for hundreds of thousands of years, so he still knows quite a bit."

Hearing Shen Tianxing's words, Lei Shan was overjoyed.

He wasn't afraid of Shen Tianxing asking questions, nor was he afraid of Shen Tianxing making demands.

He was only afraid that Shen Tianxing wouldn't say anything at all, which would be disastrous.

As the saying goes, only those with desires will reveal their intentions.

"Then, City Lord Lei, could you tell This Official Shen in detail about the Forbidden Land Battlefield?"

How many years had the Forbidden Land Battlefield existed? He heard it only opened once every hundred thousand years.

What specific treasures would appear inside? Shen Tianxing had heard many versions.

But for him, were they true or false?

He would definitely get more accurate information from Lei Shan.

And he could also gauge the strength of other factions from Lei Shan.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, a hint of joy flashed in Lei Shan's heart.

Then, he waved his hand, and someone brought wine and dishes.

"Young Master Shen, this Forbidden Land Battlefield has a long history. Too many things have happened inside. Why don't we sit down and chat slowly?"

"Very well, then This Official Shen will respectfully obey."

The two sat down at a stone table.

Looking out, outside were layers of clouds and mountains, and flashes of lightning.

The entire Storm City seemed to be enveloped by the thunder.

Such a scene.

Shen Tianxing had been admiring it for a long time recently.

He had long grown accustomed to it.

Soon, the wine and dishes were served.

Lei Shan generously poured a cup of wine for each of them.

"Young Master Shen, this is a unique fine wine from my Storm City. Please have a taste."

In the delicate wine glass, there was a clear spring.

Faint blue light could be vaguely seen flickering within it.

It was as if lightning was brewing inside; the seemingly calm surface of the wine held hidden depths.

Shen Tianxing had tasted countless fine wines in this world, and he was genuinely interested to see what was special about this fine wine from Storm City.

Shen Tianxing picked up the cup, made a toasting gesture, and drank it all in one gulp.

In an instant, he seemed to feel a current flowing through him, tingling and numb, yet carrying a cool, warm current that surged from below directly to his spiritual mind!

Good wine!

Since Shen Tianxing had arrived in this Sacred Domain, he hadn't really tasted any decent wine.

This fine wine from Storm City gave him a pleasant surprise.

"The wine is excellent. City Lord Lei's sincerity, This Official Shen feels it."

That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Lei Shan was overjoyed.

"It's good that Young Master Shen likes it. When Young Master Shen leaves, I'll have my subordinates pack more for Young Master Shen to savor."

"Then I thank City Lord Lei."

The two exchanged pleasantries and chatted casually.

Finally, they discussed the Forbidden Land Battlefield.

"The Forbidden Land Battlefield originates from an ancient Legacy. To be more precise, it is actually the place where deities fell."

The place where deities fell.

This was another version Shen Tianxing had heard.

It was even more mysterious than what he had heard outside.

He adopted an attentive posture, watching Lei Shan speak eloquently.

"In ancient times, deities existed in the world; they could live forever, while Cultivators could not. To obtain the method of eternal life, countless Sects and countless masters joined forces, hoping to obtain the secret of eternal life from the deities."

Therefore, an unprecedented war of deities erupted in this Lin Province.

"I once accidentally obtained some information from some ancient ruins."

"This war of deities involved not just one deity, but several deities that existed in the Sacred Domain at that time."

"After that war, this place became the Forbidden Land Battlefield."
