639: It's not that we can't talk about it.

Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Tianxing walked through the streets of Storm City.

He had been in the Sacred Domain for quite some time, and the more he understood it, the more Shen Tianxing realized the numerous mysteries within.

The appearance of the Divine Ruins was the most unexpected thing for him.

At least, he hadn't known he would come into contact with the secrets of ancient times so quickly.

He was becoming increasingly interested in the Sacred Domain!

There were more and more Cultivators in Storm City; Cultivators in various strange clothes walked the streets, and countless unique races coexisted peacefully in Storm City!

The rumor of a million races in the Sacred Domain was truly not an exaggeration.

Not far from Lei Shan, Shen Tianxing suddenly stopped, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Ever since I left the City Lord's Mansion, you've been following me. What's your purpose? It's time to come out and state it, isn't it?"

Shen Tianxing had long since noticed someone tracking him.

Moreover, the person tracking him was incredibly powerful, just a step away from the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm!

If such a person appeared in Storm City under normal circumstances, it would definitely alert the City Lord's Mansion, as such a master wouldn't appear casually. If he came to Storm City with ill intentions, it would be trouble.

But now was a very special time.

Storm City was currently open, and an unknown number of masters from the Sacred Domain's Thirteen Continents had arrived, with countless more still on their way.

Even a strong person like Lei Shan wouldn't dare to offend so many factions.

The Forbidden Land Battlefield was something any Cultivator in the Sacred Domain could participate in. If Lei Shan didn't open Storm City at this time, he would Face unpleasant consequences.

Therefore, Half-step Heaven and Earth King Realm Cultivators were no longer uncommon in Storm City.

As Shen Tianxing's words fell, the Void Realm vibrated, and a figure twisted out of the obscure shadows, slowly drifting out like a wisp of smoke.

"Young Master Shen is indeed a young genius; no wonder he was able to step into the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm at such a young age. This Old Man is truly impressed."

The somewhat distorted figure performed a bow, his voice like cold ice, devoid of any emotion.

Shen Tianxing glanced at him, not feeling surprised at all.

After all, the Sacred Domain was unlike other places; there were too many masters here, and all sorts of methods were common. He must have been targeted by someone.

Shen Tianxing was already accustomed to such things; hadn't he been targeted ever since he left the Outer Sea?

"State your intention. If you make this Young Master unhappy, you might just get a beating today."

Shen Tianxing was direct, not giving the other party any Face at all.

Who cares if you're trying to act mysterious?

Who cares which faction you're from? If you displease me, a beating will be the least of your worries.

The distorted figure paused, clearly not expecting Shen Tianxing to speak like that, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.

After all, he was facing a young Cultivator in the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm. What reason would such a young Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm expert have not to be a bit arrogant?

Not attacking him directly was already considered polite!

"Young Master Shen's kindness noted, this Old Man won't beat around the bush."

The black shadow mused for a moment, then said, "Our Clan Chief wishes to invite Young Master Shen for a discussion. Our tribe comes from the Ice Cold Abyss."

He believed few people didn't know the significance of the words "Ice Cold Abyss."

Especially its significance in this Spirit Continent; anyone who had been to the Spirit Continent would certainly know it!

Shen Tianxing had indeed heard of it!

Although he hadn't been here for long, he had heard of this tribe multiple times and knew quite a bit about it.

This was a tribe on the same level as Storm City, but unlike Storm City, which Lei Shan controlled, the Cultivators in Storm City were not all under Lei Shan's command; there were many other factions rooted here.

However, the Ice Cold Abyss belonged to a single tribe; all the Cultivators within it were of the same clan, and their Clan Chief was the supreme leader!

He could completely dominate everything in the Ice Cold Abyss.

At the same time, Shen Tianxing also knew that Storm City and the Ice Cold Abyss were considered neighboring territories, and the two factions had a significant conflict dating back hundreds of thousands of years. Lei Shan's arrival had pushed this conflict to its peak!

Hundreds of thousands of years of strife had completely turned the Ice Cold Abyss and Storm City into sworn enemies, with no room for reconciliation.

Shen Tianxing had just come out of Lei Shan's City Lord's Mansion when he was approached by someone from the Ice Cold Abyss. Clearly, the Ice Cold Abyss did not want this Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm Cultivator to get too close to Lei Shan.

Was it cooperation?

Or a threat?

Shen Tianxing didn't care about these things; at least for now, the person from the Ice Cold Abyss was polite and hadn't done anything to displease him.

It wasn't impossible to talk.

Dealing with one was dealing, and dealing with two was the same!

Shen Tianxing wasn't their subordinate anyway, so he didn't care who he interacted with.

Moreover, since the Ice Cold Abyss had existed for such a long time, even longer than Storm City, perhaps it knew more about the Forbidden Land Battlefield?

Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

After a brief thought, Shen Tianxing said, "It seems your intelligence is very keen. You knew Lei Shan invited me, and immediately couldn't wait to seek me out."

"What does your Clan Chief want with me? I'm afraid I don't have time to visit your tribe right now."

Shen Tianxing didn't plan to go to the Ice Cold Abyss, not because he was afraid, but because he had more important things to do.

He felt he needed to go into seclusion; his Realm had shown a slight tremor, and there were some changes on the God-Slaying Platform in his mind, requiring some time for seclusion and exploration.

Naturally, he couldn't go to the Ice Cold Abyss.

Upon hearing this, the black shadow immediately felt it was very tricky.

The Clan Chief's order was to invite Shen Tianxing back and absolutely not let him get involved with Lei Shan. This concerned the long-standing balance between the Ice Cold Abyss and Storm City.

Once Storm City gained a powerhouse like Shen Tianxing, it would disrupt the balance, which would be absolutely unbearable for the Ice Cold Abyss.

Initially, seeing Shen Tianxing's attitude, he felt there was hope of bringing this young man back, but Shen Tianxing's words made him feel very uncomfortable.

He didn't have time to consider why Shen Tianxing was unwilling to go to the Ice Cold Abyss now.

But he absolutely had to find out if there was any cooperative relationship between Shen Tianxing and Lei Shan.

This was too important for their tribe!

"Young Master Shen, to be frank, this Old Man also doesn't know what the Clan Chief wants to say by inviting you to the tribe."

"However, the Clan Chief said that Young Master Shen is our esteemed guest, and hopes to reach some cooperation with Young Master Shen. I wonder if Young Master Shen is willing?"

This was a test; as long as Shen Tianxing answered, he would know what to do!
