98: Shen Tianxing has arrived, and he's so arrogant!
No matter how great your ambition, you're just content with a corner of the world!
If you were content to be a carefree prince, that would be fine, but you shouldn't have laid hands on Ye Qingyu!
You've truly provoked me!
Shen Tianxing shook his head, looking at Pei Wang City, which lay like a giant beast prostrate on the ground.
He specifically came to Pei Wang City for two reasons: firstly, to tell all demons and ghost Cultivators that he, Shen Tianxing, was here!
Secondly, he wanted to see what Prince Pei was truly up to!
Since he dared to target Ye Qingyu, he must have some ulterior motive!
The Empress might not be entirely without thoughts of making a move against her own uncle.
Shen Tianxing greatly hoped that Prince Pei would not disappoint him on this trip!
"My lord, we've arrived!"
Ling Feiyang was the person Shen Tianxing was most familiar with; when Shen Tianxing was absent, the entire team was led by him.
And it must be said, although his strength wasn't particularly outstanding, all daily arrangements were orderly.
One must know, the Three Divisions Experts, Demon Slaying Army, and Demon Extermination Army accompanying them this time were vast in number, with Vajra Realm Cultivators making up the vast majority.
There were dozens of experts above the Zizai Realm!
Among them, there were ten experts at the Half-Step Carefree Realm!
These ten people were fully responsible for leading all the experts below them!
It was not easy for Ling Feiyang to arrange everything so meticulously for so many people.
"Good, you take people and set up food and drink for me outside the South Gate. I will sit here and wait for the fish to bite!"
The so-called fish, of course, referred to all those who harbored ill intentions towards Shen Tianxing!
And also, the experts from Prince Pei's Mansion who were delivered to his doorstep!
Of course, Prince Pei too!
I've already come; you wouldn't hide and refuse to see me, would you?
"Yes, my lord, I'll arrange it immediately!"
He didn't understand Shen Tianxing's thoughts, but Ling Feiyang knew he just needed to follow orders.
Soon, as per Shen Tianxing's instructions, Ling Feiyang led some experts from the Demon Slaying Army and brazenly set up a banquet table outside the South Gate of Pei Wang City.
Shen Tianxing stepped down from the carriage and sat grandly in the tent.
This scene astonished all passing merchants and made many Cultivators stop and watch.
By setting up like this, he blocked the entire city gate passage!!!
"Who is this person? How dare he openly set up a banquet outside Pei Wang City? He even blocked the city gate; isn't he afraid of being thrown into Prince Pei's dungeon?"
"Lower your voice, these people are extraordinary! Didn't you see that the people standing in a circle are all from the Demon Slaying Army, Demon Extermination Army, and there are also Three Divisions Experts! This person is not simple!"
"What? What is his background? Even the Three Divisions Experts of Great Qi are waiting on him? Could he be some imperial noble?"
Inside and outside the city gate, many Cultivators and merchants were speculating about what important figure had arrived here!
"Audacious! Who are you people? How dare you block the city gate? Men, arrest them!!!"
Sure enough, the soldiers guarding the city gate quickly rushed over.
Dozens of soldiers, all strong and robust, possessed cultivation.
Each of them exuded a strong Qi, these were soldiers who had come from the battlefield!
They were all Prince Pei's men, and they didn't care about the identity of the newcomers; anyone who dared to cause trouble here would be taken down!
However, they were destined to hit a brick wall today!
"Presumptuous!!"
"Grand Minister of Justice Shen Tianxing is here; who dares to act recklessly!"
Ling Feiyang's face turned cold, and he sharply raised the token in his hand; as the iron plate representing the Martial Suppression Division was revealed, it immediately intimidated the soldiers!
Are you kidding me!
The Three Divisions of Great Qi, their prestige was far-reaching!
Who didn't know the name of the Martial Suppression Division?
No matter what prince you were, you had to be wary of them!
After all, the Three Departments represented the Empress's face when they were outside!
At present, what made the soldiers of Pei Wang City most wary was not the people of the Three Departments!
But the name Shen Tianxing!
"What? He, he is Shen Tianxing!!!"
"Quick, report to the Prince immediately!"
Shen Tianxing has arrived!!!
This news spread quickly like a great earthquake!
The passing merchants were one thing, but those Jianghu experts, some of whom were Sect Disciples, and others Cultivators from other Imperial Dynasties, their underlying forces were all very wary of Shen Tianxing and even more concerned about his whereabouts; many people were looking for him!
Since the battle in the Luoying Mountain Range, Shen Tianxing had vanished without a trace, impossible to find!
Unexpectedly, he had actually come to Pei Wang City!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh... Outside the long sky, figures of Cultivators appeared rapidly, and various experts from Pei Wang City gathered!
There were people from Righteous Path Sects, and also people from other Imperial Dynasties.
"It really is him!"
"What is he trying to do by blocking the road outside Pei Wang City?"
"I heard this person acts unpredictably; could he be trying to intimidate Prince Pei by doing this?"
"He's really too arrogant; Prince Pei is not good-tempered! Moreover, I recently heard that experts from various demon and ghost Cultivator Sects are frequently appearing in West Continent, and they are all looking for him!"
"Hehe... Wouldn't it be even better if it attracted demons and ghost Cultivators? Then there would be people to deal with Shen Tianxing!"
Many experts sneered secretly.
Shen Tianxing's grand display, not hiding his whereabouts at all, was it due to his confidence in his own strength? Or was he truly not afraid of death?
Surely he wouldn't think he could rest easy in Pei Wang City, would he?
Everyone had different thoughts, but it did not affect Shen Tianxing's leisurely mood at all... On the other side!
The news from outside the South Gate quickly reached Prince Pei's Mansion!
In the courtyard.
Prince Pei was sitting in a pavilion, quietly playing chess with Lin Xiuquan.
Around them, there were guards every five steps and sentries every ten steps, all soldiers with cultivation.
A butler quickly walked to the outside of the pavilion, bowed respectfully, and reported.
"Your Highness, news has come that Shen Tianxing has arrived!"
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Prince Pei and Lin Xiuquan's hands, which were playing chess, immediately stopped.
"Has he finally arrived? Where is he staying?"
Prince Pei said indifferently, picked up another chess piece, and placed it heavily on the board!
"You've lost again."
Lin Xiuquan smiled helplessly and dropped the chess piece in his hand into the container.
"He's just outside the South Gate; he's set up a banquet, I don't know what he intends to do."
Hmm?
Prince Pei and Lin Xiuquan exchanged glances, both showing surprise.
"It seems he wants to give the Prince a warning shot!"
Lin Xiuquan picked up the teacup beside him, a cold smile on his face.
Daring to block the gate outside Pei Wang City, no matter what he intended, it was a disrespect to Prince Pei.
Prince Pei's eyes flickered, and he said indifferently, "Just a mere Grand Minister of Justice, it's troublesome enough for Elder Lin to go and meet him."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
How cautious was Prince Pei?
He had operated in West Continent for many years, keeping a low profile, precisely because he didn't want to attract attention!
Moreover, behind Shen Tianxing stood the Empress!
Shen Tianxing blocking the road so brazenly outside the city probably had other motives!
If he couldn't figure it out, he simply wouldn't meet him!
