99: A person's name, a tree's shadow! That's too domineering!!!

"What an imposing Aura Lord Shen Tianxing has!"

"He stands alone outside Pei Wang City, with so many Cultivators gathered here, eagerly watching, yet no one dares to take a single step forward!"

"The youngest Grand Expert of the Carefree Realm in Great Qi, a favorite of the Empress, especially now that he commands so many Three Divisions Experts. Who would dare to provoke him? Are they tired of living?"

"Prince Pei's Mansion hasn't sent anyone out for so long, probably because they're unsure of Shen Tianxing's intentions for coming."

"Is even Prince Pei wary of him?"

"What's so strange? Look at all these people, who dares to utter a sound?"

Outside the city, over ten thousand people had already gathered. Boats on the river docks couldn't even berth, and the roads were densely packed.

In a place where tens of thousands gathered, there was surprisingly little sound to be heard, at most only faint whispers!

This was solely because they were intimidated by Shen Tianxing's Aura.

No one dared to speak loudly!

...On the main road outside the South City, maple forests stretched out. As autumn deepened, the maple leaves turned yellow and fell in abundance.

The wind rose, carrying the remnants of leaves, creating a poetic scene.

Suddenly!

A carriage galloped into view, escorted by over a dozen armored soldiers with long sabers at their waists, riding alongside.

A banner fluttered in the wind on the carriage!

A large 'Pei' character, entwined with two golden Dragons, exuded an imposing Aura!

It represented the nobility of the imperial family, and even more, the undeniable power of Prince Pei in this West Continent!

"Lord, they're here!"

Seeing the carriage, Ling Feiyang whispered to Shen Tianxing.

Shen Tianxing raised his eyes and slowly put down the wine cup in his hand.

So, they finally arrived?

His 'waiting by the stump for a rabbit' strategy indeed worked.

He just wondered what Prince Pei would do once he realized that Shen Tianxing had blocked his people and discovered his little scheme.

He was rather looking forward to it!

"Whoa!!!"

The coachman was an old hand; approaching Pei Wang City, he quickly brought the carriage to a halt.

Good heavens!

Why were so many people gathered outside Pei Wang City?

And who were those people blocking the city gate?

"Who dares to block the road here? Do you not recognize Prince Pei's carriage! Hurry and move aside!"

The soldier had an extraordinary Aura, his eyes sharp and keen like an eagle.

In the West Continent, no one failed to recognize this banner, and no one foolish enough dared to disrespect the owner of this banner!

Unless he was tired of living!

Inside the tent.

Shen Tianxing poured wine for himself, his voice leisurely rising.

"Prince Pei's carriage? It's your Prince Pei's carriage that I'm blocking!"

How audacious!!!

Upon hearing this, the Faces of several soldiers instantly turned cold.

"How dare you!"

"You dare to block Prince Pei's carriage!"

"I think you have a death wish!"

The soldier's gaze was sharp, and the saber at his waist was drawn three inches!

He intended to strike without another word!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, if Prince Pei's carriage was blocked, wouldn't it cause Prince Pei to lose Face?

"General Liu! Wait!"

Just as the soldier was about to act, the soldier responsible for guarding the city gate quickly ran forward.

The entire Pei Wang City now knew of Shen Tianxing's arrival, but these soldiers who had been out on duty were unaware. The most crucial point was that while this was Prince Pei's carriage, the person inside was not Prince Pei!

"What? He is Shen Tianxing!?"

Indeed, as soon as Thousand-Household Commander Liu heard the soldier's explanation, he was completely stunned.

How could the renowned Shen Tianxing appear here?

He couldn't figure it out!

But this didn't diminish the shock in their hearts. The saber that was slightly drawn in his hand now felt somewhat unsteady, and cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his palms.

Nervous!

That's right, they were starting to get nervous.

A person's name, a tree's shadow!

Shen Tianxing didn't even realize he was already so famous!

This was not surprising; starting from Tianyuan City, he had engaged in continuous combat, slaying too many demons, monsters, and Prodigies from ghost Cultivator Sects. Even Wenjian Sect was destroyed because of him!

His portrait had been circulating these past few days.

The people from Prince Pei's Mansion must have seen his portrait, and now that his identity was mentioned, they must have recognized him!

Thousand-Household Commander Liu looked at Shen Tianxing, his eyes quickly flickering, wondering if the news had leaked?

"So it's Lord Shen. Lord Shen's reputation precedes him, and this humble general failed to recognize you. It is truly a grave offense. Please, Lord, do not blame me!"

After learning what had happened and knowing Shen Tianxing's identity, Thousand-Household Commander Liu wisely chose to bow his head.

Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to oppose Shen Tianxing in front of so many people present!

The Grand Minister of Justice of Great Qi was a third-rank official, and Shen Tianxing also held an imperial edict, allowing him to command various armies as if the Empress herself were present!

Let alone a mere Thousand-Household Commander like him; even if Prince Pei were here, he would have to show deference.

Thud!

Shen Tianxing put down his wine cup and stood up tall.

With his movement, the eyes of many Cultivators present all twitched.

This guy really was here specifically to intercept people!

Shen Tianxing stepped out of the tent, his cold gaze and the sharp Aura emanating from his body were like a saber slowly being drawn from its sheath, making people dare not look directly at him, filled with intense oppressive force.

At this moment, everyone felt the Aura that Shen Tianxing exuded!

Thousand-Household Commander Liu and his soldiers felt a massive mountain pressing down on them as Shen Tianxing walked towards them, and they were sweating all over.

They had no idea what Shen Tianxing would do!

In reality, they were overthinking it!

How could Shen Tianxing bother with them?

These minor minions weren't worthy!

Clang, clang, clang!!!

Shen Tianxing didn't even need to speak. A flash of saber light, and Ling Feiyang, Situ Feng, and Wu Yixing immediately took action.

The Three Divisions Experts made their move, swift and efficient, directly subduing everyone in a single exchange!

"Kneel!!!"

Thousand-Household Commander Liu and the others had no time to react. Cold, gleaming long sabers were already at their throats!

Everyone knelt in a row!

Hiss!!!

A collective gasp of cold air swept through the scene!

"This... this is too overbearing. He doesn't even say a word of pleasantries? They're Prince Pei's people after all!"

"...He has the right to be overbearing!"

"With the Empress backing him and his own formidable strength, such a person, let alone Prince Pei's subordinates, wouldn't need to give any Face even to Prince Pei himself, would he?"

At this moment, no one dared to doubt that Shen Tianxing would fear Prince Pei!

If it were anyone else, who would dare to directly act against Prince Pei's subordinates outside this Pei Wang City?

"Lord Shen? What wrong have we committed? By doing this, where do you place His Highness's dignity!"

Thousand-Household Commander Liu's Face was greatly alarmed. He hadn't expected Shen Tianxing to be so overbearing.

But he was a clever man!

At this moment, besides invoking Prince Pei, no one could save them!

He was gambling that Shen Tianxing wouldn't dare to disregard Prince Pei!

But was that truly the case?

Shen Tianxing didn't even spare him a glance, directly stepping towards the carriage!

Not good!!!

Thousand-Household Commander Liu felt his body go numb, cold sweat pouring down!

Others might not know, but how could Thousand-Household Commander Liu and his men not know?

This was indeed Prince Pei's carriage, but inside, they were escorting Ye Qingyu of the Demon and Monster Division!

Ye Qingyu held the official position of Hundred-Household Commander in the Demon and Monster Division, and her identity was even more significant as the disciple of the Chief Director of the Demon and Monster Division. Moreover, it was rumored that her relationship with Shen Tianxing was quite good.

If Ye Qingyu inside the carriage were discovered, even if Shen Tianxing didn't kill him, Prince Pei would!!!
