Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile. His gaze lightly fell on Xu Wanning, as if he could see through every thought in the depths of the other's heart.

However, he didn't say a single unnecessary word. He simply took a step and walked straight toward the entrance of the venue.

You know, how could anyone easily guess what Xu Wanning, a man who is so worldly-wise, cunning and shrewd like an old fox, truly think?

Although Xu Wanning's attitude appears to be full of goodwill on the surface, it is difficult to say whether he has any ulterior motives hidden behind it.

Fortunately, so far there is no need to be overly worried or on guard.

The moment Qin Feng turned to leave, Su Liyue and her hundreds of followers followed without hesitation.

Their steps were synchronized and their movements were swift and agile. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared with Qin Feng at the entrance of the venue.

As the crowd gradually walked away until they completely disappeared from sight, Xu Wanning, who had been standing still, couldn't help but frown slightly, his expression shifting like the ever-changing weather.

Just then, a figure flashed by like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, the Crimson Lotus Daoist had already appeared steadily in front of Xu Wanning.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch them leave without following them?"

The Crimson Lotus Daoist stared intently at Xu Wanning with a look of suspicion and asked.

Logically speaking, now is undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to get closer to Qin Feng and establish a good relationship.

But why did Xu Wanning act so nonchalantly and without any initiative?

Faced with Chi Lian Dao Ren's questioning, Xu Wan Ning merely glanced at him indifferently, and then calmly explained, "When we helped him earlier, it was when he was in dire straits and desperately needed assistance. It was a timely act of kindness."

"But the situation is very different now. Even without our help, Qin Feng can leave Thief City safely."

"In that case, even if we follow him now, we won't be able to make him feel grateful and thus owe him a favor."

"Since it's all in vain, why bother going through all that trouble?"

After hearing these words, Daoist Chilian was slightly taken aback, then nodded thoughtfully in agreement. "Hmm...you are absolutely right! It was I who did not consider this carefully."

...

Qin Feng and his group slowly stepped out of the magnificent gate of the Myriad Realms Chamber of Commerce. Sunlight shone on them, casting long shadows.

Just then, several figures suddenly came into view not far ahead.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qing Chenzi and seven peak-level Hongmeng Saint Emperors from the Stealing Heaven Alliance.

Qing Chenzi had been calm, but when his gaze fell on Qin Feng and Su Liyue, his body stiffened and his face showed astonishment.

He was clearly quite surprised by the two unfamiliar faces in front of him.

However, just a moment later, he frowned deeply, as if he had sensed something was wrong.

Despite the drastic changes in Qin Feng and Su Liyue's appearances, their unique aura remained as unmistakable as a beacon in the darkness.

With his keen senses, Qingchenzi saw through their disguises almost instantly and confirmed their true identities.

Immediately afterwards, Qing Chenzi's gaze quickly shifted from Qin Feng and Su Liyue to the group of people behind them.

In an instant, a terrible premonition surged into his heart. His face suddenly turned gloomy and unpredictable, like the sky before a storm, shrouded in gloom.

Those once sharp eyes now gleamed with a chilling light, mercilessly scanning everyone behind Qin Feng and Su Liyue.

At this moment, Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, forming a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

He gazed at Qing Chenzi casually, parted his lips slightly, and said indifferently, "Heh! You think you can stop me from leaving Daotian City with just a few people like you?"

Qingchenzi frowned slightly, her lips pressed tightly together, and she did not reply.

His deep and sharp eyes slowly moved, passing over Qin Feng and Su Liyue, and landed directly on the group of people behind them. Then he asked in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoists, did you come out to watch the show?"

A brief silence fell over the scene.

Everyone seemed frozen in place by this sudden question, and no one dared to easily break the silence.

However, just as this silence was about to continue, a figure suddenly moved in the crowd.

He was a tall, handsome young man.

His steps were steady and powerful, each step exuding composure, and he quickly strode out from the crowd.

After standing in front of him, he first bowed to Qingchenzi, then smiled faintly and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Qingchenzi, I wonder if you could do me the favor and turn hostility into friendship with Fellow Daoist Qin, and shake hands in reconciliation?"

Upon hearing this, Qingchenzi's already solemn expression instantly turned extremely gloomy.

His eyes, which had been relatively calm, now burned with fury as he stared intently at the handsome young man before him, making no attempt to conceal his anger.

Before this, he had already suspected that Qin Feng had bribed these people, and what the young man said now undoubtedly confirmed his guess.

Qingchenzi frowned deeply, his chest heaving violently. He took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale all the anger in his body.

However, this anger was as overwhelming as a surging tide, and he used all his strength to barely suppress it, but his voice was still as cold as the wind in the cold night: "Gentlemen, have you all been bought off by this man?"

His sharp gaze swept over everyone present, but faced with his questioning, everyone chose to remain silent.

This silence was like an invisible hammer, striking Qingchenzi's heart hard and making his anger burn even more fiercely.

Clearly, their silence implied their agreement with what he said.

Qingchenzi could no longer control his emotions. His hair stood on end in anger, his eyes wide open, and he roared, "Do you know what serious consequences will come from being enemies with the Thief Alliance?"

Just then, the young man revealed a contemptuous smile, and a soft chuckle rang out: "Qingchenzi, Qingchenzi, I never expected you to become so arrogant and conceited today!"

"The Thief Alliance is indeed incredibly powerful, but with your current strength, you are probably far from being able to provoke so many of our forces at the same time, aren't you?"
