The doubts Qin Feng listed were rendered silent by the illusory figure.
The phantom stared blankly at Qin Feng, not knowing what to say. He thought his plan was flawless, but the other person had pointed out so many suspicious points to him.
Aside from the first point of suspicion being somewhat absurd, Qin Feng's subsequent suspicions were not unreasonable.
The illusory figure looked at Qin Feng and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Qin Feng smiled calmly, "And then there's my intuition. My intuition tells me that the person behind this Bliss Palace has ill intentions."
The phantom's lips twitched, then in the blink of an eye, it revealed a strange smile.
"Aren't you curious why I've been chatting with you all this time instead of fighting you? You know I have a lot of helpers."
Zhou Jian, Shen Qianjun, and the others were taken aback. They had wondered about this before, but hadn't asked.
Qin Feng calmly looked at the illusory figure.
"What other reason could there be? Delaying time, of course."
Either you just came out of the statue and need some time to adjust, or you haven't digested what you ate before.
Furthermore, it will take time for you to solidify your control over these individuals, and you will need to negotiate with us over time.
The illusory figure looked at Qin Feng with some surprise, "Oh, you actually guessed it all, why didn't you make a move?"
Qin Feng smiled faintly, "You're making preparations, but aren't we making preparations too? We don't know your condition yet, but seeing how careful you are, we're relieved."
The illusory figure glanced contemptuously at Qin Feng, then swept its gaze over Leng Yuexi and the others, revealing a disdainful expression.
"You are laughable. You are just one King Realm cultivator, while I have two."
With the addition of the three King Realm experts from before, my power has been restored to the King Realm. What do you have to fight me with?
I admit you're a bit clever and wary, but you're only at the Nascent Soul stage; you can't escape my grasp.
I advise you not to struggle anymore. Once I have enjoyed these people and achieved spiritual completeness, you will obediently become the vessel of my soul.
If I'm in a good mood, I can even use a secret method to preserve some of your feelings and memories, so you'll essentially have a new life.
The words of the Emperor's remnant soul made Shen Mengying break out in a cold sweat. He had devoured them all; he truly was a man-eater who wouldn't spit out the bones.
Zhou Jian also looked solemn. The remnant soul was right; the opponent's combat power was indeed stronger than theirs.
There are three experts at the King Realm: Zhu Rui, Bai He, and the illusory figure itself.
There are even more experts at the Nascent Soul stage, and the leaders of several sects, including Deng Tianning, are still under the control of the illusory figure.
Zhou Jian looked at Qin Feng with some worry. He didn't know where Qin Feng got his confidence from. Knowing that the other party was stalling for time, he was still so confident. Now he could only place his hopes on Qin Feng.
Leng Yuexi remained calm throughout.
Having followed Qin Feng for a long time, Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan have learned some skills in handling situations calmly.
The most anxious were Shen Mengying and Shen Qianjun, who were like ants on a hot pan.
The illusory figure seemed ready, looking at Qin Feng and the others with a mocking expression, "Enjoy your last moments."
With a wave of his hand, he summoned Bai He and Zhu Rui, two powerful King Realm experts under his control, along with Tian Zheng, Xue Tong, Qian Xuefeng, and Deng Tianning, four Nascent Soul Venerables, to attack Qin Feng and his group.
Zhou Jian shouted at Qin Feng, "Qin Feng, what can you do? I can only hold back two King Realm experts at most, and I can't do anything about the others."
Qin Feng was delighted upon hearing this, "Ancestor, that's enough. You only need to hold off the two King Realm experts for a bit, and leave the rest to us."
Zhou Jian nodded. This was all he could do at this point; being a freshman or sophomore was still a bit of a stretch.
Shen Qianjun was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but he stood in front of Shen Mengying and the others without hesitation, his face filled with tragic determination.
Seeing this, Qin Feng pointed to Yin Tiantian, Xiao Fan, Xiao Shitou, Shen Mengying, and Leng Yuexi, and said to Shen Qianjun:
"Old Shen, leave these people to me. You just need to protect them."
Shen Qianjun was taken aback. "Qin Feng, are you confident? These are all sect leaders and sect masters, they are not easy to deal with."
Qin Feng nodded firmly, "Don't worry, I'm confident."
After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to greet the four late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Shen Qianjun and the others looked at Qin Feng with some worry.
The phantom figure stood with its hands behind its back, looking like it was watching a good show.
"Tsk tsk, do you know why I kept these people around? Just in case. You think you're so strong that you can take on four of them by yourself?"
Qin Feng ignored his teasing and didn't know why the illusory figure didn't participate.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the illusory figure was not interfering and deal with these four late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators as soon as possible in order to prepare for the upcoming battle.
He knew that Zhou Jian still needed his help, otherwise Zhou Jian wouldn't be able to hold on for long, and the situation would become very bad.
Qin Feng's expression turned cold as he looked at Deng Tianning, Tian Zheng, Jiang Yi, and Qian Xuefeng who were rushing towards him.
His first task was to subdue or knock out Deng Tianning to get him out of danger.
He no longer needed to be timid when dealing with the remaining three Nascent Soul cultivators.
Qin Feng had a clear objective: to target Deng Tianning's location and expand his territory accordingly.
After withstanding the combined attack of the four of them, he did not retreat. He activated the Shadow Step and, with the support of his domain, appeared beside Deng Tianning as if by magic.
For a fleeting moment, Deng Tianning showed surprise. Whether it was due to the influence of the phantom or a brief return of his consciousness, Deng Tianning did not make any timely resistance.
Qin Feng was secretly delighted and delivered a chop to the back of Deng Tianning's neck, causing Deng Tianning to close his eyes and faint.
Qin Feng then added another layer of magical binding, trapping Deng Tianning inside the Heaven-Stabilizing Pearl.
Everything went incredibly smoothly, allowing Qin Feng to breathe a sigh of relief.
Shen Qianjun stared blankly at Qin Feng's performance, shocked that he had taken down one in less than a breath.
Yin Tiantian also looked delighted, "Junior Brother has become stronger again, which immediately relieves us of any worries."
Xiao Fan nodded, "With Elder Deng out of the picture, Young Master doesn't need to be timid when dealing with these people."
The remnant soul of the Great Emperor raised an eyebrow at Qin Feng's sudden appearance and said in a low voice:
"It seems you're more capable than I thought, but the more capable you are, the better. In the end, you're nothing more than a vessel for my soul."
The phantom had one more thing left unsaid: he was still digesting the energy of the three King-level experts. Only after he had digested it would he truly possess the strength of a King-level expert. This was also the reason why he hadn't participated in the battle.
Qin Feng had no time to pay attention to the illusory figure's teasing and went straight for the remaining three Nascent Soul experts.
What the Great Emperor's illusory figure didn't know was that Qin Feng had been pondering this matter ever since he asked Zhou Jian how to open up a small grotto-heaven.
There's already some progress, and I believe it won't be long before we can put it into practice.
