"Heh, that's it?"
Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, and the originally powerful and surging aura on his body instantly dissipated without a trace.
He crossed his arms, his eyes filled with disdain, and stared directly at the burly man and the man in blue before him, mocking them mercilessly.
"With your meager strength, you dare to talk back to me?"
"I advise you not to be too tough, or the consequences will be something you can't afford!"
As Qin Feng's aura dissipated, the burly man and the man in blue felt a great sense of relief, as if they had been pulled back from an endless abyss to a world of light. The exhilarating feeling of being reborn made them involuntarily take a deep breath.
The burly man was pale, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. He stared intently at Qin Feng with a slightly fearful gaze, forcing out a dry laugh that looked more like a grimace.
"Fellow Daoist Qin... I was truly blind and ignorant, and offended you. I deserve to die!"
"I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me!"
The man in blue standing to the side was trembling with fear. He lowered his head, not daring to look Qin Feng in the eye, and stammered incoherently, "Fellow Daoist Qin... please have mercy on me!"
"I was extremely offensive just now, and it was a heinous crime. But please forgive me this time, considering my ignorance! A gentleman doesn't hold grudges against a petty person!"
Hearing their terrified pleas for mercy, Qin Feng simply chuckled and said unhurriedly, "Alright, since you've realized your mistakes, I can give you another chance to choose."
"Either stay and cooperate with me, or leave."
"However, you should think carefully. Once you make a decision, you must follow it. Do not do anything that is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant."
At this point, Qin Feng paused, then added, "If you choose to leave, I will absolutely not stop you; you can leave on your own."
"But if you are willing to stay and cooperate with me, then I assure you that I will treat you as one of my own, sharing both good times and bad!"
The burly man and the man in blue exchanged a glance, both showing hesitation in their eyes.
A moment later, the burly man clenched his teeth, as if after a fierce internal struggle, he finally made up his mind and spoke first: "Fellow Daoist Qin! I am willing to follow you."
"Having witnessed your formidable strength firsthand, I know that following you will surely bring me gains and immense benefits!"
Just then, the man in green robes saw the burly man make such a decisive statement and thought to himself that he couldn't be left behind, so he quickly chimed in, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Qin! I am also willing to stay and follow you."
Seeing that the two had made their choices, the others all turned their attention to Qin Feng.
They hesitated for a moment, but quickly realized the situation—since the burly man and the man in blue had both resolutely chosen to stay and follow Qin Feng, they would probably miss a great opportunity if they left now.
Therefore, these people hardly hesitated and one after another expressed their willingness to stay and follow Qin Feng.
Upon seeing this result, Qing Jie frowned deeply, his expression shifting like the weather, sometimes as gloomy as water, and sometimes revealing a hint of anxiety.
Before this, Qing Jie was quite confident in himself, believing that even if he faced Qin Feng, he would have the strength to compete with him.
However, to everyone's surprise, more than ten Hongmeng Saint Emperors are now following Qin Feng, which is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Qing Jie.
Just then, as if he had suddenly realized something, Qin Feng slowly turned his sharp gaze toward Qing Jie beside him.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint, enigmatic smile, and then asked unhurriedly, "Qingjie, judging from your expression, are you perhaps plotting something nefarious?"
"Could it be... that you've already lost your temper and are planning to completely break ties with me?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Jie couldn't help but purse his lips, a look of dissatisfaction and grievance appearing on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, how can you view me in this way?"
"We've always been close partners!"
"Now that I see you have successfully gathered so many powerful individuals to strengthen our forces, I am overjoyed. How could I possibly have any improper thoughts?"
Qin Feng naturally wouldn't believe Qing Jie's words. He stared intently at Qing Jie, his deep, pool-like eyes filled with a mocking tone, as if he already knew everything.
"Is that really the case?" Qin Feng asked jokingly.
Qing Jie calmly retorted, "What else did you think?"
"Hehe, Qingjie, don't think I don't know what you're really planning deep down." Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile. He then pursed his lips and shrugged, as if he knew everything.
"However, I can't be bothered with your little schemes."
"But there's one condition: before the Primordial Chaos Realm opens, you'd better behave yourself and not try to play any tricks!"
"Otherwise... hmph, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying that, Qin Feng suddenly turned around, his gaze falling on the empty space behind him. He frowned slightly and muttered to himself with a look of suspicion on his face.
"So much time has passed, how come we haven't even seen a shadow of a demon slave?"
"Could it be that the ancient demon has actually been hiding nearby all along?"
"He witnessed me effortlessly kill those six demon slaves, and knew that sending more demon slaves would only be a waste of time and effort, so he simply decided to hold back?"
Ling Xueyan frowned slightly, her eyes darting around as she glanced at her surroundings. "It really is possible!"
Qing Jie glanced at Qin Feng and Ling Xueyan, then curled his lip and said, "Just some mere demon slaves, no need to take them to heart!"
"As for the Ancient Demon, he was severely injured by you before, and his injuries will not heal in a short time, so there is no need to worry about him!"
"Our most important task now is to find all the remaining fragments of the Primordial Chaos Realm map!"
Upon hearing Qing Jie's words, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at him, asking, "How many fragments of the Primordial Chaos Realm map are there in total?"
