Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Qing Jie's usually calm face remained completely undisturbed, as if what Qin Feng said had nothing to do with him.
However, upon closer inspection, one can see that deep within its eyes, a chilling and unsettling glint flashes by.
Although the glint of cold light was fleeting, it was enough to show his extreme dissatisfaction with what Qin Feng had said.
Qing Jie's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile as he slowly explained, "Hehe, Fellow Daoist Qin seems to have misunderstood me!"
The reason I chose to temporarily step aside just now was not because I intended to stand by and watch, but because I had complete confidence in Fellow Daoist Qin's strength!
"I firmly believe that with Fellow Daoist Qin's abilities, he can easily and completely eliminate those mere six insignificant ants all by himself!"
At this point, Qing Jie sighed softly, and then continued, "Alas, I never expected that Fellow Daoist Qin would have such a misunderstanding. I feel extremely guilty."
"Here, I solemnly assure Fellow Daoist Qin that if any demonic slaves dare to come and harass us again, without Fellow Daoist Qin needing to take action personally, I will step forward without hesitation and resolve all these troubles for Fellow Daoist Qin!"
Qing Jie was perfectly aware of the situation. He knew that if he couldn't clearly express his stance and attitude at this moment, Qin Feng might really break off relations with him because of it.
After all, the Primordial Chaos Realm has not yet been opened, and the binding force of the inner demon oath still exists, so he is absolutely unwilling to easily strain his relationship with Qin Feng.
Faced with Qing Jie's explanation, Qin Feng merely glanced at him indifferently, then turned his body to the side without saying a word, casting his gaze to the left.
Immediately afterwards, a half-smile appeared on Qin Feng's face, and he said slowly in a tone with a hint of teasing, "Fellow Daoists, did you enjoy the show?"
Besides Su Liyue and her three companions, there were more than ten other people lurking in the surrounding area.
Although Qin Feng didn't take these people seriously at all, it was still very necessary to "invite" them all out as a precaution.
After all, no one can guarantee that when a fierce conflict might break out, these guys hiding in the shadows won't suddenly jump out and cause trouble, making the situation difficult to control.
As Qin Feng's deep and authoritative voice slowly faded, a brief silence fell over the surroundings.
It was as if time itself had frozen at that moment, and not a single sound was heard.
However, this silence lasted only a short while before it was broken by a rustling sound.
Immediately afterwards, apart from Su Liyue and the other three, the other figures hidden in various corners began to emerge one by one.
Among these people, some showed an embarrassed look on their faces, clearly feeling somewhat ashamed that Qin Feng had discovered their hiding place;
Some people, however, appeared quite calm, as if they had long anticipated this moment.
The different expressions on everyone's faces made the whole scene quite interesting.
A moment later, a burly man with a round face slowly walked out from the crowd.
He clasped his hands in a salute to Qin Feng and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you truly have discerning eyes! We had no intention of offending you; we simply came to join in the fun after hearing that there was something interesting to see here."
"Now that you have discovered our whereabouts, we should leave immediately and not bother you any longer."
After saying that, he turned around and made a move to leave with the others.
However, at this moment, Qin Feng waved his hand gently and said with a smile, "Please wait, everyone, there is no need to leave in such a hurry."
"You have all come here for the Primordial World, and have gone through countless hardships to reach this place."
"Wouldn't it be a great pity to give up so easily now?"
"In my opinion, why don't we join hands and explore the mysteries of this Primordial World together? We might even gain something. What do you all think?"
As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
They really couldn't figure out what this fellow Daoist Qin Feng was up to.
Why would such a suggestion be made?
For a moment, the scene fell silent, and no one dared to express their opinion.
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng still wore that kind smile on his face, but a barely perceptible cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He glanced at everyone and then said slowly, "Of course, I'll also say the unpleasant things upfront."
"This collaboration requires complete honesty and cooperation to jointly usher in the Primordial World."
"If anyone harbors ulterior motives, attempts to sabotage or seek personal gain, then don't blame me, Qin Feng, for being ruthless and making them pay a heavy price!"
After saying this, Qin Feng put his hands behind his back and waited quietly for everyone's response.
Qing Jie frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with a complex light, like stars flickering in the night sky, staring straight at Qin Feng.
He wondered to himself, "What is this guy up to? What is he trying to do?"
With him and Ling Xueyan around, why would we need to rely on the strength of these people?
After all, although the group of people in front of them had all reached the peak of the Primordial Saint Emperor realm, to the three of them they were nothing more than slightly fatter ants.
However, Qin Feng's initiative to cooperate with these people at this moment was truly perplexing to Qing Jie.
In contrast, Ling Xueyan remained calm and composed, her stunningly beautiful face devoid of any emotion, as if nothing in the world could stir even a ripple in her heart.
She stood there quietly, like a solitary orchid blooming in a secluded valley, aloof and independent.
It is unknown whether she has already figured out the deeper meaning behind Qin Feng's actions.
Or perhaps it stemmed from her unwavering and unreserved trust in Qin Feng?
After a while, the burly man looked at Qin Feng and questioned, "Fellow Daoist Qin, with your strength, it seems there's no need for you to cooperate with us, is there?"
"Not to mention, you have a senior at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm by your side, so you don't need us at all."
Qin Feng glanced at Qing Jie, then looked at the burly man and explained, "My cooperation with this guy is only temporary, and I don't trust him at all!"
"Because he is at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, I am no match for him on my own, which is why I thought of cooperating with you!"
"If he turns against me then, with your help, I will not be afraid of him!"
