How could the Immortal Venerable be persuaded to cooperate?
Qin Feng already had an idea. He turned to Wang Feng and asked, "Have there been any strange occurrences in this world recently?"
Wang Feng thought for a moment and then replied, "Those I sent to investigate the whereabouts of the barbarians did hear some news. In the past ten-odd days, the sect leaders or masters of small sects have gone missing one after another, and even experts from major sects have disappeared inexplicably. Some say they might have encountered danger and been assassinated, while others claim these individuals found treasures and have gone into hiding, no longer intending to return to their original sects."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng asked again, "Have similar incidents happened before?"
Wang Feng shook her head and said, "There have been some disappearances over the centuries, but the number of experts vanishing in these past ten-plus days is too great. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Is something the matter?"
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Indeed, something is the matter, and it's quite significant. I need your help now. I want to meet the Immortal Venerable, and I hope you can guide me there."
Wang Feng was greatly surprised by this. She said, "Our Qingxuan Sect and the Taishi Sect have always kept to ourselves. While our relationship isn't bad, it's not good either; we've always been in competition. Our Qingxuan Sect was once the foremost immortal cultivation sect in this world, but after the Immortal Venerable appeared, we became second. This has created some estrangement between the two sects. The previous sect leader established a rule that we are not allowed to visit the Taishi Sect unless there's a pressing matter. If we were to go, we would need the sect leader's consent. However, the sect leader is in seclusion, so..."
Hearing this, Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "I'll ask you just one thing: are you listening to me or your sect leader? Will you take me or not?"
Seeing Qin Feng's serious expression and stern tone, Wang Feng knew she had to make a choice. She initially wanted to persuade Qin Feng not to go, but now there was no other way. Wang Feng nodded heavily and said, "Of course, I listen to you. I'll do anything for you, even if it means leaving the Qingxuan Sect. If you've truly decided, I'll take you now."
Qin Feng didn't say much more. He turned directly to Ye Shen in the room and said, "I have something to attend to and will be away for a while. Cultivate here with peace of mind, and I'll return."
A moment later, Ye Shen recovered and said, "Be careful. If you feel any danger, you must escape. There are many ways to improve your strength; don't take unnecessary risks. Even if this world were to disappear, we can still grow in the barbarian world."
Ye Shen's words were for Qin Feng's own good, and he knew what Qin Feng intended to do. Qin Feng wanted this world to be peaceful, free from disaster, and not destroyed, as this would greatly benefit them. They could cultivate and improve their strength in this world. At the same time, Ye Shen offered a reminder that even if this world were destroyed, they had other avenues for growth, and there was no need to risk their lives for it.
Qin Feng understood Ye Shen's good intentions and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I won't joke with my own life." With that, he drew the Peerless Sword and, using the sword control technique, flew into the sky.
Seeing her beloved appear so anxious, Wang Feng dared not delay. She quickly employed her movement technique, following closely behind Qin Feng, and simultaneously guiding him. The two of them left the town, one after the other.
The Taishi Sect was some distance from the Qingxuan Sect. Qin Feng and Wang Feng traveled at a leisurely pace, resting along the way. After two days, they finally arrived at the foot of the Taishi Sect's mountain gate.
Qin Feng glanced at Wang Feng and asked, "With your strength, would it be dangerous for us to just barge in?"
Hearing this, Wang Feng replied, "If it were just ordinary disciples, we would certainly be safe. However, if the Immortal Venerable himself were to act, we would surely perish without a burial place. Below the Immortal Venerable, no one can do anything to us, and I am quite confident in that regard."
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Then let's just barge in directly. Let that Immortal Venerable come out, so I can speak with him. I believe he won't make things difficult for us."
Wang Feng nodded, always obeying Qin Feng's words. Since they had decided to force their way in, she naturally didn't hold back her power. Thus, the two of them headed directly towards the Taishi Sect's gate.
The disciples of the Taishi Sect guarding the gate looked at Qin Feng and Wang Feng with confusion. Just as they were about to reach out to stop them, they felt a peculiar energy emanating from Wang Feng. Their eyes instantly widened. They had never seen such a captivating woman before. Wang Feng was not one for pleasantries; she directly ordered the two to lead the way, stating they wanted to see the Immortal Venerable.
Although the two guards didn't know where the Immortal Venerable was, they knew the most likely place he would be. The two immediately led the way, acting like puppets controlled by Wang Feng. With Wang Feng's current strength, ordinary disciples were unable to resist her charm techniques. As they ventured deeper into the Taishi Sect, more experts began to appear, but none could resist Wang Feng's charm. They fell under her spell, and the group grew larger, eventually comprising several hundred people, rampaging through the Taishi Sect. Occasionally, one or two experts were unaffected by the charm techniques, but faced with the siege of hundreds, they could only flee in无奈.
Before long, word spread throughout the Taishi Sect that a woman skilled in charm techniques was causing chaos within the sect, having already controlled several hundred disciples, and the number was still growing. Soon after, the Immortal Venerable learned of the matter.
In a spacious square within the Taishi Sect, Wang Feng and Qin Feng led hundreds of Taishi Sect disciples forward in a grand procession. Their target was the main hall of the Taishi Sect, the place where important matters were discussed, and where the Immortal Venerable was most likely to be. Just as they were halfway there, a voice suddenly echoed from the sky. The voice was clear and bright, like a great bell resonating in everyone's hearts.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Taishi Sect and use charm techniques to torment my disciples?"
After this voice spoke, all the Taishi Sect disciples who had fallen under Wang Feng's charm techniques immediately regained their senses. They looked at their surroundings in confusion, then at Wang Feng. These individuals quickly retreated, looking at Qin Feng and Wang Feng with vigilance. One of them angrily exclaimed, "This is outrageous! How dare you use charm techniques in our sect? You two are tired of living, and you dare to control us? You will not leave here alive today!"
Wang Feng knew that her charm techniques had been broken by the Immortal Venerable. She stepped forward and addressed the sky, using a long-distance transmission technique, saying, "I am Wang Feng of the Qingxuan Sect, the Master of the Flower Garden. I have come here today specifically to find the Immortal Venerable. To save time, I was compelled to use charm techniques. I request the Immortal Venerable to come out and meet me, as I have something to say!"
