Qin Feng walked into the inn. This inn was famous in Qingxi City. Only sect leaders and elders could stay there; ordinary people had no way to enter. Since Wang Feng had already booked a room, and as the courtyard master of Qingxuan Huayuan, her status was no different from an elder, no one dared to stop them.
Qin Feng and his group arrived at the reserved room. The view from here was excellent, allowing them to overlook the entire city. Such a tall building was quite rare in this world.
They had barely sat down when someone came to report. Wang Feng nodded, then turned to Qin Feng and said, "The barbarians and the bodies of those barbarians who have already died have been transported here. They can be sent back when the teleportation array is activated. As long as the Immortal Venerable arrives here to meet us as agreed, all the tasks you gave me will be completed."
After saying this, she glanced at the people in the room. Except for Ye Shen, she didn't recognize anyone else. Especially the unconscious 204, she felt a sense of both familiarity and strangeness. The aura within his body felt very familiar, but she had never seen his face before, so she asked doubtfully, "Who are these people? They are clearly not cultivators, so why are you bringing them along? And that unconscious fellow, the aura within him makes me very uncomfortable. He seems to be from the demonic path. Who exactly is this person?"
Qin Feng explained, "These are all my subordinates, who work for me. Although they appear to have low strength, they are very important to me. The unconscious person is called 204. Haven't you encountered him before? Have you forgotten?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng thought carefully and then nodded. "I remember. When I was in a state of confusion, I encountered you, and this person trapped me. He used demonic methods, which were very miraculous. Is he your friend? Righteous and evil have always been irreconcilable, and it's the same in this world. The cultivation techniques of demonic cultivators are completely opposite to ours, and their thoughts are almost reversed. Logically speaking, we wouldn't become friends with demonic cultivators. How did you manage it? Is this fellow really reliable? What if he does something to harm you? Demonic cultivators are difficult to fathom, you must be careful!"
Hearing this, Ye Shen, who was beside them, snorted and said, "To us, 204 is more trustworthy than you. He has helped us twice and been seriously injured twice. If we don't trust him, who else should we trust?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng laughed disdainfully. "In this world, we have had a lot of dealings with demonic cultivators, and our experience is far richer than yours. Although for now, we and the demonic cultivators mind our own business and cultivate separately, in ancient times, we had great wars that lasted for thousands of years. I understand their methods better than you. Such selfless acts have been done by some demonic cultivators before, but once they gained our trust, they would launch surprise attacks, causing us heavy losses. Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: one must not have any dealings with demonic cultivators. The deeper the relationship, the greater the harm. Their thoughts are completely different from ours, so we cannot have too much entanglement. I am merely reminding you."
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness. However, 204 was seriously injured helping us, so there is no reason for us to abandon him. Even if we part ways in the future, we must protect him now! I don't know his character, but from my perception, he is not an evil person. On the contrary, he is frighteningly pure and can sacrifice himself for others. Such a good person, I will never abandon him easily."
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Wang Feng showed a look of adoration on her face. She said, "As expected of the one I love, your actions are indeed different. Ordinary cultivators would show disdain if they heard someone was from the demonic path. But I never expected you to not care at all and even point out many of his merits. You repay kindness; you are truly the one I love. I feel I am falling deeper and deeper in love with you, what should I do? By the way, have you considered the matter of dual cultivation that I mentioned to you a while ago? I am willing to sacrifice my cultivation to help you improve your strength. You can do it anytime if you wish. How about we do it here?"
Hearing such mushy words, Ye Shen beside them got goosebumps. She slapped the table and said, "Pay attention, there are people here! We are here to wait for the Immortal Venerable, not to do such sordid things."
After saying this, before Wang Feng could retort, another voice sounded in the room.
"What do you mean by dual cultivation? Ah, how strange, where is this?"
Hearing this, everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw that 204 had recovered from his coma. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the furnishings in the room with curiosity.
"You're awake?" Qin Feng was very surprised. He could feel that 204's vision had just returned to 100% and had not increased at all. According to past experience, he shouldn't have woken up at this time, so Qin Feng was very curious.
Hearing Qin Feng's question, 204 also scratched his head. He seemed a bit confused about his own condition. He said, "I feel like I've had a long sleep. I should have slept longer, but I felt something very important was coming towards me, so I woke up. It's strange, I've never had this feeling before."
"Something very important to you?" Qin Feng was also puzzled, but at that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted outside, followed by cheers from the crowd.
"Look quickly, it's the Immortal Venerable and his party!"
"It's people from the Taishi Sect who have arrived, and the Immortal Venerable himself is accompanying them."
"The Immortal Venerable hasn't visited Qingxi City for a long time. I wonder what brings him here this time?"
"It is said that a few days ago, the Immortal Venerable issued an order to drive all barbarians back to the barbaric world, and they were not even allowed to leave their belongings here. I wonder if this is true?"
"Of course it's true. The sect has told us about the Immortal Venerable's orders, so these past few days, our sect has collected all items related to barbarians from the surrounding areas and submitted them all to the Immortal Venerable. How could it be false? I wonder what the barbarians did to offend the Immortal Venerable to issue such an order?"
"Actually, barbarians have many treasures that are very useful to us. Isn't it a pity to give them up for nothing?"
"What's the use of it being a pity? Do you dare to disobey the Immortal Venerable's orders? He is the supreme being of the cultivation world, elected by all sects and factions. If you disobey his orders, you won't be able to establish yourself in the cultivation world."
As the crowd was in an uproar, the Immortal Venerable led a group of people to the entrance of the inn.
