Qin Feng had not been stingy with them. If this big boss were to be harmed, they would not be able to bear it. Therefore, one of them advised, "If that's the case, you might be in danger. Although our sect is a righteous path of cultivation, there are many people with ulterior motives inside. If they know you are so wealthy, they will definitely come looking for trouble."
Another person chimed in, "Yes, boss, this is too dangerous, and it brings you no benefit, only unnecessary trouble."
Qin Feng smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. You just need to do as I say. Listen... if this matter is handled well, I will give you a generous reward. I have an informant within the Qingxuan Sect. If you pass the message to him, letting him know, I will reward you with 500 grams of dragon's saliva incense. If the informant doesn't hear any news about me, I will hand over the business of transporting medicinal materials to others. Do you understand?"
Hearing Qin Feng's solemn instructions, the two knew that the boss was serious this time!
They patted their chests and said, "Don't worry, boss, we will do as you say. Even if it's a mouse in the Qingxuan Sect, I'll make sure it knows your news!"
"Boss, rest assured, we will definitely handle the task of relaying the message. I think this must be a test for us, to see our capabilities? Please rest assured, no matter how reclusive or unsociable your informant is, even if he is in seclusion, we will find a way to let him know your news!"
Qin Feng nodded, and then the two guards took their leave.
Watching the two walk in the direction of the Qingxuan Sect, Qin Feng turned back into the house. He looked at Ye Shen and 204 and said, "We should act. It won't be long before our enemies arrive. We must be prepared at the designated location!"
Ye Shen nodded, while 204 looked bewildered!
He had just woken up and didn't know he had appeared in a completely unfamiliar world. However, Qin Feng and Ye Shen were the people he trusted the most. Hearing them speak so solemnly, he knew that this matter was not simple.
So, he quickly stood up, stretched his muscles, and said, "I am ready. Just tell me where to act. However, there's one thing: when I use my demonic cultivation techniques and unleash my full strength and potential, I might not be able to distinguish between friend and foe. Within the range of my cultivation, all life that enters will be ensnared by me, so you must be careful not to step into the area covered by my techniques."
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, that place will only have you. If anyone steps into your area, that is the person you need to capture."
204 nodded, and the three of them turned and walked out of the house, heading towards their prepared location.
Qin Feng and Ye Shen had already scouted and chosen a location in this area beforehand.
Qin Feng took out many excavation tools from his storage ring and ordered his Red Alert soldiers to create a battlefield. The village where Qin Feng was located was deserted, making it an excellent place for setting up formations. With the help of high-tech engineering equipment, his preparations for the battlefield were already seven-tenths complete without anyone noticing.
Qin Feng led 204 to a deserted area and said to him, "How large is the coverage area of your demonic cultivation techniques? Draw a circle here!"
Hearing this, 204 nodded and then drew a huge circle on the open ground with a branch. This circle encompassed a radius of a thousand meters.
Seeing this circle, Qin Feng nodded and then directed his Red Alert soldiers, driving excavators and various high-tech equipment, to start digging deep pits centered around this circle.
The rumbling sounds of various massive machines astonished 204. He looked at the Red Alert soldiers appearing around him and scratched his head, asking, "Are these people your friends? They seem so strange! They are unlike any creature I've encountered before, not human, not monsters, nor plants or animals. Are these guys gods from heaven?"
204 was utterly confused. Qin Feng said, "They are my substitutes. I remember telling you, when we first met, I sent a substitute to meet you. Don't you remember?"
Hearing this, 204 recalled, but he still scratched his head and said, "When we first met, the substitute you sent was completely different from these ones I'm seeing now! Do you have many substitutes? Your substitutes can even do work for you? My heavens! This is too magical. How did you achieve this?"
Qin Feng did not intend to explain. He simply said indifferently, "Just consider them as puppets."
204 murmured, "Moving puppets? My heavens! You truly are a master. Not only are you kind-hearted and amiable to people, but you also possess all sorts of inconceivable abilities and miraculous puppets. I will definitely follow your lead from now on and repay your kindness."
Qin Feng asked curiously, "What kindness?"
204 said, "While I was unconscious, you took care of me, preventing me from dying at the hands of monsters. This is a tremendous favor! And now you are showing me the matter of your substitutes without any reservation, which is a great trust in me. This trust is the greatest kindness, more important and precious than saving my life."
Qin Feng was somewhat speechless. He turned and left. The engineering work here could be handled by the Red Alert soldiers. He went to Ye Shen.
At this moment, Ye Shen was holding a small flag for setting up formations, her eyes closed as she felt the energy within, preparing for the formation to be activated. Seeing Qin Feng arrive, she asked, "I am ready. Why are you here? Have you made arrangements for 204?"
Qin Feng shook his head, then nodded and said, "Everything will be ready when the engineering is complete. It's just that with 204, I feel like his mind is a bit off, so I came to see if you've encountered any trouble."
Hearing this, Ye Shen smiled. She also felt that 204 was a bit unusual. This person valued camaraderie too much, to the point of being somewhat abnormal. At the same time, he was willing to sacrifice his life for someone he had no connection with. It was a miracle that such a person could survive to this day. If he had encountered anyone else, he might have been killed long ago.
She glanced at Qin Feng and said, "That person is a bit emotional, but he is a good person. At least, for us, he is willing to sacrifice his life. Such an honest person is hard to find!"
Qin Feng also knew this. 204 was indeed a difficult teammate to find. However, if the two of them were left alone together for a day, he might go crazy. The other party was willing to put in the effort but was unable to communicate.
Thus, about a day passed, and all of Qin Feng's preparations were completed.
The area around the circle drawn by 204 had become sheer cliffs, and many Red Alert soldiers were hidden around.
204 stood alone within the circle, looking at the perilous environment, and scratched his head, saying, "Do I really have to guard here? Are you sure anyone can reach this place?"
Qin Feng nodded and said, "If the opponent is a master, they will definitely come. When you see the dense fog rising around, activate your demonic cultivation techniques and guard this place tightly, understand?"
