In the distant sky, several bright lights flashed. The Immortal Venerable opened his eyes and said, "That is the teleportation array leading to the barren lands. The barbarian tribes who came to this world originally numbered over a thousand. Now, except for a few of you, they have all been teleported back, along with the items they carried. If what you say is correct, then the disaster should have been eliminated."
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded and said, "It is thanks to your help that the barbarian tribes could be gathered and sent back. Otherwise, we would not have been able to do it. Being able to collect and send back the items carried by the barbarian tribes is even more beyond our capabilities. To be honest, I was very surprised that you could achieve this, because the treasures we carried have great auxiliary effects for you, and can greatly enhance your strength and power. There must have been some people who were unwilling to hand over these treasures, but you were still able to gather these items together. This is enough to show your prestige and strength. I am truly impressed."
Hearing this, the Immortal Venerable waved his hand. He chuckled and said, "You flatter me. I am not as powerful as you say. In fact, being able to collect all the items together this time was also a coincidence. The items carried by these barbarian tribes were occupied by a civilian organization in the demonic path. They called themselves the Blood Moon Alliance. These fellows are all ordinary in strength, and their cultivation techniques are varied. Even with the help of these magical items, they were no match for us. Therefore, I gathered experts and annihilated them in one fell swoop, confiscating all these items. It was also a coincidence. If these items were occupied by a prestigious sect, I doubt they would have handed them over so easily, and even my command would have been of little use. In fact, there are still a few items carried by the barbarian tribes in this world whose whereabouts are unknown. I have only collected most of them. However, I believe the remaining few items should not be enough to change the overall situation. If these items were very powerful, I would definitely have received news. If the person who obtained these items was very strong, I would also have received news. But now I have no news at all, which means that these few items and the people who obtained them are all insignificant and will not affect the direction of this disaster. If you are right, the disaster should now be resolved. If you are wrong, you must fulfill the bet and give me the items in your storage ring."
Hearing the Immortal Venerable's words, Qin Feng nodded and said, "Of course, I will not go back on our bet, and I also understand that it is impossible to gather all those items together. Only true immortals can do that."
Hearing Qin Feng's words, the Immortal Venerable nodded, then closed his eyes and began to calculate. He wanted to see if the crisis in this world was resolved and if the impending disaster would not happen after the barbarian tribes and their belongings were sent back to the barren lands.
But at this moment, Qin Feng spoke to stop him, "Wait!"
Hearing this, the Immortal Venerable opened his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"
Qin Feng smiled and then said, "You forgot about the barbarian tribes and us! For the crisis in this world to be resolved, we must also return to the barren lands. Otherwise, your calculations may not be accurate!"
Hearing this, the other elders of the Grand Historian Sect were displeased. One pointed at Qin Feng and angrily said, "Who do you think you are? You've been arrogant and rude from the start. If it weren't for the Immortal Venerable giving you face, I would have torn you to shreds long ago. Now you dare to question the Immortal Venerable's strength? In this world, when it comes to deduction, the Immortal Venerable dares to say he is second to none! Only true immortals can compare to our Immortal Venerable. How dare you say such unreasonable words? It's outrageous."
Another person also said angrily, "Yes! From the beginning, you haven't put the Immortal Venerable in your eyes. With your mere Golden Core cultivation, you dare to be so presumptuous. Just the tone you use when speaking to the Immortal Venerable is a grave offense. We, as elders of the Grand Historian Sect, cannot let you off easily. Immortal Venerable, please give the order. Let's give this person a taste of his own medicine now, otherwise others will think our Grand Historian Sect is easy to bully, and the Immortal Venerable's prestige will be greatly diminished."
Hearing the elders of the Grand Historian Sect speak like this, Wang Feng had already stood up. She was cautiously on guard. If these people dared to make a move, she would do her best to protect Qin Feng, even if it meant death. She absolutely would not let these people harm a single hair on Qin Feng's head, as he was her beloved.
The Immortal Venerable was also very surprised by Qin Feng's words. There was no one in the world who dared to speak to him like this. Yet, this Qin Feng repeatedly challenged his authority. Even if he could tolerate it, his subordinates could not.
Thinking of this, the Immortal Venerable said sternly to Qin Feng, "Are you questioning my strength? Or are you planning to evade the bet? Do you intend to use this opportunity to return to the barren lands and never come back?"
After saying this, an elder of the Grand Historian Sect immediately echoed, "That's right. He went to great lengths to find all the barbarian tribes and send them back to the barren lands, and also sent back all the treasures they brought. His true purpose is to follow those people and items back to the barren lands and claim those items for himself. He has been deceiving us from the start, using the Immortal Venerable's status and strength to do his bidding, with the aim of obtaining those items and treasures, and sending all the barbarian tribes back to the barren lands. Then, no one in this world will know of his existence. Even if we pursue him to the barren lands, it will be difficult to find him again. This person has a good plan!"
Another person also nodded and said, "Following this line of thought, I think those barbarian tribes will die a violent death once they are teleported away. This fellow will definitely silence them, and then flee with those treasures. He has played us, the Grand Historian Sect, and the Immortal Venerable. Today, we must make him pay the price and let him know what happens when you play the Immortal Venerable. Let him taste what it is like to wish he were dead."
Hearing this, Qin Feng sneered dismissively. He then turned to look at the Immortal Venerable and said to him, "When I made the bet with you, you agreed to it, largely because of the things in my storage ring, right? Since I have such precious treasures, why would I covet the items carried by the barbarian tribes? If I don't return to the barren lands, it will have a great impact on this world, and the disaster may not be resolved. Only when all of us barbarian tribes disappear from this world will this world be at peace. However, please rest assured, when the teleportation array is about to close, I will definitely return. My return to the barren lands is merely to facilitate your calculations, so that your calculation results will be accurate. If you don't trust me, you can make your move now."
