Qin Feng wasn't gambling; he knew the Immortal Venerable wouldn't make a move against him.
As fellow cultivators, the other party's realm was far beyond Qin Feng's reach. To achieve such a level, broad-mindedness and righteousness were indispensable. The Immortal Venerable would never kill him simply because he had challenged his authority.
Furthermore, he had been forthright and hadn't deceived the Immortal Venerable, so he wasn't worried about being killed for deception. If the Immortal Venerable was unsure whether he had been lied to, he would investigate thoroughly before making a judgment. He would never act based on Qin Feng's wild guesses.
As expected, the Immortal Venerable immediately waved his hand to stop the elders under his command. He said to those around him, "I can sense that he is not lying. Even if he were lying to me, I would pursue him to the Savage World and make him pay the price. This time, let us believe him and let him leave."
Upon hearing this, the elders of the Taishi Sect immediately came forward to dissuade him. "Immortal Venerable, if you are not sure whether this brat has deceived us, why not keep him by your side? This way, when we have investigated clearly, we can deal with him as quickly as possible. If he escapes to the Savage World and hides, it will be very difficult for us to find him. Even if the Immortal Venerable has vast powers, traveling to the Savage World would be a waste of your time. There is no need for us to obey this brat's every word."
Another person added, "Indeed! Keeping him by our side, Immortal Venerable, would serve multiple purposes. It would prevent him from escaping and also stop him from appropriating the treasures we worked so hard to obtain. Who knows what schemes he has in mind? Keeping him close renders all his plans useless. However, if we let him go, it will be very troublesome to find him later!"
Hearing these words, the Immortal Venerable frowned. He stood up and said, "Do you dare to disobey my orders? Clear the path immediately and let them leave. I have my own plans for this matter, and no one is to obstruct them."
"Yes!" Hearing this, the elders of the Taishi Sect had no choice but to make way, and Qin Feng led his group out of the room.
He headed directly towards the teleportation array.
Before long, the spiritual energy suddenly became dense, and then rows of teleportation arrays appeared before them. Each teleportation array was extremely complex and occupied a different area. Small teleportation arrays could only accommodate one person, while large ones could accommodate hundreds of people simultaneously. In front of these teleportation arrays stood some experts whose cultivation levels were all above Qin Feng's. Each of them seemed to have their own mission, like guardians of these teleportation arrays.
Seeing Qin Feng's puzzled expression, Wang Feng explained, "The smallest teleportation station can only accommodate one person and transmits to the central region, where there are fewer people, hence the smaller teleportation array. It's a place not many people go to. There are few cultivation sects in the central region, and not much in the way of cultivation resources. To enter the central region, you only need to give the guardian of the teleportation array 100 spirit stones! The largest teleportation array can accommodate 2,000 people simultaneously, with each person needing to pay 1,000 spirit stones. It transmits to the Extreme Desert! However, paying 1,000 spirit stones doesn't guarantee the activation of the teleportation array to enter the Extreme Desert. You need to gather 2,000 people. This is because activating such a teleportation array consumes a massive amount of spiritual power. If there aren't enough people, there won't be enough spirit stones, and without enough spirit stones, the teleportation array cannot be activated. As for the second largest teleportation array, it can accommodate 1,000 people at a time. This teleportation array transmits to the Savage Land. It has no requirement for the number of people; even one person can activate it because this teleportation array is special; it consumes different amounts of spiritual power depending on the number of people, but the price is much higher. It costs 2,000 spirit stones per person to enter."
Upon hearing Wang Feng's explanation, Qin Feng understood. He then turned to Wang Feng and said, "We need to return to the Savage World now. Wait for us here. We will return when the teleportation array is closed. Having you wait for us here will give us great peace of mind. At the very least, when we return, you will be there to receive us, and no one will harm us. Some people in the Taishi Sect have great opinions of me. To prevent them from causing trouble, I need you to keep an eye on things here. Is that okay?"
Hearing this, Wang Feng shook her head. "Wouldn't it be better if I went into the Savage World with you? I've heard that the monsters there are very powerful, and if you kill them, you can get many benefits. My strength is much greater than yours, so wouldn't it be better for me to go in and help you? The Immortal Venerable has already spoken, and they absolutely wouldn't dare to act rashly."
Qin Feng shook his head. "I won't be in any danger in the Savage World. On the contrary, there are many variables here. You are someone I can trust. Having you stay here to plan for me will give me great peace of mind."
Hearing this, Wang Feng felt an indescribable joy, and a brilliant smile appeared on her face. She said to Qin Feng, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to scheme against you! Three days later, when you return, you will be the same as you are now! And I will be waiting for you here all the time!"
After saying this, Ye Shen, who was beside them, got goosebumps. She looked at Qin Feng and Wang Feng and said, "Let's leave quickly. If we stay here any longer, I won't be able to stand it!"
With that, she was the first to step into the teleportation array.
Qin Feng also directed his Red Alert soldiers towards the teleportation array, following closely behind.
The expert guarding the teleportation array glanced at Qin Feng and his group and then said, "Do you know the rules? 2,000 spirit stones per person. Are you paying together, or one by one? The teleportation array can only be activated after the spirit stones are paid!"
Qin Feng was not one for unnecessary words. He directly took out the spirit stones from his storage ring and paid the fee.
The guard directly placed the spirit stones into a device nearby, and the teleportation array activated.
A dazzling white light descended from the sky, followed by a dizzying sensation that made Qin Feng unable to distinguish direction.
When he regained his senses, he found himself back in the cave.
Here, over 700 corpses lay scattered about. The remaining 300 survivors had already escaped the cave.
However, Qin Feng had set up an illusion array here, and they were lost in the illusion, unable to find their way out completely.
The two people Qin Feng had tied up for trading information were still in the cave. They were guarded by Red Alert soldiers, so their companions did not dare to rescue them when they returned; instead, they chose to flee.
All of them knew that a powerful figure had taken over the area. If they were caught, it would be a dead end.
These people had been living prosperously in the cultivation world, but for some reason, the Immortal Venerable had suddenly ordered them to be sent back. After extensive inquiries, they learned that someone from the Savage World was going to send them back. They didn't know who was doing this, but they understood that the person who was determined to send them back must have had a grudge against them and would not let them off easily.
If there was no grudge, no one would do such a thing!
