The old woman continued forward after killing the Red Alert soldiers. With her current strength, she could sense no powerful figures around; she could dominate this place with ease.
Ever since the two guards returned to the sect and spread news about Qin Feng, she happened to overhear them. She then used her charm technique to control the two guards, learning about Qin Feng and discovering he was exceptionally wealthy. Among the barbarian people, those as generous as Qin Feng were few and far between.
Consequently, she developed a strong interest in Qin Feng, wanting to meet him and, at the same time, firmly grasp this "gold mine" in her hands. She was also very curious about the mysterious shop in the barbarian people's minds. As long as she controlled Qin Feng, she would control that mysterious shop.
Even if he had no money, she wouldn't care. As long as the shop had items she liked, she would lead the controlled barbarian people to the money-rich barren lands. There, they would encounter fierce monsters. Killing them would only yield some fur, but by severely injuring the monsters and letting the barbarian people finish them off, they could obtain money and purchase what she needed from the shop. This was a very profitable deal.
As far as she knew, she wasn't the only one with this idea, and some experts had already taken action. When the next teleportation array opened, experts would lead barbarian people to the barren world to hunt monsters. She didn't want to miss this great opportunity. Instead of searching for barbarian people elsewhere, it was better to capture Qin Feng nearby, making him her servant who would obey her commands. After all, Qin Feng was richer than other barbarian people and closer to her.
As the old woman walked, she used a long-distance transmission to let Qin Feng hear her voice and know her purpose for coming here.
"I heard you are very wealthy, and I am very interested in you. If you become my servant, I will bestow upon you glory, wealth, and absolute security. I am only interested in the shop in your mind. Don't hide anymore; come out quickly. In the face of absolute power, you absolutely cannot escape. Coming out sooner can save you some suffering. If you play hide-and-seek with me, I will make you wish you were dead. As long as you appear before me, I will absolutely not harm you. I swear it."
Qin Feng believed the old woman's words because she didn't need to take any action; with just her charm technique, he would become completely subservient to her.
Ye Shen, standing beside him, spat and cursed, "This old witch is truly shameless! To think we would surrender without a fight, it's a pipe dream."
Qin Feng said, "She probably doesn't know who I am, so she assumes I'm unaware of the charm technique. She wants to use it to completely control me when I get close. This old woman isn't lying, but unfortunately, we've met before, and I know all about the charm technique!"
After saying this, Qin Feng walked away. He glanced at Ye Shen and said, "Listen to my instructions and be ready to activate the formation at any time. Let your illusion array cause her some trouble first and distract her!"
Ye Shen nodded upon hearing this.
The old woman walked step by step. She could sense many people around. What didn't surprise her was that the strength of these people was very low, at most some well-trained soldiers. These people would be more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but for a true cultivator, especially one at her level, they were simply a joke.
The old witch sensed the Red Alert soldiers ambushing her and laughed, "You don't think these people can contend with me, do you? Come out quickly if you know what's good for you, and don't let these people die in vain. Killing them is as easy as crushing an ant. Ordinary people are like ants to cultivators."
After speaking, the old woman continued forward, choosing to ignore the surrounding Red Alert soldiers. Killing them would only waste her time and energy. She didn't sense that these Red Alert soldiers were the same as the guard she encountered when she first entered this area – mere existences without souls, only bodies. If she had discovered this, she would have been extremely surprised.
After all, controlling so many puppets was difficult even for people from the Demonic Sect.
Moreover, these Red Alert soldiers held small formation flags. If the old woman killed any one of them, she would notice that something was amiss here. It was precisely because of her arrogance that she was stepping into the trap step by step.
As she walked, she impatiently said, "Stop playing hide-and-seek with me. Although you've hidden your aura well, the gap in our strength is immense. Your hiding methods are useless to me. I can already sense where you are. Don't keep moving, or once my patience runs out, you will taste hell."
Her words still received no response, and the figure she sensed continued to move. The old woman stopped, her anger growing.
She decided she would no longer play this cat-and-mouse game and would directly capture Qin Feng.
Now, hundreds of people were moving rapidly around her. However, the old woman could clearly sense one person with the strongest power amidst these hundreds. Although his aura was well-hidden, with her strength, she could still sense him clearly.
With a swift movement, her entire body shot forward like a cannonball, flying at high speed through the air. In the blink of an eye, she had traveled over a thousand meters.
Her aerial flight was extremely fast, and her target was the person with the strongest power.
Because that person must be Qin Feng, that barbarian who kept acquiring medicinal herbs.
The old woman's speed was incredibly fast. She took two more steps in the air, accelerating again, and in the blink of an eye, she had traveled over ten thousand meters. Although the distance to her target was considerable, with such high-speed movement, she reached him in an instant. She grabbed the person by the neck and laughed, "Did you think this cat-and-mouse game was fun? Do you realize the gap in our strength now?"
After saying this, she suddenly felt something was wrong because the person she had grabbed gave her the same feeling as the puppet she encountered when she first entered this area.
Thinking of this, her brow furrowed. Then she saw that the person she had captured was holding a large steel device with a red light that was constantly flashing.
A sense of crisis filled her heart.
She quickly stomped on the ground and flew away at high speed, and then the steel device let out a huge roar.
