Qin Fengming had naturally noticed the old man's sneak attack long ago,
With his wealth of combat experience and powerful spiritual sense, he had already sensed something was amiss when the old man took out the Jade Box. Although the strange glint that flashed through the old man's eyes had been extremely subtle, how could it possibly escape Qin Fengming's spiritual sense?
Even the strand of black silk the old man had concealed atop the Jade Box had failed to evade Qin Fengming's detection,
Given Qin Fengming's knowledge, he had immediately judged the function of that strand of black thread. Thus, he had played along with the scheme, bringing the Green Soul Silk within his body out to the surface to guard his dantian and sea of consciousness before directly touching the Jade Box,
What happened afterward naturally proved Qin Fengming's conjecture,
Qin Fengming naturally recognized that pitch-black thread. It was something transformed from an extremely sinister secret art of the yin soul. Such a treasure happened to be tremendously nourishing to the Green Soul Silk,
Now that he had captured everyone, he naturally had no more mercy to spare. With a flash of his body, he arrived before the old man he had knocked down first. After thoroughly searching his belongings, he directly stored him inside the Spirit Beast Bracelet, placing him in the space where the Silver Sheath Worms were kept,
He then came before the old man who had led the group and proceeded in the same manner, too lazy even to wake him and interrogate him,
The dozen or so captured cultivators were searched as well, but Qin Fengming did not feed them directly to the spirit beasts. Instead, he kept them alive, intending to fuse their souls into the Green Soul Silk before killing them
