Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "Naturally, it's through financial resources. The Treasure Pavilion has detailed information on Fate Masters. I've studied a great deal of relevant material and participated in countless large-scale sacrifices and campaigns.
I've even witnessed the cruel scenes of Fate Masters offering cities as sacrifices. The disasters caused by Fate Masters always require the sacrifice of countless young boys and girls. It's truly appalling.
Several mutations have affected surrounding major cities. I've estimated that at least ten thousand children are needed. Later, I discovered the secret mechanisms of the Fate Masters, and that's how I came up with this plan.
As for you Fire Demons, your rapid arrival here is also due to the teleportation array, right?
Your ambitions are not limited to the Profound Light Continent. You have a presence on every continent. Old Demon mentioned that this teleportation efficiency gives you more than enough time, seven days to be exact."
Leng Xiaoyao laughed slyly, "Your plan is truly interlocking, link by link.
Although the teleportation array is extremely expensive, it's a strategic necessity, crucial for both retreat and surprise attacks.
After helping you kill Ancestor Qingyun, Old Demon's soul must be returned to us. Otherwise, you will be the number one enemy of the Demon race, and you will hardly escape the name of public enemy on the human side."
Li Chengfeng laughed heartily, "Don't worry, Old Demon's soul is useless to me. It's just a remnant soul. You can have it.
Once the task is completed, I will naturally let him reunite with you."
Leng Xiaoyao nodded solemnly, "A promise made."
"Is a debt unpaid!" Li Chengfeng responded decisively.
Then, Leng Xiaoyao took out a flag and asked, "The Dwarf Demons are ready. How will you mix them into the hands of the Fate Masters, creating a convincing fake? Is that your skill?
With that, he waved the flag gently, and two Dwarf Demons appeared out of thin air. They looked just like children, petite and adorable, but in reality, they were Dwarf warriors of the Demon race. Although they were cannon fodder, their numbers were vast and not to be underestimated.
Li Chengfeng examined them and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad. Old Demon's vision is indeed sharp.
Leave these Dwarf Demons to me. You don't need to worry about the follow-up matters. I will arrange everything properly and 'send' them to the hands of the enforcement team."
The corners of Leng Xiaoyao's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of trust in his eyes, "I trust your ability. I entrust these ten thousand Dwarf Demon warriors to you.
Although they are sacrificed for the Demon race, it can be considered an honor.
This Flame Demon Flag is my natal magic treasure, containing a space within. I now present it to you for use, but remember to return it perfectly."
His words carried a subtle and imperceptible meaning, and the smile on his lips made people feel inexplicably uneasy.
Li Chengfeng remained calm on the surface, but he already understood the calculations behind it.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Flame Flag landed firmly in his palm.
Under the touch, a surge of majestic power surged from the flag, making him deeply aware of the extraordinary nature of this magic treasure.
Leng Xiaoyao, as an elite of the Fire Demon race, his methods were extremely clever, as one could see.
Giving this treasure, although containing ten thousand Dwarf Demons, was more like a carefully arranged game.
However, Li Chengfeng was prepared. His substitute puppet smiled calmly, as if everything was under control: "Lord Leng is generous. I will temporarily keep this treasure.
Please review the plan to see if there are any adjustments needed."
With that, a jade scroll containing the plan flew towards Leng Xiaoyao. The other party took it, and his divine sense sank into it. After a moment, his expression changed unpredictably, and finally he exclaimed, "Wonderful plan, truly ingenious!"
"In that case, our Demon race will prepare first. This junior wishes you success." After Leng Xiaoyao finished speaking, he led the Demon race team away, his back revealing a sense of determination and anticipation.
Li Chengfeng's disciple returned, his expression calm, obviously understanding the other party's intention. A whirlwind rose under his feet, and he disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already hundreds of miles away. After several teleportations, his traces were completely gone.
Leng Xiaoyao and his Demon race party did not leave far. They watched the direction in which Li Chengfeng disappeared.
One of the Demon Kings said in a deep voice, "This kid has extraordinary courage, daring to cooperate with us.
But those who have cooperated with us in the past rarely have a good ending. What we pursue is the maximization of benefits."
Leng Xiaoyao heard this and shook his head gently, his eyes deep: "The primary goal of our trip is to retrieve that Tribulation Transcendence stage Demon Soul. Its value far exceeds everything else.
We failed to recognize its true identity back then. Now that we know it has the potential of a Half-Step Demon Emperor, the secrets and Demon race wisdom it contains will be the key for me to advance to Half-Step Demon Emperor.
It can also enhance my say in the Demon race. Therefore, a small lack of patience will spoil great plans. We must act according to Li Chengfeng's plan."
The Demon Kings heard this and expressed their respect. Leng Xiaoyao's majesty and wisdom convinced them.
He knew that Li Chengfeng's actions were no small matter. Killing an old monster who was a Half-Step God Transformation was by no means easy, even with their full assistance, it was full of unknowns.
However, Li Chengfeng seemed confident, which made Leng Xiaoyao both curious and vigilant.
He thought to himself, what does Li Chengfeng rely on to dare to challenge such a powerful existence? Is it for the illusory Qingyun Ancestor's treasure trove?
Or is it for the safety of those ten thousand young boys and girls? But on second thought, how could Li Chengfeng, as a member of the Demonic Path, easily take risks for mortals? There must be greater interests driving him.
Leng Xiaoyao analyzed carefully, but still could not see through Li Chengfeng's true purpose.
He understood that if he could grasp Li Chengfeng's true intentions, the Demon race would be able to gain the upper hand, and might even be able to directly control the entire situation.
But for now, they could only stand still, wait for the opportunity, and secretly observe, looking for possible flaws.
-----
Zhan Wusi felt a splitting headache, all because of the order from above, ordering her to sneak into a nearby major city and quietly kidnap ten thousand young boys and girls. As soon as this order came out, cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
This act was truly against the heavens, contrary to morality, and even involved the forbidden realm of the Demonic Path. The order of the Qingyun Sect was as heavy as Mount Tai, how could she dare to disobey it?
However, if she obeyed, she would also be stepping into the abyss. Once exposed, she would inevitably be pushed to the execution ground and executed in the name of the Demonic Path. Moreover, she was originally a traitor of the Blood Demon Sect. At that time, she would become a scapegoat. Her hands trembled and her heart was cold, but she had no choice but to do it.
For these cultivators, capturing mortal children was as easy as reaching into a bag to grab something, but what they feared was that the news would leak out. At that time, Zhan Wusi would become the target of public criticism. Her great revenge had not been avenged, but new hatred was added. Her heart was unwilling and indescribable.
Staring at the compass in her hand, she closed her eyes and pondered. This time, the Qingyun Sect had sent two hundred Qi Refining disciples to help, all of whom were at the bottom of the outer sect, obviously treating them as abandoned pawns, intending to sacrifice them.
Zhan Wusi was burning with anger, her head aching like it was splitting, but she was helpless.
Just as she was in unbearable pain, a gust of cold wind suddenly attacked, and she turned pale with pain and fell to the ground with a bang, crying out in pain, but this place was shrouded in a hidden formation, and not a trace of sound could be transmitted to the outside world.
When the pain subsided slightly, Zhan Wusi realized that there was one more person in the room, wearing a black robe, with sharp eyes. It was actually Li Chengfeng's number one substitute ghost.
He said with a sneer: "Zhan Wusi, you have great courage, betraying the Blood Demon Sect and daring to plot against me?
You should know that those who want to harm me will not end well. Today, Li is here in person to collect this debt."
Zhan Wusi looked up and was so frightened that her soul flew away. Her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground with a "plop", tears streaming down like a spring.
She said in a trembling voice: "So it's Fellow Daoist Li. You secretly planted a trick in the depths of my soul in the Ghost Valley Secret Realm, and I didn't even realize it.
I have no intention of being your enemy. I know that the strength is too different, and it is difficult to have a chance of winning.
But if this revenge is not avenged, I swear not to be a human being. The revenge for my son, I must personally seek from Qiu Yunhe.
Helplessly, I betrayed the Blood Demon Sect and joined the Qingyun Sect, using the pursuit of you as a cover for the real purpose of killing Qiu Yunhe."
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet had piercing eyes, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth: "That's for sure, how could I not do something to your soul in my hands?
I don't care about your reasons.
At this moment, your life and death are in my hands. With just a thought, your soul will be scattered.
However, God has the virtue of good life. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will not only help you avenge your revenge, but also help you escape the shackles of the Qingyun Sect."
