Chapter 1951: Chapter 1950: Passing Off Counterfeit as Genuine

Li Feng sat on the back of the horned rhinoceros beast, and Sikong Yu, who was beside him, took the initiative to ask. Li Feng did not conceal anything.

"Plans can never keep up with changes. Previously, I intended to directly sweep through the Demon Clan camp and fight my way back, but after subduing the Shi Xing tribe and observing their behavior, I feel that fighting our way back like this might yield some results, and we can eliminate quite a few from the Demon Clan."

"However, our whereabouts would soon be exposed. Now that we have a scapegoat in the pig-headed people, why not make good use of it?"

"Let Shi Xing pose as wolf riders and go to the front camp, stabilizing the demon slave soldiers stationed there, and continue to keep them stationed. If there are any demons who discover something amiss, any inquiries can only lead to a different version of the story."

"The pig-headed people rebelled, and their master took people to suppress it. As long as there are no more incidents in the upcoming camps, the Demon Clan will realize nothing."

"After all, these demons operate in a tribal system, and many tribes rarely interact with outsiders except for their people. Even now, when moving troops, they are still tribe-centric and are not familiar with each other, so after three to five waves, no demons will notice our presence."

Sikong Yu listened to Li Feng’s reasoning: "So you’re planning to impersonate the Demon Clan?"

"That is indeed a method, but are you sure you can fool them?"

Sikong Yu said.

Li Feng curled his lips and looked at Sikong Yu: "Have you forgotten that previous camp where they mistook us for the Feather Clan? And within the Demon Clan, the bloodline hierarchy divides into ranks, with the Feather Clan being an upper-class bloodline, naturally noble. Who would suspect us?"

"Or rather, who would dare suspect us."

"You and I can impersonate the Feather Clan, but what about the others?"

Sikong Yu frowned and said, Li Feng chuckled: "Have you forgotten the existence of the Ten Demon Hall? The Ten Demon Hall has always been the vanguard of the Demon Country. We, as two noble Feather Clan, having some guards from the Ten Demon Hall isn’t excessive, right?"

"Moreover, we won’t just have human guards from the Ten Demon Hall; there will be more tribal guards."

"Hmm?"

Sikong Yu looked at Li Feng in surprise, somewhat confused.

Li Feng curled his lips, giving an evil smile and said, "As the eldest daughter of the Sikong family, naturally you wouldn’t understand the thoughts of those who have nothing. Sometimes, a glimmer of hope is enough to make many risk their lives for it."

The daylight brightened.

The camp was also faintly visible in the distance.

When Li Feng and his group appeared in front of the camp gates, not only were Shi Xing and the others there, but many from the Demon Clan were also at the gate.

"Master."

Upon seeing Li Feng, Shi Xing immediately stepped forward, and Li Feng looked down loftily, glancing at those below. The demons all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Hmm, because of those stupid pig-headed ones yesterday, I didn’t sleep well at all last night. Let’s go inside first."

"Yes."

Shi Xing immediately signaled the others to make way, and the subservient demeanor he displayed was fully seen by the demons stationed at the camp.

"This damned luck, he really struck it lucky by cozying up to a noble on his trip out."

"Who would disagree? Why can’t we be so lucky?"

Though the Wolf Clan is one of the Eight Tribes, in terms of nobility, it seems to fall short of the Feather Clan. The small commander of the Wolf Clan they serve is also a master difficult to please, treating them with disdain and resorting to violence at every whim.

In a spacious tent.

Li Feng sat down and looked at Shi Xing: "What response did those demons have to what you told them?"

"Hehe, in response to Master, these guys didn’t have the slightest suspicion and instead envied me for climbing up to you."

"Hmm, well done. Once you leave later, go find those people and tell them I’m heading north this time to establish merit, but lack soldiers. Therefore, by special grace, those demons will be allowed to be selected to serve as my guards."

"As for the selection criteria, Lei Ba, you take some people over."

"Camp Master, will we be exposed if we go over?" Lei Ba asked with some concern.

"No, I’ve already had Shi Xing lay the groundwork, saying that you are descendants of the Ten Demon Hall and are following me to earn a future. They won’t question it. The more open and aboveboard you are, the less suspicion there will be."

Li Feng said.

"When you go, show an imposing presence, you can even be a bit arrogant. Also, select three to five dozen usable ones from the demons, not too many, but not too few."

"Yes, Camp Master."

Lei Ba then led people away.

"Let the others rest well. Senior Bi Fang, I’ll need you to do me a favor, head to the previous camp, or even at the mountainside, to observe the movements of the Demon Clan."

Bi Fang rolled her eyes at Li Feng’s request but didn’t refuse. After all, she was also quite curious about Li Feng’s methods.

"Alright, leave it to me."

"Li Feng, what you’re doing is playing with fire. There are demons everywhere; if we don’t hurry back to the First Line Pass and you keep messing around here, aren’t you afraid of getting caught when discovered?"

Ouyang Qiuhai said, trying to dampen the mood.

"As long as you don’t go blabbing, who would know?"

"You."

Ouyang Qiuhai glared fiercely at Li Feng: "Let’s see how you deal with it if you mess up."

"Shadow, go scout around."

Of course, Li Feng wouldn’t get too cocky. He sent Shadow to see if any demons were suspicious. As for whether these demons would counter in turn, Li Feng wasn’t worried. They were just some lower-ranking demons; if they had such insight, they wouldn’t be slave soldiers.

Though the Demon Clan established a nation, internal governance still depends on the tribal system. The upper level only adopted some national structures for the convenience of campaigns, somewhat similar to nomadic tribes. Each tribe acts independently most of the time and only gathers military forces when war breaks out.

Shadow turned and left.

Sikong Yu, listening to Li Feng’s arrangements, also gasped deeply. If Ouyang Qiuhai thought carefully, he would surely realize the terrifying extent of Li Feng’s arrangements. However, it seemed like Ouyang Qiuhai and Li Feng were naturally at odds, always clashing.

That’s why Ouyang Qiuhai wouldn’t contemplate the deeper meaning of Li Feng’s actions, but Sikong Yu kept calm.

Combining Li Feng’s actions before and after, Sikong Yu noticed that if everything went as Li Feng envisioned, he might carve out an unexpected path.

By then, it might not just be about killing a few thousand or tens of thousands of demons. When enough demons gather around Li Feng, even if he openly appears before the Demon Clan, no one would believe he was a human cultivator from the Ancestor Dragon City.

As the saying goes, lighting under a lamp is dark.

But when you stand under the spotlight, who would suspect the person in full view to be a fraud? Surely not everyone can be a fool, leaving you the only wise one?
