Chapter 1964: Chapter 1963: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Li Feng did not hide anything from the two women, and shared his general experiences with them.

"So now you’re pretending to be a member of the Fire Phoenix Clan, not only that, you’re the owner of the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, the one most hated by the Demon Country."

During the past six months in the Sheep Clan, Li Nianqing spent most of her time not only improving her cultivation but also gathering information about the Kunlun World. Being within the Demon Country, she learned many secrets of the demon clans from the Sheep Clan people.

Among them, naturally, there was no shortage of grievances and disputes between the Vermilion Bird and Fire Phoenix clans.

"You’re impersonating a member of the Fire Phoenix Clan and recruiting demons under your banner. What are you thinking? Are you not afraid of being exposed? At that time, you won’t even have a chance to escape."

Chen Xiaoyue did not expect Li Feng to be so audacious, directly impersonating a demon clan to deceive the demons. If Li Feng hadn’t told them this, they would have thought he had some fortunate encounter that got him noticed by the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Now it seems Li Feng is completely fearless.

"Heh, if I hadn’t told you, would you have suspected my identity?" Li Feng chuckled lightly and looked at the two women.

Li Nianqing was momentarily stunned, then realized it was indeed true. Who would suspect that someone was pretending?

This had the element of being hidden in plain sight, plus Li Feng had the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, which was actually in lineage with the Fire Phoenix Clan. Hence, Li Feng impersonating the Fire Phoenix Clan was unquestionable to many demons.

After all, demon clans judge based on bloodlines. Low-rank demon clans wouldn’t dare comment on high-rank demon clans. Even if they hear some gossip, they would only spread it in small circles and not broadly declare it.

Moreover, demons mostly exist in tribal forms, many demons have not even been to the Demon Capital, let alone recognize any high-rank bloodline demon tribes. Therefore, these low-rank demons wouldn’t question the authenticity of Li Feng.

Li Nianqing understood this point but still couldn’t relax: "You might get away with impersonating the Fire Phoenix Clan along the way, but once you reach the demon clan’s forward camp, the demons there are not like the low-rank ones encountered on the way. There will definitely be descendants of high-ranked demon clans, and if anyone questions your identity, do you have a plan then?"

Chen Xiaoyue nodded on the side, pretending isn’t a long-term solution, once discovered it will be disastrous.

Li Feng smiled and said, "Heh, I’ll just insist I’m a member of the Fire Phoenix Clan. If anyone doubts, I’ll just eliminate the doubter, and who would dare question me then?"

Li Feng’s response left Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue speechless.

"You, this...!"

"Haha, it’s actually not as complicated as you think. The more flamboyant I act, ironically I’m safer. If I act secretively, it will arouse suspicion."

"The demon armies at the north border of First Line Pass will number in the tens of thousands, all coming from the countless tribes of Demon Country. As far as I know, many tribes don’t even interact, let alone recognize each other."

"As for the Fire Phoenix Clan I’m impersonating, from what I’ve learned, since the Vermilion Bird betrayed and established its own faction, the Fire Phoenix Clan has completely retreated from the core of the demon country’s power and has gone into hiding."

"The Fire Phoenix Clan has not appeared for hundreds of years, so I reckon in the Demon Country, there won’t be many qualified to converse with the Fire Phoenix Clan."

"Even if there is, it would take time to verify authenticity. Before this, I have subdued the Mountain-piercing Clan, which excels in tunneling and digging, as a contingency."

Li Feng knew this was just wishful thinking, but sometimes it’s like this, you can never have all favorable conditions, so taking risks is inevitable.

But Li Feng had assessed the feasibility, and it was at least fifty-fifty.

His boldness was actually a kind of deception, the more cautious you are, the more people covet you. But when you act openly, would anyone suspect you are an imposter?

This is actually a kind of psychological suggestion.

Li Feng just has to make it known he is a descendant of the Fire Phoenix Clan, and is here to revive the glory of the clan. As long as he plays this card, under first impressions, who would doubt his impersonation?

Unless, he is really unlucky to find Fire Phoenix Clan members in the camp.

But if he’s truly that unlucky, Li Feng can only concede defeat and find a way to break out of the demon camp and reach First Line Pass.

After all, the demon front camp is only thirty to fifty miles from First Line Pass.

"Oh, now I know why. You had your eyes on the Mountain-piercing Clan early on, so that’s why you wanted to spar, right?"

Chen Xiaoyue thought about Li Feng’s actions in the morning.

Li Nianqing glanced at Li Feng: "If that’s the case, it’s actually killing three birds with one stone. Although your plan is a bit crude, thinking from a different perspective, it might indeed go as you think, and no one would doubt your identity."

At least in the Sheep Clan, no one questioned Li Feng’s impersonation.

And Li Feng recruited many demon guards along the way. This not only boosts momentum but also sends a message to other demon clans that he is from the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Otherwise, are all these demons blind, swearing allegiance to a fake Fire Phoenix Clan descendant? This is the herd mentality.

When most people think this way, even if a few question, it would be drowned out.

As for a detailed plan, it doesn’t really exist. Any detailed plan in execution will have deviations. After all, not all matters are a fixed quantity, hence plans never keep up with changes.

But having a contingency is better than scrambling last minute.

"But, this might harm a lot of demons." Li Nianqing bitterly smiled. Once Li Feng escapes, all the demon guards beside him will face doom. Li Nianqing wouldn’t care about other demons, but the Sheep Clan did show kindness to her and Chen Xiaoyue.

"Are you worried about the Sheep Clan?"

Li Nianqing nodded slightly.

Li Feng shrugged: "I might inadvertently harm them, but it’s a helpless situation. Besides, the Sheep Clan is just accompanying me to the front camp and hasn’t joined my ranks, so there’s still some leeway. When we reach the camp, they can simply leave."

"What about Ruyi then?"

Li Nianqing asked.

"That ditzy girl, she’ll just have to be unlucky. Some things can’t be told to her, otherwise you and I would both be in trouble."

"However, I can assure you I won’t harm her."

Li Feng said.

Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue exchanged a glance, evidently feeling helpless: "Fine, I hope you keep your word."

"We’ll return for now, let’s pretend we don’t know each other for the time being."

Li Nianqing stood up and said.

"Alright."

Li Feng also stood up and escorted the two women out of the camp, watching them leave before turning around and looking towards a shadowy spot in the camp: "Come out."
