Chapter 2055: Chapter 2054: Li Feng’s Calculations

"Hmph."

A delicate snort came from beneath the cloak followed by a pair of jade hands lifting the straw hat: "Feng Yang, you do love showing off."

The Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan gazed at Li Feng with eyes filled with traces of resentment, after all, just yesterday she had been thoroughly embarrassed by him.

"Your guess isn’t wrong, this journey indeed revolves around me. So, Feng Yang, are you unwilling to accompany me?"

The Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan gave a contemptuous smile, and her phoenix-like eyes were filled with provocation.

"Having said that, I’m indeed a bit hesitant."

"I see the Holy Daughter surrounded by masters, shouldn’t be lacking someone like me. Safe travels, I won’t be escorting you."

"Chong Xuan, see the guest out."

Li Feng suddenly turned around, waving his hand to dismiss the guest.

The Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan never thought her provocation wouldn’t work, and the other party would shamelessly back down.

"Feng Yang, aren’t you a man still?"

Li Feng paused his steps, turned around to look at the Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan: "Hah, I’m not, but are you, or do you want to try?"

"You...!"

The Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan had never encountered such a rogue before, as the Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan, she was always noble and revered like the moon among stars, never had she been treated so rudely.

The Lion King Wanyan Da, watching from the side, stepped forward with an air of dominance: "Feng Yang, didn’t I just say, whether you go isn’t up to you."

On the other side, Lion King Wanyan Chu, appearing more strategic: "Feng Yang, this isn’t just a command from our clan’s Lion Commander, but a strategy jointly formulated by the Three Marshals and the Fox Clan, issuing the command."

"Currently, the Three Marshals lead our three clans’ Demon Kings in a fierce attack on First Line Pass. If because of you, the strategy fails, causing the siege to fail."

"Hah, Feng Yang wanting to restore the glory of the Fire Phoenix Clan, is likely forever a dream. After all, disobeying orders on the battlefield is reason enough to justly execute you."

In the main tent, tension rose instantly, the atmosphere heavy.

After a while, Li Feng suddenly laughed: "Ha, just kidding, being able to travel with the Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan, the most beautiful woman among the Demon Clan, I am eagerly anticipating."

"Did the Lion Commander’s side say how many people I should bring with me?"

Wanyan Da sneered coldly, yet Wanyan Chu spoke: "Not many people, this journey isn’t about conquest, the opponent should be the formidable of Ancestor Dragon City, so at least elite Demon Generals must accompany, otherwise there’s no use in going."

"Alright, everyone wait outside for a moment, I’ll give orders and come out promptly."

"We shall wait outside."

The Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan and the others turned and left the main tent.

"Hmph, I thought Feng Yang would outright refuse, isn’t he just backing down in the end," Wanyan Da sneered coldly.

"Speak less, do you really think he wouldn’t dare to face us? If he were truly afraid, he wouldn’t have had such a fierce battle with Wanyan Hao yesterday."

Wanyan Chu clearly didn’t think the other was simply backing down: "Able to bend and adapt, this person is not simple."

The Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan also nodded.

"Indeed, he is a tough character."

Inside the main tent.

"Camp Master, you shouldn’t go, it might be a trap."

Shadow appeared beside, directly advising.

Beside, Chong Xuan also sighed: "This journey is likely a trap, even if it’s not, once the Young Master bypasses First Line Pass, to launch a surprise attack on Northern Camp, the Young Master will be in a dilemma whether or not to make a move."

"But this journey cannot be avoided, if the Young Master defies command, it’s open rebellion, then the opposition has ample reason to act against the Young Master."

"This is an overt scheme."

Li Feng naturally thought of this, and said: "I’ve thought of all this, and I’m certain they’ll make a move against me on this trip."

"Camp Master, I’ll gather those we can use, if they dare make a move against us, we won’t be easy targets, we’ll fight to the death," Shadow said through gritted teeth.

Li Feng shook his head slightly: "No need for too many by my side, rather, what worries me more is someone consolidating the Demon Clan here after I leave, directly extinguishing the fire beneath the cauldron."

"So within the camp, there needs to be someone to hold the fort."

"Chong Xuan, you need to stay."

Before Chong Xuan could answer, Shadow protested: "Camp Master, if you don’t bring Master Chong Xuan, won’t you be fighting alone, please, at least bring Master Chong Xuan, if there’s someone plotting within the camp, we will fight and won’t let them succeed easily."

Li Feng gently pressed down on the agitated Shadow, saying: "Alright, I’m not easily taken, even if I can’t win, I can escape. Compared to me here, this camp is the weak point."

"Not counting those allied Demon Clans, just looking at the core of those ten thousand demons, even though I’ve subdued them, and they bear my mark, without me, and lacking a strong figure to hold the fort, the opposition just needs to send a Demon King to seize control."

"After all, I’ve known these Demon Clans for too short a time, while I can command them, not all commands will be obeyed."

"This moment, though a crisis, is also an opportunity. If the opposition does come to seize control of my military power, and a conflict arises, it can be used to fully win these Demon clans."

Within Li Feng’s camp, though there are tens of thousands of demons, aside from over two hundred trusted aides brought from Ancestor Dragon, others have been under him for no more than a month, it’s uncertain if they would follow if Li Feng defected, let alone those not part of his guard.

Though Li Feng branded them with Phoenix Flame.

Ultimately, the time is too short to win their hearts, and those demon tribes he hasn’t absorbed as guards wouldn’t be reliable.

Just as before, leading thirty or forty thousand demons, he was met with such a show of force from Silver Moon’s cavalry of the Wolf Clan that caused half his followers to scatter.

Li Feng actively asking these demons to follow him in defection wouldn’t work, but what if forced by the opposition?

Those who came to follow Li Feng are from middle to lower tiers of the demon tribes in Demon Country, facing high-tier demons, these tribes are treated always as cannon fodder, receiving no respect.

If the opposition sends people with arrogance to seize control, just some subtle maneuvers could unite these demons in shared enmity.

Li Feng shared some of his calculations with Chong Xuan, who listened and took a deep breath: "Alright, I’ll hold the fort here for the Young Master, but the crux of everything still lies with the Young Master, if you can’t return, then all is lost."

"The opposition, if aiming at me, won’t let me leave the mountain, as bypassing the mountain to First Line Pass would make them worry about me switching sides."

"Thus, within the mountains, choosing a spot is the best solution, if that’s the case, the delay won’t be long, before the end of today’s nightfall, I’ll definitely return. If I’m unable to return, Chong Xuan, take my trusted aides and escape the camp, everything else can be abandoned."
