#355 - Fire Demon Genius Leng Xiaoyao
Grand Astrologer Yu Yi's heart cleared upon hearing this.
He knew he had to find Li Chengfeng as soon as possible to redeem himself and avenge his junior sister.
"Indeed, the sudden failure of the Soul Sacrifice Technique is no accident.
Li Chengfeng must have ways to deal with astrologers. We must be more careful of this person in the future," he said firmly.
Elder Qingyun nodded in agreement, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
"Li Chengfeng must be captured quickly, otherwise, if other forces intervene, we will not only gain nothing,
but may also lose both the bait and the hook. Just like the sacrifice in the Blackwater Swamp, the losses were heavy," he said in a deep voice.
"However, performing the Astrological Technique again is not easy and requires huge sacrifices to support it," Yu Yi said.
Elder Qingyun knew this well. He looked at Grand Astrologer Yu Yi, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. "Good, then we need to find greater sacrifices to support the next Astrological Technique.
In any case, Li Chengfeng must die!"
Elder Qingyun and Grand Astrologer Yu Yi's eyes met in the dim candlelight, revealing determination and helplessness.
Elder Qingyun took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Grand Astrologer, besides Soul Sacrifice, what other methods do you have? As long as I can do it, I will fully cooperate."
Grand Astrologer Yu Yi gritted his teeth, his tone filled with unquestionable firmness, "I need ten thousand virgin boys and girls born at Hai hour as sacrifices.
Only in this way can I perform the Great Interspatial Technique, completely lock onto Li Chengfeng's whereabouts, and make it impossible for him to escape."
Elder Qingyun's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and he secretly calculated in his heart.
He knew that finding virgin boys and girls with such specific conditions was not easy, which would not only take time but also cause external doubts and opposition.
But facing Li Chengfeng's cunning and power, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, I will try my best to arrange it," Elder Qingyun nodded with gritted teeth, then changed the subject, "But this matter must be carried out secretly and must not attract outside attention.
I will mobilize the Law Enforcement Hall disciples of the Qingyun Sect to secretly search nearby towns."
Grand Astrologer Yu Yi nodded in agreement, knowing the urgency and importance of this matter. At the same time, he also understood that this action would violate the ethics of heaven, but in order to hunt down Li Chengfeng, he had to embark on this dark path.
With Elder Qingyun's order, the Law Enforcement Hall disciples of the Qingyun Sect quickly took action.
They moved like ghosts in the night, sneaking into nearby towns and secretly searching for suitable virgin boys and girls.
However, what Elder Qingyun and Grand Astrologer Yu Yi did not know was that Li Chengfeng had already discerned their plan.
In the intertwining of darkness and conspiracy, Li Chengfeng did not sit still and wait for death, but quietly launched his counterattack.
In the vast, desolate mountains, far away from the bustling Qingyun City, Li Chengfeng's No. 1 Substitute Puppet suddenly appeared in this forgotten land, its black robe fluttering, like a ghost in the dark night, its eyes flashing with wisdom and calm.
The haze of the Blackwater Swamp seemed to feel the subtle changes here, and the towering figure of the Qingyun Sect was also faintly visible in the distance.
In this area full of unknowns and dangers, six black-robed demonic cultivators quietly descended. Their cultivation was unfathomable, all of them powerful cultivators in the late Yuanying stage, but they concealed their figures with secret techniques, revealing a strange low profile in their actions.
One of them slowly took off his veil, revealing a handsome face, his deep eyes seeming to be able to see through people's hearts.
The black robe he wore was simple, but it was difficult to conceal his extraordinary temperament.
He looked at Li Chengfeng's No. 1 Substitute Puppet, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Junior, you have great courage to use Old Demon's sound transmission talisman to notify me!
You dare to cooperate with my Demon Clan. Aren't you afraid that I will take your life now, or kidnap you?"
Li Chengfeng's No. 1 Substitute Puppet smiled without being humble or arrogant, "May I ask which Demon Clan master you are?"
"Leng Xiaoyao of the Fire Demon Clan?". His mouth hung with an imperceptible smile, as if everything was under control.
Li Chengfeng's Substitute Puppet nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "The leader of the younger generation of the Fire Demon Clan, cultivated to the late Yuanying stage in six hundred years, is indeed the glory of the Demon Clan."
"Li Chengfeng, your future may surpass me. If you are willing to join my Fire Demon Clan, I guarantee you will rise to prominence. When we conquer the entire Human Realm, you will be the supreme Lord of the Human Realm," Leng Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Li Chengfeng's No. 1 Substitute Puppet laughed with a hint of mockery: "I'm tired of hearing such empty words.
How easy is it to rule the Human Realm? If it were so simple, why haven't you Demon Clan been able to occupy the Xuan Guang Continent to this day?"
Leng Xiaoyao's face darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "You're right, we underestimated the power of the Human Realm.
But this time I came here in person to witness your talent and discuss a major event."
"A major event?" Li Chengfeng's No. 1 Substitute Puppet raised his eyebrows, "Could it be for the soul of that Old Demon?"
Leng Xiaoyao's pupils shrank slightly, then he smiled frankly: "Since you are so direct, then let's get straight to the point.
As long as you hand over the soul of the Old Demon to me, my Fire Demon Clan will fully assist you in killing Elder Qingyun, how about it?"
Li Chengfeng's No. 1 Substitute Puppet's laughter carried a bit of confidence and cunning: "Elder Qingyun is indeed not an ordinary person. His cultivation in the half-step God Transformation stage is enough to make any force fear him. Can you, Leng Xiaoyao, kill him?
But, with my strategy, plus your Fire Demon Clan, Elder Qingyun will undoubtedly die.
Isn't the Yuanying of a half-step God Transformation a huge temptation for you?"
Leng Xiaoyao laughed with a bit more playfulness: "Li Chengfeng, you are indeed worthy of your reputation. The title of the number one demonic cultivator on the wanted list is not undeserved.
Okay, I will listen to your plan. If it can really help my Fire Demon Clan, why not cooperate?"
Li Chengfeng's No. 1 Substitute Puppet's eyes flashed with a deep light: "Elder Qingyun's power lies not only in his strength but also in his close connection with the astrologer.
The astrologer's methods are unpredictable. If we can't get rid of his wings first, we may have difficulty succeeding."
"Astrologer?" Leng Xiaoyao frowned slightly, obviously not unfamiliar with this term, "Are you saying, we should deal with the astrologer who is helping Elder Qingyun first?"
"Exactly." Li Chengfeng's No. 1 Substitute Puppet nodded, "And these pygmy demons you brought will be the key to this plan.
If the astrologer wants to perform the Soul-Guiding Killing Sacrifice Technique, he needs ten thousand virgin boys and girls as sacrifices.
We will use these ten thousand pygmy demons as substitutes and place special formations on them. Once the sacrifice begins, the astrologer will inevitably suffer backlash."
"I see." Leng Xiaoyao suddenly understood, then revealed a bit of doubt, "But the astrologer's altar is no small matter. Can the backlash alone really destroy it?"
"That's the beauty of the plan." Li Chengfeng's No. 1 Substitute Puppet smiled, "Although the astrological altar is strong, it also has its weaknesses.
We use the power of backlash not only to directly harm the astrologer but also to disrupt the operation of the altar, making him sacrifice his own life. Once the Soul-Guiding Killing starts, it must not be stopped.
And all of this requires close cooperation between the two of us."
Leng Xiaoyao laughed loudly after hearing this: "Li Chengfeng, you are indeed far-sighted.
However, I am very curious, why do you know so much about the astrologer? How did you get this information?"
