Li Chengfeng had long foreseen that the two eminent monks in the Dizang Temple had already deterred the Dragon King.
Only then did he smile and say, "Dragon King, the reason I am willing to cooperate with you is precisely because I value your wisdom.
Moreover, the Dragon race is about to face a great calamity. I believe that with your talent and intelligence network, you must have noticed a large number of low-level sea beasts being driven towards the Chaotic Rapids Gorge.
Once a sacrifice is performed there, it will attract the Soul-Guiding Kill. Dragon King, although you are strong, can you withstand the Soul-Guiding Kill?"
Dragon King Xiao Fei frowned upon hearing this, then sneered, "That's impossible. Why would he target me, the Dragon King? Perhaps it's to deal with the Demon race or the Evil Dragon race."
Li Chengfeng shook his head: "Dragon King, you are too naive.
This sacrifice is precisely the work of the Demon race. Why would they attack the Evil Dragon race? They would only attack the Dizang Temple or the Dragon race."
"What evidence do you have?" The Dragon King's eyes were sharp.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "I have already captured a Demon scout and killed him."
As he spoke, he moved his hand, and a Demon Heart appeared. The poisonous gas emanating from it made the Dragon King retreat involuntarily, saying with apprehension, "Put it away quickly. I know that is the Myriad Poison Demon Heart."
Li Chengfeng quickly put away the Demon Heart and said, "The Demon race wants to join forces with the Dizang Temple, using the sacrifice of ferocious beasts to carry out the Soul-Guiding Kill on the Dragon race.
The Dizang Temple's driving away of sea beasts is also for this plan.
Dragon King, under two Hidden Soul God Kills, can your race still survive?"
The Dragon King roared: "I will go immediately and destroy their altar, making them suffer a great loss!"
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Dragon King, hold on. This trip may fall into a sea beast trap.
Although the sea beasts seem calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents surging. They are not native aquatic creatures and are not of one mind with you.
The three forces have formed an alliance to eliminate your Dragon race.
The sea beasts are cooperating with the Demon race, and the Demon race even gifted the Myriad Poison Demon Heart to the Dizang Temple, which is actually a double-edged sword. If the old abbot uses this heart, his soul will be scattered, and the Demon race will have one less powerful enemy."
"So that's how it is. Thanks to you for exposing the conspiracy. The Dizang Temple is willing to cooperate with me to resist the Demon race together.
If the Dragon race remains stubborn, we will leave and see how the sea beasts and the Demon race deal with you."
After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Dragon King Xiao Fei fell into deep thought. He knew that the ocean situation was turbulent and that only the Demon race could create the poison of the Myriad Poison Demon Heart.
Both the Demon race and the Evil Dragon race had tried to win him over, but he had refused them for various reasons. At this moment, he realized that his indecisiveness might have caused them to lose patience.
The Dragon King was now in a state of confusion, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Li Chengfeng decided to strike while the iron was hot and said, "You also know that my Battle Formation, the Star Shift, is quite effective in countering the Soul-Guiding Kill technique.
In the past, on Qingyun Mountain, I used this technique, and the news has spread far and wide.
Therefore, they fear that I will join forces with you, so they set up a double altar, attempting to use a double Soul-Guiding technique to break my Star Shift. But it can only shift one, what about the other?
The other party may also have a hidden place to cast another Hidden Soul. In this case, my Star Shift may not be able to protect the Dragon race's safety.
Dragon King Xiao Fei's forehead was covered in sweat, obviously worried.
The matter of Li Chengfeng reflecting the Hidden Soul with battle tactics had also been secretly circulated, and he naturally knew it well.
If the other party casts a double Hidden Soul, and he only has one Star Shift, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for him.
He anxiously inquired, his voice carrying a bit of uncertainty, whether there was a brilliant plan to help the Dragon race escape.
Li Chengfeng smiled and replied, "Dragon King, it's better to believe it than not to believe it.
No one can predict where the Hidden Soul will go after the sea beast sacrifice.
Setting up the Star Shift can at least ensure one's safety. And I have another set of formations. When the two formations are combined, their power will be doubled.
If you follow my layout, not only can you avoid this calamity, but you can also give the other party a heavy blow, demonstrating the might of the Dragon race."
Kong Xian chanted a Buddhist prayer at the right time: "Amitabha, Dragon King, do not hesitate any longer.
My Dizang Temple has already stood on Li Chengfeng's side. If you continue to waver, you will be besieged on all sides. Everyone hates a fence-sitter. I hope you will think twice."
Dragon King Xiao Fei's eyes kept moving, carefully considering his options.
At this moment, he didn't dare to act rashly. Even though Li Chengfeng was close at hand, he didn't dare to attack.
The two abbots were powerful, having reached the Fire and Demon Union realm. If he attacked, it would be tantamount to seeking his own death.
Moreover, Li Chengfeng held the Myriad Poison Demon Heart. Once he released the poisonous gas, the Dragon race would suffer heavy losses. He was now in a dilemma, like a rat caught in a trap.
He coughed lightly and said to Li Chengfeng, "Please allow me to think it over. This matter is no small matter. I need to convene a council of elders to discuss it."
Li Chengfeng shook his head firmly and said, "No need. If you are unwilling to cooperate, then consider that I have never come here.
From now on, if the Dragon race encounters difficulties, I will not interfere.
My original intention was to hope that the Dragon race could avoid becoming a sacrifice in the fight against the Demon race.
You should make a choice. The Xuan Guang Continent is engulfed in war. Although the ocean area is temporarily peaceful, the flames of war will eventually spread here.
Quickly choose a side and gather strength, that is the best policy. How can the Dragon King not know this simple principle?"
Dragon King Xiao Fei nodded in agreement: "That's true, but why should I choose to cooperate with you and not other forces?
Just based on a few words from you, I should drag my Dragon race into the conflict. The reason doesn't seem sufficient.
I, the Dragon King, have my own way to save my life. I can avoid the power of the Hidden Soul. You don't need to worry, leave quickly."
The Dragon King was full of doubts, wondering that if Li Chengfeng really wanted to harm him, why would he take the initiative to seek peace?
There must be something fishy about this, perhaps a scheme against Li Chengfeng or the Dizang Temple, intending to drag him down.
Li Chengfeng thought to himself that the Dragon King was indeed difficult to deal with. The first plan had failed, and he had to start the second plan.
Faced with the difficult Dragon King, Li Chengfeng had no choice but to offer his second plan.
Obviously, ordinary words could no longer shake this Dragon King.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Do you know why my Frog Saint can transform into an Evil Dragon? It is because it has cultivated the Dragon Transformation Art, allowing it to transform into an Evil Dragon."
He deliberately misled, in fact, the Frog Saint cultivated the Heaven-Shaking Outer Demon Transformation, which had no side effects. It only needed to accurately integrate other elements to transform into various demon beasts, including simulating its form after obtaining the Dragon King's essence blood.
Li Chengfeng would naturally not reveal this secret to the Dragon King. He conveniently attributed everything to the Dragon Transformation Art and threw out a jade slip: "Look, this is the Dragon Transformation Art's technique."
The Dragon King quickly took it and probed into it with his divine sense. After a moment, he nodded and praised: "It really is the Dragon Transformation Art, and it is even more exquisite than what your Evil Dragon race taught.
Li Chengfeng, you have indeed taken a unique path, able to improve the Dragon Transformation Art to this extent. I admire you very much."
He had not cultivated this art, originally fearing being deceived. Now that he saw that the improved version had indeed removed many drawbacks, he couldn't help but praise it repeatedly, then put away the jade slip, looking as if it was only natural.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Although the Dragon Transformation Art is wonderful, it also has its limitations. After cultivation, one still cannot transform into a True Dragon, but can only go further on this path.
If you want to become a True Dragon, you still need to find other methods, and I, naturally, will not reveal it easily."
Dragon King Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and smiled, "You don't need to play tricks here. How can the Dragon Transformation Art become a True Dragon?
Even the Evil Dragon race has to rely on the blood of a True Dragon. How could you possibly do it?"
His tone was full of disbelief.
