#534 - Leng Jieao leads his army to attack
The Fire Demon Clan Chief, Leng Fengxian, gently raised her hand, a glint of iron and ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, and said in a deep voice, “Listen well, Leng Xiaoyao is dead. He is no longer the young clan leader of my Fire Demon Clan.
Any man of my Fire Demon Clan who cannot stand on his own and lives in the shadow of others is a disgrace.
From today onwards, Leng Zizai will take over the position of young clan leader.
As for Leng Xiaoyao, his spirit tablet will be placed in the Fire Demon Clan's mausoleum as a memorial.
But remember, the interests of the Fire Demon Clan come first. This is our unchanging creed.”
The clan chief's words resonated powerfully, and the Supreme Elders cast admiring glances.
Then, Clan Chief Leng Fengxian spoke again: “For the future of my Fire Demon Clan, I have decided to send six Supreme Elders at the Half-Step Demon Emperor Realm.
They will lead my clan's most elite Fire Cloud Legion to the far north to intercept and kill Li Chengfeng.
We must not only cooperate with the Evil Dragon Clan but also seize every opportunity to ensure that the treasures and secrets in Li Chengfeng's hands fall into the hands of my Fire Demon Clan.
Whoever obtains these first will gain the greatest benefits.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the main hall slowly opened, and a scholar in white robes walked into the hall.
He had delicate features and appeared to be in his early twenties, but the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes revealed a vicissitude inconsistent with his actual age.
This man was named Leng Jieao. He was once a prisoner in the dungeon. After being rescued by the Fire Demon Clan, he voluntarily changed his name and swore allegiance to the Fire Demon Clan, vowing to help the Fire Demon Clan unify the world.
Although his strength was only in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and slightly weak, he was skilled in conspiracies and tricks, and was deeply valued by the elders of the clan.
After Leng Jieao entered the main hall, he clasped his fists and respectfully said to the six Supreme Elders, “Elders, Leng Jieao is willing to accompany you to Jibei.
In terms of strategy, I am confident that I can compete with Li Chengfeng.
This battle concerns the fate of my Fire Demon Clan and even the entire continent. If Li Chengfeng gains a foothold in the far north, we will face unprecedented challenges.
He is indeed cunning and has extraordinary methods, but as the clan chief said, his weakness lies in his lack of connections.
We have already placed pawns in their upper echelons, which will be the key to our victory.”
The Fire Demon Clan Chief, Leng Fengxian, had complete trust in Leng Jieao. In recent years, the Fire Demon Clan had been able to gain a firm foothold in the far west.
They were even able to drive away the main forces of the Xuan Guang Continent, all thanks to the brilliant plans in Leng Jieao's mind.
Clan Chief Leng Fengxian asked, “In your opinion, Mr. Leng, how can we make a fortune in this deal? As long as you say it, I will do my best!”
Leng Jieao bowed respectfully to the Fire Demon Clan Chief and said, “In my opinion, although the six Supreme Elders are strong, it would be safer for eight to go together.
My newly researched 'Eight Trigrams Heavenly Killing Formation' is designed specifically for gatherings of heroes. With the eight elders working together, once Li Chengfeng and the others appear.
We will surely surround them, making it impossible for them to escape, and even his escape treasures will malfunction.
I have read extensively for this formation and spent a lot of money to buy treasures from the Treasure Pavilion. Now it is finally complete. How about we use Li Chengfeng to test it out?”
Upon hearing this, the Fire Demon Clan Chief, Leng Fengxian, frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “That's true, but although my clan controls the far west, if all eight elders leave, the Fire Demon Clan will inevitably be empty.
What if the Human Clan takes the opportunity to attack? Wouldn't we miscalculate?”
These words caused the eight elders present to look at each other, nodding frequently, secretly thinking that the clan chief was thoughtful and not just worrying unnecessarily.
A confident and calm smile appeared on Leng Jieao's face. His words were like a stabilizing force, reassuring the clan chief and the other elders.
“Lord, your worries are reasonable, but please listen to my explanation.”
He continued, “Currently, the main force of the Human Clan is indeed being held back by Ba Fengyun, which is the best time for us to act.
If they dare to act rashly, the Demon Clan's Commander-in-Chief will definitely respond with thunderous force. After all, the alliance between our Fire Demon Clan and the Demon Clan's Commander-in-Chief is as solid as a rock, advancing and retreating together, and no one can shake it.”
“As for Li Chengfeng, although he is cunning and resourceful, as you said, he is unwilling to walk on the edge of a knife every time.
However, it is this mentality that gives us the opportunity to set up a net and make him have nowhere to escape.
My formation combines ancient wisdom with modern mechanisms and is designed specifically for the likes of Li Chengfeng. Coupled with the unparalleled cultivation of the eight Supreme Elders, we will definitely make it impossible for him to escape.”
“Furthermore, according to my intelligence network, the distance from the main force of the Human Clan is indeed not close. If they want to take action, they will definitely leave clues.
Our scouts and spies are all over the far west, and any disturbance will not escape our eyes.
Therefore, in terms of safety, we have already made thorough arrangements and deployments.”
“This operation is not only to achieve success in one fell swoop but also for the legendary space treasure.
Once obtained, its value is immeasurable. It will not only enhance the strength of our Fire Demon Clan but also establish our prestige in the entire Demon Clan and even the Evil Dragon Clan.
At that time, whether it is the Commander-in-Chief or other forces, they will all look at us with new eyes, and no one will dare to covet this treasure again.”
“Therefore, Lord, please rest assured, I, Leng Jieao, guarantee with my life that this operation will be successful.
We must not only capture Li Chengfeng but also take his space treasure for ourselves and create a more glorious future for the Fire Demon Clan!”
Upon hearing this, a hint of admiration and determination flashed in the eyes of the Fire Demon Clan Chief, Leng Fengxian. “Very well! Since Mr. Leng has such determination and wisdom, I will say no more.
Everything will be done according to your words. Go all out and strive for victory!”
Under Leng Jieao's meticulous planning and inspiring words, the eight Supreme Elders stood up one after another, their eyes flashing with a desire for victory and a longing for the treasure.
They knew very well how tempting and attractive Li Chengfeng's space treasure and the various inheritances it carried were to them, who were Half-Step Demon Emperors.
“Mr. Leng, please give us your orders!” The eight Supreme Elders said in unison, their voices full of firmness and trust.
Seeing this, Leng Jieao's confidence increased even more.
He raised his head and chest and slowly said, “According to my calculations, Li Chengfeng will definitely choose to break through the ice at the weakest point of the Jibei ice layer.
Not only is the resistance the smallest there, but it will also allow him to quickly advance to the far north Evil Dragon Clan.
Therefore, our goal is to surround this place, set up a net, and lay down layers of magic formations to ensure that they have no way to escape.”
Upon hearing this, the Fire Demon Clan Chief, Leng Fengxian, immediately slammed the table and issued a loud order: “Immediately transmit my order!
The eight Supreme Elders will set off with Mr. Leng Jieao, leading the Fire Cloud Legion of ten thousand and the Demon Eagle Elite of thirty-five thousand, and rush to the far north at top speed, without any delay!”
As soon as the order was issued, the entire Fire Demon Clan immediately began to operate rapidly like a war machine.
The Fire Eagle Legion responded first, and huge fire eagles soared into the air, their bodies covered in flames, extremely fast, and known for their speed.
Each fire eagle was seated with three to five Fire Demon Clan warriors, who were extraordinarily strong and worked together tacitly, capable of implementing precise aerial strikes.
At the same time, the Fire Demon Clan's special weapon—the Fire Demon Flying Cloud Battleship—was also fully equipped. These flying arrows had extremely strong explosive power and could cause great damage on the battlefield.
The eight Supreme Elders were stationed on a huge battleship, which was covered with elite Fire Demon Clan warriors, who were waiting in full battle array, ready to rush to the battlefield at a moment's notice.
Leng Jieao stood on the largest battleship, looking at the troops ready to go, full of vigor.
He waved the token in his hand and said loudly, “Depart!” Immediately, the entire army broke through the air like a dark cloud, heading straight for the far north.
Similar scenes were also playing out simultaneously in various battlefields of the Demon Clan.
The space treasure, the Substitute Puppet Technique, and the inheritance of Ancient Demon Power on Li Chengfeng's body had become the coveted goals of all the Demon Clan forces.
They mobilized their elite troops one after another, preparing to show their skills in this battle.
