Chapter 2048: Chapter 2047: The Objective

Chong Xuan exhaled and said, "The Fox Clan is skilled in enchantment, and this Heavenly Demon Dance is the culmination of the Charming Technique. Although I have never seen it, I have heard about it."

"Once enchanted by the Heavenly Demon Dance, one will enter a desire illusion. In this illusion, a person’s emotions and desires are magnified infinitely, and once desire arises, it becomes uncontrollable."

"It’s even difficult to escape easily. Throughout history, countless geniuses have fallen under this Heavenly Demon Dance precisely because of this desire."

Li Feng acknowledged with a nod: "Let’s go back first. Today’s banquet, with the appearance of the Fox Clan, clearly shows that the Demon Country plans to have the Fox Clan intervene to disturb the garrison of the First Line Pass, assisting in breaking through."

Chong Xuan nodded: "It’s indeed bad news. Aside from the Charming Technique, the Fox Clan is also skilled in strategy, and they certainly didn’t just arrive at the camp today; I’m afraid everything is already prepared. These three days of breaking through the pass are just a final push."

Li Feng, hearing Chong Xuan’s words, also nodded, feeling the gravity of the situation. This time, the First Line Pass faces a significant crisis.

Li Feng and Chong Xuan left quickly, and soon after, the Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan also left the grand tent.

"Holy Daughter, those guys from the Fire Phoenix Clan dared to treat us like this, they cannot be forgiven," said several Fox Clan women beside her, gritting their teeth.

"Indeed, this bastard completely disregarded us, knowing our identities, yet dared to act mercilessly. It’s just unbelievable."

The Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan listened to the complaints beside her and coldly said, "Hmph, treating Bai Nian like this, I won’t let it rest."

"But with our clan’s major plans currently in motion, let’s allow him a few days of arrogance. Once the First Line Pass is broken, I will make him pay."

Bai Nian, as the Holy Daughter of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, holds a prestigious status. Her mother is also the Nine-tailed Fox Venerable of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

This time, she personally came to the Candle Dragon Demon Country, arriving before the First Line Pass because the battle at the First Line Pass is crucial, affecting the strategic outcome concerning Ancestor Dragon City.

Here lies the key to breaking the stalemate. Only by breaking through the First Line Pass can the four walls of Ancestor Dragon City be breached.

The matters the Fox Clan can foresee, the people of Ancestor Dragon City are not foolish to be unaware. Therefore, aside from the known defensive forces, many strong individuals are surely concealed until the crucial moment.

After all, only hidden trump cards are true trump cards. Revealing them only at the right time enhances their effectiveness. If one’s trump cards are known, the opponent can easily retaliate.

Thus, she came here to break through the situation.

Now, with everything prepared, only the favorable wind is lacking.

At this critical moment, Bai Nian can only set aside personal grievances.

Inside the grand tent, the banquet continued, but due to two minor interruptions, the festive atmosphere had vanished. Thus, after a while, it was directly dismissed.

"Grand Steward, do you think today’s banquet achieved its goal?" Lion Commander Wanyan Xiu looked at the empty grand tent and asked the Grand Steward beside him.

"That depends on what goal the Lion Commander wanted to achieve."

"Don’t beat around the bush."

"Yes." The Grand Steward nodded and slowly began to speak: "Today’s banquet organized by the Lion Commander was essentially a Hongmen Banquet, as the humans would say. Lion Commander, you still don’t trust that Feng Yang and wanted to test him."

Wanyan Xiu raised his wine cup and nodded lightly: "You’re right, I don’t trust Feng Yang. His appearance is too coincidental, although his explanation is fairly reasonable. But the Fire Phoenix Clan was imprisoned for a thousand years, and the Fire Phoenix Platform has the Demon General stationed."

"I’ve also been to that place. Under the Sealing Array, even mosquitoes can’t fly through, and even spiritual energy is isolated. Even the Fire Phoenix Clan, born with the Fire Spirit physique, might not withstand a thousand years of erosion."

"The Sealing Array can’t be opened without the Demon Emperor’s word, so I can’t verify anything. But don’t forget, the Fire Phoenix Clan isn’t entirely imprisoned at the Fire Phoenix Platform; there’s also Vermilion Bird."

"Are you suspecting this Feng Yang is Vermilion Bird?"

"Hmm, Vermilion Bird was severely injured in the last great battle, always hiding under the Vermilion Bird Holy Temple beneath the Molten Lava Volcano, waiting for the opportunity to be reborn. Just as we mobilized, a Demon Country elite squad led by the Third Prince Emperor Yue ventured deep into the Molten Lava Cave."

"In recent days, I’ve sent messages, and the Third Prince Emperor Yue has replied."

"And Feng Yang’s identity?"

"It’s still not certain. The Third Prince Emperor Yue said that although they didn’t capture the Vermilion Bird egg, they did disrupt the earth veins of the Molten Lava Volcano, thwarting the Vermilion Bird’s rebirth plans. At least in the short term, Vermilion Bird is unlikely to revive."

"Hmm, if not Vermilion Bird’s reincarnation, then this Feng Yang?"

"The Third Prince Emperor Yue said they encountered a group from Ancestor Dragon City, among them were descendants of the Sikong Family from Ancestor Dragon City."

"The Vermilion Bird family from Ancestor Dragon City?"

The Grand Steward furrowed his brow: "The Sikong Family of the Vermilion Bird family has been in decline over the past two hundred years, and the family no longer has talented offspring except for one young girl who has inherited some Bloodline Power. The rest of the descendants are practically useless."

"Is the Sikong Family hiding something?"

Wanyan Xiu also said: "Although our Demon Country has intelligence reaching throughout Ancestor Dragon City, there’s always some oversight concerning the intelligence of some high-ranking families within Ancestor Dragon City. However, even so, I can’t associate this Feng Yang with anyone from the Sikong Family."

"The opponent’s age is evidently young; the Sikong Family surely hides strong individuals but never someone this young. After all, Vermilion Bird is severely injured, and the Molten Lava Land has been closed for over two hundred years, without its past glory."

"The Ouyang Family, unable to refine bloodlines from Vermilion Bird, indeed struggles to produce quality mixed-blood descendants."

"And this Feng Yang, his strength surpasses the Demon King Realm, and it’s not just the lowest Fifth Grade Demon King."

"Hmm, Wanyan Hao’s strength is equivalent to the Third Grade Demon King Realm, yet Feng Yang can overcome Wanyan Hao. Though the Fire Element restrains our clan, it offers significant advantage, if not enough graded, it’s hard for Wanyan Hao not to resist."

"Previously, at the First Line Pass, the opponent had hidden trump cards without exerting full strength. Even today in the grand tent, he probably held back, and to force him to reveal everything, only the Lion Commander personally intervening would suffice."

"Hmm, I cannot personally intervene, so I arranged for the Fox Clan: first, to inform everyone of our Demon Country’s plan to break the First Line Pass in three days; second, to have the Fox Clan probe Feng Yang."

"The Fox Clan, skilled in enchantment and illusion techniques, once Feng Yang is enchanted, his background will be fully exposed by the Fox Clan’s Holy Daughter. His true origin will be revealed."

"Within the tent with our Three Marshals present, and dozens of Demon Kings, he certainly wouldn’t escape easily. If he truly is one of ours, then that would be a cause for celebration. But unexpectedly, Feng Yang isn’t affected by the enchantment of the Heavenly Demon Dance, entirely unenchanted."

"Lion Commander, if suspicious of Feng Yang, you could have detained Feng Yang. In such times, it’s better to kill wrongly than to let escape; why let him go?"
