Chapter 1967: Chapter 1966: Mere Dog
Upon learning that the Ant Race was causing disruptions from behind, drawing the attention of the Demon Clan, new thoughts emerged in Li Feng’s mind.
In the following days, Li Feng, with no worries, intensified his recruitment efforts towards the Demon Clan, until they got closer and closer to the front camp outside the First Line Pass, with only a few camps remaining ahead.
At this time, the scale of the camps along the way expanded again, because there were not just one but multiple routes leading straight here, advancing simultaneously.
The closer they got to the front camp, these routes began to converge. Previously, a camp might have housed only three to five thousand demons, but now, a single camp housed over ten thousand.
They settled down at one of the camps again.
Li Feng found Sikong Yu and Ouyang Qiuhai: "Tonight you two must leave. From the situation known here, the next camp will be a large gathering place, with even more demons around. It will be difficult to leave unnoticed."
"Bi Fang has also scouted the route. By detouring from here, you should be able to avoid the Demon Clan’s scouts on land. As for the sky, there’s Bi Fang’s protection. Once you cross the Great Rift Valley, you’ll be safe."
"I’ve prepared your mounts as well, so I won’t see you off."
Li Feng said.
"Is it convenient to talk?" Sikong Yu took a deep breath and looked at Li Feng.
Li Feng nodded at Sikong Yu, who then stepped aside to a place where no one was around, and Li Feng followed.
"What do you want to say?"
Sikong Yu turned to Li Feng: "We don’t have to worry. With Senior Bi Fang, we should be safe. But you, you’re in the lion’s den and could face danger at any moment."
"I may not know what you’re planning, but I know you must have some plan. Aren’t you going to tell me?"
Sikong Yu asked.
"I do have some plans, but they are not mature yet. Once you reach the First Line Pass, have Bi Fang come to the Demon Clan’s camp to find me. If my identity hasn’t been exposed, and if I’ve settled in the Demon Clan’s camp, I’ll have Bi Fang deliver the message."
"Everything is unknown at the moment, so saying too much is useless. In any case, be careful on your journey. Although you two are less conspicuous, if you run into trouble, you’ll have to rely on yourselves."
Li Feng didn’t say more. As he said, everything was unknown, speaking now was akin to not speaking at all.
Sikong Yu gazed steadily at Li Feng, suddenly stepped forward, then extended his arms to embrace Li Feng: "Don’t die, come back alive."
With that, Sikong Yu released Li Feng abruptly turned away, his cheeks slightly flushed in the dark.
After seeing Sikong Yu and Ouyang Qiuhai off, Li Feng returned to the camp, spent an uneventful night, and the next day the group moved on, seeing a large fiery camp before nightfall.
Li Feng and the majority were still behind, but Shi Xing, as the vanguard scout, had already taken a step forward, just as before, proudly approaching the camp guards.
"Notify your commanding officer here to open the gates immediately to welcome my master."
The camp guards, Demon Clan warriors of the Wolf Clan, looked up at Shi Xing, clad in Wolf Clan armor and riding a war wolf.
"A mongrel of the Dog Clan, ordering whom, exactly?"
"Dog Clan?"
The Wolf Clan warrior glanced at Shi Xing, heard he had a master, but did not react: "Who is your master? Our commander is a Captain, to have him welcome you, your master must have the status."
Shi Xing naturally noticed the contempt in the other’s eyes. The Dog Clan was indeed always inferior in front of the Wolf Clan.
"Hmph, listen, my master is Lord Feng Yang of the Fire Phoenix Clan."
"Fire Phoenix Clan?"
The Wolf Clan warrior was startled, then looked at Shi Xing: "Are you crazy? I’ve only heard of the Green Phoenix, Ice Phoenix Clan. Where did this Fire Phoenix Clan come from?"
The Fire Phoenix Clan kept a low profile for centuries within the Demon Country, and its existence was only known among the upper echelons, so naturally, ordinary Wolf Clan warriors had never heard of it.
"Dare to impersonate a superior Demon Clan, seize him!"
Shi Xing didn’t expect the Wolf Clan Ten-Man Leader to give no face and immediately order to capture him.
Instantly, several Wolf Clan warriors rushed forward.
Shi Xing had been flattered all the way; how could any other guards along the route dare to ignore him like this? Besides, after following Li Feng, he’d seen Li Feng’s strength and naturally wouldn’t back down from these Wolf Clan warriors.
He resisted immediately.
"A mere Dog Clan still dares to resist."
The Ten-Man Leader snorted coldly.
Shi Xing did not back down; he had a master. So what if they were a Wolf Clan, he immediately drew his battle knife.
"Dare to come forward, don’t blame me for being rude."
"A brat from the Dog Clan dares to be arrogant in front of us Wolf Clan." The Ten-Man Leader disbelievingly stepped forward: "Dare you cut me, try it."
"Afraid?"
"Seize them!"
The Ten-Man Leader sneered coldly, and the accompanying Wolf Clan warriors sneered as they advanced, yet Shi Xing hesitated, wondering if cutting them would cause trouble. The Ten-Man Leader showed no hesitance, stepping up and punching Shi Xing in the face.
Shi Xing fell from the war wolf.
"How dare a mere Dog Clan ride a Wolf Clan steed—you presume! Seize them all!"
The Wolf Clan Ten-Man Leader ordered sharply, and his warriors lunged at Shi Xing’s Dog Clan fighters. Seeing Shi Xing struck down, the others dared not resist, given that the Wolf Clan was one of the Eight Tribes, and ingrained fear rose up within them.
Shi Xing saw his subordinates being pinned, got up: "Don’t bully the dogs too much."
Furious, Shi Xing turned and swung the blade. The Wolf Clan’s Ten-Man Leader didn’t expect Shi Xing to fight back, and soon was hit by a blade slash, his armor slashed open, bleeding profusely.
"You dare retaliate."
"Kill these dogs!" the Wolf Clan Ten-Man Leader roared furiously, then drew his blade toward Shi Xing.
Without hesitation, the other Wolf Clan warriors drew their blades and cut toward the Dog Clan warriors, the ground instantly soaked with blood.
"You dare."
Shi Xing never expected they’d indeed make a move. Seeing his men being killed, he disregarded everything and swung toward the nearby Wolf Clan Ten-Man Leader.
Shi Xing, being the Clan Leader of the Dog Clan, wasn’t any less of a fighter than the Wolf Clan Ten-Man Leader. But the hierarchy was clear; the Wolf Clan was superior, and the Dog Clan always dependent. Even if he was stronger, he was hesitant.
The Wolf Clan did not bear such burden; some dogs, kill them if needed.
The Wolf Clan warriors didn’t expect Shi Xing, in his rage, to strike hard, disarming the Ten-Man Leader swiftly, underestimating Shi Xing’s resolve.
Shi Xing kicked the Ten-Man Leader away, then turned toward the other Wolf Clan warriors, and immediately, blade met flesh.
The disturbance at the gate quickly alerted the nearby Wolf Clan Centurion: "What’s going on?"
