Chapter 150: Infiltrating the Demon Sect, Reuniting with an Old Friend, and a Revenge Plot! (Part 1)

"Li Feiyu?"

"Wait here!"

A shadowy figure appeared before Li Feiyu, alert but not overly so. After a moment, he said, "I'll contact the Sect Master."

"Hurry up."

Li Feiyu let out a cold laugh. "If you keep me waiting, I'll flay your skin!"

Since he was seeking refuge in the Crimson Flame Sect, and this identity didn't have a good reputation to begin with, it was better to act more sinister and less by the book.

In fact, this would make it easier for the Crimson Flame Sect to accept him.

Those in the Demon Dao were actually more accustomed to this style of communication.

If you kept calling others 'Dao friends' and exchanged formalities every few sentences...

It would be obvious that you had issues.

"You do have some spirit, but don't forget where you are. In the Crimson Flame Sect, you're not in a position to be picky!"

"Just wait and see!"

The Crimson Flame Sect disciple was quite bold.

But he knew he wasn't a match for Li Feiyu, so while his words were bold, his feet kept retreating until he reached the edge of the formation, where he finally stopped.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Li Feiyu scoffed.

The other disciple didn't take offense and simply took out a communication talisman.

A figure of an elder with crimson hair and robes appeared, examining Li Feiyu up and down before nodding. "Not bad, you're that Li Feiyu who's been making a name for himself recently by killing people and escaping with treasures."

"You know me?" Li Feiyu's eyebrows rose.

"Hey, there's nothing the Crimson Flame Sect doesn't know."

"A few days ago, you fought for a treasure, killed everyone, and escaped with it all. We in the Crimson Flame Sect are well aware of this."

The crimson-haired elder smiled smugly, his lips curling. "Among loose cultivators, you are indeed exceptional. To reach this level on your own is indeed rare."

"But that alone isn't enough to make you worthy of our sect."

"What can you do?"

"Hmph."

Li Feiyu's face grew colder, seemingly annoyed at being exposed, but he still boasted, "I have countless skills, more than I could list in three days and nights!"

What a blowhard!

Both disciples secretly cursed him in their minds.

The crimson-haired elder chuckled. "Then choose a few to demonstrate."

"Artifact crafting!" Li Feiyu declared confidently. "I've obtained an ancient Demon Dao master's artifact crafting heritage, and I can even craft spiritual artifacts!"

"Moreover, these spiritual artifacts are forged using Demon Dao techniques. Perhaps they should be called Demon Spirit Artifacts, as they can be blood sacrificed, and once they recognize their master, even a Second Stage cultivator can unleash their full power!"

"Blood sacrifices can also reduce crafting difficulty and increase success rates."

"Any Demon Dao sect that obtains me will gain a phoenix-like boost!"

"Yet the Crimson Flame Sect nitpicks and questions my worth?"

"Fine."

"If you won't keep me, I'll find another sect, even one that opposes yours, and cultivate them to show you that there's always a bigger fish in the sea!"

As Li Feiyu turned to leave, the crimson-haired elder was taken aback and quickly stopped him. "It's our Sect Master's fault for not recognizing a talent like you. The Crimson Flame Sect needs someone like you!"

"But would you mind demonstrating your skills for me?"

"After all, although I'm the Sect Master, the Crimson Flame Sect isn't a dictatorship. I must provide an explanation to the others."

In other words, you don't trust me?

In the end, it's all about gaining your trust.

Li Feiyu scoffed. "Why not?"

"Do you want me to perform like a street entertainer outside your mountain gate?"

"Of course not, Dao friend. Please follow me."

The crimson-haired elder hurriedly invited Li Feiyu into the Crimson Flame Sect.

"Listen carefully, I'll only say this once."

Along the way, Li Feiyu acted arrogantly. "I need materials: Demon Pattern Gold, Thousand Star Grass, Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Iron, and Bloodthirsty Spirit Gold."

"Oh? These are excellent artifact crafting materials. Rest assured, the Crimson Flame Sect has them. I, the Sect Master, will provide some for you to use freely."

Li Feiyu's expression softened, and he asked, "May I ask for the Sect Master's name?"

"Of course, of course."

"I'm called Crimson Flame."

"So the Crimson Flame Sect is named after you?" Li Feiyu wasn't being polite.

"That's my namesake Demon Beast." Crimson Flame indicated that he was also named Crimson Flame.

Li Feiyu chuckled. "So that's how it is. Quite interesting, a man and his Demon Beast sharing a name, haha!"

Crimson Flame's eyebrows furrowed.

Damn it, asking for death!

If it weren't for the Crimson Flame Sect needing people right now, I'd kill you for your insolence.

You better have some skills, or you won't leave here alive!

On the surface, Crimson Flame laughed it off, but inside, he was already plotting murder.

Moments later, at the main peak of the Crimson Flame Sect...

Crimson Flame and the elders surrounded Li Feiyu, and the requested materials were presented before him.

At that moment, Li Feiyu's eyebrows furrowed, and his heart sank.

As he scanned the elders, he spotted a familiar figure among them.

However, the other party did not recognize him.

Because back then, he had used Han Li's identity.

But when the other party sensed the aura of the 'Transformation Technique,' he knew it was not the right time to reveal himself.

"I suppose she must have noticed my Transformation Technique's aura too?"

He didn't think further.

In terms of artifact crafting, Li Feiyu was not particularly skilled.

He was nowhere near as proficient as Huo Yun'er and the Huo De Sect, whose craftsmanship flowed like water, and he had no connection to 'smoothness' at all. He stumbled and fumbled throughout the process, even having to 'redo' several times.

However...

Chi Yan and the others did not show any disdain.

Because this was the norm.

Why did a second-rate sect like the Huo De Sect thrive? It was because they had the skills and connections.

How many ordinary cultivators could be that powerful?

Li Feiyu's current performance was already considered decent.

At least, among them, he was the only one who could craft artifacts. His skills far surpassed their own.

After all, he was a Demon Cultivator.

Only those big demons would gradually start to focus on 'health cultivation'.

Otherwise, they were either strengthening themselves or being hunted, and all their efforts were directed towards becoming stronger. Who would have the time to research these 'side paths'?

In their eyes, Li Feiyu's artifact crafting skills were already quite 'impressive'.

So what if he had to redo it? As long as he could eventually craft a successful artifact, that was a great skill!

Under their watchful eyes, the spirit artifact gradually took shape.

A blood-colored flying sword! It had no fancy appearance, but its color was eerie, and on the blade, there was an exaggerated blood slot that seemed to pulsate with life force...

"This is a Demon Spirit Artifact, extremely bloodthirsty!"

"Although it's in its initial form, it's not perfect yet."

"It's best to feed it with essence blood and have it recognize its master to unleash its full power."

Li Feiyu narrowed his eyes. "Who wants to try it?"

"I do!"

The crowd was overjoyed, almost fighting to be the first.

But Chi Yan, as the sect leader, coldly hummed, "What's all this noise about? All of you, disperse!"

"This matter will naturally be overseen by me."

The elders quieted down.

But in their hearts, they cursed.

That sounded nice.

What oversee?

They wanted the spirit artifact!

But when they thought about it, who wouldn't want a spirit artifact?

They sighed.

Demon Cultivators, in terms of combat strength, were not weak.

And due to the uniqueness of their cultivation methods, their cultivation growth rate, under the same talent, was far superior to ordinary cultivators. But various side effects couldn't be ignored.

At the same time, the other methods of Demon Cultivators were too 'sparse'.

This led to the fact that although these elders were all powerful cultivators at the seventh level of the fifth stage and above, those who possessed spirit artifacts were few and far between...

Especially Demon Spirit Artifacts, which were more suitable for Demon Cultivators, were even rarer.

They were anxious.

But they couldn't show their anxiety.

Instead, they stared intently at Li Feiyu.

With him here, there was no need to worry!

Chi Yan acted swiftly.

He took over the flying sword and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood onto it. The sword instantly glowed with blood-red light, its power surging!

Chi Yan tried it out and was delighted.

"Although it's a mid-grade spirit artifact, after absorbing essence blood, its power is no less than a high-grade one!"

"Good, hahaha, very good!"

"Li Feiyu, from now on, you will be the chief guest advisor of our Chi Yan Demon Sect!"

"In our Demon Cultivator circle, to have a talented artifact crafting master like you is truly rare. For you to join our Chi Yan Demon Sect is a blessing for our sect and me!"

"Come, tell me, what do you want? What do you like?"

"I can give you whatever I can afford."

"..."

Li Feiyu narrowed his eyes and smiled.

His smile was filled with wickedness and greed.

After all these days of struggling in the outside world, he was already very familiar with these matters. It was no exaggeration to say he was an old hand at this.

This was not the time to be 'modest'.

Ask me what benefits I want? I must ask for them, and I must ask for a lot! I must be greedy!

Not being greedy?

That's like telling others you have a problem.

After all, they had just met, and before that, they didn't even know each other. If he wasn't greedy and didn't ask for anything, would he be helping out of emotion?

But, they didn't have any emotions.

If he wasn't greedy, then he had a problem.

Li Feiyu was very clear about this.

So, without thinking, he said, "Then..."

"I'll give it a try."

"I want one million spirit stones!"

"And one hundred thousand more every year after that."

"I want ten beautiful female disciples, and they must be good."

"I want..."

He listed over ten demands.

Each one seemed reasonable, but put together, they were enough to make the Chi Yan Demon Sect feel the pain.

But, instead of getting angry, Chi Yan and the others burst out laughing.

They weren't afraid of you not being greedy, but of you having no desires.

If you had no desires, how could they motivate you?

Would they use their own lives?

Chi Yan hugged Li Feiyu, his laughter cold. "I can agree to all your demands. Now, take up the position of our Chi Yan Demon Sect's chief guest advisor."

"Craft spirit artifacts for our sect!"

"What's so difficult about that?"

Li Feiyu cackled, "If you can meet my conditions, I'll naturally give it my all."

"But I'll be blunt."

"No rabbit, no eagle."

"If I don't see the benefits?"

"That won't do, I can't do it!"

"Hahaha, Brother Li, you're such a man of character."

"But rest assured, what's the difficulty in that?"

"Come, come, I'll fulfill all your requests, so you can be at ease."

"Am I going to be taken advantage of?"

Red Flame nodded and immediately fulfilled Li Feiyu's requests, but he also kept a small trick up his sleeve; among the ten beautiful disciples, six were his trusted confidants.

Although Li Feiyu had indeed shown his abilities upon his arrival and didn't seem to be here to cause trouble within the sect, it was still better to be cautious and keep a watchful eye.

So, he laughed.

His laughter was harmless, and nothing seemed amiss.

Li Feiyu also laughed.

At first glance, he appeared not only harmless but also somewhat innocent.

"Informants?"

His heart was as clear as a mirror.

I know you'll arrange informants to keep an eye on me, and I even intentionally gave you the opportunity to do so.

Otherwise, how could you trust me? If I had to make a Daoheart Vow, wouldn't that be troublesome?

I had to give you this chance to make you think that everything about me is under your control, and only then would you trust me. With the Confusing Seventy-two Techniques I obtained by chance some time ago, I can finally put them to use!

After that, I can turn the tables and use your informants to...

The two men looked at each other and burst into laughter.

But each had their own ulterior motives.

Li Feiyu's heart was already filled with a sinister plan.

"Rest assured, Sect Master."

"I, Li Feiyu, am a man of my word. Unlike those hypocritical self-proclaimed righteous and noble disciples of the so-called 'noble' factions, I keep my promises. What I say, I do."

"Good!"

Red Flame laughed and said, "Then, Brother Li, please continue your hard work and forge more high-quality Spirit Artifacts for our sect!"

"Of course. I'm already very proficient with this Flying Sword. As long as there are enough materials, it won't take long for every Fifth Stage and above cultivator in our sect to have one, or even two!"

"If given more time, even a sword formation for each person isn't out of the question."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was overjoyed.

However, an elder spoke up with a thoughtful expression, "This is indeed wonderful, but as elders, we can't be selfish. We should also consider the talented disciples within the sect..."

"Rest assured. I'll make the arrangements."

Li Feiyu smiled and said, "I'll take care of it!"

"That's wonderful."

Red Flame and Li Feiyu exchanged compliments, and then Red Flame said, "But even though flying swords are good, they are ultimately demonic cultivation techniques. And if it's demonic cultivation, there's no avoiding the desire for true demonic artifacts."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Actually, we still prefer the Soul Revering Banner."

"That's right, Brother Li, do you know how to forge the Soul Revering Banner?"

"Look at what you're saying. Our Brother Li, what can't he do? He must know how to do it!"

You want me to forge the Soul Revering Banner?!

Li Feiyu smirked inwardly.

Even if I could, I wouldn't forge it for you.

Do you really think I'd sincerely help you forge good artifacts?

"Don't try to pressure me, and there's no need for all this flattery. Everyone has limited energy, and I'm no exception.

"I've only had this heritage for a short time, and I can only forge flying swords. As for the Soul Revering Banner, I don't know how to make it yet, but that doesn't mean I never will."

"Give me some time to study it, and in the future, I might be able to forge the Soul Revering Banner."

"Ahem, we're not trying to pressure you. In our hearts, we believe you have the ability to do so!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Even if you can't do it now, you'll be able to in the future."

"Enough talk." Red Flame waved his hand and said, "Brother Li, come, come, come. I've arranged a peak for you, and on this peak, there will only be you and the ten beauties."

"If you don't permit it, even I won't casually enter."

"You can do as you please."

"That's the best." Li Feiyu smiled.

"Good, good, good."

"Brother Li, after your long journey, shall we begin the formal artifact forging tomorrow?"

"..."

After a moment, everyone bid farewell and left.

Everyone's attitude was excellent.

After all, he was a skilled craftsman with considerable strength.

Naturally, he would be treated well—at least on the surface.

Li Feiyu wasn't surprised by this.

"Elder Li."

The ten beauties immediately gathered around him.

They were all female demonic cultivation disciples, and they were good at their tasks.

"I usually like to have a drink first."

"Bring some wine!"

"Yes, Elder!"

The beauties weren't surprised by this; after all, wine and women went hand in hand.

However, as Li Feiyu drank, he secretly activated his technique.

"Confusing Seventy-two Techniques, Desire-Blinding Confusion!"

Before long, the beauties who were originally serving him wine became captivated, and everyone fell into an irresistible state.

Even the entire world seemed to 'blur.'

They entangled with each other, using every means possible.

It was almost unbearable to witness.

Li Feiyu maintained his composure and left the room, setting up restrictions before stepping aside.

His great grudge remained unavenged, and he had never thought about beauties.

The reason he asked for these beauties was to establish his persona.

Moreover, even if he had such thoughts.
