At this moment, Li Cai'er also saw the magic flute in Xiao Feng's hand. She naturally knew what it was, but logically it shouldn't be in Xiao Feng's hands.
The Magic Flute is a treasure of the demon race, and in theory, it can only be driven by demons. However, Xiao Feng used it so skillfully, which was beyond Li Cai'er's comprehension.
"Where did you get this magic flute? And why do you know how to use it?"
Seeing the person in front of him looking so surprised, Xiao Feng put on a mysterious and unfathomable expression and spoke in a gruff voice.
"Fool, don't you know? I am the reincarnated Demon Lord, and you lowly subjects, kneel down at once!"
Xiao Feng's original intention was to play a trick on Li Cai'er and her group of demons. Li Cai'er naturally didn't believe it, but the other demons actually did.
One by one, they knelt down on the ground, adopting a devout expression, and worshipped Xiao Feng.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter, and spoke to the person in front of him with a sarcastic expression.
"You fools are really good at worshipping. Don't you ever think about it? How could the reincarnation of a demon lord possibly be in the body of a human cultivator?"
Li Cai'er's expression turned even more sinister, but although Xiao Feng said that, she didn't believe him at all.
After all, Xiao Feng could manipulate the Demon Clan's supreme treasure; such skill wouldn't be an exaggeration even if the Demon Lord himself came.
Taking advantage of Li Cai'er's distraction, Xiao Feng acted instantly, rescuing Mo Ruyu and the others, and then protecting them behind him.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Feng gave the order, but the men remained unmoved. Seeing this, Li Cai'er spoke with a cold expression.
"They are mine now!"
After saying this, Li Cai'er activated the binding technique, and the next second, Mo Ruyu and the others seemed to have received their master's command and launched an attack on Xiao Feng.
After dodging frantically for a while, Xiao Feng couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
"You bunch of treacherous villains! Can't you at least look where you're going before you strike? I'm here to save you!"
However, no one responded to these words. Mo Ruyu and the others remained indifferent, like ruthless killing machines, as they attacked Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng took out the magic flute again and started playing it. The magic sound slowly emanated, but Li Cai'er would always interrupt Xiao Feng's voice at the right time.
This meant that Xiao Feng had no way to control the sound of the magic flute so that it could reach the ears of Mo Ruyu and the others.
After struggling for a long time, Li Cai'er looked at Xiao Feng's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but laugh and complain.
"I never thought you'd have a moment like this!"
Xiao Feng ignored them and tried his best to save his friends.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Cai'er finally spoke slowly.
"Stop with these pointless actions. Neither of us can defeat the other, so let's just talk about terms!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Cai'er with a cold expression, asking her questions.
"Cooperation? You are a demon, I am a cultivator, what is there to cooperate on? Do you want me to become a lackey of the demon race?"
Seeing Xiao Feng's confident demeanor, Li Cai'er didn't seem to care much. Instead, she showed an indifferent expression and continued to speak.
"Alright, then you can keep trying. Anyway, I have so many people in my tribe who can replenish our strength. We can have a competition to see who can exhaust all their strength first!"
In that instant, Xiao Feng was struck at a sore spot. It was clear that this was something he had no way of changing. Even if he had extraordinary abilities, he could not possibly save his friends in front of Li Cai'er.
Left with no other choice, Xiao Feng had to stop what he was doing, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a few words at Li Cai'er through gritted teeth.
"Okay, let's cooperate then. Tell me your terms!"
Seeing Xiao Feng's resigned expression, Li Cai'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if Xiao Feng's pleading for mercy pleased her greatly.
"The cooperation is simple. I need you to help me obtain the position of Demon Lord. As long as I can get that position, you can do whatever you want with me."
Xiao Feng couldn't help but marvel inwardly. He hadn't expected this woman to have such great ambition. A mere saintess wanting to become the Demon Lord—how audacious!
However, Xiao Feng showed no intention of exposing him. Instead, he coldly asked, "So? What do you need me to do?"
Xiao Feng understood that now was not the time to make demands; if he wanted to save his friend, he had to keep his composure.
"Does this mean you've agreed?"
Li Cai'er was clearly surprised, not expecting Xiao Feng to agree so readily, and instead showed a strange expression.
"It seems I really overestimated you before. I didn't expect you to be so spineless!"
Xiao Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to speak.
"I promised to release my men first and let them return to normal, otherwise, we might as well just die here together."
"To die together? Do you have the ability?"
Li Cai'er laughed maniacally, seemingly enjoying manipulating Xiao Feng's feelings, and didn't want to continue discussing what would happen next.
Xiao Feng suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over him, a feeling that permeated his entire body, leaving him completely at a loss for what to do.
"Forget it, this saintess won't play tricks on you anymore, but don't take me for a fool!"
Xiao Feng felt somewhat helpless. After all, he had originally thought that he could restore his friends to normal first and then find a way to escape. Now it seemed that he had no choice but to cooperate.
"Let me tell you this: I've already poisoned them. Even if I undo the poison, you'll still die sooner or later if you take them away!"
After saying this, Li Cai'er took out an exquisite box, gently opened it, and took out a green pill from it.
"This is the poison I've given you. If you really want to cooperate, you'd better swallow this poison as well. Only then can we continue discussing our cooperation!"
Xiao Feng unconsciously swallowed, took the pill, pretended to put it in his mouth, and then opened his mouth as if to swallow.
"Now? Can we let them return to normal?"
Seeing Xiao Feng's clumsy performance, Li Cai'er couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Do you really think I'm a fool? If so, then there's no point in continuing the cooperation!"
"Men, chop off those guys' heads!"
Seeing that Li Cai'er was angry, Xiao Feng swallowed the pill right in front of her.
