Chapter 1004

"Do you not find it strange? Though the Demon Race's great army presses upon us, we show no intention of resisting? Do you think I do not know what you are all thinking?"

Li Yue looked at the crowd in the great hall and spoke in a faint tone.

Hearing these words, everyone in the great hall lowered their heads one by one, daring not to meet Li Yue's gaze; deep in their hearts, they knew very clearly that before Li Yue, all their secrets could neither be hidden nor escape detection.

Like a clown, exposed on the spot by a powerful figure.

Li Yue spoke faintly: "Is it not merely about the defeat of the Western Region lords? What is so great about it? Though the Demon Race is powerful, in terms of total numbers, they are completely inferior to the races of the Shina Continent. Moreover, with so many powerful figures gathered together on the Shina Continent, are we truly to fear a mere Demon Race?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, everyone's faces changed slightly.

"My lord is wise; we understand."

"Yes, the Demon Race is not at all fearsome."

Hearing the words of the powerful figures in the great hall, Li Yue nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Li Yue turned his body and looked at Ka Luoer beside him: "Ka Luoer, recount the recent intelligence to us in detail."

Hearing Li Yue's order, Ka Luoer nodded; immediately, she carefully narrated the situation to everyone.

Hearing Ka Luoer's words, all the powerful figures in the great hall fell into silence.

In their hearts, they did not know what they were thinking.

In their minds, the overwhelming might of that Demon Race commander, the Demon Emperor, who had appeared just now, involuntarily surfaced.

Among everyone present, except for one person, it was Li Yue; he was the only one who did not regard the Demon Emperor with contempt, so his expression remained calm, as if, to him, though the Demon Emperor was very strong, he was ultimately just one person.

The Shina Continent could not be handled casually by just anyone.

"My lord, what should we do now? Should we dispatch a large number of powerful figures to support the Western Region?"

At this moment, a powerful figure of the Saint Domain spoke.

The moment these words left his mouth, many others immediately echoed his sentiment.

Li Yue looked at the powerful figures in the great hall, one by one eager to act, and his face could not help but show a smile.

"You fools, do you seek death? With so many lords gathered in the Western Region, they could not do anything to the Demon Race; do you think my Lord Chenxi's territory can achieve it? The urgent matter is to contact the lords of the other domains; do you understand?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, everyone was momentarily stunned; then, with faces full of shame, they all nodded and said: "Yes, my lord speaks most wisely; we were truly too foolish."

Li Yue nodded, then continued speaking: "The second matter I must address. The Demon Race commander, the Demon Emperor, has appeared in the Western Region; I fear they will use the resources of the Western Region to attack various places on the Shina Continent. My Lord Chenxi's territory is a crucial strategic position leading to all domains of the Shina Continent. If Lord Chenxi's territory is occupied by the Demon Race, then the entire Shina Continent will be in imminent peril. Therefore, within the next two days, no matter what happens, you must defend with all your strength; once any unusual movement from the Western Region is discovered, report it immediately."

"Yes, we understand."

"Very well, you may disperse. For these two days, keep your spirits high; allow not the slightest laxity, or do not blame me for severe punishment."

Li Yue spoke in a cold tone.

"Yes."

"Ka Luoer, what news do we have regarding the alliances between those lords?" Li Yue's gaze fell upon Ka Luoer.

Hearing Li Yue's question, Ka Luoer shook her head slightly: "For now, there is no specific news. However, through observation via other clues, we learned that these lords are also beginning to constantly summon the powerful figures under their names to gather together; it seems they hold the same thoughts as my lord."

"Moreover, it is said that one lord is preparing to summon all the lords to discuss this Demon Race invasion of the Shina Continent. I imagine it will not be long before the relevant information reaches your presence, my lord."

Listening to Ka Luoer's report, Li Yue nodded slightly; this was not bad. He had been thinking about how to resolve this matter. Since these lords have this idea, it is at least a good thing; at the very least, he will not need to act personally to resolve these matters.

"Hmm, you may go down now."

Hearing Li Yue's words, Ka Luoer bowed in respect and turned to leave the great hall.

After Ka Luoer left, the atmosphere in the great hall gradually quieted down.

The people inside the great hall could not help but fix their gazes upon Li Yue; they did not know whether Li Yue had also thought of a method to deal with the Demon Race.

"My lord."

"Hmm? What is it?" Li Yue raised his head and looked at the swordsman who had asked.

"My lord, I heard that Princess Feifeng's escape route seems to be heading toward our Lord Chenxi's territory; this—"

Although he did not finish his sentence, the meaning he wished to convey was very clear.

Hearing this, Li Yue finally remembered the important matter.

Princess Feifeng had fought the Demon Race and is the one most familiar with the Demon Race's situation; finding her might yield some clues.

Thus, Li Yue looked at the people before him and waved his hand casually, saying: "Very well, since that is the case, immediately dispatch a squad to Princess Feifeng's location to see if there are any other discoveries. I think she should not have traveled very far from the Western Region; after all, she is injured."

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Yue's instruction, the swordsman immediately accepted the order and departed.

Li Yue's gaze gathered on the others; he waved his hand: "You may all disperse; go about your business. I still need some time to think carefully."

"Yes!"

The crowd answered in unison, then left the great hall.

After everyone had completely departed, Li Yue slowly closed his eyes, his fingers gently pressing on his temples.

"Truly unexpected; the Demon Race's strength is so formidable. This time, the Shina Continent is likely to face more misfortune than fortune."

With these words spoken, Li Yue no longer engaged in any slacking; taking advantage of the remaining time, breaking through to the True God Realm a bit earlier could add a sliver of hope to this battle situation.

Time passed swiftly; in the blink of an eye, three days had already gone by.

During this period, Li Yue had been cultivating in the cultivation room, constantly speculating on the True God World, but whenever he was about to make contact, a very uncomfortable sensation arose.

It felt as if he were shrouded by a layer of plastic film, able only to vaguely perceive the outside world; as time grew longer, the uncomfortable sensation grew greater.

Li Yue kept trying, but in the end, every attempt ended in failure.

During these three days, apart from the time for eating and sleeping, he had been pondering this matter the entire time; unfortunately, he gained nothing.
