Chapter 1011: Traitor

The moment the Death Lord spoke those words, the faces of the many lords present immediately shifted.

This was undoubtedly putting the person acting as a traitor in danger, sending them to their death.

Moreover, if this matter is not handled properly, it is feared that a series of aftereffects will be triggered.

Furthermore, this traitor is not merely a traitor in the simple sense.

If the Demon Clan uses some special means, and he truly becomes a traitor, then he will expose the territory of Lord Chenxi, and even the situation of Lord Chenxi.

If the Demon Clan learns the secrets of Lord Chenxi's territory and the allied army, Lord Chenxi will fall into crisis; at that time, the entire Saint Na Continent will be Full of dangers.

"This is not appropriate. If the traitor truly defects, we will be in great trouble," one lord said.

Hearing these lords' objections, the Death Lord sighed: "This won't work, that won't work either; then what should be done?"

The other lords fell into deep thought; for a moment, they could not find a single good solution.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, a voice rang out: "Since everyone feels there is a problem, then let us simply proceed with a vote."

Li Yue said.

Undoubtedly, this is indeed the best method of handling it.

Whichever path is chosen is better than taking no action at all.

"Then let us follow Lord Cheng Xi's suggestion and begin the vote," one lord proposed.

Hearing this, Li Yue nodded, then began to make arrangements.

In a short while, the conclusion emerged.

Li Yue glanced at those around him and said: "According to the vote, we will adopt the traitor mode. So, who is willing to be this traitor?"

Hearing this, immediately, hesitation appeared on the faces of the lords one by one.

Because no one wanted to be this traitor.

"What? No one is willing?" Seeing that no one among the crowd was willing, Li Yue frowned and asked.

Hearing Li Yue's words, no one among the crowd answered immediately.

"Since no one is willing, let us adopt the first or second method instead," Li Yue said, seeing that no one spoke.

"Sigh! Forget it."

At this moment, the Death Lord stepped forward. He shook his head and said: "Since no one is willing to step forward, then I will take responsibility for this traitor role! After all, it was I who proposed this idea. Everyone, rest assured; I will do my utmost to complete the mission and absolutely will not let down everyone's expectations."

"In that case, then this matter is entrusted to you, Death Lord," Li Yue nodded and said to the Death Lord.

"Thank you for your support, Lord Chenxi."

The Death Lord said.

"Very well, since no one objects, this mission is given to the Death Lord. However, to ensure the Death Lord's safety, it is necessary to stage a play," Li Yue said.

"How so?" the Death Lord asked curiously.

Li Yue said: "Death Lord, take part of your forces and leave first; shortly, I will issue a warrant for your arrest."

Hearing this, the Death Lord immediately understood Li Yue's meaning and quickly nodded.

Then, he led a portion of the soldiers under his command and departed first.

After the Death Lord left, Li Yue continued speaking: "Others, pack your equipment shortly and obstruct the Death Lord. Remember, you must be serious; do not let the people of the Demon Clan see through the truth."

"My lord, do you trust the Death Lord so much? What if he truly defects?" one lord could not help but ask Li Yue.

"If the Death Lord defects, then who is the chief culprit that caused his defection?" Li Yue snorted coldly.

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

Li Yue's words made them feel deep shock.

Everyone knew that it was their own choice that had led the Death Lord to this point.

"Then I will go prepare first."

"Yes, I will also gather my forces."

"We will prepare as well."

The instant Li Yue's words fell, all the many lords present immediately began to disperse.

Not long after, news spread throughout all of Lord Chenxi's territory.

"What? You say the Death Lord has defected?"

"No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible; how could the Death Lord possibly defect?"

"It is true; I heard it personally from other lords. Now the lords are gathering forces to pursue and kill him."

"What should we do? What should we do?"

Clearly, the powerful figures under the Death Lord's name had all fallen into a state of disbelief regarding this situation.

After the Death Lord departed, in Lord Chenxi's territory, the other many lords also began to gather the forces under their command to go and pursue.

Quickly, the entire Lord Chenxi territory boiled over.

At this time, Li Yue sat in his position, waiting for the final result to arrive.

After a long while, someone began to report the results.

"My lord, the Death Lord has fled toward the eastern region where the Demon Clan is located."

"My lord, the Death Lord has now reached the blockade zone and has already engaged in combat with the swordsmen of the blockade area. Others are rushing to support."

"My lord, the Death Lord's forces have broken through the defenses and are heading toward the Demon Clan's territory."

While Li Yue and others waited for news, some lords hurriedly arrived and reported their intelligence to Li Yue.

After listening to their reports, Li Yue raised his eyebrows and then said: "Very good; our goal is finally about to be achieved."

"In that case, there is no need to continue the pursuit, to avoid any accidents."

"Yes!"

Under Li Yue's orders, everyone withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to their original encampments.

"Lord, what do you think?" A lord walked up to Li Yue and asked, "Will this plan work?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure if it will work, but since things have come to this, we have no choice. Next, begin preparations for the next phase of the plan."

Li Yue said slowly.

"Hmm." That lord nodded, then withdrew.

Very quickly, under the Death Lord's lead, the group had arrived within the Demon Race's territory.

At this very moment, the Demon Race had also noticed the Death Lord's actions and hurriedly reported the situation to the Demon Emperor.

"Reporting to the Demon Emperor: A lord leading troops has approached our blockade zone. It is estimated that they will reach our blockade line before long."

Hearing the Demon Race's report, the Demon Emperor frowned and asked, "Are they coming to attack?"

"No, not at all. It seems they are fleeing."

"Fleeing?" Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor was momentarily stunned.

He did not understand why the other party was fleeing. What exactly were these lords up to?
