Chapter 1016: The Demon Clan Is Deceived

As the words fell, the wizard's staff moved slightly in his hand, and a massive teleportation magic array appeared once more beneath his feet.

Seeing this, the arriving Demon-God Lord roared loudly, "Where do you think you're running?"

Hearing this, the corner of the wizard's mouth curled slightly upward; he waved the staff beneath his feet, and his figure vanished instantly.

Seeing this, the Demon-God Lord shouted and gave chase, but alas, he was a step too late; by the time he arrived, that wizard had already fled beyond his sight. The Demon-God Lord, furious and frustrated, cursed, "Damn wizard, how dare you mock me! I will have your life!"

Just then, the Demon-God Lord's ears twitched slightly, and his expression changed abruptly. He raised his eyes to look around, discovering that the area within ten meters of him was entirely shrouded in dense demonic qi.

This dense demonic qi seemed like a living creature, surging toward him rapidly. The Demon-God Lord was immediately filled with great horror and hastily channeled the magic within his body; the spear in his hand also pierced into the black fog at that moment.

"Zzzzzzt!"

As the spear entered the demonic qi, it immediately emitted a grating friction sound, followed by the eruption of dazzling light. In an instant, this demonic qi vanished.

At this moment, the Demon-God Lord's gaze focused on the only surviving Moonlight Elf archer, and he asked, "What happened?"

At this time, the collapsed Moonlight Elves were so utterly broken they could barely speak, silently gazing at the blood-soaked ground before them; those were all his companions.

Seeing the Moonlight Elf silent, the Demon-God Lord's expression grew even more gloomy.

"What exactly happened? Speak up," he asked again.

"I..." the Moonlight Elf still could not speak.

"Damn it, have you been scared senseless?" the Demon-God Lord said with a grim look.

"You, you, you..." the Moonlight Elf was still stuttering, unable to speak.

"What is wrong with you? Tell me immediately, or I will kill you."

Hearing the Demon-God Lord's threat, the Moonlight Elf finally spoke: "My lord, my entire squad has been wiped out."

Hearing the Moonlight Elf's words, the Demon-God Lord frowned deeply and said, "Nonsense! I am not blind; I can see it myself. I am asking you, what did that Demon come here for?"

"He came to inquire about something."

"What?"

"About the news of the Death Lord's rebellion."

The Demon-God Lord became agitated, asking repeatedly, "Did you tell him?"

"I... I deserve to die a thousand deaths," the Moonlight Elf lowered his head and said, "My lord, forgive me. This Demon threatened the lives of my companions; I dared not lie, so I had no choice but to reveal this matter."

Hearing this, a look of wild joy appeared on the Demon-God Lord's face.

"This is excellent! The news of the Death Lord's rebellion has finally spread out. Hahaha!"

The Moonlight Elf looked at the Death Lord's expression and was stunned.

His heart was filled with confusion.

"The Death Lord's rebellion—why are you so happy?" he asked the Demon-God Lord in confusion.

"What do you know?" the Demon-God Lord glared at the Moonlight Elf. "In any case, you did very well this time. Although your people suffered heavy casualties, there is no need to be too disheartened; there will surely be an opportunity for revenge in the future."

Having said this, the Demon-God Lord reorganized the defensive arrangements here. As for the news the Demon came to investigate, the Demon-God Lord naturally did not wish to delay any further time and decided to convey this news to the other lords.

At the location of the Demon Emperor's tent.

The Demon Emperor suddenly sensed something, turned his gaze to the side, and a magic teleportation array appeared before his eyes; the next moment, a Demon wizard appeared before him.

He first bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."

"Hmm!" The Demon Emperor nodded and asked, "Has the matter been handled?"

"It has been handled," the Demon wizard said.

"What was the result? Did this Death Lord truly become a traitor to that group of lords?" the Demon Emperor asked.

"Yes, indeed so," the Demon wizard said. "He has become an enemy to many lords."

"Is the news reliable?" the Demon Emperor asked.

"Based on my observation, it is extremely reliable."

Hearing this, the Demon Emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and a cold sneer flashed across his face.

"Oh, so it really is a most unexpected matter." Having said this, he fell into a brief silence, as if pondering something.

The Demon wizard stood aside without speaking, quietly waiting for the Demon Emperor's decision.

After pondering for a long time, the Demon Emperor finally spoke slowly: "It seems I must make a trip to the dungeon."

Hearing the Demon Emperor's words, the wizard was slightly stunned, then said, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, what are you going to the dungeon for?"
