Chapter 1027: Pursuit

The Death Lord spoke word by word.

"What? What did you say?" The Demon Wizard's pupils suddenly dilated upon hearing these words, and an expression of profound disbelief surfaced in his eyes.

"He is Li Yue? Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"Would I need to lie to you about something like this?" the Death Lord said disdainfully.

Upon hearing these words, a Solemn expression immediately appeared on the Demon Wizard's face.

If this matter is true, then haven't I let a fat sheep right in my grasp escape?

Damn it!

He must kill Li Yue.

No matter the cost.

"Quick, quickly organize the troops. I must pursue him personally; I cannot let him escape." The Demon Wizard ordered.

Upon hearing these words, all the Demons began to move, organizing the troops to pursue Li Yue, ensuring Li Yue could not continue to flee.

At this moment, the Death Lord beside him said repeatedly, "I will go with you."

The Demon Wizard gave the Death Lord's injuries a contemptuous glance.

"Your strength is insufficient; staying behind to recover from your injuries is the wise choice. I alone am enough to deal with this fellow, so do not follow and add to the chaos."

"Do you know the terrain of Lord Chenxi's territory? Do you know where to quickly catch up with the fleeing Li Yue?" the Death Lord spoke word by word.

Upon hearing these words, the wizard fell into silence.

"You don't know? Very well. Since you won't let me go, I will return to rest first. When my lord the Demon Emperor asks, I will say that you personally let Li Yue escape." Having said this, the Death Lord turned his body and began walking toward the distance, no longer paying attention to the Demon Wizard.

Seeing this situation, the Demon Wizard immediately flew into a rage.

Damn it, how dare he ignore me?

A trace of anger surged in the Demon Wizard's deep heart, but he forcibly suppressed this anger.

He knew the Death Lord was doing this on purpose, with the aim of provoking him.

However, he currently had no way to kill this fellow, so he could only swallow his anger and endure.

"Stop." The Demon Wizard roared.

"What's wrong? Do you want me to follow?"

The Death Lord sneered.

The Demon Wizard stood in place for a few seconds, finally gritted his teeth and said, "You may follow me, but you must promise me: absolutely do not do anything dangerous, and do not add to the chaos for me. Otherwise, do not blame me for turning on you!"

The Death Lord nodded.

Thus, he began leading a group of people, under the Death Lord's guidance, to pursue in the direction Li Yue had fled.

At this time, at a certain high ground, the Demon Emperor's gaze stared fixedly at a group of departing Demon soldiers, and the one leading them was none other than the Demon Wizard and the Death Lord.

Immediately, his brows locked tightly together.

"What are they going out to do?"

Just as the Demon Emperor was puzzled, a Demon soldier suddenly walked up.

"Report, Your Majesty, the Wizard my lord sent me to inform that they are going out to pursue the Lord who just invaded." The Demon soldier respectfully reported to the Demon Emperor.

"They want to pursue a Lord? Have their brains gone bad?" Upon hearing this news, the Demon Emperor's brows furrowed even tighter. "Don't they worry about a trap?"

"This..." The Demon soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "The Wizard said this time they are going to pursue a Lord named Li Yue. The matter is urgent and there was no time to report, so he could only have me convey it to Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor nodded slightly.

"Who proposed it?"

"It was the Death Lord who proposed it, because during the battle the Death Lord recognized who the opponent was."

"The Death Lord, the Death Lord, the Death Lord?"

At this moment, the Demon Emperor's face changed drastically, as if he had thought of a certain possibility.

"Could it be..." The Demon Emperor's eyes suddenly widened. "No good, we've fallen for a trap. Quick, quick, quick, send someone to convey the order: tell the Wizard to return, and also kill the Death Lord."

The Demon Emperor's tone was filled with urgency.

"But my lord the Demon Emperor..."

"I told you to go, so go! Go quickly!" The Demon Emperor shouted loudly.

"Yes." The Demon soldier dared not hesitate for a single moment and hurriedly ran out.

Watching the departing back of the Demon soldier, the Demon Emperor sighed.

"I hope my guess is not wrong."

The Death Lord ran wildly, sprinting straight toward the direction of Lord Chenxi's territory. His speed was incredibly fast, almost like lightning; in the blink of an eye he vanished without a trace, not looking in the least like someone who had suffered serious injuries.

The distance between the Demon Wizard and the Death Lord was rapidly shortening. Very quickly, they had left the Demon soldiers behind far behind, and the Demon Wizard arrived at the Death Lord's location.

"Why are you running so fast?" The Demon Wizard arrived before the Death Lord and said coldly.

"Nothing much." The Death Lord smiled slightly and said lightly.

"Nothing much, then why run?" The Demon Wizard's tone became extremely gloomy.

"You asked me to follow you to pursue Li Yue. Isn't this exactly what you wanted?" the Death Lord said with a smile.

The Demon Wizard snorted coldly: "But you suffered such serious injuries; how can you still run so fast?"

The Death Lord glanced at the Demon soldiers behind him, then looked at their current location. The corners of his mouth turned up, and he no longer pretended.

"Sorry, you've fallen for a trap."

Upon hearing the Death Lord's words, the Demon Wizard's face instantly changed drastically. As if realizing something, he hurriedly grabbed his staff to activate a teleportation spell and leave.

But unfortunately, just as he intended to use the magic, he suddenly discovered his body was immobilized, unable to move even a fraction. This left him extremely panicked and shocked.

Suddenly, magical barriers appeared all around, wrapping the demon witch tightly like dumplings in dough.

"What did you do?"

The demon witch roared in fury; he had never imagined he would be imprisoned, unable to move an inch, not even able to cast magic.

The Death Lord looked at him and sneered.

"I did nothing at all. It was my companion who acted—you saw me standing here motionless."

As he spoke, the God-Demon Lord and the others stepped out from the dark corners, greeting the Death Lord.

"Death Lord, I've been waiting for you a long time."

Seeing this, the demon witch finally understood what had happened.

"Damn it, let me go, or I'll make you die a terrible death!"

"Die a terrible death? Wizard Lord, don't you think those words are a bit too late?"

The Death Lord slowly stepped forward, reached out, and gently stroked the demon witch's head.

This gesture sent a shiver of revulsion through the demon witch.
