Chapter 1051: Li Yue's Dominance

Li Yue's words immediately made many people furious.

"Lord Chenxi, what do you mean by that? Do you look down on us?"

Li Yue raised his hand and waved it, saying, "No, no, no. I have no intention of looking down on anyone; I am simply stating what I know to you all seriously."

Then, Li Yue began to explain in all seriousness: "Let me guess your thoughts: facing this demon race attack, you intend to use it to exhaust the power of other lords. In this way, once the war ends, you can use your preserved strength to start devouring the territories of other lords."

With Li Yue speaking this way, many present fell silent.

Clearly, Li Yue's words had struck directly at his thoughts.

Li Yue continued, "In this situation, whoever becomes the Grand Lord will try every means to exploit the strength of other lords. Do you think the other lords are fools? Or do you think your words carry enough authority to make them obey your arrangements?"

"From the very beginning, my thoughts have been completely different from yours, who still consider harming other lords at critical moments. From start to finish, I have only thought about how to drive the demon race back to the Underworld. At least with me holding this position, at least the demon race will not rule the entire Saint Na Continent. But you...? Do you have the confidence?"

Speaking to this point, the corners of Li Yue's mouth curled upward, and he said, "If what I said is slightly wrong, then I am willing to apologize. Of course, if you wish to become prisoners or lackeys of the demon race, then treat my words as nonsense."

As he spoke, Li Yue waved his hand and said, "In this situation, if you still think anyone else can hold this position, I will step down without the slightest surprise. Then I will go down to rest first; once you have news, notify me."

After finishing his words, Li Yue shifted his gaze to the God-Demon Lord and said, "By the way, God-Demon Lord, now that the demon army has retreated, they will likely launch an even more severe attack next time. Hmm... I think they may make a move tonight. You should arrange more personnel for patrols, combining visible and hidden sentries. Also, adopt a three-shift system for the soldiers' rest; this way, when an incident occurs, combat forces can be deployed to the maximum extent."

After Li Yue spoke to this point, the God-Demon Lord nodded heavily: "Understood, Lord Chenxi."

Then, Li Yue turned his gaze back to the other lords and said, "Then I shall wait for news from all of you."

After his words fell, Li Yue did not stay any longer; he took his steps and left the Lord's Hall directly.

After Li Yue left, the corners of the God-Demon Lord's mouth curled into a loud laugh: "Very well, now you can slowly fight for the position of Grand Lord. I would like to see which of you can perform this position well."

After speaking these words, the God-Demon Lord left directly, strutting arrogantly.

At this very moment, in the hall, the various lords looked at each other, and finally, none said a word; they simply chose to leave directly.

At this very moment, tens of kilometers away from Lord Chenxi's territory, the demon race had constructed a camp here.

After being night-raided by Li Yue and his men last time, they dared not get too close to the enemy again; otherwise, there would be almost no chance to react.

The Demon Emperor sat in his own position, and in front of him lay a corpse. This corpse belonged to no one else but the Witch.

Looking at the bloodless Witch, the Demon Emperor's face turned iron-green, and his fingers trembled at this very moment.

"Damn it! You killed my Witch; this grudge cannot be shared with the heavens. The lords of Lord Chenxi's territory, I will flay every single one of you, strip your skin, grind your bones to dust, and scatter your ashes. I will make you die in the most miserable way."

The Demon Emperor said through gritted teeth.

While speaking, the Demon Emperor seemed to sense some aura; his gaze suddenly turned toward the side.

"My Lord Demon God, why have you suddenly descended?"

In his line of sight, a pitch-black and blurry figure appeared before his eyes.

It was like ethereal, misty smoke.

When the Demon Emperor saw this blurry figure, he was instantly frightened and hurriedly knelt down.

At the very moment the Demon Emperor knelt, he saw a black skeleton standing there.

"Pay respects to My Lord Demon God," the Demon Emperor called out respectfully.

Inside this demon camp, all the demons also almost simultaneously felt the descent of the Demon God and all prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Demon Emperor, why have you not yet moved toward other parts of the Saint Na Continent?"

The Demon God's voice came from within this space.

"My Lord Demon God, it is like this: all the lords on the Saint Na Continent who are slightly famous have gathered together, forming a considerable force. To bring victory to My Lord Demon God, before yesterday, the army I dispatched to attack Lord Chenxi's territory encountered enemy calculations and has now lost more than half. The result, the result..."

"What result?" The Demon God's voice became extremely angry.

"The result is that it has already failed. Moreover, the Witch has died as a result," the Demon Emperor said with a trembling voice.

"What? Failed? How is this possible!"

The Demon God's voice instantly became extremely sharp, showing extreme shock: "Demon Emperor, do you know your crime? I entrusted you with the strongest and most elite subordinates of the demon race, and this is the reply I receive?"

After hearing the Demon God's words, sweat appeared on the Demon Emperor's forehead, and he responded with a quivering voice: "Please, My Lord Demon God, punish me."

"Hmph, do you have anything else to say?"

"No, no more, My Lord Demon God. The Demon Emperor dares not."

"Since there is nothing to say, then accept the punishment properly!!!" The Demon God's voice was filled with coldness and killing intent.

In the next moment, beside the Demon Emperor, a pitch-black and hazy figure slowly emerged.

Immediately, that indistinct figure directly reached out and grabbed the Demon Emperor.

"Ahhh!"

A piercing scream rang out. The Demon Emperor's skin began to boil like hot water, appearing with countless blisters. The blisters burst, and bright red blood flowed all over the ground. The Demon Emperor howled in agony.

But very quickly, the wounded parts healed rapidly, then boiled again, repeating this cycle for a long time.

Finally, the Demon Emperor lay on the ground like a corpse. His rapid breathing, however, indicated he was still alive.

"This punishment is hereby waived for now. I am keeping you because you still have important uses. Demon Emperor, oh Demon Emperor, do not disappoint me again!!!"

The Demon God silently spoke these words to the Demon Emperor.
