Chapter 1070

Sigh.

The Death Lord sighed helplessly and said no more.

He knew that whatever he said would be in vain.

The next day, Li Yue got up from bed; his body ached terribly, as if cut open by a blade. Every time he tried to move, pain surged through his entire body.

Ow! It hurts so much I could die.

Li Yue couldn't help but groan.

Hearing Li Yue's voice, Ka Luoer hurriedly rushed in from outside.

"My lord, are you alright? Should I fetch a priest to heal you?"

Seeing Li Yue's agonized expression, Ka Luoer asked anxiously.

No need. It's just some pain; resting for a while will fix it. Don't worry. I know my own body; no treatment is needed.

Yet, my lord, Ka Luoer still felt uneasy.

Really, no need. Ka Luoer, go get me something to eat. I'm a bit hungry right now.

Alright!

Seeing Li Yue's firm refusal, Ka Luoer had no choice but to agree, leaving the room to prepare breakfast for Li Yue.

After Ka Luoer left, Li Yue sat up to check his wounds.

The bandages wrapped around his body had long been stained red with blood and were still oozing; the wounds were deep.

However, fortunately, nothing vital was hit; otherwise, perhaps he would have had to report to the King of Hell.

Seeing his own body, Li Yue couldn't help but sigh; this time he truly owed his life to luck. If the Demigod Realm hadn't blocked a calamity for him at the last moment, he would surely have died.

But then again, where are the Demigod Realm?

Why haven't I seen them?

Could they have suffered severe injuries just like me?

Thinking this, Li Yue decided to ask about it once Ka Luoer returned.

A short while later, Ka Luoer walked in carrying food.

Seeing Li Yue's condition, she was first surprised, then immediately worried.

My lord, you're injured so badly; why did you get up!?"

Ka Luoer quickly placed what she held on the table, then walked to the bedside to support Li Yue.

Don't worry, I'm fine. Ka Luoer, let go of me first; I can manage on my own." Seeing Ka Luoer's worried gaze, Li Yue said with a smile.

Seeing Ka Luoer still somewhat uneasy, Li Yue changed the subject and asked: "By the way, where are the Demigod Realm? How are they? Were they injured? Or are they cleaning the battlefield? Oh, right, after I lost consciousness yesterday, how did the battle go? Was there anything else?"

My lord.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Ka Luoer's face instantly turned deathly pale.

Did something happen?

Seeing Ka Luoer's expression, Li Yue immediately asked.

Yesterday, many things happened, but the result for us was actually quite good. The Demon Emperor is dead, and the demons in Lord Chenxi's territory have almost all been slaughtered."

"What about the Demigod Realm?"

"They, the Demigod Realm, they..."

Hearing Li Yue's question, Ka Luoer hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Seeing Ka Luoer stammering and unwilling to tell him, Li Yue immediately guessed: Could something bad have happened?

Yes. Many of the Demigod Realm have sacrificed themselves. Only a small portion of lords and personnel remain." Speaking the last words, Ka Luoer's voice grew lower and lower, until she could say no more.

Ka Luoer, are you telling the truth? How can that be? I remember the Demigod Realm possessed the Demigod Realm; how could they have sacrificed themselves so easily?

I wish it were false. But this matter is true.

"Let me go see. The plan was perfect; why did so many people die?"

Having finished speaking, Li Yue threw off the quilt, preparing to get out of bed.

Seeing this, Ka Luoer quickly stopped him.

My lord, do not get up. Your wounds haven't healed yet; you should lie down and rest properly.

The fact that we survived and returned here this time is already a great fortune. The Demigod Realm have all sacrificed themselves. Getting up now would be futile.

Ka Luoer continued: "Now Lord Chenxi needs you, my lord. If something unexpected happens to you, what will become of the war situation? Although the Demon Emperor is dead, the Demon God has not yet emerged."

"This, I..."

Just rest well; leave the rest to me. No matter what happens, I will not let anyone harm you.

Hearing Ka Luoer's words, Li Yue thought for a moment; she was right. In his current state, he could indeed only lie obediently in bed and rest. He could only act after his injuries recovered.

Having understood this point, Li Yue made no further demands and lay back down on the bed.

Seeing Li Yue lying in bed with his eyes closed to rest his spirit, Ka Luoer breathed a slight sigh of relief.

My lord, please rest well; I will go out first." Having finished speaking, Ka Luoer stood up and walked toward the door.

Mm, go ahead! Li Yue replied faintly.

Bang!

The door was shut.

Only Li Yue remained in the room.

Li Yue opened his eyes and looked out the window. At this very moment, his mind was in turmoil, unsure what to think.

The Demigod Realm died; they died because of him.

Just one Demon Emperor caused such heavy casualties; next, if they must face the Demon God, what should be done?
