Chapter 1074

After that Demon God guard departed, the Demon God slowly rose from his chair.

"Without a True God-level existence, how exactly did the Demon Emperor die? Could it be that I am truly overthinking this?"

A look of contemplation appeared on the Demon God's face.

Perhaps I should go and investigate personally.

Time passed bit by bit, and Lord Chenxi gradually returned to calm.

However, Lord Chenxi remained extremely tense.

After all, there were no surplus combat forces left within Lord Chenxi to resist another invasion by the Demon Clan. The Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan had been killed, which would very likely provoke a counterattack by the Demon Clan; once the Demon Clan's great army breached Lord Chenxi, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Now, everyone believed that the Demon God of the Demon Clan would begin to act next.

However, the clues obtained were puzzling.

The Demon Emperor was dead, the Demon Clan did not attack, but instead began to retreat.

Everyone within Lord Chenxi was extremely confused, unable to understand why the Demon Clan would act this way.

But regarding this situation, Li Yue paid it no further mind.

He could also roughly guess what was happening.

At this very moment, bearing his injuries, he sat in his own position within the Lord's Hall.

Below, the other lords stood in neat, uniform rows on both sides.

These were the lords who had survived after the great battle, but in terms of numbers, they were far fewer than before; at present, only about one-third remained.

Almost every one of them bore wounds.

And in the center of the hall, several people were tightly restrained.

These few were precisely the lords who had opposed Li Yue and survived the great battle.

They had already strongly opposed Li Yue's actions, and upon learning they had become bait for the other side, they were even more furious.

"Li Yue, you bastard, why did you do this?"

One lord roared angrily.

Li Yue looked at him and said with a smile: Why did I do this? Hehe, you should ask yourselves why you did it; do you not know clearly in your own hearts?

Hearing Li Yue's words, these lords all involuntarily closed their mouths, daring not to say anything more.

"Now I will not waste words; I will give you two choices directly. One: obey me. In that case, at least you can still maintain some dignity. Of course, as for power and such, do not even dream of it. The other is to leave on your own. Of course, you people may leave, but the armies you brought must remain behind."

Hearing Li Yue's words, the faces of several lords turned slightly grim.

As for how to choose, you consider it yourselves!

Seeing that the several lords remained silent, Li Yue said indifferently.
