Chapter 1201: Hold the Blade

Li Yue curiously spoke up at that moment. "By the way, Death Lord, what has become of those people?" "What do you mean, what has become of them?"

Li Yue explained, "I mean, how do you intend to deal with them now?"

Death clasped his hands together, snorted coldly, and said, "What else can be done? Of course, kill them! What use is keeping them alive!?" Hearing this, Li Yue's face immediately changed, and he muttered repeatedly that things were bad. "Are they to be executed now?"

"Of course. Do you think we should keep them overnight? Keeping them one more day is just wasting one more day of grain."

Li Yue frowned tightly, did not speak directly, cursed with a "damn," and hurriedly left the tent.

After cursing, he rushed out.

The others nearby, seeing this situation, were somewhat puzzled and hurriedly followed, asking for details. "Lord Chenxi, what's wrong? Why has your expression changed so drastically? Has something happened?" Li Yue, flustered, asked, "By the way, Death Lord, where are the people you plan to execute?" The Death Lord raised his hand and vaguely pointed in a certain direction. "Right over there. What's the matter?"

Li Yue, following the direction the other pointed, took a slight step.

He then vanished right where he stood.

The others, in this situation, also hurriedly followed.

Li Yue soon arrived at the execution site. At that moment, several people were already kneeling on the ground, tightly bound with ropes.

Several large blades were raised high, ready to fall at any moment.

At this very moment, Li Yue appeared at the execution scene and hurriedly shouted to the executioners, "Hold the blade!" But the blades had already begun to fall downward; stopping them was nearly impossible.

With no other choice, Li Yue could only intervene.

He was seen lightly stomping his foot on the ground, causing several small stones to shake loose from the ground and land in his hand.

He then threw them toward the position of the blade edges.

A few cracks were heard, and almost all the blades snapped in half.

The traitors waiting for death at that moment breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

At this moment, the other lords who had arrived behind him watched Li Yue's actions, deeply confused.

They simply could not understand why Li Yue had saved these few people.

At this time, Li Yue took a deep breath and then exhaled, looking very relaxed. "Excellent. If they had really died, it would have been troublesome."

The Death Lord asked, "Lord Chenxi, what are you doing? Why save these few fellows?" Hearing this, Li Yue chuckled and said seriously, "Of course, they have an important use."

As he spoke, Li Yue leaned in slightly and whispered into the Death Lord's ear.

Li Yue quietly explained his thoughts and the reasons for keeping these traitors.

Hearing Li Yue's words, the Death Lord's eyes instantly widened in this situation. "So that's how it is!"

Li Yue smiled and asked, "How is it? Isn't my idea quite good? At least, this time we have seized the initiative." The Death Lord nodded heavily.

"Yes, a very good idea. Let us proceed as Lord Chenxi says; perhaps it will yield excellent results." The other lords, seeing the two speak, were utterly baffled, completely unable to understand what the other was saying.

At this moment, they involuntarily looked at each other.

Some gently shook their heads, while others slowly shrugged their shoulders.

In this situation, the Death Lord quietly told the other lords everything he had just heard.

Of course, to prevent the news from leaking, his voice was relatively low.

The lords, upon hearing this, immediately understood what was going on.

They then nodded their heads one after another to show their agreement.

Thus, Li Yue began to issue orders, telling the other lords to return quickly and start preparing the battle plan.

The traitors before them were naturally all placed in separate confinement.

At this time, due to various pieces of information gathering together, they began to converge in one place.

Because this action was quite large, it naturally attracted the attention of the Demon Clan.

Thus, a message was delivered to the Demon God's ear.

"My Lord Demon God, it seems the various lords are beginning to take action. They are all converging toward a certain direction, as if preparing to attack us again."

Hearing this, the Demon God's brows furrowed tightly together.

"Do you mean these lords are once again, in their ignorance of death, preparing to launch an attack against us!?"

The subordinate who was asked froze.

Finally, enduring the pressure, he began to speak.

"That is about right."

Hearing this, the Demon God's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Truly ridiculous. Didn't the last lesson teach them? Now they dare...?"

As he spoke, the Demon God seemed to recall something, and his expression changed slightly right there.

"Could it be... Could it be the work of that boy again?"

At this very moment, the Demon God suddenly remembered a person.

And that person was no one other than Li Yue.

Thinking thus, with Li Yue's existence, these lord factions naturally dared to launch an attack against them.

Upon thinking of this, the Demon God's face instantly turned ugly.

The Demon soldiers nearby, seeing the change in the Demon God's expression, honestly, for a moment, could not guess what the Demon God truly intended to do.

With no other choice, he could only kneel on the ground, watching every move of the Demon God.

He feared offending this supreme being in any way.

But, obviously, right now, all of the Demon God's thoughts were almost not on the subordinate before him.

The more the Demon God thought, the stranger he felt the situation was.

Thus, he raised his hand and gently beckoned, signaling the subordinate kneeling before him to come closer.

Upon seeing the Demon God's gesture, the Demon soldier kneeling on the ground hurriedly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the Demon God.

"My Lord Demon God, do you have any orders?"

The corner of the Demon God's mouth curled into a faint smile as he said seriously, "I recall we planted quite a few spies within the territories of those lords, don't we?"

"Yes, that's right." The demon soldier nodded repeatedly, responding with certainty.

Hearing these words, the corner of the Demon God's mouth lifted slightly, and he laughed.

"In that case, it will be easy to handle. As I said, go and send a few people to search for relevant information and see what exactly these fellows are trying to do!"
