Chapter 1221

Just as Li Yue was pondering, the Death Lord approached from the side.

"Lord Chenxi, you are still watching here? How is it? Have you discovered anything useful or valuable!?"

Hearing the Death Lord's voice from behind, Li Yue withdrew his gaze from the demons below the mountain.

He turned to look at the Death Lord beside him.

"Oh, you are here. As always, these demons are very strange; apart from strict daily control, there is nothing else. We have not even seen them planning any other tactical moves."

Hearing these words, the Death Lord's heart could not help but grow curious.

"Strange, this should not be so. Logically, this is not the demons' way of acting!?"

"Mm, I also feel it is very strange. So, Death Lord, I have a small idea."

Hearing Li Yue say this, the Death Lord immediately became interested and then asked.

"Oh, then tell me, what idea do you have?"

This time, Li Yue directed his gaze again toward the location of the demons below.

"I want to take advantage of the night to capture one or two demons and interrogate them for relevant information."

Hearing this, the Death Lord was momentarily stunned.

He said nothing and chose to remain silent.

Li Yue stood aside, watching the Death Lord; he knew his comrade's heart was complex at this moment.

One must know that on the outskirts, demons are everywhere, with a sentry every five steps and a patrol every three.

Under such circumstances, wanting to capture one or two mouths to interrogate is simply a situation harder than climbing to the sky.

One slight mistake could very likely result in an attack by the demons.

And Li Yue is the strongest combat power within this Jade Dragon Mountain; if he leaves, then the matter will become very troublesome.

It was precisely for these reasons that the Death Lord appeared hesitant and indecisive.

Seeing the Death Lord's silent demeanor, Li Yue spoke directly: "At the very least, we must figure out what the demons actually intend to do. If we continue like this, who knows what will happen."

The Death Lord took a deep breath.

"Forget it, I know your mind is made up; even if I wanted to stop you, it would be almost impossible. However, Lord Chenxi, can you guarantee a safe return? You must know one thing: if you leave, it will be a huge blow to us."

Li Yue smiled.

"The only one who can stop my actions is the Demon God. From the appearance of the demons until now, we have never seen any sign of the Demon God. So it is very certain that the Demon God should not be among this group of demons."

"Under these circumstances, as long as I wish, almost no one can block my path." Hearing Li Yue say this, the Death Lord felt slightly relieved. "In that case, then be careful on your journey. Do you need me to help with anything?"

Li Yue pondered seriously for a moment and then said casually but earnestly: "If I am discovered, then I will need your cover." As Li Yue spoke, he leaned closer and then whispered into the Death Lord's ear.

"At that time, I need you to launch an attack against the demons; of course, not a real attack, but a feint." The Death Lord nodded and hummed: "No problem, I know what to do."

"Mm, then it is troublesome. I will take people to make preparations first, so I leave this place to you for now." As Li Yue spoke, he took steps and walked toward the side.

Just then, suddenly a soldier came running over in a panic. "My lord, my lord, something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened." The soldier kept speaking, and a trace of panic was visible in his expression.

After seeing the soldier's state, the two lords were extremely curious. "What is wrong? What has happened?"

"Whatever it is, speak slowly, speak more clearly."

The soldier immediately swallowed deeply, raised his finger, and pointed to the other side: "The demons, the demons have made a move, and the matter exceeds our imagination. My lord, please go over and take a look quickly."

The two exchanged a glance and did not say any other words.

They hurriedly went in the direction the soldier had indicated.

But when the two arrived at the target location, they had already seen the figures of other lords.

At this time, each lord was filled with resentment, and their faces displayed a state of fury.

"What is wrong?" Li Yue asked.

One lord pointed into the distance and said: "Lord Cheng Xi, look."

Li Yue looked in the direction he pointed.

In his line of sight, several familiar faces appeared before his eyes.

Those people were precisely the lords belonging to their side.

However, at present, they could no longer be called human in appearance.

Their bodies were incomplete in various parts, lying on the ground and gasping for breath in great gulps.

In front of them, a chair was placed ahead.

And the Demon God was sitting on the chair.

At this moment, the Demon God raised his head and looked toward the distance.

He happened to see Li Yue and the others.

The corner of his mouth curved slightly upward, and he raised his hand.

The demon soldier beside him immediately reacted, stepped forward, and shouted loudly at Li Yue and the others: "Lord Chenxi Li Yue, if you want these people to live, quickly roll down from the mountain."

"Our great Demon God has a transaction to make with you."

Because the voice of this demon soldier utilized magic, it could be clearly transmitted to the ears of Li Yue and the others.

Hearing these words, Li Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the Demon God's location.

Yet within his heart, countless questions clawed.

He could not figure out at all what plans this fellow was actually making!
