Chapter 1223

The Death Lord spoke repeatedly, saying, "Do not be nervous; the opponent is merely trying to provoke you. Stay calm. If you act impulsively, you will lose."

After hearing these words, Li Yue finally calmed down slightly.

Watching Li Yue's movements, the Demon God's smile grew even wider at the corners of his mouth.

Indeed, this is exactly what he wanted.

The Demon God said, "Li Yue, you have one hour to think. If you do not agree, for every hour that passes, I will kill one person. If you still make no decision by then, I will launch a full-scale war."

"Heh, even if I personally deliver my head to your hand, I fear you would not spare the others. Doing so would bring no benefit to us. In that case, why should I reach an agreement with you!"

Hearing Li Yue's words, the Demon God smiled indifferently.

At that very moment, he even lightly clapped his own hands and praised, "Good, good, Li Yue, you are very smart. Having reached this point, you still have the capital to think of negotiating with me."

"Regarding what you just said, I can offer a corresponding response. As long as all of you submit to me, I can guarantee your lives; at the very least, you will not die."

"Not die? That means... becoming slaves?" Li Yue retorted.

The Demon God did not deny it; he lightly nodded his head and said seriously, "Indeed, indeed, you can understand it that way. But is that not better than dying?"

Li Yue gritted his teeth, his fingers clenching tightly together due to his anger.

His body also trembled with rage.

Had it not been for the Death Lord beside him trying to dissuade him, Li Yue would have likely rushed over already to fight the Demon God to the death. The Death Lord said, "Li Yue, the situation has changed significantly now. Do not be impulsive. Let us return first to discuss what should be done."

Having said this, the Death Lord turned his gaze toward the Demon God and said, "Demon God, could you extend the time for negotiation? After all, this situation makes it impossible for anyone to make the best choice."

"I am not giving you time to devise a plan, but rather giving you a choice. Do not bargain with me here now. If you disagree, I will not hesitate to kill another person right now."

"No, no, no, one hour. Just give us one hour to negotiate." As he spoke, the Death Lord hurriedly pulled Li Yue toward Jade Dragon Mountain.

Li Yue was very angry, but under the current circumstances, this was the only thing he could do.

Very quickly, Li Yue returned to his territory.

With a face full of fury, he walked into the room nearby.

At this very moment, the gazes of the other lords all converged on the Death Lord.

They all curiously began to ask about the specific situation.

Due to the distance, they had not heard Li Yue and the others' conversation at all while on the mountain.

The Death Lord then briefly recounted what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces instantly changed.
