Chapter 1224

"What? There's actually such a thing?"

"Damn it, isn't this just forcing people down a path to death? If they could agree to this, they'd be ghosts!"

"Yeah, damn those dogs, these Demon Clan really aren't human!"

At this moment, one lord after another voiced their similar opinions. Obviously, regarding this matter, they all held strong objections.

The Death Lord knew everyone was angry, but now was not a time when mere anger could solve anything.

The most urgent matter was still to find a better solution.

"Everyone, stop worrying about this matter. We must go discuss with Lord Chenxi what we should do next."

Saying this, he took his steps and walked toward the place where Li Yue had just left.

After exchanging glances, the other lords followed him.

In a short while, the group arrived at Li Yue's room.

At this moment, even before the lords entered, they could hear Li Yue's voice filled with rage.

"Demon God, you damned fellow. I never thought you would find such a method to punish me. Damn it, damn it."

Following this, the Death Lord said nothing more, took his steps, and walked inside.

Led by the Death Lord, the other lords also followed in one by one.

Seeing the group, Li Yue finally suppressed his rage.

"You're here!"

"Mm!" The Death Lord nodded slightly and spoke: "We came to discuss what we should do next."

Hearing these words, Li Yue sighed deeply and said slowly: "Now, what is there to discuss? There are almost no good solutions."

At this, one of the lords spoke slowly and seriously: "Lord Cheng Xi, rest assured. I am no fool, nor am I someone who lives in shame."

"If the Demon God wants you dead, and you really die, who knows how they will treat us next? Will they treat us like beasts? If that's how we live, we might as well fight them."

"Yes, better to die standing than to live kneeling. If we really kneel, I fear we will never be able to stand up again."

The crowd spoke endlessly, one after another.

Obviously, they held strong objections to the demands made by the Demon God.

Although Li Yue understood what everyone was thinking in their hearts.

Now was not the time for mere talk without action.

"I know everyone's thoughts, but if we do nothing, those lords will surely die. If the impact is light, it might only cause some unrest in morale, but if the soldiers start thinking wrongly, the trouble will be far greater."

Saying this, Li Yue offered a slight reminder.

"If we do not save these lords now, in the eyes of the soldiers, we will become cold-blooded people. If we can casually abandon companions of lord-level rank, will they, the ordinary soldiers, not be abandoned just as easily? Furthermore, our chances of victory were already not as high as the Demon Clan's. If this continues, the Kongpajiu Society will surely face many changes."

Hearing Li Yue's words, everyone sighed deeply.

Indeed, in this situation, making a choice is truly difficult!

If we kill Li Yue and hand him over to the Demon Clan, isn't that cutting off our own arms?

But if we do not act according to the Demon Clan's wishes, we will lose the hearts of the army.

For them, both options ahead and behind were situations that were simply impossible to choose from.

Li Yue sighed helplessly and lowered his gaze.

His hands frantically scratched the hair on the back of his head.

The hair was about to be pulled out by the roots, yet no good solution appeared.

At this moment, the Death Lord slowly rose from his seat.

Seeing his appearance, everyone was slightly stunned, completely unable to imagine what the Death Lord was standing up for at this moment.

For a moment, the gaze of almost everyone present, including Li Yue's, fell upon him.

"What's wrong? Death Lord, do you have a good solution?"

The Death Lord's hands trembled slightly, clenching and unclenching, then unclenching and clenching again. Finally, as if making a certain resolve, he clenched them tightly.

"I... I have a method that is not really a method, which can slightly resolve the current situation."

Upon hearing this, a light flashed in everyone's eyes.

One lord hurriedly spoke: "Really, Death Lord, if you had such a good solution, why didn't you say it sooner? You made us worry for nothing. Quickly, tell us, what exactly is your specific plan?"

The Death Lord took a deep breath and said: "The method is simple. In my earlier years, I learned an ability that can simulate a person's entire posture, including voice, body shape, and appearance, and so on."

"The duration of this ability is very short, probably only about ten-plus minutes. I originally thought it would never be needed. I never thought it would be of such great use today." Saying this, the corner of the Death Lord's mouth twisted into a bitter smile.

Immediately, he spoke his thoughts without hesitation.

... 0 "What we will do later is simple. As long as I disguise myself as Lord Chenxi and go to meet death, it will suffice. If I die, and the other lords can return, that would be good. Even if they cannot return, we can still preserve Lord Cheng Xi, this most powerful combat force."

As the Death Lord's voice fell, silence instantly filled the room.

No one spoke, nor did anyone voice their opinion.

Everyone knew that under these circumstances, this was already the best choice.

Li Yue, of course, did not agree with this plan.

With a "Clap" sound, he rose from his seat.

"No, impossible, we cannot do this. How could I let you, Lord Death, do such a thing for me?" The Death Lord's hands instantly rested on Li Yue's shoulders, his gaze staring fixedly at him.

Speaking seriously: "Lord Cheng Xi, listen to me. In this situation, the method I propose is the best way to resolve the predicament. The Lord Alliance cannot be without you, nor can it lose you. Among the Lord Alliance, having one more of me is no gain, losing one of me is no loss. If my death can slightly shift the fruits of victory in our favor."

"Then... my death is worth it."

At this moment, a soldier outside the door hurriedly stood at the entrance and shouted.

"My lord, the Demon Clan side is starting to shout for you to hurry and keep the appointment, otherwise they will start killing people."
