Chapter 1226

~6 min read 1,133 words

As the words fell, only the Death Lord was seen raising his hand, casually touching his face; instantly, his makeup transformed into the likeness of Li Yue.

Compared with Li Yue, he was an existence that was exactly the same.

Following this, the Death Lord walked slowly toward the door.

Here, as if remembering something, the Death Lord slightly stopped his steps.

Turning his head, his gaze looked at the others, saying, "Oh, right, after I die, my team will trouble everyone to take care of. Please tell them I'm sorry; I, as a Lord, am truly not good. I failed to lead them to enjoy a few days of fortune."

After the words fell, the Death Lord left without looking back.

And at this very moment, Li Yue tightly clenched his own fist; he was furious at his own incompetence.

If only his strength were a bit stronger.

If only he could be a bit smarter.

If only he could have detected the Demon Clan's actions earlier, then all of this might not have happened.

And now, he could only watch helplessly as the Death Lord went to his death, while he himself could do nothing. "Damn, damn, damn, damn."

Li Yue roared in great anger, and his fist, at this very moment, heavily smashed down onto the ground beneath his feet.

Accompanying Li Yue's movement,

The entire ground trembled accordingly, and the earth directly beneath his fist immediately dented quite a bit, even cracking and forming several fissures.

Seeing this scene, the other Lords were truly unable to say anything.

They exchanged glances, said no more words, and directly chose to leave.

For a time, inside the entire room, there was only Li Yue alone in the room.

At this time, the Death Lord, having transformed into Li Yue, without hesitation, took his steps and walked down the mountain.

And the other Lords were all on Yulong Mountain, nervously watching the situation below the mountain.

At this moment, the Demon God saw "Li Yue" walking down; the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Lord Chenxi, Li Yue, how is it? How did your discussion of my demands go? I was magnanimous enough to give you a choice."

"Li Yue," after hearing the words spoken by the Demon God, slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Demon God, oh Demon God, stop pretending to be a good person here. A choice? Did I have any choice?"

The Demon God laughed heartily, unconcerned, and retorted, "Alright, I have already given you time; now you should also give me a corresponding reply, right?"

"Is it agreeing to my demands, or fighting to the death?"

"Li Yue" took a deep breath, his gaze looked at the Demon God, and he seriously opened his mouth to ask, "If I die, will you really let the others go?"

"Of course, as long as you submit to me, I guarantee I will spare your lives; do you understand?"

"Fine, I can agree to your demands, but you must release the people first."

"Li Yue" said seriously.

When the Demon God heard the words spoken by "Li Yue," for a moment he froze, even starting to doubt his own ears.

What is going on? Li Yue actually agreed to such a completely unreasonable demand?

Could it be that the other party has some sinister plot?

The Demon God's brain began to operate wildly, pondering exactly what was happening before his eyes.

According to the long time of dealings with Li Yue, he completely found it hard to believe that Li Yue would make such a helpless move.

Everything was too smooth, so smooth that the Demon God felt it was a bit unreal.

The corners of "Li Yue's" mouth rose high, and he chuckled.

"What's wrong? Demon God, you haven't responded to my words for such a long time; is there something in your heart? Or do you simply have no intention of fulfilling your agreement?"

At this moment, the Demon God laughed.

"Do you think I'm stupid? If I release the people, is there still a chance to negotiate with you?"

"Li Yue" said.

"I am already standing before you, yet you still worry about this and that? Or is it that you have always been afraid of me?"

The Demon God said nothing, but propped his chin and gazed at "Li Yue."

Seriously pondering something.

After a short while, he waved his hand.

A Demon Clan soldier immediately reacted, said no more words, and brought a pair of handcuffs into the Demon God's hand.

The Demon God took the handcuffs from the Demon Clan soldier's hand, tossed them with his hand, and threw them at the feet of "Li Yue."

He said, "Wanting me to release the people first is not impossible, but you must first put on the shackles I specially made for you. Who knows, after I release the people, will you run away?"

"Li Yue" looked at the shackles beside his feet, and the corners of his mouth slightly rose in a smile: "Demon God, it is normal for you not to trust me, but I also do not quite trust you now. Who knows, after I put on the shackles, will you go back on your word?"

"It seems there is no room for negotiation at all?"

"No, no, no, there is still room for negotiation, but you must first release half the people; only then will I wear the shackles."

"Half the people? Li Yue, you are really thinking too beautifully; one, at most, I can only release one person for you," the Demon God said seriously.

"Li Yue" propped his chin in silence, seriously thinking about what he thought.

And finally, he slowly raised his head and looked at the Demon God: "Fine, you release one first, then I will put on the shackles."

The Demon God raised his hand, his fingers moved slightly; following this, the Demon Clan soldier beside him immediately understood, saying no more nonsense.

He grabbed one person and dragged him to 3.7 in front of "Li Yue."

Seeing this, "Li Yue" was very nervous, but in this situation, he could only calm himself down with all his strength.

He absolutely could not let the other party see any problem at all.

"Li Yue" supported the Lord beside him and asked repeatedly, "How is it? Can you walk?"

"Rest assured, there is no major problem. Lord Chenxi, just rest assured."

Hearing these words, "Li Yue" felt slightly relieved.

"In that case, you go up first; someone above will meet you, and the others will arrive shortly."

"Then... Lord Chenxi, will... will you die?" the other party asked nervously.

A slight smile curved Li Yue's lips as he said earnestly, "Rest assured, I will not die."
