Chapter 1461: Crisis Approaches

Time passed bit by bit, the sky gradually brightened, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed a brilliant red, looking very beautiful, like a blooming peony emitting an alluring fragrance.

"Dawn is finally coming," Li Yue said.

"My Lord Chenxi, it is late; you should rest early." Just then, a soldier spoke.

In fact, throughout the night, Li Yue had been worried about the Mozu Society invading the Dark City, so he remained on high alert; only by morning did the stone in his heart finally settle.

"Hmm, good. You go down and rest too." Li Yue nodded and gave the order to the soldier.

The soldier withdrew, and at that moment, Li Yue turned and left the rooftop.

Walking into the room, Li Yue took a deep breath.

Last night, because he had been constantly worried about the Demon God's army, he had not slept at all; now he could finally rest a little, which greatly improved Li Yue's spirits.

Glancing at the bed, Li Yue sat down, closed his eyes to gather his spirit, and prepared to wait for the coming battle.

His injuries were gradually improving, but Todd Nelson and William Jones were now wounded; attempting to fight would likely be difficult. So, this battle should be left to Li Yue to resolve.

Waiting for the right moment, waiting for the opportunity, waiting for time.

Once the moment arrives, that will be the day Li Yue strikes.

Just as Li Yue had begun to prepare for a brief rest, a burst of noisy footsteps suddenly reached his ears.

Hearing the commotion outside, Li Yue furrowed his brows, narrowed his eyes, and his expression grew much colder.

"Has something happened?"

At that moment, the door was pushed open, a soldier entered, and then closed the door behind him.

Seeing that it was someone sent by the Li Yue Sect, Li Yue asked, "What is it?"

"Reporting to my lord, we have discovered a large number of demonic beasts heading this way, moving with incredible speed." Upon hearing Li Yue's question, the soldier immediately reported.

Hearing this, Li Yue could not help but frown, then slowly said, "Demonic beasts? Where are they from?"

"This, your subordinate does not know." The soldier kept his head down, his tone sounding somewhat timid.

After hearing the soldier's answer, Li Yue also felt strange.

"In any case, more than a dozen demonic beasts are now heading toward the Dark City; they smash through walls upon encountering them, extremely ferocious. Judging by this, it will not take long before they charge into our camp."

After listening to the soldier's words, Li Yue immediately furrowed his brows and asked, "What kind of demonic beasts are these?"

Upon hearing Li Yue's question, the soldier raised his head and said, "According to the intelligence your subordinate has gathered, it is unclear; almost every type is present. The only thing is that they are all heading toward us with a clear target. And..." At this point, the soldier hesitated.

"And what?" Hearing the soldier's hesitant speech, Li Yue raised his eyebrows and asked.

"And behind these dozen or so demonic beasts, the Mozu Society has also begun a massive advance!"

Hearing this news, Li Yue could not help but frown.

"The Mozu Society is launching a massive advance at this very moment!"

"Damn it!" Li Yue could not help but curse.

"I really did not expect it; it turns out the Mozu Society is behind this," Li Yue said.

"My lord, what should we do now? If the Mozu Society attacks, then..." The soldier did not finish his sentence.

"Rest assured." Hearing the soldier's words, Li Yue said, "We are almost all hiding in various secret chambers and tunnels throughout the Dark City. Even if the Mozu Society arrives, the Yishiban Society will likely not be able to achieve much for a while; instead, those demonic beasts are the real trouble."

Saying this, Li Yue looked out the window and then said, "This time, we may have to work hard."

"Is that so?" Hearing Li Yue's words, the soldier hesitated somewhat.

"Lord Chenxi, what do you need us to do?" The soldier then asked.

"It is simple. I need you to block these demonic beasts or draw them away; in any case, they must not enter the city. Once they enter, they will inevitably cause major destruction to our hiding places. Can you do it?" Li Yue looked at the soldier and said.

"My lord, rest assured; this matter is left to us!" Hearing Li Yue's words, the soldier patted his chest and promised.

"Excellent!" Li Yue nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Li Yue said to the soldier again, "Remember, you must be careful and cautious; absolutely no mistakes must occur. If anything happens, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Yes, my lord, please rest assured!" The soldier replied respectfully.

"Very well, there is nothing else; you may go down now." Li Yue said indifferently.

As Li Yue's words fell, the soldier left the room.

After the soldier left, Li Yue immediately stood up from the bed, came to the window, looked at the situation outside, and a cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
