Chapter 1556: The Last Hostage

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, two months had gone by.

During these two months, at regular intervals, Li Yue arranged for the captured Demon Clan Generals to be sent back, employing this as a measure to delay time.

And today was the moment to deliver the final hostage.

At this moment, Li Yue, Princess Feifeng, Lord Chenxi, and the two others, General Todd Nelson and Lord William Jors, the God-Slayer, gathered together.

They seemed to be discussing something, their expressions appearing somewhat Solemn.

"Lord Chenxi, Princess Feifeng. Now is the time to deliver the final Demon hostage. I imagine that once the person is handed over, the next phase will be fierce combat," William Jors said.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Li Yue nodded, then looked at Princess Feifeng and Todd Nelson before him. "Do you have any good plans?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, Princess Feifeng Todd Nelson fell silent for a moment, then spoke: "Lord Chenxi, I believe we truly must consider carefully what to do next. After all, on the Demon Clan's side, we do not hold the advantage, so I think it would be better not to release the person."

Hearing this, Lord William Jors nodded. "Hmm, what Princess Feifeng says makes sense."

After hearing William Jors's words, Li Yue shook his head slightly and said: "No, we absolutely cannot do that. You must understand one thing: if we do this and provoke the Demon Clan, it will only drive them to desperation. At that time, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, if we act with such shamelessness, how do you think the soldiers will view us?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, Princess Feifeng Todd Nelson pondered for a moment, then said: "Then what should we do?"

After hearing Princess Feifeng's inquiry, Li Yue replied: "Meet the soldier with a general, meet the water with earth. Since the enemy wants to fight, then we shall fight. Anyway, over this long period, we have made the necessary preparations."

Hearing Li Yue's words, both Todd Nelson and William Jors nodded.

"Very well, since Lord Chenxi insists, we shall proceed as you say," Todd Nelson said.

"Then fine, you two go prepare first; I will take the hostage over first," Li Yue said at this moment.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Princess Feifeng Todd Nelson beside him immediately shook his head slightly to veto it.

"Wait! Lord Chenxi! I have a proposal; I think you should consider it first," Princess Feifeng said.

After hearing Princess Feifeng's words, Li Yue looked at her and asked in confusion: "Oh? What proposal do you have?"

Princess Feifeng looked at Li Yue and said: "Here is the situation. I think it would be better if I went to exchange the hostage."

Hearing Princess Feifeng's words, Li Yue was stunned for a moment.

"Why?"

Li Yue was somewhat confused; why did Princess Feifeng want to voluntarily undertake this task?

Seeing Li Yue's expression, Princess Feifeng explained: "Lord Chenxi, suppose an accident occurs during the hostage exchange. If I go, nothing will happen to me, but if you go and something happens, we will be finished."

"So I think it is more appropriate for me to exchange the hostage."

Hearing Princess Feifeng's words, after Li Yue fell silent for a moment, he looked at her and said: "No, it is better for me to handle this matter."

"Why? Lord Chenxi, if something unexpected happens to you, we will all be finished. Don't you know that?" Princess Feifeng continued to persuade.

Hearing Princess Feifeng's words, Li Yue smiled and waved his hand: "Precisely because I know that, I am the one who must go. Do not be agitated, Princess Feifeng, listen to me. If you go, and the Demon Clan makes any move, you will not even be able to escape. But I am different; at least I possess my own means of survival."

"Besides, there is no need for me to let you take risks. After all, you are also an important combat force among us," Li Yue said with a smile.

After hearing Li Yue's words, Princess Feifeng hesitated for a long while, then said: "Very well then. But Lord Chenxi, you must be extremely careful."

"Hmm, rest assured, it will be fine. You too," Li Yue said with a smile.

Afterwards, Princess Feifeng and Lord William Jors, the God-Slayer, took their leave and departed.

After the two left, Li Yue looked at the Demon Clan General before him, who was bound hand and foot, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly rising: "Alright, let's go." Upon seeing Li Yue's expression, the Demon Clan General's entire body tensed up, staring unblinkingly at Li Yue.

It seemed as if he wanted to swallow Li Yue alive.

Seeing this, Li Yue smiled and shook his head, then looked at the Demon Clan General before him and said: "What? You do not want to see your Demon God my lord? If you continue like this, I will not mind teaching you a good lesson, so just behave yourself."

After finishing, Li Yue pushed the Demon Clan General in front of him and walked out.

Not long after, Li Yue, alone, brought the Demon Clan General to Chengmenkou, the city gate of the Dark City.

At this time, the Demon God had not yet arrived, but many Demon Clan soldiers were guarding there. Each stood tall and straight, looking as if they were ready for battle, appearing like statues, motionless.

When Li Yue brought the Demon Clan General to Chengmenkou, his gaze fell upon Li Yue and the Demon Clan General.

"Hey? Where is your Demon God my lord? Why do I not see him?" After looking around, Li Yue asked.

Hearing this, one of the Demon Clan soldiers said: "The Demon God my lord is busy with matters and cannot come out for the time being, so he dispatched us to represent the Demon God my lord."

Hearing this Demon Clan soldier's words, Li Yue smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, Li Yue asked again: "Is your Demon God my lord truly not afraid that I will play some trick?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, this Demon Clan soldier sneered, then said: "Our Demon Clan's Demon God my lord is a mighty powerhouse of the True God Realm. What does he have to fear from you, a mere human? If you make any move, our great army will rush forward and instantly tear you to pieces!"

"Enough, enough. Your group's tone grows bolder day by day, yet you have not seen yourselves able to do anything to me," Li Yue said to this Demon Clan soldier with a smile.

"Since that is the case, then I will return your Demon Clan General to you," Li Yue said, his gaze turning to the Demon Clan General beside him.

The Demon Clan General looked at Li Yue with a grim expression but said nothing; obviously, the Demon Clan General also understood that at this moment, whatever he said would be futile.
