Capítulo 1172: Chapter 1172: Threat

Li Yao was surprised. He had thought that a tough battle was imminent, but unexpectedly, the Black Heart Lord had made such a decisive retreat.

"The Black Heart Lord seems to have some ideas. It looks like he saw the strength of his master and had to back down," the Black Dragon Queen said.

Li Yao nodded, "This time, he and the Gryphon Lord fought too fiercely. Besides, now that we have acquired Griffin City, he saw that I had no intention of letting him go. He opted for a strategic retreat, presenting a true threat."

"With Black Heart falling, it is unlikely he would return to the Dark Council. He would probably enter the domain of the fallen elves underground. This increases the threat we face from below," the Black Dragon Queen said with furrowed brows.
