Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244: Why does the Demon Emperor associate with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?

The Black Rhino Demon’s face had turned pale, he had never imagined that as a Great Demon, there would come a day when he would be threatened in such a manner. After all, he was always the one doing the threatening, the one tormenting others. Yet today, he was like meat on a chopping board, utterly powerless to resist, just as the human woman who was previously in his arms.

He was scared.

He didn’t want to die.

At their level of power, their lives were incredibly prolonged. Who would wish for death?

To end up like those ten individuals just now, dead and their paths erased, dissipating like smoke?

"What do you want to know?"

Carson Flores asked indifferently, "Half a year ago, I personally met with the Demon Emperor. He promised me to abandon the ’Conquer Thousand Cities’ plan and to give up on the idea of attacking the Human Race. Why, after half a year, did you suddenly renege on the agreement, mobilize a large army, and launch a military attack on the Human Race?"

"I don’t know."

Right after the Black Rhino Demon gave his response, he saw Carson Flores’s gaze suddenly turn icy cold. His body shuddered in fear, and he quickly added, "I’m just an insignificant Vanguard Officer, unaware of the details. However, I’ve heard rumors that several months ago, an Immortal visited the Demon Emperor’s Palace. Not long after that, His Majesty ordered the troops to assemble, and then they began the attack..."

Immortal!

It was indeed Maggie Fitzgerald causing trouble!

Carson Flores’s mind raced, quickly coming to a conclusion. Most likely, Maggie Fitzgerald realized something had happened to his Incarnation and sent someone to investigate. Then, having found some clues but failing to locate him, she decided to threaten and lure the Demon Race into declaring war.

As the Human Emperor and with Cristopher Hopkins also being a well-intentioned individual, if the Human Race faced warfare, he would undoubtedly step forward, thereby exposing his whereabouts.

With a start, Carson Flores wondered, could it be that the Immortal pressured the Demon Race to wage war, not for the Demon Race to dominate the realm, but to force him out of hiding?

If he showed himself now, wouldn’t that mean he had fallen right into the opponent’s plot?

"Where is the Demon Emperor?"

"In the rear, approximately at the juncture of Central Divine Continent, Easty Prefecture, and Eastern Emperor Province. That’s also where the Demon Race’s command headquarters is located."

"What kind of powerful beings are by the Demon Emperor’s side, are there any Immortals?"

"I’m not sure about that. The matters concerning Immortals are based on hearsay, but there’s no evidence to confirm whether this is related to them or not."

Carson Flores followed up with more questions, and the Black Rhino Demon cooperated in answering them. He knew the answers to some and not to others; after all, he was just a Vanguard Officer. His power was passable, but among the high ranks of the entire Demon Race, he truly wasn’t much.

By the time Carson Flores finished his questioning, the entire vanguard had completely fled, leaving no one behind.

Seeing this, Carson Flores coldly sneered, "I thought your Demon Race’s army was so formidable, so fearless in facing death. Turns out they’re just a bunch of cowards afraid of death..."

The Black Rhino Demon could hardly bear the shame, "Your Excellency is the Human Emperor; of course, everyone is afraid. I’ve told you all you wanted to know; can you spare my life?"

Carson Flores asked coldly, "I haven’t finished asking. Along the way, every city that resisted was completely refined by someone into Blood Beads. What’s the deal with that?"

The Black Rhino Demon answered, "That was the doing of Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect."

Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect!

Carson Flores frowned and questioned, "How did Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect get involved with you Demon Race?"

The Black Rhino Demon replied, "That, I don’t know. Anyway, by the time the war started, they had joined us. Whenever we encountered cities that dared to resist, we would break through their defenses, and then they would set up Formations, turning everyone in the city into Blood Beads."

Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect has joined forces with the Demon Race?

Carson Flores narrowed his eyes and asked, "An order from the Demon Emperor?"

"Yes!"

The Black Rhino Demon answered, "When His Majesty issued this command, many were unwilling."

"Why were they unwilling?"

The Black Rhino Demon spoke in a low voice, "Even when it comes to slaughtering cities, we’d prefer to turn those people into Blood Food and to toy with human women, even letting them bear offspring for the Demon Race..."

The coldness in Carson Flores’s eyes intensified. Due to physical structure and other reasons, some of the Demon Race had impressive innate abilities, but their breeding power was not strong. However, this was not the case for humans.

Their fertility and childbearing cycle were far superior to those higher-tier Demons. Therefore, such Demons liked to use human women to procreate.

Their bloodline was powerful, meaning the offspring would mostly inherit the father’s bloodline, with minimal impact from the human lineage. In addition, there was an advantage: the children of transformed Demons and human women, though bearing Demon bloodlines, would appear more human-like, making them more suitable for cultivation.

When the Demon Race conquered human cities, the men would either become laboring slaves or be killed for Blood Food, but the women often became slaves for the purpose of breeding.

Carson Flores lifted his gaze to the horizon, filled with puzzlement.

If the Demon Race was going to attack, why did they have to get involved with the likes of Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, even granting them such authority?

Would they really prefer to have their army go without Blood Food and female slaves for breeding, so long as they agreed to let them refine entire cities?
