Chapter 1219: Chapter 1239: A Concern at the Bottom of my Heart, Eventually Can’t be Put Down_1

Upon hearing of the demon race’s invasion, Lin Chen’s first thought was to find the Demon Emperor and ask why he went back on his word.

Lin Chen even considered using the powers of Xuan Ji and Qi to capture the Demon Emperor and stop the invasion. But upon hearing of a cultivator backing the demon race, he immediately became alert.

Lin Chen had previously asked the Demon Emperor about his reasons for initiating the war and if there was anyone else behind it. The Demon Emperor replied it was his own will. However, now this war may not necessarily be his will anymore.

"What’s the situation now? Where has the demon army reached?"

The waiter replied, "I’ve heard that the Demon Army is massive and they’ve divided their forces to simultaneously attack the North Wu State, the Central Divine State, and the East Emperor State. They’ve already captured many cities..."

Lin Chen’s expression changed slightly. Was the demon race going all out for this fight?

If their backbone is Weijiao, then what has Weijiao promised them?

A threat?

A temptation?

The highest probability would be the temptation to become an immortal. ’Follow my orders and I’ll make you an immortal, but if you don’t listen, I’ll kill you and replace you with someone else.’

With a stick and a carrot, there’s probably no one who could resist.

The Demon Emperor is probably no exception.

"What about the Human Clan, are they resisting?"

The waiter replied with a bitter smile, "The Demon Army attacked so abruptly, although there were some rumors before, nobody really took them seriously. Now, in a hurry, there’s no resistance."

"Communication between the states is slow. By the time the Human Clan Army is organized to counterattack, we probably wouldn’t know how many cities have already fallen into the hands of the demon race."

Lin Chen suddenly remembered that he still had a city in Central Divine State, Xingyuan City. Recalling the couple’s devotion to Xingyuan City, he had killed the occupying demon race and stayed in the city for a while to ensure peace, later handing the city over to the King Kong Bandit Group for protection.

I wonder if Xingyuan City has fallen.

Lin Chen fell into contemplation. He could return to Xixi State to find his family and behave as if nothing had happened, but he found it unbearable.

The scene at the gate of Xingyuan City, where countless people were kneeling on the ground mourning the death of the couple who were the city lords, was still fresh in Lin Chen’s mind.

Xingyuan City wasn’t very big, it was just a small city with not too many people. But Lin Chen had lived there for a while and was familiar with its local life.

The good-natured breakfast shop owner, Old Li, the foul-mouthed but extraordinarily generous pork stall owner, Chen San, the tough-talking but soft-hearted tofu shop owner, Widow Liu...

After finishing his meal, Lin Chen decided to go back and have a look.

He had once said that he could not sacrifice himself for the sake of all living beings, but he could at least try his best.

After all, Xingyuan City was his city. The King Kong Bandit Group was just helping him manage it. He might not care about other cities, but should he care about Xingyuan City?

The place was in the eastern part of North Wu State, not too far from Dongpeng State and Central Divine State. As Lin Chen rushed all the way, he made simple inquiries in every city he passed.

"Master, there’s a large city ahead..."

"Go and have a look."

The flying boat approached the city, and then Lin Chen saw a deserted city after a fire.

It was empty.

Even the city’s Protective Barrier was gone. The flying boat hovered in mid-air, and Lin Chen stepped into the city.

The entire city was burned into ruins. Lin Chen flew coldly over the ruins, finally landing in a small residential area that was still relatively intact.

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on a skeleton in the corner of the wall, his pupils suddenly contracted.

This skeleton was completely clean, without a trace of flesh and blood.

Lin Chen had seen this before!

As Lin Chen wandered in Kong Yuan City, he had seen one skeleton after another, clean without a trace of flesh and blood.

All their flesh and blood had been absorbed and refined by the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array, and finally refined into a Wanling Blood Pearl!

400,000 people, one Wanling Blood Pearl!

Now, Lin Chen was seeing the same kind of skeletons here again.

Lin Chen slowly flew in this area, and then he saw one skeleton after another.

Adults, children, the elderly...

All their skeletons were completely clean, with no trace of flesh and blood left.

Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array!

Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect!

While Lin Chen was angry, he was also a little puzzled.

This area has already been occupied by the demon race, and logically, even if the demon race slaughtered the human race, it would turn them into their blood food. They would not use the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array to refine blood beads.

Do the demons also practice the cultivation of the Refining Path?

Or is it possible that cultivators who practice the Refining Path, like the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, have teamed up with the demon race?

With furrowed eyebrows, Lin Chen pressed on.

He passed many cities along the way and saw at least about ten of them that had been refined. All the residents in the city turned into skeletons.

The sudden invasion of the Demon Army, wherever they go, all residents of the resistant cities will be refined by the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array, turning into one Wanling Blood Pill after another.

Lin Chen always felt that there seems to be a connection between the demon race’s invasion and the reappearance of the Refining Path, but he couldn’t confirm it at the moment.

With a heavy heart, Lin Chen rushed to Central Divine State, to Xingyuan City.
