Chapter 1224: Chapter 1244: Why does the Demon Emperor want to mingle with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?_1

The Great Black Rhino Demon had turned pale. He had never thought that as a Great Demon, there would come a day when he would be so threatened. After all, he had always been the one threatening and tormenting others. But today, he was like a helpless piece of meat on a chopping board, just like the human woman he had held in his arms before.

He was scared.

He didn’t want to die.

At their level of power, their lives were extremely long. Who would want to die?

Like those ten people just now, who had vanished into smoke and disappeared?

"What do you want to know?"

Lin Chen asked calmly, "Half a year ago, I met with the Demon Emperor in person, and he promised to abandon the Thousand Cities Plan and the idea of attacking the human race. So why, half a year later, did he suddenly go back on his word, and the demon army attacked the human race by force?"

"I’m not sure."

As soon as the Great Black Rhino Demon answered, he saw Lin Chen’s suddenly cold gaze. He shuddered, and quickly added, "I’m just an insignificant vanguard officer, I don’t know the inside story. But I heard a rumor that several months ago, an immortal visited the Demon Emperor’s Palace. Not long after, His Majesty ordered us to gather our forces and start the attack..."

An Immortal!

As expected, Weijiao was causing trouble!

Lin Chen thought quickly, and soon figured it out. Weijiao must have sensed that his clone was in trouble, sent someone to investigate again, and then found some clues. Unable to find him, she resorted to forcing the demon race to start a war.

As the Human Emperor, and seeing that Xuan Ji was kind-hearted, if the human race was plunged into war, he would surely come forward... and thus his whereabouts would be revealed.

Lin Chen was suddenly struck with a thought. Could it be that the Immortal was forcing the Demon Race to start a war, and the ultimate goal was not to dominate the world by the Demon Race, but to force him to show up?

If so, wouldn’t it mean that he had fallen right into the other party’s trap by showing up?

"Where is the Demon Emperor?"

"He’s behind us, probably at the junction of Central Divine State, Dongpengzhou, and East Emperor State. That’s also the main camp of the demon race’s commanding headquarters."

"Who are the powerful figures around the Demon Emperor? Are there any Immortals?"

"I’m not sure. The matter of the immortal is just a rumor. But whether this matter has anything to do with the immortal, there is no evidence."

Lin Chen then asked some more questions, and the Great Black Rhino Demon cooperated in answering them. He knew some of the answers and didn’t know others. After all, he was just a vanguard officer. Although his power was passable, he was not considered significant among the higher-ups of the demon race.

By the time Lin Chen finished questioning, the entire vanguard team had completely dispersed.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen sneered, "I thought your demon army was very powerful and unafraid of death... Turns out you’re just a bunch of cowards."

The Great Black Rhino Demon was filled with shame, "You are the Human Emperor, everyone naturally fears you. I told you everything I know. Can you let me live?"

Lin Chen coldly asked, "I haven’t finished questioning. On your way here, all the city dwellers who resisted were turned into blood beads. What’s going on?"

The Great Black Rhino Demon replied, "That was done by the people from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect."

As expected, it was the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect!

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "How did the people from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect get involved with you demons?"

The Great Black Rhino Demon answered, "I’m not sure about that. But when the war started, they were with us. If a city dared to resist, we would break through their defenses and they would set up Array Formations to turn all the people in the city into blood beads."

The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect joined forces with the demon race?

Lin Chen squinted and asked, "Was this an order from the Demon Emperor?"

"Yes!"

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

"Why were they reluctant?"

The Great Black Rhino Demon quietly answered, "Even if they were to massacre cities, they would prefer these people to be transformed into blood food, to be abused by a woman of the human race, and even make them reproduce for the demon race..."

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly turned colder. Due to physical limitations, some of the demon races had powerful innate abilities, but their reproduction abilities were not strong. However, this was not the case for humans.

Whether it was their ability to conceive or their gestation period, humans were much stronger than those high-ranking demon races. That’s why these demons liked to use human women to reproduce.

Their bloodlines were very powerful, so the offspring they produced, more often than not, inherited the fathers’ bloodlines, with the human bloodlines having minimal influence. Even better, the offspring of shape-shifting demons and human women, although sharing the demon bloodline, looked more like humans, which made cultivation more suitable.

When the demon race conquered a human city, human men either became labor slaves or were killed to become blood food. But those women often became slaves to the demons, solely for reproducing.

Lin Chen lifted his gaze to the horizon, filled with growing confusion.

Why would the demon race join forces with the people from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, and give them such great authority for the invasion?

Would they rather have the demon army without blood food and female slaves for reproduction, just to allow them to refine entire cities into blood beads?
