Chapter 1225: Chapter 1245: Can you really believe in the promises made when somebody wants you to risk your life? _1

The Black Rhino Demon is dead.

As a vanguard officer, he led the demon army, capturing numerous cities, and in the process, stained his hands with the blood of countless individuals.

He deserved to die.

Despite asking numerous questions and understanding the current situation, Lin Chen still couldn’t unravel the perplexities in his heart.

Did the Demon Emperor wage war because of Weijiao or someone related to Weijiao?

How did he collaborate with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, providing them with numerous conveniences? Did they reward him with blood beads?

Did the demon race initiate the attack truly with the intention of unifying the Barren Wilderness, or just to force him out?

Those around him didn’t have the answers to these questions.

"What do we do now?"

Lin Chen looked at the women standing at the entrance of the tent, shook off his tangled thoughts, and asked.

"First, take them back to the city, then find the next military group."

Lin Chen’s gaze hardened, "Regardless, since it has started, it cannot stop."

Even if this was a trap, Lin Chen was ready to face it!

His enemies only knew that he had a resurrected Xuan Ji by his side, but they didn’t know he also had the Ghost Tower, which is powerful enough to suppress an Immortal’s incarnation.

If everyone started calculating, who will come out on top?

...

In the bordering land of the Central Divine State, East Emperor State, and Dongpengzhou, the demon aura soared, and countless demons surrounded an unscaled mountain peak.

Atop the peak stood a magnificently built metal palace.

The Demon Emperor stood at the entrance of the palace, his brow furrowed.

It had been such a long time since the demon army invaded the Three Continents, why hadn’t Lin Chen shown himself yet?

Did he really not care about the lives and deaths of the Human Clan at all?

Isn’t he the Human Emperor?

How could the Human Emperor ignore the life and death of his people?

Or was it because his strength was too weak, he knew that he couldn’t do much even if he appeared, so he simply hid somewhere, cultivating and waiting for an opportunity?

Didn’t he have an Immortal named Xuan Ji backing him up?

With an Immortal standing behind him, what was he afraid of?

Now, he faintly felt regret. When he had met with Lin Chen alone earlier, Lin Chen had told him that Lin Chen had the ability to capture him.

This man, he actually saved an Immortal!

Having an Immortal as a backer, no wonder he was so tough!

No wonder he was asking about the ultimate goal of his initiation of the war. He was confused at the time, but now he understands everything.

Lin Chen was asking if he had an Immortal behind him, if he was just a pawn of some Immortal!

A complicated look appeared on the Demon Emperor’s face. He had been full of pride when he answered those questions. He never thought that, after a few months, he would indeed become an underling of an Immortal.

Although the other party was courteous to him, he understood that from the moment the other party appeared, he was no longer the superior Demon Emperor.

Even if the Immortal hadn’t shown himself to others, even if he was still respected by the demon race, he knew, he was now just a proxy for the Immortal.

He yearned to become an Immortal;

The Demon Emperor desperately desired it, but he dared not think much about it.

He knew how alluring the pies that leaders drew were, but were they real?

Wasn’t the greatest probability of his life being in someone else’s hands a bitter one?

He found these feelings of helplessness and irritability unbearable. How could he feel at ease being such a proud person?

Feeling helpless but powerless to resist.

Maddening!

"Report!"

A swiftly flying demon soldier loudly reported, then knelt down a short distance away.

"Report, General Black Rhino’s vanguard team has encountered the Human Emperor. General Black Rhino, along with ten Great Demons, have all died in battle. The vanguard team scattered!"

The Demon Emperor’s eyes suddenly lit up. "The Human Emperor? Did Lin Chen appear?"

"Yes, Lin Chen is launching an open attack on the vanguard team, leading just four people. Two of them are incredibly formidable and killed six Great Demons in the blink of an eye. The remaining Great Demons attempted to escape but failed. All died in battle, completely wiped out, not a single one escaped!"

The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes: "What about the other troops?"

"All have scattered. The Human Emperor did not pursue, but let everyone bring back a message..."

The Demon Emperor asked in a deep voice: "What message?"

The reporting soldier hesitated for a moment, finally lowering his head and spoke respectfully: "Retreat to Dong Peng, and spare your carcasses."

A cold light flashed in the Demon Emperor’s eyes, he waved his hand, "Alright, go."

After the reporter left, the Demon Emperor walked back into the palace and spoke to the seemingly empty grand hall: "Lin Chen has finally appeared. What should we do now?"

A cold voice suddenly echoed through the hall: "Send out the Great Witch, lure out Xuan Ji, and leave the rest to us."
