Chapter 1235: Chapter 1255: If they dare to come, they have only one road to death!_1

Above the wasteland, the demon army spans across the sky, marching imposingly towards the city ahead.

When the demonic beasts stormed into the city along with the demon generals, they discovered that the entire city was desolate, populated only by some elderly and infirm that were determined to stay. Everyone else had already evacuated.

The vanguard team leader floated above the city, taking a glance at the central military camp on the distant wasteland, he absentmindedly waved his hand.

"Too few people, no need to assimilate. Just eat them all!"

The demonic beasts blanketed the land, searching all around for the scent of humans. Screams occasionally echoed through the city.

Soon, the entire city fell silent.

The demon vanguard troops scoured the entire city. After all, their troops needed to consume a considerable amount of supplies.

"Withdraw!"

Controlling the low-rank demonic beasts, the demons leapt over the city and headed towards the next city.

Lin Chen stood amidst a large circle of demons, his expression calm. He appeared completely different now, wrapped in an aura of demon energy, indistinguishable from the surrounding demons.

The demon army was roughly divided into three tiers: Great Demon Stage officers, True Self, Shape Transformation, and Golden Core Stage intermediate officers, and unintelligent low-ranking demonic beasts.

The battle between the demons and cultivators was simple. Overwhelm the opposition, kill them all, and victory was theirs.

High-ranking officers gave combat orders, intermediate officers led all lower-level demonic beasts into battle, senior officers supervised the fights, and when the time was appropriate, they joined the battlefield to confront or kill off the enemy’s high-ranking officers, ensuring the advancement of the battle line.

When the demons raided the city, Lin Chen hid within. He placed a Death Mark on himself to conceal his aura, then found a demon in the True Self stage who had a perfect physical transformation. He instantly killed the demon with the Chaos Soul Bead and Scorpion Tail Whip.

After killing the demon, Lin Chen took its clothes, transformed into its likeness, and boldly blended into the demon vanguard troops.

The demon aura on him was intentionally emitted by the Diamond Vine Demon Mei, who was hidden in his pocket, to cover up his human identity.

As he followed the rolling troops and listened in on the chats of other demon officers, Lin Chen gathered more information.

There were three front-line troops advancing side by side in the demon army, with the main force following closely, standing hundreds of miles apart.

When night fell, the troops set up camp.

Just as Lin Chen was pondering his next move, a burly man covered in body hair came over and said, "Let’s go, it’s time for drinks."

Lin Chen nodded and followed silently. After a few steps, he found they were heading straight for the tent where the vanguard commander, Niu Shan, was located.

"These humans sure did run fast, leaving us with nothing but empty cities..."

Lin Chen didn’t dare to speak, afraid that his accent would be recognized by someone familiar. Hence, he only nodded, indicating agreement and helplessness.

The burly man didn’t pay much attention to Lin Chen’s response. He laughed, "But they retreated in such a hurry that they left many things behind, including a wine cellar full of fine wine. What a shame that all the women ran away. Catching a bunch of them would have made drinking so much more fun."

Lin Chen responded with a noncommittal hum.

During their conversation, the two arrived at the entrance to the tent. There were guards standing at the entrance, but they did not stop them.

Inside the tent, a group of people were drinking. In the middle sat the vanguard commander Niu Shan.

Lin Chen chose a distant corner and started to drink with everyone else.

There were many people inside the tent, so Lin Chen’s quiet demeanor didn’t arouse anyone’s suspicions. He pretended to drink while listening in on their conversations.

"Ten thousand years ago, we almost succeeded, and this time, we will definitely conquer the Human race entirely. We’ll conquer all of the Barren Wilderness... wouldn’t you agree, Commander Niu?"

Niu Shan, holding his wine glass, chuckled and said, "Naturally."

"We’ve been pushing through for many days now but haven’t seen any serious resistance. The people in the cities have all retreated. Are they not planning to fight us?"

"Fight? With what? The Human Emperor only has a few people by his side. If they tried to engage us, they would die from a single spit."

"I heard that there are two incredibly powerful... Immortal Slaves by the side of the Human Emperor, is that right?"

"Immortal Slaves are probably similar to our Great Witches, only ordinary Great Demons can’t stop them. That’s why the previous vanguard squadrons were defeated. But this time there are so many Great witches in our army – if they dared to attack, it would be suicidal."

"Our vanguard troops don’t have any Great Witches either. If we run into one, wouldn’t we be doomed?"

Niu Shan laughed and said, "We’re only a hundred miles away from the main army. If we really encounter one, I’ll send out a signal, and they’ll arrive in no time!"

Pausing for a moment, Niu Shan lowered his voice and said, "I’ll tell you, there are Immortals stationed within the main army. They wouldn’t dare to attack, or it would mean certain death for them."

The atmosphere immediately became electric. Someone asked, "Commander, have you seen an immortal before?"

Niu Shan chuckled, "How could I? But I did see the Saint Monarch talking to the air... Heh heh, guess who he was talking to?"

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Niu Shan, and he made up his mind.

It must be him!

With his identity as the commander of the vanguard troops, it would be believable for him to enter the heart of the central army!
