The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1192 Where is your dignity as a great demon?
"How many city lords like Qin Hao surrendered?"

The old man replied, "I have subdued thirteen along the way. Others who refused to submit were secretly killed by me, disguised as seeking revenge, to prevent our plan from being exposed."

"There are quite a few people like me. I think that at least two hundred cities have already secretly submitted to our demon race..."

Two hundred cities!
Although the Wilderness Realm is vast, the distance between each city is very far. Two hundred cities already represent a very large area.

More importantly, their infiltration activities are still ongoing, and if I hadn't stumbled upon them today, their numbers would probably have increased rapidly.

The old man's name was Xiang Sheng. He was a late-stage Great Demon and a member of the infiltration team. His position was not high, so more information about him was unknown.

Where is Nalan Wushuang?

Lin Chen suddenly asked, "Did she go back?"

"He's gone back and is currently in seclusion, reportedly trying to break through to the Great Demon Realm."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "The Demon Ancestor and she had a conflict, but the Demon Ancestor didn't deal with her?"

Xiang Sheng asked in confusion, "Do the Demon Ancestor and the Holy Maiden have a conflict?"

Lin Chen glanced at him and knew he was also kept in the dark. He sneered, "Your demon ancestor left so many conditions, ultimately pointing to Nalan Wushuang to resurrect her. Wasn't it all just to possess the Holy Maiden's body and live a second life?"

Xiang Sheng's eyes widened in shock as he asked, "Then what about the rumors that you kidnapped the Holy Maiden...?"

Lin Chen replied, "I was secretly following her. Naturally, I couldn't let the Demon Ancestor successfully possess Nalan Wushuang. So when Nalan Wushuang was unconscious, I took her away and fought the Demon Ancestor in the Eternal Tomb, destroying her physical body. The reason the demon race searched for Nalan Wushuang in all directions was because the Demon Ancestor couldn't wait to capture her and possess her..."

Xiang Sheng stared at Lin Chen in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

"You destroyed the Demon Ancestor's physical body?"

Lin Chen said coldly, "Otherwise, if I hadn't just been recognized by the Human Emperor Seal and wasn't strong enough, her primordial spirit would definitely not have been able to escape, and there wouldn't have been any of this later."

Xiang Sheng felt immense regret.

If I had known about this earlier, I would have run away the moment I saw Lin Chen. Even the Demon Ancestor was almost destroyed by Lin Chen. Who am I?

I was truly blinded by greed, actually deluding myself into thinking I could kill Lin Chen, steal the Human Emperor's Seal, and achieve a great feat...

Looking back, Lin Chen knew perfectly well that he was a powerful demon, yet he still revealed his identity as the Human Emperor without hesitation. It wasn't because he wanted to use that identity to seek help from others, but because he was absolutely confident he could defeat him. How foolish I was!
With this thought in mind, Xiang Sheng completely abandoned any wishful thinking and offered his last and greatest sincerity.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to sign a contract with you, serve you as my master, and obey your commands. I only ask that you spare my life."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised and asked with a smile, "You are a great demon, don't you feel wronged? What about your dignity as a great demon?"

Xiang Sheng sighed: "Among all living beings in the world, humans are the most suitable for cultivation. If we demons want to achieve success in cultivation, we need to put in more effort and go through more hardships before we can finally take human form and start on the same footing as human cultivators."

"You are only a few decades old, yet you have already reached your current strength, while I have lived for eighteen hundred and ten years. If I could live, who would want to die?"

"You are the Human Emperor, and your future is destined to be glorious. Submitting to you is hardly a grievance, let alone the pride of a great demon."

Lin Chen stared at Xiang Sheng, who calmly looked back at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with expectation, but the initial fear and anger were gone.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, offer up your true soul and I'll spare your life."

A sudden burst of intense joy flashed in Xiang Sheng's eyes, and without saying a word, he drew out his true soul.

Following the instructions of his former senior sister, Lin Chen signed a master-servant contract with Xiang Sheng. From then on, Xiang Sheng's life was in Lin Chen's hands. If Lin Chen wanted Xiang Sheng dead, he only needed to think of it.

It's a late-stage Great Demon, after all, with considerable strength. Keeping it around would be fine, even as a scout. If Lin Chen wants to venture deeper into the demon realm, it can also provide cover for him.

Having signed the contract, Lin Chen released the restriction on his primordial spirit, which then flew back into Xiang Sheng's body.

Lin Chen glanced at Qin Hao beside him, who pleaded desperately, "He's a great demon, and I'm just a Nascent Soul cultivator. If I don't surrender, I'll die immediately. I have no choice..."

Lin Chen walked up to Qin Hao and calmly replied, "Perhaps you were forced to surrender to the demon race, but no one forced you to kill the Qi brothers, right?"

Qin Hao panicked immediately, because no matter how he tried to justify it, he couldn't find a reason.

"I was just greedy for a moment, Your Majesty, spare my life, I'll do anything you want..."

Lin Chen calmly shook his head: "I promised to give Qi Hengchuan justice, you must die."
