The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1201 City of the Demon Emperor
Dongsheng Prefecture, located in the northeast of the entire Wilderness Realm, is the lair and base of the demon race. Ten thousand years ago, the demon race swept across the world, and the demon emperor established the demon kingdom in Dongsheng Prefecture.

Although Dongsheng Prefecture and Dongpeng Prefecture are the domain of the demon race and there are no cities inhabited by humans, it does not mean that there are no humans.

Although the demon race is powerful, before they can take human form, they are inferior to humans in many things, such as the simplest construction and manufacturing. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the demon race has enslaved humans to work for them, which is actually a real need.

There are a large number of human slaves in Dongpeng Prefecture and Dongsheng Prefecture. They were all purchased from Zhongshen Prefecture, Donghuang Prefecture and other places, and some were kidnapped in previous wars. After millions of years of development, their numbers are not small. However, they have all been slaves of the demon race for generations, doing various low-level jobs and serving the demon race.

Xiang Sheng is an elephant demon. In terms of strength among all demons, he naturally wouldn't rank high. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to persuade the city lord to secretly occupy the city. But in any case, he is a late-stage great demon, which is quite powerful among demons.

The demon race takes pride in enslaving the human race, so it seems perfectly reasonable for Xiang Sheng, a great demon, to bring a newly acquired Nascent Soul stage human slave to serve him.

Wearing a mask, Lin Chen followed behind Xiang Sheng like a servant, traveling northeast from Donghuang Prefecture, passing through Dongpeng Prefecture, and finally arriving at Dongsheng Prefecture.

Lin Chen passed through many demon cities along the way, and thanks to Xiang Sheng's cover, he didn't encounter any trouble. If he had come alone, he probably would have fought countless battles along the way.

Lin Chen's journey has been quite eye-opening.

In the demon realm, humans without skills do the hardest work, eat the cheapest food, and live like pigs, dogs, cattle, and horses. Humans with a little more skill have a slightly higher status, serving as managers or other similar positions, and their living conditions are better, but their status is still that of slaves.

Considering the treatment of monsters in the human world, and then looking back at this place, it becomes clear.

Lin Chen's journey was marked by a shift in emotions, from initial shock to eventual numbness, until he finally arrived at the largest city in Dongsheng Prefecture, which was also the imperial city of the demon race.

Saint-Gobain.

The cities of the demon race seem not to be much different from human cities. There are densely packed houses and wide walkways. Although the various demons who have completed their transformations still retain some characteristics of the demon race, they generally do not look much different from humans.

According to the rules of the demon race, those who reach the Core Formation stage and awaken their intelligence, and can speak human language, are qualified to enter the demon city, own their own house like humans, and become town residents. However, if they want to move into the imperial city, they must complete the transformation into human form.

Lin Chen looked at the endless rows of houses and clicked his tongue in amazement.

The Transformation Stage is equivalent to the Nascent Soul Stage for human cultivators, and the entire Holy City is inhabited by demonic beasts that have completed their Transformation Stage. In other words, as far as the eye can see, all the houses in this seemingly endless area are inhabited by demonic beasts at or above the Transformation Stage.

"I've heard that the demon race has four saints, each managing a sect, and three of them have even joined the ranks of the Nine Venerables of the Wilderness. Are they all in this imperial city?"

Xiang Sheng replied, "The Four Saints Sect is not located within the imperial city, but it is not far from it. They bear the important responsibility of teaching all the demon races in the world, and there are too many unformed demon beasts coming and going every day, so it is not suitable for them to be located within the imperial city..."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Who are the current Four Saints of the Demon Clan? How powerful are they?" Xiang Sheng replied, "The Four Saints each belong to a clan. The current Four Saints are all the most outstanding and powerful people in their respective clans. As for how powerful they are, I don't know, but no one dares to provoke them."

Lin Chen pressed further, "Have they transcended the level of great demons?"

Xiang Sheng thought for a moment: "In terms of cultivation level, they may still be at the same level, but they all have ancient secret techniques for cultivation, and their combat power far exceeds that of great demons. It is said that only a very small number of the Four Saints can successfully cultivate such secret techniques."

Lin Chen nodded, not surprised at all, but rather feeling that this was more or less the case.

Although the cultivation realm above the Void Realm or Great Demon Realm is the Tribulation Transcending Realm, since there are already beings like Great Witches and Immortal Slaves, Lin Chen doesn't find it strange that there are some other strange cultivation methods.

"Is the Demon Emperor in the palace?"

"Yes."

"Where is the Demon Ancestor?"

"Also there."

"Where's the saint?"

"The Holy Maiden lives in the Holy Maiden's Mansion, which is on East Street and is a bit far from the Imperial Palace."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If Nan Wushuang lived in the palace, it would be troublesome. Without a doubt, there were countless experts in the palace.

"Take me to the Saintess's Palace."

"it is good!"

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Xiang Sheng led Lin Chen all the way to the Saintess's Mansion on East Street, where they were stopped by the guards at the gate.

He cupped his hands in greeting, introduced himself, and then, following Lin Chen's instructions, said, "I have just returned from Donghuang Prefecture, bringing news of the Human Emperor..."
