The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1244 Why did the Demon Emperor associate with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?
The Black Rhino Demon's face turned pale. He never imagined that he, as a great demon, would one day be threatened like this. After all, he was always the one threatening and abusing others. But today, he was like meat on a chopping board, completely helpless and powerless to resist, just like the human woman he had been holding in his arms before.

He was afraid.

He doesn't want to die.

With their level of skill, life would be very long; who would want to die?
Like those ten people just now, their bodies and souls vanished, disappearing into nothingness?
"What do you want to know?"

Lin Chen calmly asked, "More than half a year ago, I met with the Demon Emperor in person. He promised me to abandon the Thousand Cities Project and the plan to attack the human race. Why did he suddenly go back on his word more than half a year later and launch a large-scale military attack on the human race?"

"I am not sure as well."

The Black Rhinoceros Demon had barely finished answering when he saw Lin Chen's suddenly cold gaze, and he shuddered in fright. He quickly added, "I'm just an insignificant vanguard officer and don't know the inside story. However, I heard rumors that an immortal visited the Demon Emperor's Palace several months ago, and not long after, His Majesty ordered the army to gather and launch an attack..."

Fairy!

It was Wei Jiao who was behind it all!

Lin Chen's mind raced, and he quickly figured it out. It was likely that Wei Jiao had noticed something was wrong with his clone, sent people down to investigate again, discovered some clues, and then, unable to find him, simply coerced and lured the demon race into starting a war.

As the Human Emperor, Xuanji is kind-hearted. If the human race encounters war, she will definitely stand up and thus expose her whereabouts.

Lin Chen was startled. Could it be that the immortals forced the demon race to start a war not so that the demon race could unify the world, but so that they could force him to show himself?
If I show myself, wouldn't that be falling into their trap?

"Where is the Demon Emperor?"

"In the rear, roughly where the Central Divine Continent, Eastern Peng Continent, and Eastern Huang Continent meet, that is also the main base of the demon race's command."

"Who are the powerful figures around the Demon Emperor? Are there any immortals among them?"

"I don't know. Everyone is just talking about immortals, but there's no evidence to prove whether this matter is actually related to immortals."

Lin Chen then asked a few more questions, which the Black Rhino Demon answered cooperatively. He knew the answers to some questions and didn't know the answers to others. After all, he was just a vanguard officer. Although his strength was passable, he was nothing compared to the higher-ups of the demon race.

By the time Lin Chen finished questioning them, the entire vanguard team had completely fled, leaving no trace.

Seeing this, Lin Chen sneered, "I thought your demon army was so powerful and fearless, but it turns out you're nothing but a bunch of cowards who cling to life..."

The Black Rhinoceros Demon was overwhelmed with shame: "Your Excellency is the Human Emperor, so naturally everyone is afraid. I have told you everything you want to know. Can you spare my life?" Lin Chen coldly asked: "I haven't finished asking yet. Along your journey, all the citizens of the cities that resisted were refined by others. How did this happen?"

The Black Rhinoceros Demon replied, "That was done by the people of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect."

It really is the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect!

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "How did the people of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect end up with your demon race?"

The Black Rhinoceros Demon replied, "I don't know. Anyway, they were with us when the war started. When we encountered a city that dared to resist, we would break through the city's defenses, and then they would set up an array to refine everyone in the city into blood beads."

Are the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect and the Demon Clan joining forces?

Lin Chen squinted and asked, "An order issued by the Demon Emperor?"

"Correct!"

The Black Rhinoceros Demon replied, "When His Majesty issued this order before, many people were unwilling."

"Why not?"

The Black Rhinoceros Demon replied in a low voice, "Even if it's the same as slaughtering a city, everyone would rather turn these people into food, play with human women, and even make them reproduce for the demon race..."

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly turned colder. Due to limitations in their physical structure, some demon races have great natural talents, but their reproductive ability is not strong. However, the human race is different.

Their fertility and childbirth cycle are far superior to those of high-ranking demons, so these demons prefer to use human women to reproduce for them.

Their bloodline is very strong, so their offspring will inherit more of their father's bloodline, with the influence of human bloodline being negligible. There is even an advantage: although the children of transformed demons and human women have demon blood, their appearance is closer to that of humans, making them more suitable for cultivation.

When the demon race conquered human cities, human men were either reduced to slaves to work or killed and fed on, but the women often became slaves of the demon race, specifically responsible for procreation for them.

Lin Chen raised his eyes and looked at the horizon, his heart filled with doubt.

If the demon race is going to attack, then so be it. Why are they teaming up with the Wan Gui Sect and giving them so much authority?
They would rather let the demon army have no blood to eat and no female slaves to reproduce than allow them to refine the city.
