Chapter 3005: Chapter 3025: The Heart Hanging Finally Died!
Demon Mountain City.
Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue were both cloaked in black hooded robes, tossing so Spirit Stones into the box at the city gate, entering the city under the watchful eyes of the soldiers without any haste.
The city was bustling with people, vibrantly alive, all of them Demon Cultivators of varying strengths.
Cultivators in the Immortal Realm are called Cultivators, while those in the Demon World are known as Demon Cultivators, but essentially, there is no difference.
On the street, there were more than just Lin Chen and his companion disguised with hooded robes; as they walked on, no one gave them any specially attentive glances.
The two inconspicuously took a stroll around the city, and eventually entered the gates of the rcenary Association.
The rcenary Association is one of the strongest among the many associations of the Demon Race. Its founder was a Quasi-Saint. It has been said that now, the highest echelon of the round table eting of the rcenary Association holds seven seats, each belonging to a Quasi-Saint with formidable strength.
The rcenary Association is widespread across the Five Great Demon Domains and even many mid-sized and smaller Demon Domains. The number of registered rcenary mbers is extrely large, including many powerhouses.
Such an extensive reach enables the rcenary Association to be well-inford of the major events occurring throughout the Demon World.
Lin Chen’s main purpose here was to inquire about the situation on the frontline of the great war between Immortals and Demons.
The reason he ca here was that the unlucky ghost he encountered earlier was also a rcenary; using his rcenary Token, Lin Chen could boldly inquire about the frontline battle situation.
As a rcenary, isn’t it normal to be concerned about the battles?
The hall of the rcenary Association was incredibly spacious, gathering at least a few hundred rcenaries dressed in various styles, including many cloaked like Lin Chen and his companion.
The tasks issued by the rcenary Association are bizarre and varied, including assassination, plundering, and annihilating sects. Naturally, rcenaries performing such dangerous tasks would prefer not to reveal their identities.
Lin Chen and his companion sat down at a table, waving over a staff mber standing nearby.
“I would like to inquire about the situation on the frontline. How should I proceed?”
The staff mber asked professionally, “Sir, about which specific aspect of information are you inquiring?”
Lin Chen answered, “Everything, I have a friend who joined the war, and now I have no news of whether he is alive or dead.”
The staff mber responded, “Sir, if you only want to know about the outco on the frontline, I can tell you that for free. However, if you want more detailed specific information, you’ll need to pay.”
Lin Chen nodded, “Let’s hear what you have for free first, then I’ll decide whether to pay or not.”
The staff mber replied, “The free news is that our Demon Army set up an ambush, heavily damaging the Immortal Army and subsequently breaking through their defenses in one fell swoop, capturing the War God Mansion, achieving a huge victory.”
Lin Chen’s heart tightened. Was the War God Mansion truly breached?
Dissatisfied, Lin Chen said, “That news is too vague; doesn’t everyone know this already?”
The staff mber smiled slightly, “That’s why it’s free. If you want more specific news, you’ll have to pay.”
Pretending to hesitate for a few seconds, Lin Chen finally spoke, “Alright, I’ll pay!”
“Please follow ,” the staff mber said.
Lin Chen and his companion were led into a room where the staff mber recited the fee schedule.
The information was not cheap, costing 500,000 Spirit Stones.
Lin Chen was not in short supply of Spirit Stones, and he promptly paid.
Once the staff mber received the 500,000 Spirit Stones from Lin Chen, he turned and left, soon returning with a Jade Slip in hand.
“You may read the information, but you cannot take it with you. Moreover, this transaction is confidential. You may not resell the information, or else you will be blacklisted by the rcenary Association.”
Lin Chen readily agreed, “Okay!”
The Jade Slip was handed to Lin Chen, and he delved into it with his Divine Sense, beginning to read the information within.
At just a glance, Lin Chen was startled; the information recorded in the Jade Slip was quite detailed regarding the battle report.
Lin Chen read attentively, quickly finishing all the battle reports.
The anxiety he had been carrying finally settled.
The Immortal Realm had indeed lost!
Lin Chen focused particularly on the pivot battle through the Immortal Demon Channel. The information in the Jade Slip regarding this battle was also quite thorough.
The large Array nad Devil Fla Swallowing Heaven Formation, set by the Human Demon Clan, had as its core the Array Core. Its power increased with the strength of the controller, confirming what Lin Chen and others had previously speculated. The controller of the Array was Cheng Tuo, a disciple of the Demon Emperor.
Although among the Saints Cheng Tuo was considered weak, he easily annihilated large armies by controlling the Array.
Under the Devil Fla Swallowing Heaven Formation, nearly 200,000 troops who rushed into the Demon World suffered heavy casualties from the demonic flas. If it had not been for the Immortal Emperor, who was fighting extraterrestrially, striking a forceful blow through the stars that directly broke open the Devil Fla Swallowing Heaven Formation, these 200,000 troops would likely have been completely annihilated.
Even with the Immortal Emperor’s intervention, only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers safely returned to the Immortal Realm. All the assailants, practically saints, were injured, and more than a dozen even perished.
The combat power of the Immortal Realm Quasi-Saints was severely reduced, no longer able to withstand the opportunistic charges of the Demon Race Quasi-Saints. Eventually, their defenses collapsed, the War God Mansion was breached, and the battle line was completely broken!
