Chapter 3014: Chapter 3034: Five Saints of the Demon World
Lin Chen was not afraid of Bai Mani’s ruthlessness, her readiness to turn hostile without a second thought, since such a person was exactly what he needed.
If Bai Mani was solely concerned with the interests of the Demon Race and plotted how to ensnare the two of them, then keeping her would be of no use to Lin Chen. It would be safer to kill her outright.
The rciless Bai Mani, in order to save her own life, did not hesitate to kill her own subordinates. To Lin Chen, she was undoubtedly a fine blade.
“Let’s go, to the Black Sky Demon Domain.”
Lin Chen, his hood drawn up to shroud his figure, set out again with Bai Mani, while Chu Jiaxue stayed behind in the Linglong Tower.
With Bai Mani providing cover, Lin Chen no longer had to worry about being suspected.
The two made their way and arrived at Feixue City.
“Let’s gather so recent battle reports from the front lines.”
Lin Chen and Bai Mani entered Feixue City together, without the slightest trace of fear.
Although Feixue City was filled with powerhouses, it was unlikely for a Quasi-Saint to be stationed there.
Lin Chen feared nothing.
If pressed, Lin Chen could release three teams, unleash a hundred Great Demons, and call upon two Quasi-Saints, which would be enough to slaughter the entire city with terrifying force!
Of course, these were asures he would resort to only when absolutely necessary, for if he drew attention, that would spell big trouble.
One or two Quasi-Saints might not be able to handle him, but what about a Saint?
For instance, the Demon Race disciple Cheng Tuo?
Even if Cheng Tuo was severely injured, greatly weakened, and utterly useless, that was only in comparison to other Saints. When facing Lin Chen and his comrades, he was a terrifying being capable of reducing them to flying ashes in the blink of an eye.
A few fledgling mbers of the Human Clan, in the eyes of the Demon Race’s senior managent, were nothing more than scurrying mice, not worth their personal intervention. But if Lin Chen revealed Quasi-Saint power and went on to massacre a city, it might prompt Cheng Tuo to personally deal with him.
Now, Lin Chen had a vague idea in his mind, which was to cooperate with the Great Wilderness Palace and beco a part of it!
As long as Lin Chen bore the na of the Great Wilderness Palace mber, with the Demon Emperor’s oath in place, even Cheng Tuo would not be able to act against them!
Bai Mani did not pull any tricks and went with Lin Chen to the rcenary Association in Feixue City, revealing her identity in accordance with rules.
“What information do you wish to know? I can arrange for soone to gather it all…”
Lin Chen thought for a mont, “Information about the Great Wilderness Saint and the Great Wilderness Palace, the current front-line intelligence, data on the Saints and Quasi-Saints in the entire Demon World, as well as information on the prominent major forces… Yes, that’s it for now.”
“Alright, I’ll get on it right away.”
Soon, all the information was laid out before Lin Chen, who sat down quietly in a chair, beginning to sift through the data one piece at a ti.
Bai Mani sat in the chair beside him, staring at Lin Chen’s handso and composed face, with waves of surprise in her heart.
Though they had not talked much on their journey, Bai Mani could sense an extraordinary confidence and calm from Lin Chen.
He was with her as if he had no worries at all, following her so nonchalantly.
Wasn’t he worried that she might betray him?
Wasn’t he afraid that she, fearing neither life nor death, would uphold the Demon Race’s interests?
Had he seen through her heart?
Even though he wasn’t worried about her betraying and scheming against him, this was after all the Demon World. How could he walk through it as leisurely as if he were in his own ho?
She couldn’t see through him.
Lin Chen’s heart and mind remained imrsed in the materials as he suddenly spoke up, “What are you pondering about?”
Startled, Bai Mani quickly replied with an air of resignation, “I’m pondering about you.”
Although Lin Chen controlled Bai Mani’s life and death, he didn’t require her to address him as Master, so their way of talking to each other was quite casual.
Lin Chen humd in response, not surprised, for why wouldn’t she think hard for the sake of her own life?
“Have you figured it out yet?”
Bai Mani helplessly said, “Right now, apart from knowing you’re a man, beyond that, I don’t even know what your na is or where you co from. How could I figure you out?”
Lin Chen looked up at Bai Mani, “I co from the Immortal Realm, just an ordinary soldier. What use would knowing my na be to you?”
Bai Mani blinked, “At the very least, I’d know how to address you.”
Lin Chen didn’t answer, and Bai Mani felt a faint sense of disappointnt. However, she also felt that Lin Chen was right; did it make any difference to know the na of an ordinary Immortal Realm soldier?
“Lin Chen.”
Lin Chen’s voice suddenly reached Bai Mani’s ears. She looked up in astonishnt, only to see Lin Chen still quietly reading the materials, not looking at her, but she was sure that it was indeed Lin Chen who had spoken.
Bai Mani searched through her mind and truly found no information related to the na Lin Chen.
An ordinary soldier with no relevant information, isn’t that normal?
Forget an ordinary soldier, even if one were a squad leader, or a team leader within an army, it would be unlikely for there to be any information available. It might be possible if he were an Army Commander.
Within, Lin Chen laughed to himself. As far as the two worlds of the Immortal Realm and Demon World were concerned, even with the rcenary Association’s extensive network, they wouldn’t be able to know about a small Army Team Leader like himself.
Ti passed, and Lin Chen finished reviewing all the materials, letting out a long sigh.
The Demon World was indeed strong!
There were five Saints alone, with at least a hundred Quasi-Saints, and countless Demon Lords below them.
The five great Saints were the Demon Emperor Shi Tian, the Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo, the Great Wilderness Saint, the Blood Saint, and the Shadow Saint. Naturally, the strongest among them was the Demon Emperor who commanded the Demon World. It was said that he had fought against the Great Wilderness Saint, the Blood Saint, and the Shadow Saint, never losing a battle, rightfully the master of the Demon World.
No need to ntion the Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo, he was a genius disciple carefully cultivated by the Demon Emperor itself. Unfortunately, he fell short at the last hurdle. Although he entered the Saint Realm, in terms of strength, he was the weakest of the five Saints, not on the sa level as the other four.
Since his defeat to the Demon Emperor, the Great Wilderness Saint has remained in closed-door cultivation, and since then, no outsider has seen him. The situations with the Blood Saint and Shadow Saint were similarly close; although they appeared sporadically throughout the long course of history, they now seem more like spectators or passersby to the Demon World.
Lin Chen contemplated in secret that the Demon Emperor had beco the master of the Demon World obviously through his own strength, having beaten up all his competitors. Considering the Great Wilderness Saint was forced into seclusion after being defeated by him, it seed unlikely that he would help the Demon Emperor.
The Shadow Saint and Blood Saint had also lost to the Demon Emperor, but their relationship with him was unclear. Judging from the current rhythm, they probably wouldn’t take action. For the ti being, the Immortal Realm only needed to face the Demon Emperor and his disciple.
Given the Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo’s strength, if a Saint from the Immortal Realm stepped forward, they could suppress Cheng Tuo. Unfortunately, no one intervened.
Lin Chen felt a sense of regret. As a mber of the Immortal Realm, he had now cleared up the situation in the Demon World, but he couldn’t even ascertain how many Saints the Immortal Realm had.
Lin Chen thought differently; isn’t it said that your enemy knows you best?
Having fought twenty-seven major and minor battles, wouldn’t it be improbable that the Demon World hadn’t collected intelligence on the Immortal Realm?
Lin Chen looked up, “I want all the information you’ve gathered regarding the Saints and Quasi-Saints of the Immortal Realm…”
