The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3022 Continue the fight? Seek refuge and save your life?
These human prisoners were all wounded to varying degrees, and they looked quite pitiful.

They wore shackles covered in runes on their hands and feet, and double-ringed shackles on their heads, one ring on their forehead and the other around their neck, the two rings connected. If the prisoner made any unusual movement, the guards could activate the runes on the shackles and instantly kill the prisoner.

The line was very long, and Lin Chen waited for a long time before it finally came to an end.

Lin Chen roughly estimated that there were at least three thousand prisoners.

Lin Chen's mood grew heavier. If the front lines hadn't collapsed, there would never have been so many prisoners.

Has the War God's Palace fallen?

The demons have invaded the Crimson Immortal Realm, advancing unimpeded and invading the Immortal World.
That's really bad news.

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of the people who stayed behind at Haoran Sect, but he wasn't too worried. After all, Haoran Sect was not close to the front line. If the front line really collapsed, they would definitely receive the news and retreat in time.

Lin Chen didn't linger and quietly returned.

……

When Lin Chen appeared in the Seven Wonders Hall, almost everyone was sitting cross-legged, practicing their internal energy.

"metropolitan!"

A cry of alarm startled everyone awake.

Everyone opened their eyes simultaneously, their gazes falling on Lin Chen, their expressions suddenly becoming excited.

"team leader!"

"metropolitan!"

Lin Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before settling on Chen Shuihe and the others: "What is the situation regarding casualties?"

Chen Shuihe quickly replied, "Twelve were killed in battle, forty-six were seriously wounded, and two hundred and thirty were lightly wounded. After a month of recuperation, the lightly wounded have basically recovered, and most of the seriously wounded are in better condition and their lives are no longer in danger."

Lin Chen nodded. In such a fierce clash, only twelve out of fifteen hundred people died. This casualty situation was already very good. It was all thanks to the previous grouping and training. The weaker ones were basically protected by the Great Luo Immortals. Even if they were injured, they would not die.

Chu Jiaxue stepped forward and asked softly, "What's the situation outside?"

She knew her husband well; now that he had shown himself in, he must have figured out what was going on outside.

Everyone pricked up their ears, listening intently, afraid of missing any important news.

Lin Chen said with a solemn expression, "The array that covered tens of thousands of miles outside has disappeared. The entire land is now barren and scorched black. There is a demon camp at the entrance of the Immortal-Demon Passage, which is shrouded by a barrier."

“I observed outside the demon camp for a day. One after another, demon teams of a thousand or several thousand people gathered into the camp. They were reorganized and then formed into an army, entering the immortal realm through the immortal-demon passage.”

"Within a single day, approximately 50,000 demons entered the Immortal Realm. Just as I was about to leave, I saw demons escorting about 4,000 human cultivator prisoners through the Immortal-Demon Passage back to the demon camp..."

Everyone's expression changed drastically, their eyes filled with fear.

Everyone knew what the appearance of such a large number of human prisoners meant. "The defenses have been breached?"

"The War God's Palace has fallen?"

"Have we lost?"

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "That's the situation I've seen. Although I really want to grab someone to ask about the battle situation at the front, I don't dare to do it. There must be powerful figures in the Demon Clan's camp. If I'm not careful, I'll get burned."

"The entrance to the Immortal-Demon Passage has been occupied by the Demon Army. With just over a thousand of us, we have no chance of breaking through the defenses and returning to the Immortal Realm. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the other end of the Immortal Realm Passage has probably already fallen. Even if we manage to get through, it won't be safe. We might be surrounded and intercepted from both sides."

Fu Yunzi's expression was grave: "So, even if the Immortal-Demon Passage is open, we still can't go back and can only continue to venture deeper into the Demon Realm?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, this area is not safe. There are many demon army troops coming and going. We can be discovered if we are not careful. Only by staying away can we be truly safe."

After a pause, Lin Chen's gaze swept over everyone: "Even if the Immortal Realm loses this battle, and our First and Second Legions have been severely damaged, and there are still so many other legions and reserve legions, the Demon Race cannot win in one battle. Judging from the fact that the Demon Race is still sending reinforcements, I think the battle is definitely still ongoing."

"It's not unheard of for the defenses to collapse and the War God's Mansion to fall during the twenty-seven wars between immortals and demons. Moreover, there must have been contingency plans in place for the failure of this attack before the war even started, so there's no need for everyone to worry too much."

"The matters of the Crimson Immortal Realm are naturally for the Palace Master to consider. Even if we wanted to help, we would be powerless to do so. We should focus on our own affairs. Now we need to reach a consensus, which is our future goal."

"Should we, these 1,500 people, find a secluded and safe place to cultivate in seclusion and await an outcome or opportunity? Or should we continue fighting and contribute our strength to this war?"

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation.

Fifteen hundred people is not a small number, and there are many powerful individuals among them, making their overall combat strength very strong. However, they are currently in the Demon Realm, facing the entire Demon Race. Once exposed, they will be wanted and hunted down by the entire Demon Race!

At that time, the beings that might come to hunt us down are quasi-saints of the demon race, or even more powerful beings. Can we stop them?

"If we, with only 1,500 people, were to fight against the entire Demon Clan, wouldn't that be like throwing an egg against a rock? Why don't we find a place to recuperate and find an opportunity to return to the Immortal Realm? They can't keep blocking the Immortal-Demon passage like this forever, can they?"

"The defenses have collapsed, the War God's Palace has fallen, are we just going to do nothing and become deserters? Why don't we fight them to the death! We can fight and run at the same time, which will at least draw their attention and do our part in this war!"

"Isn't that just throwing your life away for nothing?"

"Isn't there the Seven Wonders Palace? Let's find our target, unleash our full power, and then disappear into the Seven Wonders Palace. They won't be able to find us. Then we'll move to another location and do it again..."

"I think we can put all that aside for now. The most urgent thing is to figure out our environment and the situation of the demons, and then make a decision based on the specific circumstances."

"I think so too. It's not a good idea to decide to fight or run away when you know nothing about it."

Many team members discussed the matter and expressed their opinions.

Lin Chen's gaze swept over the group of high-ranking officers in the third team: "Speak your mind, don't hold back. Fighting or fleeing, there's nothing wrong with either. We have no military orders or missions right now, so we can act freely. As long as our own people approve, anything goes."

Everyone expressed their opinions, which were similar to those of the disciples: fight, flee, or gather intelligence first.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and finally made a decision: "Since we can't agree on anything for now, let's retreat to a safe place, gather intelligence, and then make a decision."
