The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3025 My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died!

Magic Mountain City.

Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue, both shrouded in black hooded robes, tossed some spirit stones into a box at the city gate and entered the city unhurriedly under the watchful eyes of the soldiers.

The city was bustling with people, all of whom were demon cultivators of varying strengths.

Cultivators in the celestial realm are called immortal cultivators, and cultivators in the demon realm are called demon cultivators, but they are essentially no different.

Lin Chen and his companion weren't the only ones wearing hoodies to conceal their faces and figures on the street; as they walked, no one paid them any particular attention.

The two strolled around the city discreetly before finally entering the gates of the Mercenary Guild.

The Mercenary Association is one of the strongest associations among the demon race. Its founder was a quasi-saint, and now, it is said that the highest-level Round Table of the Mercenary Association has seven seats, all of whom are quasi-saints and are very powerful.

Mercenary guilds are found throughout the five major demonic realms, and even in many smaller demonic realms. The number of registered mercenary members is extremely large, and among them are many powerful individuals.

The Mercenary Guild is so well-informed about all the major events happening in the Demon Realm.

The main reason Lin Chen and his companion came here was to find out about the situation on the front lines of the war between immortals and demons.

The reason he came here was because the unlucky guy before him was also a mercenary. With his mercenary token, Lin Chen could openly inquire about the war situation at the front.

As a mercenary, isn't it normal to care about the war?

The Mercenary Association's hall was incredibly spacious, filled with at least several hundred mercenaries dressed in various styles, including many like Lin Chen and his companion, who wore hooded outfits.

The mercenary guild issues all sorts of missions, including murder, robbery, and the extermination of sects. Mercenaries who undertake such dangerous missions naturally do not want to reveal their identities.

Lin Chen and his companion sat down at a table and waved to a staff member from the association who was standing nearby.

"I'd like to inquire about the situation at the front lines. How do I do that?"

The staff member asked very professionally, "Sir, what specific information are you referring to?"

Lin Chen replied, "All of them. I have a friend who went into battle, and his fate is unknown."

The staff member replied, "Sir, if you just want to know the outcome of the battle on the front lines, I can tell you for free. If you want more detailed and specific information, you will have to pay."

Lin Chen nodded: "Let's hear what's free first, then I'll decide whether to pay or not."

The staff member replied, "The free information is that our demon army laid an ambush, severely damaging the immortal army, and then broke through the immortal defenses, destroyed the War God's Palace, and achieved a great victory."

Lin Chen's heart tightened. Had the War God's Mansion really been destroyed? Lin Chen pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Your information is too vague. Doesn't everyone already know this?"

The staff member smiled slightly: "That's why I said it's free. If you want more specific information, you'll have to pay."

Lin Chen pretended to hesitate for a few seconds before finally saying, "Okay, I'll pay!"

"Please follow me, gentlemen!"

Lin Chen and his companion were led into a room, where a staff member read out the pricing schedule.

The information isn't cheap; it costs 500,000 spirit stones.

Lin Chen had no shortage of spirit stones and readily paid.

After receiving 500,000 spirit stones from Lin Chen, the staff member turned and left. Soon after, he entered the room with a jade slip.

"You can read the message, but you cannot take it away. Also, this is a confidential transaction. You must not resell the message, otherwise you will be blacklisted by the Mercenary Association."

Lin Chen readily agreed: "Okay!"

The jade slip was handed to Lin Chen, who then used his divine sense to read the message within.

Lin Chen was startled after just one glance; the information recorded in the jade slip was actually quite detailed battle report information.

Lin Chen focused intently and quickly finished reading all the battle reports.

The anxiety that had been hanging over me for so long finally died.

The Celestial Realm has truly been defeated!

Lin Chen focused on examining the pivotal battle in the Immortal-Demon Passage, for which the jade slip contained quite detailed information.

The great formation set up by the human and demon race was called the Demon Flame Devouring Heaven Formation. The stronger the core controller of the formation, the stronger the power of the formation. This confirmed Lin Chen and the others' previous guess that the one controlling the formation was Cheng Tuo, the disciple of the Demon Emperor.

Although Cheng Tuo was considered weak among the saints, he could easily control the great formation and annihilate the army.

Under the Demon Flame Devouring Heaven Formation, the nearly 200,000 troops that had stormed into the Demon Realm suffered heavy casualties. If it weren't for the Immortal Emperor fighting outside the heavens, who directly and forcefully broke through the Demon Flame Devouring Heaven Formation with a star-space attack, these 200,000 troops would probably have been completely annihilated.

Even with the intervention of the Celestial Emperor, only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers managed to retreat safely back to the Celestial Realm. Almost all the Quasi-Saints who launched the attack were wounded, and more than a dozen even perished.

The quasi-saints of the Immortal Realm suffered a significant reduction in combat power and were no longer able to withstand the rampage of the demonic quasi-saints. In the end, their defenses collapsed, the War God's Palace was breached, and the battle lines crumbled!
