CHAPTER 3058: CHAPTER 3078: YOU MAY NOT BE TOLERATED BY THE DEMON RACE, BUT I CAN GIVE YOU FREEDOM!
Dawn Camp.
"Bai Manmei, come with me on a mission."
Faced with Lin Chen’s summons, Bai Manmei’s eyes shone, and she quickly agreed, "Yes!"
She had been on tenterhooks these days, fearing that once Lin Chen had a stable foothold in the Great Wilderness Palace, he would find her worthless and casually dispose of her.
Although her strength was not low, she had seen that there were many powerhouses in the Dawn Camp, many stronger than her, and even more of similar strength. Her value could be said to have decreased repeatedly.
Now that Lin Chen had returned and called for her to go on a mission, she was overjoyed.
She still had value!
Her life was now in Lin Chen’s hands, and she knew many of Lin Chen’s secrets; under any circumstances, Lin Chen would never let her leave alive. If she wanted to live, there was only one way.
To faithfully serve Lin Chen as his subordinate!
During the time Lin Chen was absent, she gradually became familiar with the people of the Dawn Camp and learned more about Lin Chen, which made her admire him.
Putting aside the matter of standing, Lin Chen was a very capable and charismatic person, who, alone, managed to get the support of so many Major Forces in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, willingly becoming his subordinates.
She finally understood why Dawn Camp was so strong. They had directly recruited top figures from several major Immortal Domains. How could they not be strong?
She had been pondering how to prove her worth to Lin Chen, and now the opportunity had finally come.
She wasn’t afraid of missions or even dangerous tasks; what she feared most was being of no use to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen turned to look at the senior management of Dawn Camp, "I’m going to do a task for the Palace lord, bring another twenty Peak Great Luo Xian with me."
With two Quasi-Saints by Lin Chen’s side and another twenty Peak Great Luo Xian, it was purely a precaution.
If there was danger and a fight broke out, the more experts, the better!
Moreover, Lin Chen had made certain estimates; Demon Saint Valley was not easy to enter, after all, it was Forbidden Land. It was not just any member of the Human Clan or even the Demon Race who had the qualifications to go there.
It might be necessary to force entry with physical power, and in that case, having more people would be somewhat more straightforward.
Though Quasi-Saints were strong, they were not omnipotent.
The people naturally had no objections and immediately selected twenty of the strongest Peak Great Luo to join the team.
Chu Jiaxue, a Half-step Quasi-Saint, was naturally among them. Master Floating Cloud also wanted to go but was ordered by Lin Chen to stay behind. As Lin Chen’s Master and one of the strongest, he was naturally the most suitable choice.
Shangguan Wenyin, Shu Zi Feng, and others also wanted to go but did not meet the strength criteria and had to stay behind reluctantly.
After resting for one night, the group left the Great Wilderness Palace.
"We’re going to the Demon God Temple."
Lin Chen stared at Bai Manmei, "Do you have any way?"
Bai Manmei turned two shades paler shocked by Lin Chen’s words, "Inside the Demon God Temple?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "Close enough."
Bai Manmei internally groaned, was this extreme difficulty right from the start?
Was Heaven truly not willing to let her live?
Lin Chen stared at Bai Manmei, "If this mission is successful, I can grant you your freedom. I keep my word, of course. Though I suppose by then, the Demon Race might not be able to accommodate you anymore."
Bai Manmei’s face lit up with surprise upon hearing this.
Although she didn’t yet know what Lin Chen was planning to do at the Demon God Temple, based on her understanding of him, they were certainly not going there to die; they must have seen an opportunity for success before deciding to proceed.
If successful, could she regain her freedom?
That would be wonderful!
As for not being accepted by the Demon Race?
She didn’t believe that aligning herself with Lin Chen and their operation, and then being exposed, the Demon Race would still tolerate her—by then, she would be a traitor worthy of death!
But what of it?
She needed to live!
Bai Manmei’s mind raced, "If it’s just about entering the Demon God Temple, my identity as an Inspector of the Mercenary Association might be of help. After all, our Mercenary Association is one of the top guilds in the Demon World, and four of the seven Quasi-Saints from our Round Table Meeting participated in the Immortal Demon War."
Lin Chen nodded. He had already thought of this when he had asked Bai Manmei to join them.
"So, I need your full and undivided help. I also know that you might be treated as a traitor after this, but in return, I will give you your freedom. You might not be able to stay among the Demon Race, but you can live a peaceful life in the Great Wilderness Palace."
"This operation is being carried out on behalf of the Palace lord of the Great Wilderness Palace. If we succeed, you would also be counted as one of the contributors. For the Great Wilderness Palace, it would serve as your proof of loyalty, and naturally, your treatment in the future will not be poor."
Bai Manmei’s eyes sparkled, and she replied without hesitation, "I will give it my all. You know, I don’t want to die."
It might be assumed by the twenty Peak Great Luo that they were Lin Chen’s Hidden Card, but Bai Manmei knew that the real trump card Lin Chen had was the hidden Quasi-Saint!
Even if she risked her life and reported Lin Chen at the crucial moment, what then?
Would Lin Chen and his people be instantly stopped and executed?
With as many tricks up his sleeve as Lin Chen had, he was able to lead all his subordinates unscathed through the Devil Flame Swallowing Heaven Formation. Now with just twenty Peak Great Luo focused on escaping, who could stop them?
Wouldn’t her own death be in vain?
Moreover, why should she die for nothing?
Lin Chen nodded, "I trust you, which is why I’m asking for your help. As long as we succeed, you have my word that I will fulfill my promise. If you don’t believe me..."
"I believe you!"
Bai Manmei smiled sweetly, "I’ve heard many things about you. You always keep your promises, and I believe that!"
"Then let’s go, we will discuss more when we reach the Demon God Temple."
Lin Chen didn’t rush to disclose the objective of the mission. Although he trusted Bai Manmei, he still needed to be cautious. What if something unexpected happened along the way?
"Okay!"
Bai Manmei agreed briskly, her eyes already shining with anticipation, "Let’s do it like before, you hooded and masked, and I will lead you."
Lin Chen consented, "That works, but when we reach the big cities, try to gather detailed frontline battle reports, the more detailed, the better."
"Yes!"
Bai Manmei’s value was now apparent. The top tier of the entire Mercenary Association consisted of the seven seats of the Round Table Meeting, held by seven Quasi-Saints. Beneath the Round Table Meeting was the Inspector Department, with many Inspectors, each leading a small team.
The authority of an Inspector was extremely high. Having her as the Inspector of the Mercenary Association meant that traveling through the entire Demon World would not pose any problem. As a top-tier society, the gathering and dissemination of various news happened at top speed and range. With Bai Manmei’s identity, obtaining information about the frontline situation would be very convenient.
Leaving the Great Wilderness Palace, the two quickly vanished from the expansive land of the Demon World, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, leaving no trace.
