After watching the demon army leave, Long Haochen and his companions resumed their journey, traversing mountains and ridges, heading towards the scene. With so many demon powerhouses dead, it would be good to get some demon crystals. Mining wasn’t just something demons could do.

Hearing the sounds was one thing, but seeing the real thing was another. When Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, Cai’er, and Chen Ying’er saw the collapsed mountain, they were all shocked by the scene before them. In their hearts, they all vaguely wondered what the scene would be like if they faced a suddenly collapsed mountain!

“Boss, what do we do?” Sima Xian asked Long Haochen.

Long Haochen said, “Let’s start digging, see how many demon crystals we can find. Any kind of demon crystal is precious, bring them back for Lin Xin to make medicine.”

“Okay, okay.” Lin Xin immediately agreed with a smile. During this trip to the demon realm, the team’s God of Wealth had been smiling non-stop. The good things they brought back were of great value and use. Chen Ying’er had three hundred demon crystals of sixth order or higher. Enough for McDull to squander.

The corpses of various demons and magical beasts, especially those of the giant python and the Serpent Demon God Andromalius, were all collected by Lin Xin. Lin Xin deeply felt that his demon medicine refining ability would greatly improve this time, and truly reaching the master level was only a matter of time. After all, which demon pharmacist could have so many materials to splurge on?

Long Haochen chose to stay here to clean up the battlefield for a reason. The commotion here was so great that the Holy Temple Alliance garrison on the other side of the Demon Restraining Mountain Range couldn’t help but notice. Moreover, Han Yu’s message should have been delivered. He believed that an army would come to meet them soon. It was obviously better to tell them the actual situation and leave together after joining up with these armies than to rush over rashly. Besides, there were so many high-level demon corpses and demon crystals here. It would be a waste not to take them; these were their spoils of war.

The glorious task of mining naturally belonged to Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan. Even if Sima Xian’s Light Strength Pill didn’t use any additional skills, its terrifying weight and crushing, blasting skills made him the number one main force in mining.

The group followed the path that the Demon King Saffin had previously used to mine, blasting their way inward. One by one, demon crystals fell into Lin Xin’s pocket. However, this guy was still a little dissatisfied because the demon corpses were too tragic and difficult to use. After all, severely damaged corpses were difficult to preserve even in storage spiritual artifacts.

Their mining work didn’t last too long before reinforcements arrived.

Led by Han Yu, an elite alliance force that shocked Long Haochen and the others quietly arrived.

The number of this elite alliance force was much smaller than expected, only about three hundred. However, Long Haochen’s perception only felt a slight sensation when they approached within two hundred meters, and this sensation came from Han Yu.

Masked assassins in gray suits quietly appeared and quickly surrounded Long Haochen and the others. These assassins didn’t have any sharp aura. On the contrary, the group couldn’t feel any aura from them at all.

A total of three hundred people, when they silently surrounded the cave that Long Haochen and the others were digging, they were like three hundred balls of air condensed.

Long Haochen and the others slowly walked out of the cave, moving very slowly, not deliberately, but out of necessity. Because in their eyes, these gray-clad assassins were calm, but it seemed that as long as their nerves were slightly touched, these three hundred gray-clad assassins would turn into a torrent of death and swallow them.

“Boss.” Han Yu saw Long Haochen and the others walking out of the excavated cave and shouted in surprise. He also didn’t know what had happened. Why was there a mountain collapsed here? Why were Long Haochen and the others here? Where had the enemies gone? At this time, his heart was full of questions.

Han Yu looked a little tired, traveling day and night, which exhausted him physically and mentally.

Han Yu’s shout of “Boss” caused the hostility on the gray-clad assassins to quietly recede, but they were still like air, without any movement. Only one assassin with a thin figure and slightly darker suit came to Han Yu’s side.

Long Haochen stepped forward and sincerely said to Han Yu, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Han Yu hurriedly said, “It’s okay, boss, where are the enemies? Where are those demons?” He was really anxious at this time. He brought so many assassin temple powerhouses, but when they arrived, the demons were gone. Wasn’t this a false alarm? Their team couldn’t afford this responsibility!

Long Haochen said, “The demons have retreated. Look.” As he spoke, he pointed to the mountain behind him.

Han Yu was stunned. The assassin beside him finally changed his expression from calm to surprise. An old voice rang out, “Young man, you wouldn’t tell me that you knocked down this mountain and that the elite demon force was all crushed underneath, would you? Judging from the images you brought back, that’s likely one of the demon race’s most elite legions, the Divine Emperor Second Legion.”

Long Haochen shook his head and said, “Not all of them, only a part. Most of the bear demons, hell demons, and a small number of greater demons and mad demons were crushed underneath. I estimate the demons lost close to a third of their forces. Then they retreated. The demon corpses are still under the mountain. We excavated some. You can go in and take a look.”

His perception was so keen. The assassin in front of him was undoubtedly an eighth-order Emperor Assassin.

Next, these assassins naturally took over all the work here. What shocked Long Haochen was that among the three hundred assassins who appeared here, there were more than twenty eighth-order assassins, and the rest were all seventh-order King Assassins. This was the most elite strength of the Assassin Temple, the Xia Yin Hall.

The Xia Yin Hall has a total of thirty-six Xia Yin-level assassins, as well as a group of Xia-level assassins. This time, it was obviously the best of the best.
Soon, information from all sources converged, confirming what Long Haochen and his team had said. The Shadow Assassin who had spoken with Long Haochen before now looked at him with a completely different expression.

“Young Demon Hunt Squad Leader, you are heroes of the Alliance, and heroes of our Exorcist Pass. On behalf of the million soldiers and civilians of Exorcist Pass, I thank you.” As he spoke, he respectfully gave Long Haochen an assassin’s salute.

Long Haochen quickly returned the gesture. “Respected Shadow Assassin, it is our duty.”

The Shadow Assassin smiled slightly. “I am Shadow Four, and I am in command of this operation. I originally thought it would be a tough battle, but it turned out to be just a cleanup job. I will report your achievements truthfully. However, we need to get back to Exorcist Pass as soon as possible. Oh, right, I haven’t had a chance to ask your name.”

Long Haochen said, “I am Long Haochen, leader of the Rank-64 Demon Hunt Squad.”

“Rank-64?” Shadow Four was shocked. A Rank-64 Demon Hunt Squad possessing an Earth-attribute Forbidden Spell Scroll? That kind of thing would cost even Demon Hunt Squads over a million merit points, and could a Rank-64 Demon Hunter even activate such a scroll?

However, his shock was still to come, as he suddenly realized the name Long Haochen had spoken.

“You… you’re Long Haochen?” This time, even the composed Shadow Assassin’s voice changed slightly.

Long Haochen nodded in confusion. “Yes! Have you heard of me?” In his mind, it was likely because of his relationship with Caier that this Shadow Four had heard of him. But why was he so surprised?

“Of course, of course I’ve heard of you, I’ve heard all about you! So it’s you, no wonder, no wonder…”

Listening to his words, Long Haochen was completely bewildered. Before he could ask, Shadow Four became somewhat impatient. “No, you need to come with me quickly. All of you. We’ll fly back to Exorcist Pass immediately.”

“Senior, what is…” Long Haochen looked at him in confusion, as did the others. This Shadow Four was acting a little too excited and abnormal.

Shadow Four said sternly, “Just come with me first, I’ll explain on the way. You’ve finally returned.”

Next, he ordered the other assassins to return to the Alliance immediately, while he took Long Haochen and his team of seven and flew towards Exorcist Pass.

“Senior, can you tell me what’s happening now?” Flying in the air, Long Haochen asked Shadow Four again.

Seeing the four spirit wings on Long Haochen’s back, Shadow Four was surprised again. This young man was truly blessed! No wonder… “The Demon army is besieging the city. Since you’re coming from that side, you should know that, right?” Shadow Four said.

Long Haochen nodded. “We saw it. This time the Demons are coming with great force, gathering a considerable number of troops, so we detoured this way, crossing the mountains to return. We happened to encounter the Second Army Corps of the Demon God Emperor.”

Shadow Four said, “The same situation is not only happening at Exorcist Pass, but at every important fortress of the Alliance. The Demon race has mobilized most of its army, launching a Holy War against the Alliance.”

“Ah?” Long Haochen had guessed the intensity of this war, but he hadn’t expected it to be so serious.

A Holy War meant a terrifying war to the death. It was a battle to the bitter end between two races. But the Demon race hadn’t launched such a war for at least two thousand years! Were they crazy?

Shadow Four gave Long Haochen a deep look. “Do you know why this Holy War is happening?”

Long Haochen shook his head. How could he guess?

Shadow Four said, “The Demons came very suddenly. About half a month ago, Demon armies began to gather at the borders of various fortresses, but they surrounded the fortresses without attacking. The Alliance quickly reacted, mobilizing inland troops, sending out all reserve forces, and recruiting a large number of civilians to prepare for the crisis. The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu sent a Holy War Proclamation, making a demand. If we could fulfill this demand, he would immediately withdraw his troops. Otherwise, he would launch this Holy War, involving millions of troops and spreading across the entire border.”

“What demand did he make?” The sudden outbreak of the Demon race not only puzzled Long Haochen, but also filled him with shock and a desire to know.

Shadow Four took a deep breath before saying, one word at a time, “Because of you.”

“What? Me? Are you… are you sure?” When Long Haochen heard this answer, his first feeling was disbelief, and his second feeling was still disbelief… How could this be possible? Even if he escaped from Aba and caused some trouble for the Demons, every Demon Hunt Squad was doing that! Did the Demon God Emperor need to make such a big deal of launching such a Holy War because of him?

Shadow Four said with a bitter smile, “No one understands why the Demon God Emperor is doing this. But his reason is just that. To have the Alliance hand you over, or else, he will launch this Holy War. He only has this one demand.”

Not only did Long Haochen’s face turn strange, but so did his companions. A Holy War concerning the life and death of the Demon race and humanity was actually caused by Long Haochen. This reason was simply too incomprehensible.

Sima Xian beside him couldn’t help but say, “Could it be because the Demon God Emperor knew that we destroyed a Demon God Pillar? But the news shouldn’t travel that fast. Even if he knew, he shouldn’t have reacted so long in advance!”

“You… what did you say? You destroyed a Demon God Pillar?” Shadow Four felt his heart’s ability to withstand shocks was decreasing. He felt that his worldview was beginning to have problems. Such a Rank-64 Demon Hunt Squad was able to destroy a Demon God Pillar? How could that be possible? How could that be possible?
Long Haochen was completely bewildered at this point and immediately refuted Sima Xian’s statement, saying, “It couldn’t be because of this. To launch a holy war, even if it’s rushed, the demons would need a month. We were still in Dayake City then. Is the Demon God Emperor crazy?”

At this moment, his heart was a little chaotic. He didn’t understand why the Demon God Emperor was doing this. He didn’t understand how he had inexplicably become the Demon God Emperor’s target, and at the cost of a holy war.

Cai’er suddenly spoke, “Did the alliance agree to the Demon God Emperor’s conditions?” After her amnesia, she had been acting clueless, but she suddenly asked such a crucial question.

The others immediately became alert. Yes! Did the alliance agree to the Demon God Emperor’s conditions? After all, no matter how talented Long Haochen was, he was only one person. But the demons launching such a holy war would lead to widespread suffering! It was not impossible for the alliance to abandon Long Haochen. It was just that Long Haochen hadn’t returned before, so they were still in a standoff with the demons.

If that was the case, then now… The crowd exchanged glances, and a strong sense of worry arose in their hearts.

The eyes of the members of the 64th Grade Commander Hunter Squad also focused on Xia Yin No. 4, waiting for his answer.
