The body descended, and Long Haochen gently pressed down with both palms while taking a deep breath. His body immediately felt as light as a feather as he floated downwards.

It was approaching dawn, but the sky was still dim. His aura of Light Element was too obvious. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he used the most difficult method to control his descent.

The main reason he didn’t want the demons to discover him was to prevent them from knowing that he needed to return from a distance after teleporting to the Eternal Tower. If the enemy knew this secret, it would be easy to devise tactics against him. Therefore, Long Haochen preferred to take a little risk.

Fortunately, his previous position wasn’t too high, about four hundred meters above the ground. With a series of breaths to lighten his body and strikes with his limbs, he managed to slow down his descent as much as possible. As he neared the ground, Long Haochen slightly curled his body, simultaneously using his physical strength to kick out backwards with one foot.

It’s worth noting that his external spiritual power now exceeded 20,000. This full-force kick created a sonic boom in the air, further reducing his descent speed.

His body landed on the ground at an angle. After a series of rolls, all the impact force was dissipated. The epic-level Mithril Foundation Armor he wore also greatly reduced the pressure on his body from the landing. After a series of rolls, Long Haochen leaped up and sprinted towards the Yu Long Pass.

His powerful spiritual force had been used to conceal his presence as much as possible since he returned here. Therefore, it wasn’t until he reached the foot of the Yu Long Pass that the Yu Long Pass Knight Temple guards visually confirmed his return.

Misunderstandings were naturally avoided. Long Haochen’s Mithril Foundation Armor was a symbol of his identity. Moreover, he was the only Mithril Foundation Knight who was out and hadn’t returned.

Therefore, when Long Haochen climbed onto the Yu Long Pass city wall, he was greeted with thunderous cheers and countless respectful gazes.

Large numbers of knights stared at Long Haochen with their fiery gazes, pounding their chest armor fiercely with their fists to express their highest respect for Long Haochen.

This was their respect for the new Saint Knight Head. Even Divine Seal Knight Long Tianyin didn’t understand how Long Haochen managed to severely injure the Undead Demon God Sami Gina, let alone these ordinary soldiers. In their eyes, their powerful Saint Knight Head had defeated the strongest demon god, and he did it despite not being a Divine Seal Knight. Therefore, in their hearts, the word “Acting” in his title of Acting Saint Knight Head had been naturally erased. At the same time, they had even greater confidence in this Holy War.

When Long Haochen stood before Long Tianyin again, Long Tianyin suddenly found that he didn’t know what to say. He sensed at the time that Long Haochen was fine and should have dodged into another space. But how did he do it?

After reaching the ninth rank, it was indeed possible to perform short-range spatial traversals to some extent, but only when the space was extremely calm and stable. But what was the condition of the space when Long Haochen traversed space to leave? The seven demon gods joined forces to attack, and the space was damaged to an unimaginable degree. The instantaneously shattered and torn space almost distorted the entire battlefield above. But even in such a situation, Long Haochen still calmly traversed space and left. Long Tianyin asked himself, he couldn’t do it, absolutely couldn’t do it.

Moreover, Long Haochen had been gone for so long, which meant that he must have the coordinates of another space. Otherwise, if he got lost in spatial travel, he would never be able to return.

“Grandfather.” Long Haochen gave Long Tianyin a knight’s salute, his attitude much gentler than before. When he was attacked by Sami Gina, he felt Long Tianyin desperately trying to rescue him and also saw Long Tianyin before he teleported away. His recognition of his grandfather naturally increased.

Long Tianyin smiled wryly and said, “I don’t know what to say to you anymore? What is that pagoda that appeared around your body?”

Long Haochen pondered for a moment, then said, “I don’t want to lie to you, but this is a secret I can’t reveal. I can only tell you that it can only restrain the Undead Demon God Sami Gina, and I can’t control it. It appeared on its own, and there is only a bridge-like connection between it and me. It was also it that teleported me away.”

To Long Haochen’s surprise, Long Tianyin didn’t ask any further questions, and his gaze gradually became peaceful. “Is your body alright? Did Sami Gina hurt you?”

Long Haochen shook his head. “I’m fine. I can go back to the battlefield at any time. Grandfather, it’s almost dawn. The demons will probably launch a retaliatory counterattack. I’m ready for battle. Please give the order.”

Looking at him, Long Tianyin was speechless for a moment and couldn’t help but say angrily, “Give what order? Your judgment is wrong. I can tell you clearly that there is a 70% chance that the demons won’t attack today. Didn’t you see when you came back? The Demon God Pillar of the Undead Demon God Sami Gina has already retracted its light. You severely injured him this time. His undead domain was even torn apart by your pagoda. What can I say about you? Your Grandpa Yang and I told you to hide your strength and not reveal your identity. But you’re so good at it. You hid the abilities that the demons know, but you immediately became the focus of attention with the abilities they don’t know. You alone have two artifacts on you. It would be strange if the demons didn’t pay attention to you. I estimate that before long, the Demon God Emperor will know of your existence. How can I send you to the battlefield? You also said that your pagoda can only target the Undead Demon God Sami Gina. What if those other demon gods launch another attack against you? What will happen to you?”

Although Long Tianyin was angry, Long Haochen felt warm inside. He could clearly hear the deep concern and worry in his grandfather’s words.
“Grandpa, then I’ll just defend the city. Even if the Demon Gods want to target me on the walls of Yulong Pass, they’ll have to think twice. We know ourselves that the pagoda only works against Samigina, but they don’t! I think there aren’t many Demon Gods who would dare to take that risk. Samigina is their example. And you can’t blame me for this! Gold always shines. You wouldn’t want your grandson to be a nobody, would you?”

As he said this, Long Haochen couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Long Tianyin with a somewhat playful expression.

A hint of a smile also appeared on Long Tianyin’s face. He rarely smiled, but looking at his grandson standing in front of him, he really couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart.

After worrying, he saw even more of his grandson’s strength. He could say that he couldn’t find a single flaw in Long Haochen. At less than twenty years old, he already possessed eighth-rank strength and had at least two Divine Tools. Although he couldn’t fully utilize these Divine Tools yet, with his age and speed of progress, in a few more years, he would truly have the strength to confront the Demon Gods directly. This was his grandson! A hero and leader who would definitely leave a strong mark on human history.

Taking a deep breath, Long Tianyin said, “The demons have already been frightened by us this time. According to our calculations, almost all the Hell Demons in the three legions of the God Emperor have been wiped out. The God Emperor’s legions, without their magic attack power, are like tigers without teeth and are not to be feared. The Necromancer Demon God Samigina was directly severely injured by you. He is the strongest of the Demon Gods outside. Just as you said, these Demon Gods are probably afraid to act rashly. At most, they will maintain the current situation. As long as no reinforcements appear, they won’t dare to fight us to the death. So, I don’t plan to let you continue fighting.”

“Ah?” Long Haochen was immediately anxious. “Grandpa, this won’t do! You and Grandpa Yang must keep your word. If you don’t let me fight, how can I complete my mission of ten million merits? I still want to regroup with my partners and go to the demon territory to wreak havoc.”

Long Tianyin stood up and slowly walked in front of Long Haochen. A sense of dominance was revealed in his eyes. His strong body looked so majestic, and standing in front of Long Haochen, he felt like an indestructible mountain.

“Haochen, don’t worry, my ideas and your Grandpa Yang’s are different. You are my own grandson, my only grandson. You are also the Son of Light, the Favored by the Gods, and the future hope of humanity. If I just protect you under my wings, when will you become the leader of humanity, when will you be able to lead humanity to destroy the demons? You need constant training and constant improvement through hardship. Just like what you said before. I believe that you have the ability to protect yourself and the ability to create more glory. So, Grandpa will not stop you from going to the battlefield. After two consecutive days of battle, you have scared away the enemy once, causing the demons to lose the opportunity to obtain a large number of corpses for replenishment, and severely injured the Necromancer Demon God Samigina, further curbing the momentum of the demon army. I will remember these two great achievements. As the Temple Head of the Knight Temple, I have the authority to award you enough merits. So, I decided to reward you with 500,000 merits as a commendation for your role in turning the tide in these two battles.”

“500,000?” Long Haochen was shocked, but while delighted, he couldn’t help but worry, “Grandpa, isn’t this favoritism?”

“Bullshit.” Long Tianyin raised his hand and flicked Long Haochen’s forehead, scolding with a smile, “Go ask around in our Knight Temple, who doesn’t know that your grandpa is the strictest and most fair God-Sealed Knight? What I possess is the Order and Law God-Sealed Throne. If I can’t even be fair, how can I continue to be recognized by the God-Sealed Throne? Don’t worry, the rewards I give you are only less, not more. Think about it, if it wasn’t for you covering the rear, how many of the fifty Mithril Base Knights who accompanied you would have returned alive? Your action of covering the rear at the cost of your life is worth these 500,000 merits alone. This is what you earned with courage, life, and sacrifice. Although I was very angry at the time, angry that you didn’t consider your own safety, but as your grandpa, as the Temple Head of the Knight Temple, you are Grandpa’s pride. My grandson, Long Tianyin, did not abandon his comrades in the face of danger, and proved your bravery with the most direct action.”

Looking at the surging emotions in his grandfather’s eyes, Long Haochen’s eyes couldn’t help but moisten. No matter how strong he was, how steady his mind was, he was only twenty years old after all. Being able to gain his grandfather’s approval was too important for him.

Long Tianyin took a deep breath, calmed his agitated emotions, and continued, “You did well, but you are not suitable to stay here any longer. Your light should shine in places that need it more. And our Yulong Pass is safe to defend, and you are easily targeted by the enemy. So, after thinking about it, I decided to give you a mission. After completing this mission, you will be equivalent to completing ten million merits, and you can naturally regroup your Demon Hunt Squad. I haven’t told you yet, this time your Grandpa Yang is returning to the Alliance to discuss with other high-ranking Temple members how to utilize your ability to destroy Demon God Pillars. How the Alliance can cooperate with you to maximize this strength.”

Hearing that he could regroup the Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen almost jumped up in excitement, “Grandpa, then please issue the mission. I will definitely complete it no matter what.”

Long Tianyin said, “Don’t speak so confidently. Is a mission equivalent to ten million merits that simple? You can go back and rest first. You will set off tomorrow to complete this mission. This mission is very simple. You go alone, as the Holy Knight Captain of the Knight Temple, and join the defense battles of the other five Great Temples’ fortresses in turn. In each fortress, you must obtain at least one million merits, or establish a great achievement of the level of last night. After completing the battles of all five fortresses, you will naturally be reunited with all your partners. By then, the Alliance will definitely give you new missions. Do you understand?”

Happiness came so suddenly that Long Haochen felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Traveling to the other five great temples to participate in battles, and reuniting with his companions one by one, there was no doubt that the mission Long Tianyin gave him was much simpler than Yang Haohan’s original mission requiring ten million merit points! Moreover, as he continued to travel to each fortress, he could reunite with his partners one by one, so how could he not be excited? For a moment, Long Haochen was so excited that he was speechless.

Long Tianyin smiled slightly and said, “Is it because you’re thinking about going to the Demon Hunt Pass to meet your little girlfriend that you’re so happy?”

Indeed, the Demon Hunt Pass, where the Assassin Temple is located, is the closest to the Dragon Knight Temple’s Yu Long Pass! Cai’er is there!
