“Hmm.” Agares naturally couldn’t give a definite answer, so he could only give an ambiguous agreement.

Feng Xiu said, “I came to you this time for two more things. Do you know about the Shrieking Cave that the Demon Race discovered?”

Agares nodded and said, “I’ve heard a little about it, but since that’s Demon territory, it’s not easy for me to investigate.”

Feng Xiu said with some disdain, “That idiot Samigina has already lost hundreds of men there. But he’s still keeping it a secret and suppressing the matter. Does he really think he can hide it from me?”

Agares pondered, “Big Brother, are you saying you want me to intervene?”

Feng Xiu shook his head and said, “No need. After hearing about this, I used my mental power to probe the Shrieking Cave. I didn’t find anything, so there probably isn’t anything of value. Samigina is just bringing it upon himself. As for his subordinates, they might not have been hurt inside the cave. They might have encountered human demon hunter squads.”

Hearing the words “demon hunter squads,” Agares’s expression immediately darkened. Every demon god hated demon hunter squads. These elusive human powerhouses could become their great enemies at any time. Agares himself had encountered more than ten assassination attempts by demon hunter squads. One time, he was even seriously injured.

Feng Xiu frowned slightly and said, “This isn’t that important, but not long ago, I sensed that guy’s aura.”

Agares’s heart stirred. “That guy? The one you mentioned last time…”

Feng Xiu nodded slightly. “Heaven’s Scourge, Anlos, ranked fifty-second, reported to me, and I personally went to the Exorcist Pass. But I found nothing. However, this time I truly sensed its aura, although it was very weak, the purity of that aura was undeniable. Heaven’s Scourge has likely truly come to this world. However, it should still be in its infancy and far from powerful.”

Agares gasped. “Big Brother, we must not let Heaven’s Scourge become strong, otherwise it will be a disaster for us! Back then, our ancestors joined forces and barely managed to seal it. In the end, it still broke through the barrier, forcing us to forcibly open a space and come to this world. Wasn’t Heaven’s Scourge already dead in that hard fight? How could it…”

Feng Xiu shook his head and said, “You don’t really know the truth about this matter. The situation back then was extremely complex. The space wasn’t opened by us. Our ancestors’ cultivation wasn’t nearly enough at that time. Only Heaven’s Scourge could tear through space. As for the specific process, it’s better for you not to know.”

Agares nodded slightly. “Big Brother, tell me what you need me to do, and I will obey without question.”

Feng Xiu said, “Send all the strong members of your clan out. I want to conduct a carpet search of the Demon Race territory, ostensibly under the banner of exterminating human demon hunter squads, but in reality, searching for the existence of Heaven’s Scourge. Although Heaven’s Scourge is weak, it is by no means easy to deal with. Don’t act rashly if you find anything. We must personally take action to completely obliterate it. You must keep this matter a secret. Don’t even tell Samigina, besides the three of us brothers, so as not to cause panic among those below.”

“Yes.”

Feng Xiu stood up and said, “Let’s go, come to my place for a drink. Relax a little.”

Agares smiled wryly and said, “Forget it. Hearing the words ‘Heaven’s Scourge’ makes me feel like I’m sitting on pins and needles. I’d better arrange the search for it first. Big Brother, give me a direction at least.”

Feng Xiu nodded and said, “When I sensed its aura, it was near the Shrieking Cave, but when I sensed it again, it had completely disappeared. It was as if it had never existed. That’s all the clues I have. You command the intelligence of our entire Demon Race, so I’ll leave this matter to you. I want to hear a response within three months.”

“I will do my best.”

Feng Xiu’s eyes turned cold. “It can’t be ‘do your best,’ it must be done. This concerns our life and death. Although none of us have seen the real Heaven’s Scourge, the fact that it could force our ancestors to such a point shows how terrifying it is.”

…Long Haochen was really having a hard time waiting. Always keeping his head down wasn’t exactly comfortable.

The Demon God Emperor had finally left, and he no longer felt that terrifying gaze. The Moon Demon Clan’s powerhouses in front were all called to the main hall by Agares. Only then did he quietly return to the palace with Yue Ye.

Once inside the palace, Yue Ye dismissed the maids. She and Long Haochen almost collapsed on the ground as if they were completely exhausted. The mental pressure was simply too great.

“Do you know? At that moment, I really wanted to kill you,” Yue Ye said angrily.

Long Haochen smiled bitterly and said, “It was my fault. I shouldn’t have looked up like that. I didn’t expect the Demon God Emperor’s mental power to be so sensitive.”

“Didn’t expect?” Yue Ye’s voice suddenly rose. “Do you know that your ‘didn’t expect’ almost cost me my life? Alright, you should leave quickly and stay at the address I told you before. I will arrange for you to leave as soon as possible.”

“Okay, I’ll leave now.” Long Haochen changed out of the maid’s clothes, returned to his original attire, and quickly left after apologizing to Yue Ye again.

Watching him leave, Yue Ye finally relaxed completely. However, there was no relief in her eyes, but rather contemplation.

“His Majesty should have discovered him, right? But why didn’t His Majesty take action? Is it to save face for Father? But that’s completely unnecessary!”

Whether it was because Long Haochen and the others’ existence threatened Yue Ye’s safety, only two days later, Yue Ye sent news. The merchant caravan was being assembled and would depart in two days to the Saint Alliance. She told Long Haochen to be prepared.

After experiencing the bad luck and difficulties of their journey here, the goddess of luck finally descended upon Long Haochen and his companions. The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu’s order was for the Moon Demon God Agares to preside over the search of the entire Demon Race territory, not the Death Spirit Demon God Samigina. Under such circumstances, who would check the caravan of Agares’s most beloved daughter?

Moreover, the news that Yue Ye’s caravan had recently experienced the Naric Province massacre, and that the Demon God Emperor was furious and heavily punished Naric Province, had already spread far and wide. The Demon Race had even compensated Yue Ye’s caravan for its losses.

Due to the combined effect of these factors, even though the Demon Race began a search of the entire territory, Long Haochen and his companions still returned to the Saint Alliance very smoothly and without any complications.

Yue Ye did not accompany this caravan, but only left Long Haochen with a way to contact her and the time, so that Caier could alleviate the restrictions on her.

After entering the Southeast Fortress with Yue Ye’s caravan, the two demon hunter squads did not stay, but directly left the fortress under Long Haochen’s leadership and came to Xingxun City, which was not far away. It was not until they checked into the hotel that everyone’s nerves finally relaxed.

They simply stayed here, and stayed for three days, and unanimously slept for three days.

The fatigue was not only physical, but also mental and psychological. Since the day they left the Saint Alliance to start this mission, their minds had been in a state of high tension. They had experienced several life-and-death situations, but in the end, they still failed to complete the mission definitively.

Returning to the Saint Alliance, their first feeling was that they were home. This was the first mission for the two demon hunter squads, and they were far from being able to fully adapt to this kind of thrilling life. Now they all needed this relaxation process too much.

After three days of rest, everyone’s spirits and emotions recovered a lot, and then they set off again, heading straight to the Holy City. Both teams needed to rest and recuperate. Although they may not have completed the mission this time, the gains were enormous, and there were unprecedented benefits for their own training, strength improvement, and increased experience.

On the way back, they specially rented a carriage, and the speed was not fast. It took a full fifteen days to return to the Holy City. These fifteen days were also the time for them to summarize the experience and gains of this trip.

Long Haochen collected the merits of his companions and shockingly discovered that the total amount of merits they had obtained this time was as high as more than 20,000, a number he had never expected. It was really surprising to him that he had obtained so many merits just by killing.

In fact, the reason why there were so many was mainly because of the leading role played by the level 21 demon hunter squad in various battles. Especially for the killing of demon powerhouses, almost all of the sixth- and seventh-level demon enemies were killed by them. It would be strange if they didn’t have a lot of merits.

The harvest of the level 4 demon hunter squad was far less than this. The total income of merits was less than 10,000. However, they had accumulated their merits during the trial, and now the total amount of team merits is more than 10,000. Long Haochen did not hide the benefits of upgrading to a general-level demon hunter squad, and after experiencing this mission, the overall strength of the level 4 demon hunter squad has also been tempered and improved by life and death. Their first priority after returning is to upgrade the demon hunter squad level.

After the seven members of the level 21 demon hunter squad discussed together, they did not divide the merits equally this time. After this period of running-in, the trust between them has reached a considerable level.

Equal distribution of merits is certainly very fair, but it also restricts the development of the team. Therefore, everyone decided to unify the allocation of merits, and use them where they are most needed. This is obviously the most suitable for team development.

The long-lost Holy City finally appeared in front of the two demon hunter squads fifteen days later, and they all had the urge to burst into tears.

At Long Haochen’s suggestion, the two demon hunter squads did not return to their villas to rest first, but went directly to the Demon Hunter Squad Mission Tower to hand in the mission.
