“What? Two hundred thousand merit points? Are you kidding me!” Even Dragon Haochen, with his good temper, was burning with anger the moment the thirteen of them heard the explanation from the Task Tower staff.

Every face was filled with displeasure. Dragon Haochen stood there coldly, looking at the staff member in front of him, and said in a deep voice, “I hope the Task Tower can give us an explanation. Don’t you know that an irresponsible task will bring us devastating disaster?”

Lu Xi was even more agitated, banging his hand on the counter. “I knew it was too difficult! Bastard, it’s a complete bastard! What kind of bullshit task is this? Is this how you issue tasks? What if we die in the hands of the demons? We demand an explanation for this! Otherwise, I quit!”

The staff member was the same one who had received Dragon Haochen and his group initially. Seeing the thirteen young demon hunters in such a state of agitation, he was momentarily flustered.

“Please, everyone, don’t get so excited. This task mix-up is indeed our fault, and we won’t avoid responsibility. The Task Tower has also made compensation for this task. Even if the mission fails, you will receive 20,000 merit points as a reward, which is equivalent to the reward for accepting the task.”

Unfortunately, the staff member underestimated the attitude of these young people.

Chen Ying’er sneered, “Two thousand merit points to get rid of us? This is attempted murder! Guild Leader, we’re not turning in this mission. Let’s go to the Governing Axe, I don’t believe there’s nowhere to reason. I’ll go find my grandma. Lin Xin, go find your grandfather.”

Without a word, Dragon Haochen turned around and led the group out. The Squad-level Fourth Demon Hunter Squad was accustomed to following him, and led by Lu Xi, they followed behind, heading out.

The staff member’s face was pale. “What should I do? This is going to blow up!” Although he wasn’t directly responsible, he was the one who issued the task. Moreover, after they discovered the problem with the task, they didn’t report it to their superiors to avoid responsibility. At the time, this staff member thought that two newly formed Demon Hunter Squads wouldn’t have much of a reaction even if they discovered the task was wrong. Little did he know that Dragon Haochen’s Demon Hunter Squad could even be called a “Prince Squad,” and that each of them was not someone to be trifled with.

Not daring to delay, the staff member hurried to report to his superiors.

After leaving the Demon Hunter Task Tower, the cold wind blew, and Dragon Haochen became slightly more awake. However, when he looked at Cai’er, whom he was holding by her slender waist, his anger surged again. If not for the error in the task, how could Cai’er have become like this? This matter must not be let go lightly.

Kindness does not mean weakness. On the contrary, Dragon Haochen’s personality has always been upright, which is the opposite of his beautiful appearance. As the Guild Leader, if he was weak in this matter, how could he command his team in the future?

Lu Xi walked up to Dragon Haochen. “Guild Leader Dragon, what do we do now? Are we really going to the Governing Axe? We are insignificant, but the Task Tower is the most important part of the alliance. I’m afraid the alliance may not be on our side.”

Dragon Haochen took a deep breath and said, “However, the alliance can’t let us lose heart. Guild Leader Lu, you should go back first. Leave this matter to us, and I will give you an answer when I have news, how does that sound?”

Lu Xi’s face changed. “Guild Leader Dragon, what do you mean by that? We can risk our lives in the demonic territories. Do you think we will back down when we return home? Since we’re going to seek justice, of course, we’ll go together.”

As soon as he said this, the other five members of the Squad-level Fourth Demon Hunter Squad became excited. They were really afraid that Lu Xi would retreat at the last minute. That would be something to be ashamed of! Without the people from the General-level Twenty-first Demon Hunter Squad, they would probably have left their lives in the demonic territories.

“Let’s go.” Dragon Haochen waved his hand, and a group of thirteen people headed straight for the Saint Alliance Governing Axe with great momentum.

You must know that this is the Holy City, and the Saint Alliance Governing Axe is the core of the entire Saint Alliance. To come here to seek justice is tantamount to slapping the Governing Axe hard. Not everyone possesses such courage.

Although Dragon Haochen was angry, his mind was clear. The reason he chose to go directly to the Governing Axe was because he had no choice. Besides the Saint Alliance Governing Axe, who else could restrain the Demon Hunter Task Tower? The lofty status of the Task Tower was not something they could shake with just a few people.

The Saint Alliance Governing Axe was not far from the Demon Hunter Task Tower. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Governing Axe.

Chen Ying’er may not be old or tall, but she had the biggest temper at this time. “Guild Leader, tell us what to do.”

Dragon Haochen said in a deep voice, “We will be at the entrance of the Governing Axe, waiting for the Alliance to give us an explanation.”

“Huh? That’s it?” Chen Ying’er said with some dissatisfaction. Isn’t this all bark and no bite?

However, Dragon Haochen’s next move stunned everyone. The Guild Leader of the General-level Twenty-first Demon Hunter Squad walked straight to the entrance of the Saint Alliance Governing Axe and sat down cross-legged. Cai’er sat beside him in his embrace. The spot where he sat was only three meters away from the entrance of the Governing Axe. Although it didn’t block the entrance, this approach could only be described as arrogant.

There were only two guards at the entrance of the Saint Alliance Governing Axe. They stared dumbfounded at the young man who sat down there, and for a moment, they thought they were seeing things.

Someone dared to block the entrance of the Saint Alliance Governing Axe? Was he out of his mind?

Just as the two guards were shocked and quickly walked forward, a group of people walked to Dragon Haochen’s side, lining up thirteen people, almost completely blocking the entrance of the Saint Alliance Governing Axe.

“What are you doing?” The two guards had arrived nearby.

Dragon Haochen raised his hand, and in his hand was the Demon Hunter Squad token. “The General-level Twenty-first Demon Hunter Squad has come to petition, please give us an explanation from the Alliance.”

Lu Xi also took out the token of their Squad-level Fourth Demon Hunter Squad. The two guards who were about to take action stopped immediately. Of course, they understood what the Demon Hunter Squad meant. Almost all of the Alliance’s high-level officials came from the Demon Hunter Squad! For a moment, they really didn’t dare to take action against these young people.

The two looked at each other, and one of the guards hurried into the Governing Axe, while the other frowned and looked at the crowd and said, “Talk nicely, what’s with your behavior?”

Although he was just a guard, this man was over forty years old, and at this moment, the aura emanating from him was quite strong.

Unfortunately, his threat was futile. Dragon Haochen and the other thirteen ignored him completely, sitting there motionless.

The Saint Alliance Governing Axe was located in the center of the Holy City. Dragon Haochen and his group made such a big scene, which naturally attracted the attention of passers-by, but because of the Alliance’s authority, no one dared to get too close.

Before long, a black figure quickly walked out of the Saint Alliance Governing Axe. It was none other than the Vice-Hall Master of the Assassin Temple, Ying Suifeng.

He happened to run into it, just as he went downstairs and met the guard, the guard quickly said what he saw at the door.

Ying Suifeng thought, who is this! So bold, dare to block the door? Even if the Demon Hunter Squad has a high status, they can’t slap the Alliance in the face! It seemed that they had suffered some grievances, but if every Demon Hunter Squad that suffered grievances came to block the door of the Saint Alliance Governing Axe, what would that be? Therefore, he came out with anger.

However, when he saw the people sitting at the door, he was immediately shocked. Wasn’t this Dragon Haochen and Cai’er?

“Dragon Haochen, what are you doing? Are you rebelling? Get up for me quickly.” Ying Suifeng shouted angrily.

Dragon Haochen firmly shook his head and said, “The Alliance won’t give us an explanation, we will never get up.”

“Nonsense, what explanation do you want? Get up for me and explain yourself.” Ying Suifeng looked angry, it was this kid who came to make trouble, they were just newly formed Demon Hunter Squads! This was obviously relying on their respective status in the Holy Temple to make trouble. Ying Suifeng knew the origin of these little guys, and his anger grew stronger.

However, he didn’t directly reach out to pull Dragon Haochen up after all, because Cai’er was here.

Dragon Haochen said in a deep voice, “Hall Master Ying, I hope you will clarify the matter before scolding us. Cai’er has always regarded you as an elder, do you know that if we hadn’t been lucky this time, we wouldn’t have been able to sit here alive.”

Hearing what he said, Ying Suifeng’s anger dropped a bit, and he frowned and said, “What exactly happened?”

Lu Xi and others had also seen Ying Suifeng. Seeing that the Vice-Hall Master of the Assassin Temple had relaxed his tone in Dragon Haochen’s words, one by one, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Dragon Haochen suppressed the anger in his heart and recounted what had happened before.

At this time, Ying Suifeng’s face also changed, “Bastards. These bastards in the Task Tower. They actually did such a thing. Don’t worry, the Alliance will definitely give you an explanation. I promise you in the capacity of the Vice-Hall Master of the Assassin Temple. Children, get up first, this is the door of the Governing Axe after all. Come in with me.”

Ying Suifeng was listening to Dragon Haochen’s words, cold sweat was dripping down his back! Others don’t know, but he knows it! Dragon Haochen’s Demon Hunter Squad is far from powerful, but what is their combination? Just the identities of the Son of Light and the Saint Daughter of Reincarnation are enough to make the two major Holy Temples panic when they hear about it. What’s more, the other little guys are not easy to deal with either.

Dragon Haochen nodded silently, pulled Cai’er up, “Hall Master Ying, then I’ll leave it to you.” Blocking the door was just to get the Governing Axe to pay attention, not to tear down the facade. Ying Suifeng had already stated that he would thoroughly investigate the matter, and he naturally knew the limits.
