With the completion of its forced evolution, Haoyue’s scales became thicker and faintly glowed with a dark purple luster. A conical protrusion grew at the tip of its thick, long tail. Just lying there, it exuded an invisible deterrent force. According to Long Haochen’s estimation, Haoyue had now entered the sixth rank, and was a four-attribute sixth-rank, with Little Blue’s attribute being water.

“Haoyue, will there be undead creatures waiting for us to appear on the other side?” Long Haochen asked Haoyue.

Haoyue closed all four of its heads simultaneously, and after a moment, it opened its eyes and shook its head at Long Haochen. At the same time, Long Haochen also sensed Haoyue’s anger.

Haoyue’s anger came on quite strongly, even causing Long Haochen to feel a sense of fear.

Haoyue’s anger also contained intense contempt and humiliation. Contempt for the undead creatures, and humiliation for them threatening its life.

Long Haochen touched Little Light’s head and smiled, “Don’t be angry, we won’t be afraid of them when we become stronger in the future. It’s all my fault this time, if it wasn’t for the sudden awakening of my physique, it wouldn’t have brought you so much trouble.”

Haoyue’s angry emotions quickly calmed down under Long Haochen’s persuasion. Its four big heads approached him and gently rubbed against him. Its eyes also became gentle again.

“Since there is no danger over there, let’s go.” Long Haochen, with Haoyue, activated the Eternal Melody and returned to the place where they had left before.

When the golden light flashed and his vision became clear again, Long Haochen couldn’t help but gasp.

He and Haoyue appeared in a pit more than thirty meters deep and hundreds of meters in diameter, surrounded by terrifying charred blackness. The original mountain and cave had completely disappeared.

However, as Haoyue had sensed before, no undead creatures appeared here again.

Haoyue raised all four of its heads at the same time, and an invisible majesty spread from its body.

“Roar—” All four heads simultaneously let out a loud roar, seemingly venting their emotions, and also seeming to say, I will be back.

Purple light flashed, enveloping its and Long Haochen’s bodies. Contract teleportation activated, causing them to reappear in the basement of the Priest Temple.

Long Haochen dared not delay, and teleported all his partners back from the Eternal Tower. After completing these tasks, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This trip to Zhennan Pass can be said to have been extremely dangerous. Both Long Haochen personally, and their twenty-first grade demon hunt squad, suffered an unprecedented crisis. It was even more dangerous than when they ventured deep into the Fear Howl Cave of the Demon Clan.

However, similarly, their gains this time were also huge. Not only did they receive merit rewards, but more importantly, spirit stoves. Everyone had their own spirit stove, and except for Wang Yuanyuan, the others had completed spirit stove fusion.

Sima Xian finally woke up from his coma on the third day after returning. Although his injuries were very serious, he finally recovered under the treatment of Han Yu and Yating.

This guy gave his fused spirit stove an imposing name, called the Purple Illusion Divine Thunder Spirit Stove.

Chen Ying’er’s fused spirit stove is called the Time Overlay Spirit Stove.

The two spirit stoves each have their own characteristics and are both extremely powerful existences. As for their power, it will be revealed in future battles.

After this battle, the overall strength of the twenty-first grade demon hunt squad has completely been elevated to the level of a marshal. And they are a very powerful marshal-grade squad.

A large number of Alliance reinforcements finally arrived, also announcing that the Zhennan Pass crisis was completely resolved. The Demon Clan army had already retreated. On the surface, the Demon Clan suffered a great loss this time, with several Demon God heirs losing their lives, but was that really the case? At least Long Haochen didn’t think so. This could be seen from his agreement with Ye Xiaolei. As for what the agreement was, even his teammates didn’t know.

“Is Captain Long in?” A knock on the door woke Long Haochen, who was pondering the various events that occurred in the Dream Paradise.

After seven days of rest, his condition had basically returned to normal, and the weakness brought about by Spirit Ignition had also disappeared.

Opening the door, Long Haochen welcomed Zhang Fangfang, who had come to visit, inside.

“Brother Zhang doesn’t need to be so polite, you are a senior, just call me by my name.” Long Haochen said with a smile.

Zhang Fangfang sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, “Okay, then I’ll call you Haochen. Haochen, what are your next plans?”

Long Haochen shook his head and said, “We plan to return to Holy City to rest for a while. As you know, we have gained a lot this time. But because some of our abilities are newly acquired, we still need to cooperate with each other to unleash our strongest combat power. At the same time, we also plan to return to the Holy Alliance to be promoted to a marshal-grade demon hunt squad, and take on some more difficult tasks.”

Zhang Fangfang did not hide the envy in his heart, “You are truly the most talented demon hunt squad I have ever seen. If I had a choice, I would be willing to be your attendant knight like Han Yu.”

Long Haochen chuckled, “Brother Zhang, you’re joking. You have successfully advanced to the seventh rank this time, and your team has also gained some merits. It’s very easy to be promoted to a marshal grade. By the way, I heard that if someone in the team reaches a higher level, they will get a merit reduction when promoting the demon hunt squad, right?”

Zhang Fangfang smiled wryly, “Yes! When it comes to bad luck, no one can compare to our team. I don’t dare to expect to be promoted with merits. Fortunately, this time we benefited from you, and were able to break through the bottleneck and advance to the seventh rank. We can finally be promoted to the marshal grade. Haochen, I won’t say thank you. If there is anything you need from us in the future, just ask, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse.”

“Okay.” Long Haochen was not polite and agreed directly. It is normal for demon hunt squads to help each other.

Zhang Fangfang said, “Since you are also returning to the Holy City, why don’t we set off together? We also have to go back and get promoted directly.”

“Alright. Then shall we go together tomorrow?”

Getting a positive answer from Long Haochen, Zhang Fangfang was obviously very happy, and after chatting for a few more words, he said goodbye and left.

Long Haochen closed the door, and Caier, who had been cultivating in the inner room, came out and smiled slightly, “Did you see it?”

Long Haochen was taken aback, “See what?”

Caier giggled, “This Zhang Fangfang has taken a fancy to Yuanyuan. Don’t tell me you didn’t see it.”

“Ah?” Long Haochen was stunned, “You mean, Brother Zhang and Yuanyuan…, impossible, you forgot what Yuanyuan said?”

Caier only has such rich expressions in front of Long Haochen. She made a face at him and said, “Can you believe that? It’s clear that Yuanyuan deliberately said that because she doesn’t like those guys in our team. Don’t think that she and Yinger are both tough-mouthed, they are just good friends. Before, after we fought a big battle in Zhennan Pass, you were seriously injured and unconscious. I accidentally heard Yinger asking other teams about Yang Wenzhao’s situation.”

Long Haochen suddenly realized, “So that’s how it is. We can’t control this kind of thing, so let it be. As long as they like each other.”

Caier suddenly said, “In the future, unless there are special circumstances, Yating is not allowed to show her real body, and she must still be the small version like before.”

Long Haochen smiled wryly, “I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I didn’t dare to tell you before.”

Caier chuckled, “Misunderstand what? She is an elemental spirit, even if she has a physical body, she is still an energy body. Why should I misunderstand her?”

Long Haochen was stunned, “Then why do you want her to shrink?”

Caier said, “That’s different. Her dress is so revealing, you always look at her, and you’ll become bad.”

Long Haochen smiled slyly, “Then you dress like that and show me, I don’t think you’ll become bad, will you?”

“Bah, you’ve really become bad.” Caier dodged away the moment Long Haochen reached out to hug her.

Ever since that ambiguous scene in the Dream Paradise, Caier has refused to share a bed with Long Haochen these days. At most, the two of them would sit on the bed and cultivate together. Long Haochen didn’t force it, and even he himself was a little afraid to hug Caier and sleep in bed like before.

That day made them realize that they are no longer children. Although they are in love with each other, they have not yet been betrothed, and Long Haochen is afraid of hurting Caier, while Caier is shy. As for how long this state will last, they themselves don’t know.

Returning to the Holy City was not only Long Haochen and Zhang Fangfang and their demon hunt squads, but also Lu Xi and their twenty-second grade demon hunt squad, and the demon hunt squads where Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were, returned together as if they had planned it.

In this way, on the way back, several demon hunt squads can be said to have been disbanded. Lin Xin eagerly ran to Lu Xi and their side to accompany Li Xin. And two uninvited guests were added to Long Haochen’s team, Zhang Fangfang and Yang Wenzhao.

Zhang Fangfang is steady, sincere, and has an honest personality. He doesn’t say much, but follows Wang Yuanyuan every day. No matter how Wang Yuanyuan drives him away, gets angry at him, he just smiles and says nothing, silently following her. Later, Wang Yuanyuan didn’t say anything. She just let him follow.

Yang Wenzhao also seemed to have made up his mind, pestering Chen Yinger. He was much more diligent than Zhang Fangfang, often sending Chen Yinger some delicious and fun things.

Although Chen Yinger was not kind to him, she was willing to accept the things he sent.

Long Haochen and Caier also rarely enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere on the way back. Long Haochen didn’t restrain his companions, because he knew very well that after returning to the Holy City, the next period of time would be their time for closed-door cultivation. It was rare to let everyone relax. And he already had certain plans for future actions. But there was no need to tell his companions now.
