Thinking about it from a different perspective, for Long Haochen, the Child of Light and favored by the gods, if he didn’t make a leap forward after a year and a half of secluded cultivation, that would be abnormal. Of course, he can only contend with lower-ranking demons for now, but don’t forget, he’s only twenty years old!

Haoyue and Long Haochen were affectionate for a good while before calming down, and then immediately transmitted a thought to Long Haochen.

Long Haochen shook his head, saying, “No, it’s not the time yet. We can’t reveal ourselves here. Moreover, there are other demons watching us, we can’t rush things. Don’t worry, you’ll have your chance to shine.”

Haoyue’s suggestion to Long Haochen was undoubtedly aimed at the Demon God Pillars. Among the eight great demons outside of Demon Hunt Pass, two Demon God Pillars have already lost their masters, making it a perfect opportunity to destroy them. It wasn’t just Haoyue who had this suggestion, Long Haochen himself was also tempted. There are only seventy-two demons in total, and the Serpent Demon God’s lineage has already ended. It can be said that destroying each demon weakens the demon race’s foundation by a fraction.

However, Long Haochen remained rational. When he thought about the dilapidated state of Demon Hunt Pass when he first arrived, he didn’t dare to act rashly. Otherwise, if the Demon God Emperor learned that he and Haoyue were in this area, he would definitely launch a large-scale attack. What would Demon Hunt Pass use to resist the Demon God Emperor? At that time, the entire Demon Hunt Pass would be devastated, and even the Assassin Temple might be destroyed in one fell swoop. Although Long Haochen didn’t understand why the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, and Star Demon God, the three strongest members of the demon race, had been inactive until now, at least the current situation was still manageable for the Temple Alliance. Perhaps, the Demon God Emperor was afraid of a truly mutually destructive outcome.

Therefore, although they killed two demons this time, their Demon God Pillars cannot be touched lightly. Long Haochen himself must not reveal his identity in the border region.

Long Haochen smiled and looked at Cai’er, saying, “Let’s hurry back once we’ve recovered our spiritual power, so our great-grandfather doesn’t worry.”

Haoyue didn’t stay here, but directly teleported back to its own world. Its abilities seemed to have increased a lot again. Long Haochen faintly felt that Haoyue seemed to have reached a bottleneck again, and it could break through at any time. Its massive body seemed somewhat bloated. If it evolved again, what kind of abilities would it evolve into?

Thinking of this, Long Haochen couldn’t help but feel a bit of anticipation. Haoyue’s ability to destroy Demon God Pillars and its stronger power would naturally be more beneficial for future actions.

The Green Fiend Knight Demon, Xier, died. For the demon race, this was a huge blow.

Inside the demon race’s central military tent, six demons with different expressions, but all possessing powerful auras, had solemn faces. The entire tent was filled with an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

“We absolutely can’t let this go,” an angry roar broke the silence in the tent.

The speaker was a tall, burly man with wings on his back, bull horns on his head, and an iron-gray face. It was the Winged Bull Berserker Demon, Sai Gong.

It’s no wonder he was so angry. For many years, he, the Flame Lion Demon Anluoxian, and the Green Fiend Knight Demon Xier had been guarding outside of Demon Hunt Pass. Now that Anluoxian and Xier had both died, how could he not feel a sense of fear for his own safety?

Upon hearing his words, the other demons’ expressions varied. Among these six demons, the one sitting in the main seat was actually a woman who looked like a human being. And she was incredibly beautiful.

Wearing a pink dress, with pink hair, and captivating pink eyes, she had flawless white skin and extremely beautiful features. Her figure was also extremely voluptuous, and she was over 1.8 meters tall. If she were a human woman, she would definitely be considered quite tall. She was also very well-proportioned, and the dress’s neckline revealed a deep cleavage. Her breasts looked as if they were about to burst out of the dress at any moment.

If you paid close attention, you would notice that the other demons didn’t dare to make eye contact with her, and didn’t even dare to linger their gaze on her.

This was the Passion Demon God, Xidi, ranked twelfth among the seventy-two Demon God Pillars. The ranking among the seventy-two Demon God Pillars was extremely important. Being ranked in the top twelve, her strength was self-evident. She was also the supreme commander of the demon army outside Demon Hunt Pass, and all the demons here were under her command. Although she had a female appearance, no demon felt any dissatisfaction with her.

Xidi’s expression was stern, making her even more aloof. She didn’t rush to express her opinion, but instead turned her gaze to the Winged Bull Berserker Demon, Sai Gong.

Sai Gong’s intense anger immediately subsided when her gaze swept over him, and he sat down dejectedly.

Xidi said indifferently, “Let’s hear from the others. What are your thoughts?”

“I agree with Sai Gong’s statement. We can’t just let this go. Humans dared to ambush us. If we don’t give them a severe lesson, won’t they become even more arrogant? Anluoxian and Xier are both dead. If we can’t achieve anything, no one can bear His Majesty’s blame.”

The speaker was a small, thin demon whose body was shrouded in black shadows. Long Haochen and Cai’er should be familiar with this demon, because he was the one who appeared with Anluoxian on the city wall earlier and ambushed Cai’er. However, he ended up losing more than he gained, sacrificing the Flame Lion Demon Anluoxian outside of Demon Hunt Pass.

He was ranked forty-fifth among the seventy-two Demon God Pillars, controlling the Stealthers of the Dike Clan, the Shadow Demon God, Bai En.

Xidi narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “Have the casualty numbers been tallied?”

“They have been tallied,” the Winged Bull Berserker Demon, Sai Gong, immediately interjected. “The casualties are heavy. More than 1,400 demons above the sixth rank died, and the losses below the sixth rank are more than 3,000.”

Even for a demon army as strong as the demon race, this level of loss was quite significant, especially those demons above the sixth rank, which couldn’t be cultivated so easily.

Hearing his words, a sharp glint flashed in Xidi’s eyes. She slowly stood up, and her towering breasts swayed slightly.

“Launch a full-scale attack tomorrow morning. This time, we will not stop until we break through Demon Hunt Pass.”

She was also truly enraged. Although she was unwilling to admit it, the Shadow Demon God, Bai En, was right. The death of two demons was not easy to explain. This was the first time that there had been casualties at the demon level since the beginning of the Holy War.

“Xidi, should we discuss this further?” A tall demon sitting on the other side said in a deep voice, “His Majesty’s intention is to continuously deplete the human’s strength, not to break through the pass.”

Xidi’s cold gaze swept over him horizontally, “What? Do you have any objections?”

The demon paused, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Being able to command the army and threaten Demon Hunt Pass with a female appearance, how could Xidi not have some means to control the other demons?

“Do as I say.”

“Yes.” The other demons stood up one after another and turned to leave.

Demon Hunt Pass.

Saint Moon’s anxiety was finally relieved. Long Haochen and Cai’er had returned together.

This operation could definitely be said to be a success for Demon Hunt Pass. Although they ultimately lost several Hidden Hero-level assassins, the damage they inflicted on the demon race was even more severe. At least one-fifth of the demon race’s sixth-rank and above powerhouses had died in this raid. Moreover, although they didn’t know what happened on Long Haochen and Cai’er’s side, they could see that the Demon God Pillar of the Green Fiend Knight Demon, Xier, had extinguished!

Could it be that Long Haochen killed a demon god? Saint Moon couldn’t believe it was true. Long Haochen was only an eighth-rank cultivator. But he couldn’t be sure either. He had seen how powerful the forbidden spell that Long Haochen used before was. It was clear that he couldn’t be measured by the standards of ordinary eighth-rank powerhouses.

Long Haochen and Cai’er immediately returned to Demon Hunt Pass after restoring their spiritual power inside the Eternal Tower. They hid their bodies immediately after appearing in the void. Cai’er naturally used invisibility, and Long Haochen had already put on a large cloak. Using spiritual power to distort the space around his body and concealing his presence, Cai’er directly grabbed his arm and flew back. This was the benefit of having a partner. Otherwise, to hide his identity, Long Haochen would have to find a way to return on the ground.

“You really killed Xier?” Saint Moon stared wide-eyed at Long Haochen and Cai’er in front of him.

Cai’er stuck out her tongue, took a step back, and pointed at Long Haochen, saying unrighteously, “He arranged everything. He was the one who mainly took action. I only attacked once.”

Saint Moon immediately turned his gaze to Long Haochen. He wasn’t the only one here. There were also the Hero and Hidden Hero-level assassins from the Assassin Temple next to him.

After they returned, they immediately gathered together because Long Haochen and Cai’er hadn’t returned yet. Saint Moon hadn’t let them disperse and was waiting for news of Long Haochen and Cai’er. If the time was longer, they might have re-entered the demon race’s camp to find Long Haochen and Cai’er.

Long Haochen nodded and said, “It was lucky, I guess. The Green Fiend Knight Demon, Xier, is ranked seventieth among the seventy-two Demon God Pillars. His strength is relatively weak, and we ambushed him. We successfully killed him, and my magical beast partner devoured and absorbed the Demon God Crown.”

The magical beast partner he was talking about was naturally Haoyue. Of course, in the hearts of these assassin powerhouses, it was the Star King.

After hearing his simple explanation, the high-level members of the Assassin Temple looked at each other, completely speechless.

Was the Green Fiend Knight Demon easier to deal with just because he was ranked lower? They had been dealing with this demon for more than a day or two. With the amplification of the Demon God Pillar, Xier’s combat power could reach the ninth rank, and he also had a series of abilities to save his life. With the assassins’ high burst damage, they hadn’t been able to kill him for so many years, but Long Haochen described it so lightly. How did he succeed?
