The light of the Pillar of the Insight Demon God suddenly went out, and the momentum of the two armies changed drastically, but the top powerhouses on both sides were stunned.

After a brief moment of stagnation, the first reaction of the Angel Demon God Baimon was that it was impossible. He couldn’t believe that a mithril base knight could kill Crocell. Even if Crocell was weakened by using the Insight Summoning Technique, with his support, the damage he suffered should not be great. And mithril base knights are generally only at the eighth rank, so what if they are at the ninth rank? He knew Crocell’s strength very well. With the Insight Technique, he was almost impossible to fail under the same cultivation level, unless the opponent already had a domain. However, he had already seen from the previous battle that Long Haochen was only an eighth-rank knight!

On the other side, Qiu Yonghao also showed an unbelievable expression, but unlike Baimon, his incredulity was full of surprise. After fighting with the demons for so many years, he of course knew what the extinguishing of a demon god pillar meant. The demon god pillar of Crocell, the Insight Demon God who had given him a headache, had been extinguished. He was dead. This was simply the best news possible! For a moment, Qiu Yonghao couldn’t help but laugh loudly and said loudly: “The Insight Demon God Crocell is dead.”

Inspired by his reminder, the entire Southeast Fortress suddenly became a sea of joy. Cheers rose and fell. Although the warriors were already very tired, they were inspired by this good news, and for a time, the powerhouses of the Warrior Temple were all filled with excitement.

Only Long Haochen’s companions couldn’t laugh. Crocell, the Insight Demon God, was indeed likely killed by Long Haochen, but Long Haochen had not returned! If it weren’t for the fact that Long Haochen hadn’t cut off the connection of the Soul Chains and hadn’t shown any signs of being injured, they would probably be even more anxious.

All they could do now was to continue waiting.

After a brief period of disbelief, Baimon gradually calmed down. The extinguishing of a demon god pillar would undoubtedly hit the morale of the demons hard. At this time, even if he wanted to take revenge, it was not a good time to launch an attack. He had no choice but to order a retreat.

At this time, Qiu Yonghao ordered to clean up the battlefield, and this war finally came to a temporary end. But the hatred between the demons and humans only deepened.

Qiu Yonghao flew to Wang Yuanyuan’s side and asked in a low voice: “He hasn’t come back yet?”

Wang Yuanyuan nodded and said, “Judging from the situation, the Acting Holy Knight Commander should be fine. However, before he returns, anything can happen. We have to wait here for him to come back before we can rest assured.”

They waited for a full hour. When the dazzling golden light lit up in the place where Long Haochen had disappeared before, and when he reappeared on the Southeast Fortress wall with Crocell’s body, the members of the Sixty-Fourth Mithril Hunter Squad truly cheered.

Casually throwing Crocell’s body to Lin Xin, Long Haochen respectfully saluted Qiu Yonghao, “Mithril Twelve, Acting Holy Knight Commander of the Knight Temple, greets Temple Master.”

Qiu Yonghao laughed and said, “We’re all our own people, why be so polite? Just because you’re wearing this metal shell doesn’t mean I can’t recognize you? I really didn’t expect that you would have grown to this extent in such a short period of time. I really regret it! I should have forcibly kept you here.” If he couldn’t recognize the Holy Knight Commander in front of him after hearing Long Haochen’s voice, then he would have lived in vain for more than a hundred years.

Long Haochen said somewhat awkwardly: “Temple Master, you think too highly of me.”

Qiu Yonghao looked at the frozen corpse in Lin Xin’s hands, “You really killed the Insight Demon God in a one-on-one duel?”

Long Haochen smiled wryly: “It can’t be said to be a one-on-one duel. However, this is my secret.”

Qiu Yonghao said: “Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. You all come back to the Warrior Temple with me, rest well first, and then I’ll give you a welcome feast.”

Not to mention that Long Haochen was already indebted to the Warrior Temple, and Qiu Yonghao valued him highly. Just based on the merits he had established for the Warrior Temple today and his status as the Acting Holy Knight Commander, he deserved Qiu Yonghao’s personal reception.

Compared with the Mage Temple, the Warrior Temple was obviously much more enthusiastic about the arrival of Long Haochen and others, arranging for them to live in a beautifully decorated house behind the Warrior Temple. Qiu Yonghao personally led the high-level officials of the Warrior Temple and personally held a welcome feast for Long Haochen and the others after they had rested for a day.

Long Haochen handed Long Tianyin’s letter to Qiu Yonghao, and his mission to the Warrior Temple this time was actually completed. Killing a ninth-rank demon god like Crocell directly gave him a million merits. Qiu Yonghao was not stingy either. Crocell’s death was extremely important to the Warrior Temple. Therefore, he specially rewarded Long Haochen with another 500,000 merits.

By this time, even Long Haochen himself didn’t know how many merit points were stored in his merit token. But what was certain was that it was definitely an astronomical figure. Three demon gods had died in their hands one after another, and the death of the Flame Lion Demon Anluoxian was also closely related to him.

Whether it was luck or strength, the demons had lost four of the seventy-two demon god pillars on the main battlefield, and none of the demon god crowns had escaped. At least, they would not be able to recover in decades. This was definitely the most direct blow to the demons.

After killing the Insight Demon God, Long Haochen felt that he had made a great enough contribution to the Southeast Fortress. They could leave here immediately and continue south to meet up with the others. However, Long Haochen was not in a hurry. Because he still had more important things to do. At the same time, he also needed time to recover his body.

Whether it was because Crocell’s death was a big blow to the demons, the demons ceased their attacks and did not launch any more offensives. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Long Haochen had fully realized the terrifying nature of sacrificial skills in these seven days. It was the sacrificial skill that gave him the strength to kill Crocell, but also made him weak for seven days before he fully recovered.

The experience of fighting demon gods was very important. Long Haochen deliberately told the entire process to his companions, including Zhang Fangfang.

From Wang Yuanyuan, Long Haochen learned everything that Zhang Fangfang had done for her. This Hunter Squad leader who had lost his companions could be considered to have truly gained the trust of Long Haochen and others. Zhang Fangfang’s situation was different from Li Xin’s. He was alone and a knight himself. It could be said that he had no worries. After discussing with his companions, Long Haochen decided to temporarily absorb him into the Sixty-Fourth Mithril Hunter Squad.

Although it exceeded the Hunter Squad’s staffing, this was after all Zhang Fangfang’s own wish, and the situation of Long Haochen and his team was special. He just wouldn’t report to the Hunter Squad Mission Tower. As for the Knight Temple, it was even less of a problem. He was now the Acting Holy Knight Commander, and he didn’t need to report to anyone to transfer a Temple Knight to follow him.

“Is everyone ready?” Long Haochen looked at his companions beside him.

At this time, everyone was in full armor. After a week of rest, Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang had also fully recovered. At this time, she was full of energy, her cold killing intent was restrained, and compared with two years ago, she was more mature in cultivation, willpower, and body.

Zhang Fangfang was more restrained. Even Long Haochen couldn’t compare with his calm demeanor. After all, Zhang Fangfang had more experience in terms of age.

Hearing Long Haochen’s question, everyone nodded. At this time, they stood around Long Haochen in a circle, looking as if they were ready to jump into battle at any time.

Long Haochen said: “Haoyue is about to evolve again, and it is likely to evolve into a sixth head. Although the last evolution was very smooth, we still can’t help but be prepared. I’m starting.”

After receiving a definite answer from his companions again, a golden light flashed in Long Haochen’s eyes, and he activated Eternal Melody. He brought everyone into the Eternal Tower, and then he teleported back to the previous room alone and activated the Blood Pact Teleportation with Haoyue.

That day, during the battle with the Insight Demon God Crocell, Long Haochen discovered that Haoyue was already on the verge of evolution. With Crocell’s demon god crown promoting it, evolution would definitely be no problem. But from Haoyue’s mood at the time, he could feel that this evolution would probably not be as smooth as when it evolved its fifth head. Therefore, Long Haochen stayed with his companions in the Southeast Fortress. After he had fully recovered his strength, the first thing he had to do was to help Haoyue successfully evolve, and then carry out the next action.

Without Long Haochen explaining anything, his companions also understood the importance of Haoyue’s evolution. Not to mention the close relationship between Haoyue and Long Haochen, just its ability to destroy the demon god pillars could be said to be the trump card of the Sixty-Fourth Mithril Hunter Squad.

With a flash of purple light, Long Haochen came to that world of darkness and fire again. Haoyue was still in a cave. Long Haochen’s arrival made it very excited, and the five big heads immediately came up to show their affection. A pair of huge wings behind it also opened.

As its body grew larger and larger, Haoyue also appeared more and more mighty. Although its cultivation was only at the peak of the seventh rank, Long Haochen always felt that Haoyue’s true strength was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

“Haoyue, are you ready?” Long Haochen stroked their big heads one by one.

The five heads, led by Xiaoguang, nodded at the same time, with a bit of excitement, but also a bit of nervousness.

“Don’t worry, I will do my best to protect you.” Long Haochen comforted.

Haoyue conveyed a thought to Long Haochen, actually wanting to take him outside the cave to evolve.

Although Long Haochen was strange, he didn’t ask much. Haoyue must have its own intentions for doing this.
