“No.” Before Long Haochen could speak, Chen Ying’er had already resolutely refused. “Grandma, we are already a titled demon hunt squad. You no longer have the right to stop us. I must go with the boss and the others. We will definitely carry out the mission.”
A light flashed in Chen Hongyu’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice, “Okay. You can go, but you must prove to me with your strength that you have the ability to protect yourselves.”
Chen Ying’er was stunned. She didn’t expect her grandfather to agree so readily. “How to prove it?”
Chen Hongyu said in a deep voice, “As long as you and your partners can defeat me, I will admit that you have the ability to protect yourselves.”
“That’s impossible.” Chen Ying’er immediately understood. Grandpa was trying to save the country by a different route! He agreed on the surface, but used another way to make things difficult for them. Chen Hongyu was also a veteran powerhouse of the Temple Alliance, a powerful Tier 3 Spiritualist. His inner spiritual power cultivation reached 300,000.
Of course, for summoners, spiritual power is not the absolute factor determining strength, because what matters more to summoners is their summons, and spiritual power is their necessary backup support. Therefore, in the Soul Temple, Tier 9 powerhouses are the most among the six major temples. But their overall strength is not the strongest. Summoners usually cultivate spiritual power in addition to summoning magic, and have no other skills. They specialize in spiritual power, so naturally they are much stronger in this regard.
Simply put, if Chen Hongyu with 300,000 spiritual power were to face Long Tianyin with 200,000 spiritual power, he would definitely lose. However, on the battlefield, facing thousands of enemies, Chen Hongyu’s role would be much greater than Long Tianyin’s.
Chen Hongyu said displeased, “If that’s the case, don’t mention leaving again. Don’t you think I know what you’re planning? If I let you rejoin the team, you will immediately go with them to rescue Yang Wenzhao.”
Yang Wenzhao? Long Haochen’s heart stirred when he heard this name. In their demon hunt squad selection competition, he, Yang Wenzhao, and Duan Yi were known as the three major hopes of the younger generation of the Knight Temple. However, it had been a long time since he had seen Yang Wenzhao. And Yang Wenzhao was not only Chen Ying’er’s fiancé, but also the grandson of Yang Haohan, the Divine Knight of Defense and Coordination, the Temple Master of the Knight Temple.
“Ying’er, what’s going on? What happened to Yang Wenzhao?” Long Haochen quickly asked Chen Ying’er.
Hearing his question, Chen Ying’er’s eyes turned red again. “He… he was captured by the demons. His life and death are unknown.”
It turned out that the two demon hunt squads led by Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi entered the demon territory to fight behind enemy lines after the Holy War began.
Among the new generation of demon hunt squads, they were among the best. Overall, the quality of the team members was not much worse than Long Haochen’s back then. After constantly fighting with the demons in the war, their strength had greatly improved. In addition, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were both smart people with meticulous minds and proper command skills. They had been doing well in the demon territory. They completed many difficult tasks.
As time went by and their practical abilities improved, these two demon hunt squads became Marshal-level demon hunt squads after Long Haochen and the others.
Although they took different routes, the four demon hunt squads led by Long Haochen, Lu Xi, Yang Wenzhao, and Duan Yi were now all above the Marshal level. Their demon hunt squads had been established for less than five years, which was an incredible feat in the history of demon hunt squads.
However, the two demon hunt squads led by Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi still had an accident.
The Holy War had been going on for almost two years, and they had been fighting in the demon territory, returning to the Alliance for supplies almost only once a year. Not long ago, when they were intercepting a demon transport team in the demon territory, the original plan was very detailed and the tactics were very complete. The foolproof mission suffered a Waterloo. The reason was very simple. They were unlucky enough to encounter a demon god.
Speaking of which, this was also related to Long Haochen. The demon god they encountered was preparing to enter the front line and then detour to the Devil Suppression Pass to provide support.
Among the demons stationed outside the major human fortresses during the Holy War, the eight demon gods outside the Devil Suppression Pass were the weakest overall. The commander was only the Emotion Demon God, Xidi. When Long Haochen and the others were at the Devil Suppression Pass, they helped the Devil Suppression Pass kill two demon gods, and Xidi himself was seriously injured. In this case, the demons naturally had to pay close attention to the Devil Suppression Pass and immediately sent a demon god to follow the transport team to replenish the demons’ strength there.
And this demon god was ranked quite high, within the top twenty-four. He was a veteran demon powerhouse.
As a result, the two demon hunt squads led by Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi ran into a brick wall. Although this demon god did not carry his demon god pillar, his own strength was far beyond what they could contend with. The final result was tragic. The two demon hunt squads were almost completely wiped out. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were seriously injured and captured. The only survivor who escaped was the assassin from Duan Yi’s team. He came back to report the news.
The incident happened closest to the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass. After the assassin passed the news back, he died of his injuries.
How could Chen Ying’er not be anxious after receiving this news? She panicked for a while. And this news had just arrived yesterday. Originally, Chen Hongyu and Granny San Shui didn’t plan to tell Chen Ying’er the news, but she accidentally found out.
After listening to Chen Ying’er’s account, Long Haochen’s face suddenly became very ugly. Not to mention that everyone was a member of the demon hunt squad, for the Knight Temple, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were both rare talents! They were both genius knights who might be able to challenge the Divine Knight in the future. They were captured, and from any point of view, Long Haochen had to rescue them. Even if they might not be successful with their current strength, he had to try. Long Haochen always remembered Yang Haohan’s care for him. Without the support of the Temple Master of the Knight Temple, he might have been sent to the Demon God Emperor before the Holy War even started.

Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen looked at Chen Hongyu and said in a deep voice, “Senior, I agree to your proposal just now. I am willing to challenge you with my partners. However, I hope you can relax your conditions. At least you can not use equipment when facing us juniors, right?”
Chen Hongyu didn’t expect Long Haochen to agree to his obviously bullying test after thinking about it. For a moment, there was no room for change. However, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of appreciation for Long Haochen. This young man’s decision to lead his team to challenge him meant that he had made up his mind to rescue Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao.
If his granddaughter hadn’t joined them, Chen Hongyu would have loved to see a powerful demon hunt squad do this. However, involving his granddaughter, how could he want Chen Ying’er to take risks? However, he had already said those words before, and it was impossible to take them back now. As a Temple Master, how could he go back on his word?
“Okay, I won’t use equipment to accept your challenge. You can choose the time. It will be in the coliseum of my Soul Temple.”
Long Haochen nodded slightly and said, “Temple Master Chen, we and Ying’er haven’t seen each other for a long time. Please allow Ying’er to reunite with us. It will also be convenient for us to arrange tactics.”
“Hmm. That’s fine. However, if you want to leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass like this, then you will always be considered unwelcome by my Soul Temple. At the same time, I will use the power of the temple to stop you.”
Long Haochen said, “Don’t worry, this will never happen.” After saying that, he gave Chen Hongyu a standard knight salute, put on his mask again, and walked out with Chen Ying’er.
“Boss, I…” As soon as they went out, Chen Ying’er grabbed Long Haochen’s arm again. Overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn’t help but cry again.
Long Haochen touched her head. “Silly girl, what are you crying about? Were the missions we faced before easy? Even if it wasn’t for your reason, if I found out that Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were captured by the enemy, I would definitely do my best to rescue them. Calm down first. We’ll rest and prepare for your grandfather’s test. You are the most familiar with Temple Master Chen, and we need you to explain everything to everyone.”
“Mmm, mmm.” Chen Ying’er nodded repeatedly. For some reason, after Long Haochen arrived, the anxiety and impatience in her heart obviously decreased a lot. This was a habit that had been built up when she was with Long Haochen in the past. It seemed that as long as the team leader was there, no problem would be a problem. That sense of security had gradually formed over a long period of time and was deeply rooted in Chen Ying’er’s heart.
Long Haochen took her to the place arranged for them to rest by the Soul Temple. Reuniting with her partners was naturally a joyous occasion, especially between Chen Ying’er and Wang Yuanyuan. They were good friends and sisters. Seeing each other again, they screamed with excitement, causing everyone’s emotions to become excited.
The joy of reunion was quickly diluted by reality. After calming down, Chen Ying’er told everyone what had happened before.
After listening to her account, everyone’s eyes fell on Long Haochen, waiting for his decision.
Long Haochen said, “We must pass Temple Master Chen’s test, otherwise, he won’t let us take Ying’er away. Han Yu, I need to trouble you to make a trip. Ride Star King to the Zhennan Pass and bring Sima back. Only by concentrating all our strength can we have a chance to win this competition.”
Han Yu nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go right away.”
Long Haochen took him to an open space outside, summoned Star King, told him a few words, and then Han Yu rode Star King and immediately set off towards the south.
