Maple Leaf Show suddenly laughed. His emotions seemed to calm down at this moment, and he said coldly, “The Holy War is over. Agares, go and have all the troops withdraw. After all, some human blood flows in him, and he has died in my hands for the continuation of our race. Within ten years, our race will no longer actively attack humans, to commemorate his spirit in heaven.”

His gaze suddenly softened again, “Child, you didn’t even know the relationship between you and me when you died. All I can do for you is this. There’s a saying among humans, ‘Even tigers don’t eat their cubs,’ meaning that even the most ruthless person won’t kill their own children or relatives. But I killed you, killed you for the continuation of my race. You are my relative, my relative! Haha, hahahaha…”

The Demon God Emperor’s hysterical laughter once again caused the Star Demon Tower to shake violently. All the confinement power within the Star Demon Tower was ignited by him in this instant, barely maintaining the tower with the Star Demon God Pillar from collapsing.

“Bang, bang, bang…” The members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad landed almost one after another.

The Demon God Emperor actually let them go, but at this time, they only felt endless sorrow and pain in their hearts.

Caier hugged Long Haochen’s body, her back landing on the ground, preventing him from suffering any further impact. She used the strength of her slender waist to straighten up from the ground.

Sima Xian rolled on the ground once while holding the Light of Might Pill and stood up. His eyes were completely red, and he swung the Light of Might Pill and rushed back, “I’ll fight them!”

“Stop.” A cold shout rang out like thunder, and Caier’s extremely cold voice stopped Sima Xian abruptly.

The members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad were also attracted by her loud shout and looked at her at the same time. Caier’s eyes were full of determination and death, with cold light overflowing. She coldly glanced around the crowd, “Come with me.” In her voice, there was an unquestionable majesty. At this moment, the members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad felt as if the Cycle Saintess, who was once so domineering in the Hunter Squad Selection Competition, had returned. Their will was also completely swayed by Caier’s voice.

Traces of blood and tears still remained on Caier’s face. Looking at her, no matter how much pain and sorrow the members of the Dawn of Light felt in their hearts, no one would object to her words at this time. Yes! How could their sorrow compare to Caier’s?

“Come with me.” Caier shouted coldly, hugging Long Haochen tightly and rising into the air. She didn’t avoid the powerful demons who had already surrounded the area from all directions. A pair of gray spirit wings opened suddenly behind her, propelling her body into the distance.

Around the Star Demon Palace, a large number of powerful members of the Reverse Sky Demon Dragon Clan, Moon Demon Clan, and Star Demon Clan were suspended in the air. But not one dared to attack her. They had all heard the Demon God Emperor’s words very clearly. Who would dare to disobey?

A’Bao, wearing deep purple armor, stood quietly on the wall, watching Caier fly away with Long Haochen in her arms. For a moment, his eyes became somewhat lost. He only felt as if he had lost something in his heart.

Only he himself knew how much he had paid in the past two years. His almost insane cultivation had allowed his strength to leap forward in quality more than once. But at this moment, he realized that his opponent was gone. Long Haochen, held by Caier, had clearly lost his vitality. The hole in his chest looked so glaring.

He was dead? He actually died? Died in his father’s hands.

A’Bao didn’t feel a trace of relief. Instead, his heart was filled with unwillingness. He wanted to defeat him with his own hands! But Long Haochen died just like that, died in his own father’s hands. He didn’t have the right to question it, but he knew that this would be the greatest regret of his life. Long Haochen was dead, and he would never be able to prove to Moon Night that he was stronger than him.

The members of the Dawn of Light released their spirit wings and followed Caier, flying away together. Cold tears couldn’t help but flow freely down their faces. Even the light released from their spirit wings fluctuated violently because of this.

Gliding through the air, Caier’s gaze remained fixed on Long Haochen’s pale, bloodless face. He was still so handsome, but he no longer had a trace of vitality.

Her memories had returned, but he was gone. He hadn’t even said a word to her after she regained her memories.

Caier didn’t cry anymore, because in her heart, there was still one last hope. The last hope that arose the moment she touched Long Haochen’s body. If it weren’t for this glimmer of hope, she would never have survived alone inside the Star Demon Tower. She would definitely have followed Long Haochen.

In rapid flight, they quickly flew out of the Demon Capital, leaving behind the city that had brought them endless sorrow and pain.

After flying for a full half an hour, Caier, holding Long Haochen, suddenly retracted her wings and fell towards the ground.

Although the members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad didn’t understand, they still followed her down.

Although Long Haochen was dead, because Zhang Fangfang was still alive, their Hunter Squad still maintained a complete structure. Long Haochen’s words before his death had been echoing in their hearts. They couldn’t just die like this. They had to avenge their captain. One day, they would return to the Demon Capital.

This was a not-so-dense forest. Caier held Long Haochen and went straight into it, carefully placing him on a flat lawn.

The members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad automatically gathered around, surrounding him. Chen Ying’er burst into tears. The tears in the eyes of the others also couldn’t be stopped.

Caier slowly squatted down, her gaze drawn to the blue ring on her hand, the Forget-Me-Not ring. He had returned it to her.

Gently taking off the ring, Caier raised Long Haochen’s left hand and put it on his ring finger.

“Silly, why did you return it to me! It already belonged to you forever, like my heart.”

As she spoke, Caier raised her hand and slowly took off the Eternal Melody necklace from Long Haochen’s neck. The golden skull that popped out from Long Haochen’s chest shone brightly in the air.

Taking a deep breath, a determined light flashed in her eyes. She slowly put on the key that still held Long Haochen’s body warmth and was connected to the Eternal Tower around her neck.

The moment the Eternal Melody came into contact with her body, it burst into golden light. The skull head swooshed and drilled into Caier’s clothes, closely combining with her body, just like it did when it was with Long Haochen.

The Eternal Tower needed a spokesperson in the human world. Long Haochen had died in the Demon God Emperor’s restrictive barrier and was no longer of any value. Of course, it had to choose a new spokesperson. This had nothing to do with the Necromancer Disaster Illyas choosing a successor. The Eternal Tower had become more greedy after constantly obtaining souls from this world. Its autonomous consciousness had also become stronger.

“Let’s go.” Caier scanned her companions and said these three words lightly. A strong golden light suddenly burst out from her chest, just like when Long Haochen had teleported them, engulfing everyone in it. The golden light flashed, and they entered the space shuttle.

When the light flashed again, they had returned to the Eternal Tower.

The Eternal Tower still had a strong death aura, but at this moment, the eyes of the members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad were also filled with deathly silence.

Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi had been anxiously waiting for their return. Seeing them return, the two quickly ran over. However, their pace quickly slowed down, and their eyes froze in an instant. Because they saw Long Haochen lying motionless on the ground with a fatal wound on his chest. They saw his pale, bloodless, handsome face.

The captain of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad, the Son of Light, had fallen in battle.

“How could this be?” Yang Wenzhao said in a lost voice.

Chen Ying’er suddenly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Duan Yi didn’t ask. He just slowly knelt on one knee, his right fist placed heavily on his left chest, and gave Long Haochen a knight’s salute.

Demons and humans had been fighting for six thousand years. Since the arrival of the Dark Ages, how many humans had died at the hands of the demons like Long Haochen before him? He didn’t need to know anything more. The result was right in front of him. Long Haochen was dead.

Caier squatted down and gently held Long Haochen in her arms, murmuring, “Come out, come out quickly. Come out!”

Everyone didn’t understand what she was saying, but at this time, Caier’s cold eyes were filled with anxiety.

Just as they were wondering, suddenly, a green light quietly emerged from Long Haochen’s Fine Gold Foundation Armor. This green light looked very weak, as weak as a wisp of smoke, as if it could dissipate at any time.

A weak voice also sounded in this green smoke, “He is dead. The contract between me and him is also gradually disappearing. All I can do is protect his soul from dissipating within seven days. But you only have seven days. The only chance to resurrect him is in this Eternal Tower. Only if you obtain the inheritance of the Lord of this Tower, with the mysteries of light-based undead magic, can you possibly restore his soul and recast his heart. If he can be resurrected, the contract I left on him will be restored. Otherwise, after seven days, his soul will dissipate, and his soul will be imprisoned in this Eternal Tower, never to be reincarnated. Therefore, if you cannot resurrect him within seven days, take him away from here, at least so that his soul does not suffer here.”
