Returning in the Exorcist Mountain Pass (I)
Hearing Cai’er’s question, the fourth Heroic Knight let out a laugh, “Accepted? How could we possibly have accepted? If that was the case, why would the Demon God Emperor even send his second legion to ambush us?”
“Regarding the condition proposed by the Demon God Emperor, the Alliance diverged into two different sides. The first one was mainly supported by the Knight Temple, our Assassin Temple and the Warrior Temple’s leaders. They were all violently opposed to delivering Long Haochen, and had no margin for negotiation. In particular, the Knight Temple expressed that if they decided to hand Long Haochen over, they would choose to quit the Alliance.”
“What?!” Hearing the fourth Heroic Knight’s words, Long Haochen immediately felt his blood rise, his entire body shivering. The Knight Temple would actually quit the Alliance just for my sake?
The fourth Heroic Knight continued, “The Warrior Temple’s reaction wasn’t much inferior to the Knight Temple’s. Qiu Haohan flipped a table, his eyes wide open. Mentioning it, as the chief of the Temple Alliance, Yang Haohan shouldn’t be so categorical in his decision. Qiu Yonghao was the one who forced him to act this way. He said that if the Knight Temple was prepared to abandon you, the Warrior Temple would spare no cost to defend you. Then in our Assassin Temple’s side, Temple Head Sheng Yue mentioned that as his grandson-in-law that you were, whoever tries to hand you over would have to step on his corpse to do that.”
Reaching this point, the fourth Hidden Assassin Hero’s face expression became odd. At the time of the meeting, he was also present as a representative for the Assassin Temple, and still remembered that weird situation very clearly.
The Six Great Temples’ representatives hadn’t even started the meeting as Qiu Yonghao made this declaration. Afterwards, senior Alliance Chief expressed that Long Haochen was the only successor for the Knight Temple. If the Alliance came to the final decision of handing him over, the Knight Temple would quit the Alliance. Adding to that Sheng Yue’s declaration, total silence reigned over the whole room. Afterwards, chief Sheng Yue jumped up and down, shocking the heads of the three magic specializing Temples.
Originally, the Hidden Knight somewhat disapproved him. Wasn’t it just a youngster under twenty years-old? Even if he was particularly endowed, and even if the Temple Alliance didn’t plan on handing him over, there was no need for these Temples Heads to act so brazenly.
But finally, a change started to appear in his attitude ever since he met Long Heochen. Right! That’s a Demon Hunt Squad Captain who can bring a Commander Grade Demon Hunt Squad to forcibly block the way of the Demon Emperor’s second legion, and kill at least a fifth of them, wounding a third of their ranks. How could the Temple Heads not be concerned over such an issue? Given enough time, this youngster would surely become a legend for the Alliance in the future.
Hearing the words of the fourth Heroic Assassin Knight, Long Haochen was already beyond an emotionally stirred state. His heart seemed close to combustion, despite his firm disposition. He absolutely didn’t expect that for his sake, these three Temple Heads would be so protective. Only by striving the utmost to serve the Alliance can he then repay these deep emotions.
The talk continued, “From the attitudes of these three seniors, the atmosphere of the whole meeting changed. Originally, many higher-ups of the Alliance were not familiar with you, but with that, you earned yourself a great reputation. Afterwards, the Mage Temple’s chief stepped in, leading three other hall masters that came on behalf of the Mage Temple, and calmed down everyone, before analyzing the condition of the Demon God Emperor. First of all, the matter of the congregation was the condition of the Demon God Emperor, claiming a single person, and whether he would be taken out as a bargaining chip to avoid the start of a Holy War. This was in itself unusual.
Of the two possibilities, one was that they had originally planned on starting a Holy War, but were only looking for a pretext. And supposing you were already caught by the demons’, it would then make sense as we wouldn’t possibly be able to hand you over. The second possibility was that your existence could threaten the demons’ rule. Only this explanation would make him view you so importantly. But no matter which motive, you couldn’t possibly be handed over, so these three didn’t need to act so emotionally. This is simply called being blinded by one’s concern.”
Hearing the words of the fourth Hidden Knight, Long Haochen’s comrades finally relaxed down. Since the Alliance came to a consensus, Long Haochen was naturally safe.
The fourth Hidden Assassin Knight let out a smile, “The rest of the meeting turned out even more interesting. Long Haochen your inside information has been entirely revealed, as the Knight Temple couldn’t possibly keep the information related to you hidden. After all, this related to the whole Alliance, and the second part pertained on introducing everything regarding you.”
