Chapter 465: Returning in the Exorcist Mountain Pass (III) (2/2)

Sheng Yue had a great startle. Making a guess was one thing, but getting a confirmation of the fact was another. Just how old was he? Absolutely below twenty. Wasn’t he just fourteen of fifteen the last time they met? Just how many year has it been since then? And already at the seventh step? Then it was no wonder that the Demon God Emperor would want to capture this guy. Seventh step, is he at this stage for real? At what age did I reach that level back then? Wasn’t it at thirty five?

Sweeping his look on the whole group once again, the look on Sheng Yue’s face finally appeased. Of course, his cold demeanor sounded laughable when coming from such a sorry looking shape… Of course, Long Haochen’s group absolutely didn’t dare laugh out loudly?

Right at this time, severe knocks sounded out from the outside.

“The situation is all right here. I am the one who brought an imitator to mimic the dragon aura of a Devil Dragon.” Sheng Yue shouted out. He could obviously not let himself be seen by his subordinates to avoid losing all face.

Hearing him, everyone outside immediately calmed down.

Sheng Yue stared fixedly at Long Haochen for quite a long time, nodding, “Not bad. These past few years, you seem to have matured quite a lot, and your strength grew quite a bit. You have finally made it back. The fourth Hidden Knight should have already told you. The Holy War has started.”

Long Haochen nodded, “Great-grandfather, the blame is on me. I am willing to accept whatever punishment is dealt by the Alliance?”

“Getting dealt by?” Sheng Yue’s voice was abruptly raised up, “Farts! What fault is on you, do you think of yourself to be qualified enough? What are you to put your head in affairs you have nothing to do with? Just tell if you want to be beaten up. Can the Holy War between the demons and the Alliance be started over a single person?”

Although Sheng Yue’s words sounded harsh, he took a reprimanding tone intentionally. But Long Haochen felt warm , naturally able to sense Sheng Yue’s concern from his words.

Long Haochen took a deep breath, following the talk, “Great-grandfather, it’s really the case. Listen to me, this matter is very important to the Alliance. No matter what decision you take, I won’t have any complaint. I won’t hide from the Alliance either, I trust that you will make the best choice.”

Seeing Long Haochen’s serious look, Sheng Yue suddenly realized that things weren’t as simple as he imagined. Wrinkling his brows, he covered the whole room in an ice-cold layer, covering the whole room.

“What do you want to say?” Sheng Yue wrinkled his brows.

Long Haochen replied, “Great-grandfather, I am certainly the cause why the Demon God Emperor started this Holy War. About this, even my comrades don’t know, but as the person involved, I am very clear of the cause why the Holy War started. I feel very sad about it. I really don’t want to see the people being put in terrible situation. But this matter is related to my closest comrade. There’s no way I could hand him over, so I ask the Alliance to take the final decision. No matter how the Alliance decides to handle me, I will accept the treatment.”

Hearing such serious words, not only Sheng Yue had an unsightly expression, but the same went for his comrades with the only exception being the dazed Cai’er. The others were all opening their eyes wide in shock. They were also full of questions about the motives of the Demon God Emperor. Hearing Haochen’s words, that this Holy War was indeed related to him.

“

Sheng Yue’s cheek showed signs of twitchingsquirming/wiggling(?). His voice suddenly became more gentle, “Boy, don’t worry. You great-grandfather is listening to you.

”

You know, no matter what happens, your great-grandfather will be standing on your side. No one can punish my great-grandson. And you have to remember, don’t ever tell someone else about what you told me. Even inside the Alliance, not everyone thinks the same as me. Now tell me what you have in heart. As long as I can be of help, I will give my all to help you.”

“Yes.” Seeing Sheng Yue’s concerned look, Long Haochen nodded with all his force. He almost had an urge to cry. Sheng Yue was Cai’er’s great-grandfather, but this time, he felt a strong warmth feeling emanating from this irascible old man. And family love had always been Long Haochen’s weak spot.

“Great-grandfather, at the time we left the Alliance, we took a total of sixteen Slaughter Missions. Less than half a year later, we have succeeded in completing all of them. Among these missions, the hardest one was to kill the last ranked demon god Andromalius.”

Sheng Yue was once again in great shock, “What? Are you saying that you killed a demon god? Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius?”

“……”

Long Haochen nodded in reply, “A great part of it was related to luck.” At that moment, he detailed the matter of their encounter with the Devil Snake Demon God, and how they took advantage of the conflict between the Forest Boa King and Andromalius, and how both sides ended up close to killing each other.

“A great achievement. Even an Emperor grade Demon Hunt wouldn’t necessarily manage to kill a demon god under the protection of his demon god pillar. With such an achievement when you are not even in your twenties, you guys are simply legends for the Alliance.” Even with his harsh character, Sheng Yue couldn’t help but feel amazed hearing Long Haochen’s story. These children risked their lives and at such young age to kill a demon god, this was truly a huge achievement.
