Chapter 519: The hope of reforming the Demon Hunt Squad
Falling down, Long Haochen pressed down his both hands and took a deep breath, causing his figure to float like a feather.
The time was already close to daybreak, but the sky was still dusky. So his light elemental spiritual energy would really look conspicuous and inevitably make him overly obvious, therefore causing issues to rise. So he instead used very challenging methods to control his own fall.
This was all to avoid getting found out by the demons, the main reason being that he didn’t wish for them to know that he would need to return to the original location after teleporting to the Tower of Eternity. If this secret is known by the enemies, strategies will easily be planned to counter him, so Long Haochen preferred to be more prudent.
Luckily, he wasn’t too high in the sky. His distance to the ground was roughly of four hundred meters, therefore a series of acrobatics and propelling movements enabled him to lower his falling speed. When he was on the eve of reaching the ground, he then assumed a curling position, and put all his strength in his feet to perform a kick.
As a matter of fact, his current external spiritual energy was already over 20,000, making this full powered kick able to cause a huge shockwave and drop his falling speed.
His body landed onto the ground on an oblique posture, and after a series of rolls, he was propelled forward. The Gold Foundation Armor on him having also helped to neutralize a great amount of the pressure from the fall, Long Haochen stabilized after the series of rolls, jumped forward and rushed toward the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.
His powerful mental capacity showed its prowess in this situation as well, helping to conceal his figure as far as possible, during the whole way to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. It was only near arrival that defenders from the Knight Temple found out about his return.
A misunderstanding would naturally not arise: the Gold Foundation Armor on him was a symbol of his status, and moreover, he was the only one Gold Foundation Knight that hadn’t returned.
Thus, when Long Haochen arrived in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, high surges of acclamations and countless looks of respects were awaiting him.
Large areas of knights were watching Long Haochen with passionate eyes, violently beating their own armors on the chest with their fist as an indication of their respect of greatest order for Long Haochen.
This was their tribute to the newly appointed Saint Knight Head. Even the Divine Knight Long Tianying didn’t figure out how Long Haochen wounded severely Saminaga, to say nothing about the ordinary soldiers. In their eyes, this powerful Saint Knight Head had defeated the other party’s strongest demon god, and without being a Divine Knight. Therefore, in their eyes, it was as if the prefix provisional’ before his full title never existed. At the same time, this gave them an even greater confidence regarding this Holy War.
When Long Haochen stood in front of Long Tianying, his grandfather suddenly realized that he had no idea of what he should say. He was able to feel that Long Haochen was totally alright, and should have escaped to another space, but how did he just accomplish that?
There certainly existed some abilities that could shatter space for a short time after reaching the ninth step, but they required a very tranquil and stable environment to be used. But what about the time he passed through space? At that time, seven demon gods were joining hands against him, so who knew to which extent space was in havoc. But even in these circumstances, Long Haochen just crossed space; Long Tianying hadn’t the slightest idea of how to explain this mystery.
And Long Haochen was gone for so long, which was to say that he surely was at other fixed spatial coordinates, otherwise if he travelled back and forth in another space, he would forever have become unable to come back.
“Grandpa.” Long Haochen performed a knight salute to Long Tianying. His attitude became a lot warmer than before: at the time he was attacked by Saminaga, he sensed how Long Tianying was trying hard to rescue him. And before teleporting away, he saw Long Tianying by his own eyes. How couldn’t his approval toward his own grandfather not rise from that?
Long Tianying had a bitter smile on his face, “I don’t know what I should say right now. What was that pagoda that appeared and surrounded you at that time?”
After pondering for a short time, Long Haochen replied, “I don’t want to hide anything from you, but that’s a secret I am not allowed to tell. I can only tell you that it can actually only restrict the Demon God of Death Saminaga and no one else. And I am unable to control it as well. It just appeared on its own. I am connected spatially to it, and it was the one that teleported me away.”
To Long Haochen’s surprise, Long Tianying actually didn’t keep questioning him. His look became gentle, “Is your body all right? Saminaga didn’t injure you?”
Long Haochen shook his head, “I am all right, and can come to the battlefield at anytime. Grandpa, the day will rise soon away. The demons will probably be launching a retaliatory attack. I have already made my preparations for battle, and am waiting for your orders.”
Looking at him, Long Tianying became silent, then couldn’t help but show a little anger, “What order is there to give? Your judgement is wrong. I can tell you with certainty that today, we can be at 70% sure that demons won’t come to attack. Didn’t you see on your way back? Saminaga’s pillar has already lost all its light. This time, you inflicted him extremely serious damage: his Domain of Death was torn to shreds by your pagoda. Tell me what’s good with you? Your grandpa Yang and I have already told you to keep your strength concealed to avoid exposing your identity. And you kept concealed your abilities known of them, but relied on the ones unknown to them to gain the spotlight right away.
