Chapter 544: Reflecting the Forbidden Spell (III)

However, their trip still had to continue. Their next stop was the Tombal Mountain Pass, where they would meet with Lin Xin.

At the time of his departure from the Knight Temple, Long Haochen didn’t think that he could really gather a million contribution points per Temple, but as a matter of fact, he did far more for the Exorcist Mountain than what would be worth a million contribution points. This would be sure to gain him fame.

He became even more eager to meet with the others, and reform the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad.

The few battles he had after his return had already built ample fame for Long Haochen. He was already a powerhouse of the top tier, who had the ability to put up a fight even against a demon powerhouse of the ninth step. Long Haochen was itching to make a proper contribution to thank the Alliance for their tolerance towards him. Only the demon territory, the enemy’s rear could serve as his perfect stage. In there, he could unleash all his strength without having the slightest thing to worry about.

Star King turned around and propelled himself forward, immediately lifting himself up in the air with Long Haochen and Cai’er on his back, soaring towards the south. Han Yu followed closely behind using his own spiritual wings.

Of the seven members composing the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad, three were already gathered, and the others would soon be retrieved.

Star King flew hurriedly, yet on his back, no turbulent stream of air was felt. It was as if they were seated on the ground.

Han Yu was already at the seventh step of cultivation, therefore the support of his spiritual wings was sufficient to maintain flight for a time. Long Haochen had originally planned to invite him to ride Star King alongside them, after all Star King had a very large build, giving abundant space. But Han Yu still gave his refusal, as he didn’t want to act as an unwanted third wheel, thus disturbing the other two.

However, Han Yu was not empty of envy at the sight of them. In the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen had Cai’er, Lin Xin had Li Xin, Wang Yuanyuan had Zhang Fangfang, Chen Ying’er had her fiancé, and even Sima Xian had his own target, that little white flower’. Only Han Yu remained as a solitary man, and when it comes to such things, he couldn’t possibly have no interest at all.

He also had an image in his mind, but it wasn’t very clear and therefore, he had yet to take any initiative.

Han Yu’s point of view was different from the others. As a Demon Hunter and Long Haochen’s retainer knight, he had a single goal, which was to accompany him closely, and increase his strength. He had the hope to fight alongside him one day, fighting shoulder to shoulder, both clad in Divine Thrones transformed into armor.

Although he felt that the gap between Haochen and him only kept growing, these thoughts had yet to disappear. A chance could only appear if he made the necessary effort. Without effort, there won’t be even a chance. He wasn’t the Scion of Light, and already did all he could. He had to keep doing his best to keep chasing after him.

During the year and a half spent in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while Long Haochen was still in seclusion, Han Yu was amazed to find out that among their peers, almost no one could compare with him. The gap separating them was indeed considerable, but by looking from another point of view, he found out that, actually, he too was seen as a genius in the eyes of the other knights.

Taking the long view, chasing after Long Haochen already made him a genius. And following the Scion of Light in his battles made his progress considerably faster.

The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass and the Exorcist Mountain Pass are rather distant, but the Exorcist Mountain Pass and the Tombal Mountain Pass are relatively close. Looking at the terrain, the Tombal Mountain Pass is quite elevated. Despite being not as dangerous, it remained a considerably strategic terrain.

On the left side of the Tombal Montain was a huge lake, at its back, a considerably tall plateau, and on the right side was the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Among the Six Great Temples, the most stably defended was the Tombal Mountain Pass. This was because of the extremely terrifying destructive power wielded by mages.

Of the Six Great Temples, the only one able to compare with the Knight Temple in terms of overall strength was the Mage Temple. And the fighting strength mages could deploy in the battlefield was even greater than knights.

Furthermore, the Mage Temple was on good terms with the Warrior Temple, who gave them considerable support. The pairing of these two made the Tombal Mountain Pass invulnerable to attack.

Over more than a year of the Holy War, the Tombal Mountain Pass had received the least help from the Alliance. Relying on their strong attacking power, they didn’t let the demons attack their fortress much.
