Chapter 545: Mage Temple (I) (2/2)

Did they really, actually, break through the seal?

In fact, this seal used by the Mage Temple wasn’t extremely powerful, but would encounter no trouble stopping powerhouses of the seventh step. It was something specialized for defending against aerial demons. Its global defensive effects were top-notch, giving it perfect uses as an early warning.

That light elemental mage was only wanting to make things difficult for Long Haochen’s group, after all, from their looks, Long Haochen and Han Yu appeared to be knights. He was waiting for Long Haochen to request permission to enter the formation. But he didn’t think that they would really dare make a move against the Mage Temple’s magic formation. And the one who made the move wasn’t that knight, but the beauty beside him. From the instant burst of murderous spirit she unleashed, the light mage couldn’t help but feel an intense chill. Just what level did her cultivation reach!?

Star King entered, and this time Long Haochen didn’t wait for those three mages, making his way inside the Tombal Mountain Pass. As a respectful and patient person, Long Haochen had been enduring silently for long enough, but as the Provisional Saint Knight Head, he couldn’t be excessively passive.

The light mage gathered his thoughts, hastily chasing after Long Haochen’s crew.

Seeing them already enter the Tombal Mountain Pass, more than ten figures suddenly came soaring from below, meeting them in a haste.

“Don’t move!” An aged voice was heard, and the ten or so figures immediately scattered, surrounding Long Haochen’s group.

Star King’s wings were spread wide, standing in midair.

The ones blocking their way were all mages, led by an elder. The width of his wings exceeded eight meters, and around his body, viscous magic essence was fluctuating.

“Golden Foundation Knight? Hello. But, were you the ones who moved against our magic formation?”

Seeing the Golden Foundation Armor worn by Long Haochen, the old mage immediately lost all traces of enmity, and performed a mage salute in front of him.

Long Haochen returned the politeness with a knock from his fist on his armor, “Hello, I am the Provisional Saint Knight Head, you may call me Twelfth Golden Knight. In fact, we broke through, but it should only be a misunderstanding.”

Right after he said that, the light mage arrived, accompanied with two comrades. Seeing this elder, his expression showed a change, stepping forward to make salutations, “Hello, elder Fei.”

Seeing him, the expression on this elder Fei immediately eased up, “Xuan Yuan, what’s happening? How come this Provisional Saint Knight Head broke through our formation?”

In this speech came out the strong demeanor of the Mage Temple. Long Haochen just introduced himself as Saint Knight Head, yet he inquired of his own people first, and didn’t sound very polite.

Xuan Yuan looked embarrassed, and hastened, “Elder Fei, it’s my mistake. I had forgotten to give Saint Knight Head enough seal imprints, so his mount couldn’t enter. Therefore, they split the formation to enter.”

Hearing him speak so, the elder Fei burrowed his eyebrows, showing Long Haochen a smile, “So it was a misunderstanding. Provisional Saint Knight Head indeed has a good cultivation.”

Long Haochen showed an indifferent smile, “You flatter me. I’ll be asking you to guide me inside, elder.”

The elder Fei didn’t scold or blame Xuan Yuan, instead provoking him secretly, but Long Haochen acted as if he hadn’t heard anything: this was the Tombal Mountain Pass, and he came to stand off against the demons, not to look for trouble with the Mage Temple. Just let them cover themselves if that’s what they want.

“Please.” After sweeping a glance, elder Fei brought Long Haochen inside the Tombal Mountain Pass, as the other mages promptly scattered.

Xuan Yuan looked at Long Haochen’s group from behind, his eyes twinkling coldly, “What did the Knight Temple send this Provisional Saint Knight for?” Although Long Haochen hadn’t said anything to him, that disregard made Xuan Yuan indignant. Ever since elder Fei had appeared, Long Haochen didn’t even sweep a glance at him. As a highly proud talent from the Mage Temple, this felt extremely provoking in his eyes.

Elder Fei kept guiding Long Haochen’s crew inside the Tombal Mountain Pass. Star King having landed on the ground, Long Haochen also landed along with Cai’er. This was étiquette: it wasn’t very polite for one to be riding his mount in another’s territory outside of battle times .

The elder Fei couldn’t help but secretly nod in impressiveness, thinking, This Provisional Saint Knight actually has quite a good self restraint. He understood more than necessary Xuan Yuan’s bad temper, and that he surely had provoked the other side. But as the struggle for power between the Mage Temple and the Knight Temple was in question, he had no other choice but to stand for Xuan Yuan. Though he couldn’t help but have a quite favorable impression from seeing Long Haochen’s behavior.

“Saint Knight Head, I will bring you to rest in our Temple. And I will inform Temple Head in a bit.” Elder Fei having gotten a favorable opinion of Long Haochen, he also became a lot more polite. The status of Saint Knight Head was certainly sufficient.

“Then I will trouble you.” Long Haochen replied, “Oh, and, if I may ask, is Lin Xin well? That should be the Auxiliary Temple Head Lin Chen’s grandson.”

Although Lin Xin’s grandfather was a Saint Magic Tutor of the eighth step, as an auxiliary Temple Head, he was mainly taking care of administrative work for the Temple Alliance on behalf of the Mage Temple. The Auxiliary Temple Heads of the Six Great Temples are all powerhouses of the eighth step, and mostly staying in their respective Temples to increase their force. They had all been promoted after having made considerable contributions for their own Temple.

“Do you know about Lin Xin?” Elder Fei gave Long Haochen a surprised look.

Long Haochen nodded, “Yeah! Lin Xin is my good friend.”

Hearing that, elder Fei suddenly showed a grotesque face, which immediately gave Long Haochen a fright, “What’s wrong? Elder Fei, could it be that something happened to Lin Xin?” Long Haochen asked eagerly.
