Chapter 594: Inescapable Net (III)
Long Haochen didn’t expect that as he was undergoing embarrassment, the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce brought some precise news, that Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were presently still alive. The demon god who captured them was transporting them to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and looked prepared to conclude a trade with the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
The demon side understood very clearly the importance importance the Demon Hunters held for the Temple Alliance. And this wasn’t the first time Demon Hunters were used for some transaction.
At the present time, what they wanted in exchange was most likely Demon God Crowns. After all, it hadn’t been long since two demon gods died on the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. If these Demon God Crowns couldn’t be retrieved, these two demon gods won’t reappear before at least ten years pass. This damage was considerable in the demons’ eyes.
After getting these news, Long Haochen immediately set out for the Spiritual Temple, and after Chen Hongyu was informed, the eight immediately set out, heading at top speed towards the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
The more time passed, the more Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi would be in danger. And Heroic Assassin Sheng Yue indeed had a Demon God Crown in his hand. Returning this crown to the demon side won’t be any good thing either.
No matter what, trying to save Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi was something they had to do.
The way from the Thousand Beasts Mountain Pass to the Exorcist Mountain Pass stretched almost across the half of the Temple Alliance. Inside the Temple Alliance’s territory, they didn’t need to conceal themselves so Long Haochen rode Star King alongside Cai’er, while the other six all relied on their spiritual wings to achieve full-speed flight.
After exiting the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass, Chen Ying’er obviously became much more silent. To Long Haochen, the only good news were the great improvements in Cai’er’s moodiness. When the two of them looked at each other, the tenderness and love in her eyes leaked out unnoticed, although Cai’er secretly told Long Haochen that she’d try even harder to retrieve her lost memories, to give Long Haochen a full her. This unambiguously hinted to say that before she recovers her memories, matters like that night’s won’t occur.
Between the time they obtained news of Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi’s disappearance to the time they set off from the Exorcist Mountain Pass passed three days already. Since that demon god was accompanied, he should not be so fast to arrive to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, so the best situation for Long Haochen’s group would be to set out at full speed, and try the utmost to stop the enemy on the way to the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ demon camps.
This way, the chances of retrieving Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi would be far greater.
Of course, even if they managed to intercept them midway, they would still face a severe trial. Which is to say, could they really defeat that demon god in the top thirty-six?
Since the assassin who managed to returned did not have the time to make explicit the identity of that demon god before dying, they didn’t even know who the enemy could be.
According to Long Haochen’s guesses, although belonging to the top thirty-six, that demon god’s ranking shouldn’t be too high. The probability of him belonging to the top 24 were really low. But even so, the enemy they would have to face was surely a demon god with his own domain! At their current level of strength, their probability of victory was quite low. But fortunately, their goal wasn’t to absolutely kill this demon god, but more importantly to rescue Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi.
Doing their utmost to stay on the shortest path to destination, Long Haochen and his comrades took a total of seven days and seven nights to reach the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Not even attending to making a detour to the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ fortress to report to Sheng Yue, they directly headed to the peak in the mountain range to survey the demon camps from above
Seven consecutive flight days, with under three hours of daily sleep exhausted greatly everyone. And this was with Star King here to help everyone by letting them take turns to rest on his back.
The weather was biting cold, and series of clouds went through them. The moist water vapor carried an extreme cold, greatly waking their minds.
With a wave of his hand, Long Haochen released a Holy Mantle, disconnecting them from the outside wind. Bathed inside the Holy Mantle, everyone could regain their physical force at a faster speed.
Unfolding a map, everyone sat in circles.
Long Haochen pointed at the map, “This is our current location. On the north, is the Exorcist Mountain Pass. At the time the sky is clear, we can see the demon camps well from above. At our current rushing speed, we should be able to reach out before that travelling demon god. Although we don’t know about his precise speed, he should need at least half a month as long as he came accompanied.”
Chen Ying’er said, “Then should we prepare to intercept them? But the greatest issue is that we presently don’t know from which direction he will come into the demon camp. But we must intercept them far enough from the demon camps, or we will be in great danger in case he gets help from the surrounding demon gods.”
