Chapter 595: Long Haochen’s choice (2/2)

……

“The Demon God Emperor wants to kill me, but for that, he will have to find us first, so we absolutely have to avoid contact with him. Although I am unwilling to borrow the force of the Tower of Eternity,there is no choice but to admit that in the present situation, as long as the Tower of Eternity exists, there’s a low probability that we would get caught by the Demon God Emperor.”

Hearing Long Haochen mention the Tower of Eternity, everyone’s eyes lit up. That’s right, they still had the Tower of Eternity. Even if the Demon God Emperor was even more powerful, he couldn’t possibly split space to look for the Tower of Eternity. In this different realm, even a god would not find anything.

Long Haochen expressed, “Yue Ye’s information really came extremely promptly. She did her best to earn us enough time, and now to save Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, our only possibility is to avoid crossing the road of the Demon God Emperor.”

This instant, the extreme seriousness in Long Haochen’s face disappeared. Although this was just a battle of wits for the time being, who else in the Temple Alliance would dare do that?

“For the sake of prudence, let’s act within the next two days. In other words, we have two days to save Wenzhao, then immediately get away. The Demon God Emperor won’t possibly be able to find us that way.”

At this point, he turned his gaze toward Chen Ying’er, firmly speaking the next words, “But Ying’er, no matter what we do, we have to consider the worse outcome. If this time, Cai’er didn’t find the trails of those demon gods, we won’t have any other choice, understood?”

Unable to control her tears further, which flowed through her cheeks, Chen Ying’er burst into tears against Long Haochen’s waist, “Thank you, thank you Boss, thank you…”

As the Spiritual Saint Girl, one chosen by the mythological beasts, her intelligence and wisdom was not below her other comrades. She obviously knew that Long Haochen’s last decision was also laden with a great factor of danger: they were fighting for time against the Demon God Emperor! Would any ordinary person dare do that? Another Demon Hunt Squad captain would have chosen to turn round after receiving this news long ago. After all, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were strangers for their Demon Hunt Squad!

Long Haochen lightly patted Chen Ying’er’s back, smiling to her, “Don’t forget that I am a knight too. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi are rare talents from our Knight Temple: saving them is originally my unshrinkable responsability.”

Han Yu reacted, “Captain, if we succeed in saving Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, what will be our future course of actions?”

Long Haochen replied with no hesitation, “Penetrate deeply into demon territory.”

“Eh?” Everyone was greatly shocked from hearing this. The Demon God Emperor was going all out to find their trails, yet he had no hesitation to declare his intention to penetrate deeply into demon territory.

Long Haochen nodded, “Since the Demon God Emperor is bringing a lot of demon gods to the front lines, the demon territory will surely be extremely emptied. In these border areas, we are absolutely unable to display our full power. For the sake of avoiding that the Demon God Emperor takes out his anger on every defensive fort, I cannot even let Haoyue go destroy demon god pillars here. But in demon territory, we won’t have these worries anymore. The Demon God Emperor won’t know where we are gone either. He cannot find us there, as he will either remain here or keep looking for us. This time we should set out in demon territory as fast as possible, and maybe we will reap a lot. Therefore, no matter whether we succeed in rescuing Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, our next move will be to head for the demon territory. By remaining in this border area, we will only inconvenience every defensive fort.”

Han Yu retorted, “But how about hiding ourselves inside the Alliance?”

Long Haochen sighed in response, “It would be great if we could simply do that. But since the Demon God Emperor dared call this an inescapable net, there must be quite a few spies dispatched in the border area, like we have Yue Ye from the demon camp helping us. Since the Demon God Emperor is the demons’ sovereign, all the demons’ intelligence must be in his grasp. Don’t tell me you think we will surely be out of his reach in the Alliance? So we can only penetrate deeply into demon territory, to make him lose all the intelligence he could get on us. On the contrary, if we withdraw to the Alliance, we will very possibly be targeted by the large amount of demon gods he brought alongside, forcing their way into the Alliance to chase after us. At that time, the people will be in terrible situations. By getting into demon territory, we may find a path for survival in the midst of death. We must not only penetrate deeply in the demon territory, but also let the Demon God Emperor know about it. That way, we will pull away the demons, and won’t let the Alliance suffer too much terrible damage. Furthermore, as long as we have the Tower of Eternity, we can activate its transporting ability at anytime. At worst, we will just remain shut inside the Tower of Eternity for a long period of time. There is also another reason why I have just come back late. That’s because I requested senior heroic assassin Sheng Yue to supply us with large amounts of food, which was all stored through the Eternal Melody. It will be enough to last us even if we have to live inside the Tower of Eternity for a year and a half.”

Hearing his explanation, everyone had feelings of relaxation. Long Haochen’s plan seemed extremely dangerous, but with the Tower of Eternity as a backup move, they only had to avoid running into the Demon God Emperor directly to be almost free from any real danger.

Zhang Fangfang reacted, “Haochen, there are two issues I can now think of. First, what if the Demon God Emperor immediately attacks the Exorcist Mountain Pass right after we depart? The other issue is the truthfulness of the information Yue Ye transmitted. The Demon God Emperor’s attack on the Exorcist Mountain Pass is not something we can stop. But if in addition, Yue Ye’s information is false, we will be forced into great danger. Maybe we will really fall in the trap of the Demon God Emperor that way.”

Long Haochen was slightly startled, immediately feeling a chill. Right! His plans were based on the complete accuracy of Yue Ye’s intelligence. If there was an issue with Yue Ye’s intelligence, their plans would all be wasted and they may very possibly be led by the nose by the Demon God Emperor.

Right at this time, the nearby Lin Xin giggled, “Captain Zhang, you are thinking too much.” Ever since they were faced in desperate straits due to Tian Qing’s mistake in demon territory, Lin Xin found it hard to stand when others would meddle withLong Haochen’s decisions. The same applied even if Zhang Fangfang was Wang Yuanyuan’s lover.

Zhang Fangfang responded, “This is just my personal thought. Of course, I don’t understand well the degree of your cooperation with Yue Ye. It’s just that I believe that if an issue arises in this area, we will be in great danger.”
