Chapter 605: Haoyue’s Descent (I) (2/2)
Hearing Long Haochen’s angry scolding, Chen Ying’er stopped crying as well. Seeing Yang Wenzhao affected by his wound, she couldn’t help but want to get back to him, but was held in Wang Yuanyuan’s arms. Yuanyuan gave her a meaningful glance and shook her head.
Long Haochen showed a sneer, “You’re not a coward? If you’re not a coward, why would you be declaring your intention to end your life like that? To run away from everything like that is the most cowardly behavior you could have. Think carefully, how did these comrades of yours die? Wanting to die is a possibility, but would it be worthy of them to run away like that? Are you not afraid in the slightest that they would go stab your backbones in the other world? Your comrades are still demanding retribution, and you want to send away your life like that? There’s no way the Dragon Rider Asmodeus would even remember you, he’ll even be glad that he didn’t tire himself to kill such a coward who didn’t even dare take revenge.
“I know that deep inside, you have always had the wish to surpass me, becoming the number one of the younger generation of the Knight Temple. Just come! I will be waiting for you. Are you prepared to give up like that? Do you think there is only one Divine Throne available in the Knight Temple? Yuanyuan, get hold of Ying’er, I will be throwing away Yang Wenzhao right now, so that he can go perish on his own. Anyway, he wants to go die, what’s the use to wait for his injury to get better?”
Not expecting such a harsh rebuking to come out from Long Haochen’s mouth, the whole group became dumbstruck, and everyone was speechless for a moment.
Long Haochen’s cold voice thrust inside Yang Wenzhao’s heart like a sharp blade.
“No.” Yang Wenzhao shouted, “I need to keep living, I have not taken revenge for my comrades yet. I cannot die like that.” His eyes had both already become bloody red, “The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus is mine. I will be sure to tear his dismembered body into countless pieces for my comrades’ retribution and to let their souls rest in peace.”
“Me too.” Duan Yi who had been staying silent all the previous time also spoke, “A half of Asmodeus’ life is mine.”
Long Haochen who saw things were about right let out a cold snort and turned back toward his own mates, remarking, “What are you looking at? Haven’t I told you to go get ready?” Saying that, he glanced at them meaningfully.
“Yessir!” Including Chen Ying’er, all the members of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, including Zhang Fangfang as well, uproariously responded. Out of Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi’s field of view, Sima Xian and Lin Xin showed their thumbs ups to Long Haochen, and Chen Ying’er greatly loosened her breath, glancing thankfully at Long Haochen. Without rushing back to Yang Wenzhao’s side, she sat down and underwent cultivation without consulting with anyone else.
Now was clearly not a good time to pay attention to Yang Wenzhao, so that he could calm down and cool down his head.
Cai’er accompanied Long Haochen to sit far away, and smiled at him, “I’m becoming aware for the first time that you can really be so harsh with your words.”
Long Haochen replied quite helplessly, “There was no other way. Have you paid attention to the emotions showing in their eyes? They were totally out of light. The death of their comrades inflicted them with a far too huge blow. Their unreceptive state was just too helpless. If I weren’t harsh, there was no way to awake their fighting spirit. Although their courage to keep on living has only been stimulated using the pretext of revenge, this will at least enable them to keep living on, and slowly get better. They are no fools, and should get over it.”
Cai’er nodded, then observed Long Haochen’s tired look, and said, “Hurry up and go rest. Can’t our operations be delayed a bit? You’re too tired.”
Long Haochen shook his head resolutely, “Out of the question. With every minute we waste here, great-grandfather has higher odds to have to face the Demon God Emperor’s attacks. We must let the Demon God Emperor know that we are already deep in his territory as soon as possible. And furthermore, there will be at most the fifty-seventh demon god in Yale City. He won’t be an excessive threat to us.” Speaking these words, he immediately shut his eyes and started to undergo meditation.
Although Cai’er knew that Long Haochen was mostly doing that for the Alliance and all humankind, the Exorcist Mountain Pass was after all her household! Seeing Long Haochen refuse to take more rest even in such a tired state, how could she stay passive? In the meantime, she prayed secretly for her great-grandfather and parents, that the Demon God Emperor must by no means attack the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
If she knew that three formidable Demon Hunt Squads formed only of almighty heroes were keeping watch on the camp where the Demon God Emperor was stationed, she wouldn’t be so nervous. How could the Temple Alliance have nothing prepared to restrict the Demon God Emperor. Maybe these three Demon Hunt Squads added up were still no opponents for the Demon God Emperor and the demon gods on his side, but if they were to stake everything to attack the Demon God Emperor, even Xiufeng known as the most powerful Demon God Emperor in History would have to weigh it carefully.
Two hours passed very rapidly, and at the time Long Haochen opened his eyes, his comrades were all gathered together. Without more chatting, Long Haochen immediately spoke, “Set off.”
While saying that, his eyes swept through the distant Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. They were now in meditative postures, visibly starting to recover from their wounds through the means of cultivation. That was definitely a good start.
Long Haochen showed a thin smile, as he activated the teleportation of the Eternal Melody.
