Chapter 793: Launching the First Attack, the Army for Penetration (I) (2/2)
Shu Yongxiao said, “Don’t worry, we’re not that week. Just prepare a great big cloak for everyone and that’ll be enough. As for our identities, you can just say that we’re your personal guards.”
Long Haochen said in a hurry, “How can I do just that? Predecessors…”
Xiao Huo raised his hand to interrupt him, “Just do that. We’ve existed for over six millenia now. We don’t care about fame anymore. We just want to achieve our objectives. However, we’re still grateful that you have thought for us and wanted to rectify our names. As long as you lead the union, repel the demons and reclaim our human world, we will be satisfied. That is also our only request. We can finally see that hope in that from you.”
Long Haochen said, “Predecessors, you’re making me feel embarrassed.”
Xiao Huo chuckled, “There’s no need to be modest. If you were limited to the strength you used against me earlier, then how would you still be able to become the chairman of the union? In the past, I had personally witnessed the might of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. You probably haven’t even pushed your domain to the limit. Go out and prepare first. Once we leave, I’ll stay by your side for a while, until you completely learn the Three Moves of Brahm?.”
“Yes,” Long Haochen replied politely.
Shu Yongxiao said, “Hold on, little Long. You still need to understand the overall strength of theses sixty-three old hags, so you make arrangements for the battle against the demons. Old man Xiao and I are at the seventh rank of the ninth step, with sixteen at the fifth rank or higher. The rest was all beyond the third rank. Just bear that in mind.”
Long Haochen was truly shocked. Sixty-three powerhouses beyond the third rank of the ninth step. Even the entire union might not have been able to gather that! Not to mention, sixteen of them were beyond the fifth rank and there were two at the seventh rank. This force could nullify the threat of the strongest demons, the devil dragons, at the very least. In other words, with the support of the Eternal Heroes, not only did it give confidence to humanity against the demons, it increased their chances at victory by twenty percent at the very least.
Long Haochen left the cavern, took back the sacred mountain insignia and returned to where the teleportation array was.
As soon as he had emerged, Cai’er immedaitely roused from her state of cultivation. Long Haochen had just faced against a group of ninth step powerhouses, so it would be strange if she really could settle down to cultivate. She did not meditate at all. She only relaxed when she saw Long Haochen return in perfect shape.
Long Haochen gave a simple explanation of what he went through. Yang Haohan could not help but beam with joy. Long Haochen had benefited tremendously this time. Not only did he gain the recognition of the eternal heroes who had also agree to fight, there was also the good news of the Eternal Heroes being willing to pass on their techniques.
Long Haochen did not know the vocations of the Eternal Heroes, but Yang Haohan did! Among the sixty-three Eternal Heroes, a third of them were knights. Although it would be difficult to find powerhouses below the age of forty with cultivations beyond the eighth step, they still should have been able to gather enough people since the Knight Temple was the leaders of the six temples. Just the Bright Glimmer of Hope possessed five knights. Coupled with Li Xin and the other excellent young knights, there would be no problem in allocating the techniques of the Eternal Heroes. The five other temples would not be missing out, so everyone would obviously benefit, albeit not as much for the five other temples.
Yang Haohan left Long Haochen to wait on the Knights’ Sacred Mountain. He returned back to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass as quickly as he could and in just a short while, he returned with new clothes and cloaks.
The clothes were all knit from the best silk. Not only was it tough, it was cool in summer and warm in winter, best for maintaining body temperature. The cloaks were the same. The clothes and cloaks were all lined with golden threads. It was not obvious there, but it would shine faintly with a golden light in the sun. It gave off a luxurious feeling, while maintaining a low profile as well.
Long Haochen entered the cavern once more with these clothes and cloaks. He handed them to the Eternal Heroes. Only then did the sixty-three powerhouses leave with him, leaving the cave after four waves of teleportations.
Standing in the centre of the Knights’ Sacred Mountain, all of the Eternal Heroes thought to themselves silently. When they sensed the dense light element and the unfamiliar brightness, they experienced many emotions.
Having slumbered for thousands of years, they were finally leaving and this time, it was very likely that they would not be returning here. Even though they had slept for thousands of years, it was impossible for them to not have changed, even if just slightly.
