Hearing his question, Chen Ying’er’s eyes lit up immediately, “Right! We can ask for clues from them. There’s surely a Moonlit Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, they are the current largest conglomeration of free merchants. Let me go look for them.” She ran out in a rush.

Long Haochen stopped her with haste, “Ying’er, don’t let your emotions get the better of you.

“Let’s do this, we will do some simple practice for battle tactics, and then I will accompany you to look for the Moonlit Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce. By showing them the insignia Yue Ye gave me, we should be able to get their help. We should at least learn about the situation Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi are in before setting out. At the same time, we will be undergoing your grandfather’s test while looking for information. Right, didn’t you say that you have your means to counter the domain of your grandfather?”

Chen Ying’er nodded, “The domains wielded by us summoners are almost all aimed at boosting summoned beasts. Summoners of higher levels almost all have their own contracted beast, so their domain is either inclined at strengthening their contracted beast or boosting it overall. My grandfather’s domain is of the former type, mainly boosting his contracted beast. My Spiritual Bestowal has another use, and that’s on the opposing magical beast, to weaken it greatly for a short time, and facilitate me bringing it to submission. Grandfather is much stronger than me, so even with the Spiritual Saint Robe, I can’t weaken his contracted beast too much. But I can reduce greatly the amplification provided by his domain.”

Long Haochen replied in a flash, “So that’s how things are. Your ability as Spiritual Saint Girl is really practical.”

Chen Ying’er continued, “We summoners hold belief in mythological beasts. In the legends, the mythological beasts’ realm cannot interfere with the elemental gods, which is why they can hardly make miraculous descents. The Spiritual Saint Girl was sent into the human world as a guide for the magical beasts. That’s why her abilities are mostly directed at magical beasts. At my current level of cultivation, the boosts are observable, but when my cultivation grows further, these boosts will not be as obvious as now.”

Wang Yuanyuan asked in curiosity, “Ying’er, what’s your grandfather’s contracted beast? I am starting to believe that thanks to your rebellion, our chances of victory will be quite good!”

Chen Ying’er snorted, “How could it be so easy? My grandfather is presently the person with the most knowledge regarding magical beasts there is. As the Psychic Master he is, I have yet to see his limits. Just think, how come our Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass remained so invulnerable to attacks ever since the start of the Holy War? The tides of beasts we call out are even more numerous than the demons. Even those eight demon gods couldn’t bring out my grandfather’s full strength. Winning against him will be extremely hard, we can only stall out as much as possible. The greatest shortcoming of summoners such as us is our weak killing force. As long as we last for long enough, we will prove our sufficient strength to grandfather. I will hold up grandfather’s contracted beast. Big sis Xing Xuan likes me the most, and will surely be unwilling to make fierce moves.”

“Big sister Xing Xuan?” Lin Xin asked in puzzlement, “Could your grandfather’s summoned beast be a human shaped beast?”

Chen Ying’er showed a mysterious smile, “Of course not. It’s just that big sis Xing Xuan is a girl. When the time comes, you can’t go wound her either. Let me tell you everything...”

Next day.

In the morning, Long Haochen’s group looked up high outside the Temple, waiting calmly.

“According to my calculations, they should arrive around that time.” Long Haochen murmured. They were waiting for Han Yu and Sima Xian’s return. Long Haochen had a good understanding of Star King’s flight speed, and the distance between the Southern Mountain Pass and the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass being in addition rather short, a day and a night should be enough for Han Yu to smoothly find Sima Xian and be back.

The day before, Chen Ying’er already promised to set the test on this afternoon. Based on her understanding of this grandfather and his strong ideology, in case they arrived late, she was afraid his impression would steeply decline, causing an increase in the difficulty of the test.

If not for the hurry of the matter of saving Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, they could take it much easier, and wait for Sima Xian and Han Yu to be back before planning things more thoroughly. But time awaits no one. By being just a bit later to depart, the danger for Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi would only increase.

The Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce had already contacted Long Haochen, agreeing to investigate the circumstances of Yang Wenzhao’s group. They had their own sources of information, and shouldn’t take too long to send news.

At the same time, Long Haochen heard another piece of information. After the time Ah’Bao led the encirclement of their Demon Hunt Squad, Yue Ye immediately expressed her intention to cancel their engagement after returning to demon territory. Even the personal attempt of persuasion from the Moon Demon God couldn’t change her thoughts. Her justification was simple. How could a man who views the act of killing the enemy higher than her become her husband? Maybe Ah’Bao made the right decision as the demons’ crown prince, but Yue Ye was absolutely unwilling to marry such a man, even if she was killed otherwise.

The Demon God Emperor didn’t declare his position, and even Ah’Bao remained silent. After all, Ah’Bao didn’t have a good justification to insist on the matter! So in the end, the engagement wasn’t cancelled, but postponed for an undesignated period. From what was said, Ah’Bao re-entered secluded training, planning on increasing his strength by training as if his life depended on it.

This piece of news was just a theatrical episode, that Long Haochen didn’t put in his mind. But he was unaware that Ah’Bao’s rancor towards him increased even further due to that matter. As the Devil Dragons’ crown prince, Ah’Bao took great pains that even surpassed Long Haochen’s. In the near future, Ah’Bao wanted to go find Long Haochen at all cost as if they were predestined opponents. historical

“They won’t have the time to rest if they don’t arrive soon.” Chen Ying’er was also extremely worried. If Sima Xian could be back along with Han Yu now, they would have the time to take a rest while discussing strategy and tactics. But as time passed minutes after minutes and seconds after seconds, there was still no sight of them,

Long Haochen breathed deeply, and turned his stance towards the others, “Everyone, be prepared to deal with Temple Head Chen without the two of them. This test cannot be delayed, and we must show results.”

“Yes.”

The death of Zhang Fangfang’s former Demon Hunt Squad was a very severe blow. On this day, joining Wang Yuanyuan’s Demon Hunt Squad was like the accomplishment of one of his cherished desires. Furthermore, he could this way keep company with Wang Yuanyuan. He was very satisfied with that.

At this very moment, Long Haochen suddenly flickered his brows, looking far into the sky. It was currently totally empty, with nothing else than the blue sky in sight. As everyone was wondering what Long Haochen was mysteriously watching, a little golden dot came to sight very far away, and it enlarged at a frightening speed. Wasn’t that the returning Star King?

Star King had two passengers on his wide back. Han Yu was seated on the front, but his figure couldn’t conceal the imposing stature behind him. A large bald head came to sight behind his head, releasing light essence not inferior in the slightest to the one coming out from Star King’s body.

“They are here, they are here! That’s really them! ” Lin Xin excitedly bounced. Sima Xian’s return meant that all the members of their 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad were finally reunited. And, it also meant that the Demon Hunt Squad was back to a whole, and that was the only way for them to be the Bright Glimmer of Hope! With even only one member less, it wouldn’t be complete.

In the past, Lin Xin used to frequently be noisy alongside with Sima Xian, but as a matter of fact, the two of them had extremely good relationships. Seeing that baldie once again, Lin Xin found it hard to contain his emotions, couldn’t help but hop and bounce while waving at him excitedly.

Long Haochen’s handsome face became flushed due to the excitement. His fists were gripped tightly: _Sima and Han Yu are back! So we are finally reunited!_ At this time, he only had the feeling that no matter what challenges they encounter, they will break through them inevitably.

Star King’s travelling speed was really fast. For the sake of returning on time, he maintained a top speed all this time. At the time of landing, his body let out a burst of golden steam without losing speed until then, thanks to his level of cultivation.

Sima Xian took the lead to jump down from Star King’s back, and laughed out heartily, opening his arms wide in front of everyone. Han Yu followed closely behind, and at that very moment, the members from Bright Glimmer of Hope all became incomparably excited. Apart from Cai’er who showed somewhat less excitement, the others all couldn’t help but dash in acclamation, tightly hugging each other.

They were finally reunited. Regardless of whether they call themselves 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad or Bright Glimmer of Hope, they were back to their initial setup.

Zhang Fangfang was standing on the side, looking at them with intense envy. Recalling his deceased companions, he couldn’t bear to leak out tears. Who knew how many more Demon Hunters had died for the sake of the Alliance, for the sake of humanity. After more than six thousand years passed, when will humankind finally drive out all demons.

Lin Xin beat Sima Xian’s fist with all his force, “How could you be so slow? Making us so anxious.”

Han Yu couldn’t help but react to these words before Sima Xian even opened his mouth, “Slow? That was slow to you? See how Star King is exhausted. He has been flying at full speed all this time, and is already at his limit. If you’re speaking of slow, that would be Sima’s fault. You have no idea of how heavy he is. For normal flight, Star King would have no problem carrying the two of us. But for an express flight, the addition of his weight was sure to slow us down.”
