Chapter 114: Meeting; Evolution of the Demon Hunt Squad; Testing

Holy City.

A total of six powerful Temple Hall Masters sat in the conference hall, and in the main seat was the Temple Alliance Alliance Leader, Yang Haohan.

A total of seven people kept looking at each other, their expressions carrying a hint of displeasure, and that even more displeased gaze was directed at Long Xingyu.

Among them, Priest Temple Hall Master Ling Xiao looked at Long Xingyu with a hint of amusement and laughed: "Hall Master Long has been a Hall Master for many years and has never attended any meetings regarding the Holy Alliance. This first time participating, the matter you have brought up is certainly not small."

Long Xingyu replied indifferently: "Since there is a problem, how can one not speak up?"

"What problem?" Ling Xiao asked.

Long Xingyu waved his hand, a Demon Crystal was tossed out, and the images of a Demon Hunt Squad were projected, recording their identities, battle achievements, and information.

"This is the Shi Ji No. 3 Demon Hunt Squad of this generation, and also the current General Grade No. 8 Demon Hunt Squad," Long Xingyu shouted. "The captain is the Knight Temple's then-number-two Knight, Zhang Fangfang."

"His talent is good, not inferior to Knight Chief Han Zhige and Vice Temple Master He Jun, but it is precisely such a Knight who, after entering the Demon Hunt Squad, did not stand out; instead, he has been constantly helping his teammates, even hindering his own improvement."

Subsequently, Long Xingyu waved his hand again, and countless examples of Demon Hunt Squads were displayed there.

Ling Xiao frowned, wanting to say something.

"I agree with Hall Master Long's view." Suddenly, two voices came from the side; looking closely, they were none other than Assassin Temple Hall Master Sheng Yue and Soul Temple Hall Master Chen Ying'er.

The moment Long Xingyu finished speaking, they also slapped the table and stood up, immediately agreeing, but they also looked at each other with suspicion, a hint of confusion appearing in their eyes.

No? Buddy? What is this about you speaking in unison with me?

I have a granddaughter (great-granddaughter) I plan to send out, are you the same?

Hmm, it really is... However, these two quickly turned to look at the other two temples.

Warrior Temple Hall Master Qiu Yonghao was somewhat confused; he didn't understand.

On the side, Magic Temple Hall Master Li Zhengzhi heard this and looked over with some doubt, but he knew very well that these two old fellows never did anything without profit; perhaps the Knight Temple had given them something.

However, he did not intend to get involved. Although the Demon Hunt Squad Competition was one of the Alliance's most important events, ultimately, Li Zhengzhi did not look favorably upon the past system; it was too rotten.

"If it is only this matter, my Magic Temple agrees."

"It is just that the specific details still need to be discussed."

Hearing this, Long Xingyu was somewhat surprised. Their Knight Temple and Magic Temple had always been at odds, and he, Long Xingyu, and Li Zhengzhi were the same.

It was normal for those two old foxes, Sheng Yue and Chen Hongyu, to agree because of their disciples' romantic debts... but he didn't know about Li Zhengzhi.

However, Long Xingyu did not intend to think too much, and began to discuss the reform of this Demon Hunt Squad Competition... The reform discussion ended.

Ling Xiao returned.

On the way, he was also constantly thinking.

"What is this old guy Long Xingyu after?"

"What makes him so attentive to this Demon Hunt Squad Competition?"

Just as he was pondering, a familiar voice came from the side: "It seems Hall Master Ling Xiao is very curious about me."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao turned his head decisively.

The person who came was none other than Long Xingyu.

Ling Xiao's strength was certainly not as good as Long Xingyu's, but he was not panicked; even if Long Xingyu was reckless, he at least had a brain.

Could he possibly make a move on him in the middle of the street?

"Hall Master Long, what is your purpose in seeking me out this time?" Ling Xiao said irritably.

"I intend to have your grandniece join a Demon Hunt Squad through the Priest Temple," Long Xingyu said, trying to build a connection.

But when saying this, Long Xingyu was somewhat gritting his teeth, but there was no other way; he was going all out.

"Don't try to claim kinship; where would I have a grandniece... wait a moment." Ling Xiao waved his hand, but suddenly looked at Long Xingyu's position with some surprise.

He had many sisters and nieces.

But basically, none of them had anything to do with Long Xingyu, except for that pain in his heart, his cousin Bai Lingxuan, who had given birth to a daughter with the Demon Race... and her daughter was Long Xingyu's wife, Bai Yue.

Then, calling her a grandniece didn't seem wrong.

"Yue'er? Is it Yue'er? Your daughter with Yue'er? You found her?" Ling Xiao asked seriously.

"Yes." Long Xingyu nodded.

"Finally..." Ling Xiao was somewhat shaken, but remembering his grudge with Long Xingyu, he still said unhappily: "As a Knight, wanting to participate in the Priest Temple's competition... this is also not..."

Before he finished speaking, Long Xingyu continued: "Ling Xi possesses the Bright Saintess Physique, which has not appeared in six thousand years... Innate Internal Spiritual Power of ninety-eight."

The words of refusal Ling Xiao was about to say stopped right there, and he stared blankly at Long Xingyu's position. After a long while, he spat out one word: "Ah?"

The next moment, a smile appeared on his not-so-old face, the corners of his mouth raised high, and he said: "Good."

Only half a month remained until the Demon Hunt Squad Competition.

For this grand ceremony, countless people were making preparations.

Inside the Soul Temple.

Wearing the Soul Sacred Garment, Chen Ying'er sat on the altar, her spiritual power constantly leaking out, as if she were feeling the mysteries within.

"Ying'er, let's go, we should set off for the Holy City," Chen Hongyu walked onto the altar and called out.

"So fast?" Chen Ying'er was now eighteen, already a grown young woman.

She stood up slowly, her pink eyes looking at Chen Hongyu, and asked: "Will Ye Ling also go this time?"

"He is, after all, the top card of the Knight Temple; how could he not go?" Chen Hongyu looked at his granddaughter with a smile.

"That's good." A hint of a smile appeared on Chen Ying'er's face; she jumped lightly, stood up, returned to the secret room to change out of the Soul Sacred Garment, and giggled: "Alright Grandpa, let's go!"

Hearing this, Chen Hongyu rubbed his granddaughter's head, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Sigh, she's only eighteen... his granddaughter is only eighteen! And she is already so infatuated with a young boy!!! He, as a grandfather, really can't take it... Assassin Temple.

Sheng Caier held two short blades in her hands; with a wave, countless Demon Race heads fell to the ground, and a terrifying, icy spiritual power constantly flashed on her body.

And after those Demon Race members died, layers of Soul Power seeped into Sheng Caier's body, helping her improve.

On the side, a thin, small old man with a white beard had tears in his eyes, having been observing Sheng Caier all along; after all the Demon Race members had completely perished, he stepped forward.

"Cai'er?" The old man, who was none other than the Assassin Temple Hall Master Sheng Yue, stepped forward and called out, "It is about time."

"We can set off for the Holy City."

Sheng Caier steadied her body, turned her head to look at Sheng Yue, and asked, "Will he be going too?"

"Yes!" Sheng Yue answered decisively.

"Let's go." Sheng Caier said nothing more; over these past few years, her pain had greatly subsided, and although she remained cold, a glimmer of vitality had long since appeared in the depths of her eyes.

"Cai'er, let me ask," Sheng Yue spoke with some difficulty, "Have you still not sorted out the relationship between yourself and him?"

"No." A trace of contemplation appeared with difficulty on Sheng Caier's small face, and after a long while, she shook her head and said, "But this time, I will go over and figure it out."

"That is fine." Sheng Yue sighed and waved his hand. Everything in this place underwent a change, and then a troop of the Exorcist Pass army stepped into this space. Setting off, Holy City, Demon Capital Heart City.

Moon Demon Palace.

At this moment, the Moon Demon God Agares sat cross-legged in place, holding a piece of paper in his hand. A trace of contemplation appeared on his handsome face, and after a moment, he burned the paper right where he sat.

He then turned to look at the young girl in front of him and said, "The so-called Demon Hunt Squad Competition of the humans is about to begin; you may set off now."

"I have everything prepared, Father. Next, I will successfully complete the mission!"

"Good."

Just in the Demon Emperor Palace nearby.

At this moment, the Demon Race Crown Prince Abao sat in place, with a group of Fifth Rank Demon Race who looked like fake humans kneeling on the ground before him, trembling as they looked at Abao, terrified that Abao might kill them all in an instant.

"Oh?"

"Interesting, truly interesting."

"These humans, I originally thought they had no chance, but looking at it now, they are actually playing such fancy tricks."

"That is fine, it has actually brought me a few opportunities."

"You few."

Abao smiled slightly, a cruel smile appearing at the corners of his mouth:

"Next, I will give you some magical artifacts for concealment. You will infiltrate them and try to kill them all, letting the humans know the terror of our Demon Race!"

Half a month passed.

The mansion belonging to the Divine Seal Knight of Apocalypse and Slaughter.

This mansion, which was rarely entered by anyone, welcomed its guests—or rather, its masters. "Sigh, as expected, the Holy City is worthy of being the most prosperous city in the Alliance. This level of enjoyment cannot be had in either Yulong Pass or Haoyue City."

Li Xin lay very lazily on a sofa. The sofa was very soft, and its value was not even lower than some ordinary Magic Grade equipment.

After lying down, there was a very satisfying feeling.

Especially after they had been practicing cross-legged for more than a year, there was an even more peculiar feeling.

"Why, looking at you like this, you don't intend to leave this sofa? Why don't you just stay here for the time being? You might as well not participate in the Demon Hunt Squad Competition in two days."

A playful, cheerful laugh came from the side.

"Little brother, you tell me, is it comfortable here or not?" Li Xin turned her head and looked unhappily at the young man beside her.

The young man was wearing a white martial outfit, his face incomparably handsome. The sunlight from the window spilled onto him, further highlighting his handsomeness.

This was a handsomeness that could not be faulted in the slightest, as if these two words were born for him.

Even Li Xin, who spent every day with him, could not help but be slightly dazed after seeing all this. He was truly handsome... she had always thought so, not to mention that a deep connection had long since formed between the two of them; now she would only like him even more. "Brother Ye Ling, why are you teasing Sister Xin'er again?" A young girl walked in behind Ye Ling.

The young girl had a tall figure, reaching 1.7 meters. Her long hair was tied up behind her head, her star-like eyes flashing with a pale golden radiance, her lips red and teeth white.

Her thighs were slender, and her figure was already inconsistent with her current age, not even far off from Li Xin's scale. She was wearing a white dress; if not for the battle skirt suitable for a female knight worn underneath, anyone would have thought she was a doll carved from powder and jade.

Seeing her come over, Li Xin finally stood up, affectionately took her arm, and said, "That's right, this is my little Lingxi."

"Little brother, you are the older one, how are you not as sensible as Lingxi?"

Ye Ling: "..."

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Isolating me, are you? Then I will go and register myself. Sigh, both my older sister and younger sister don't want me anymore."

Having said that, he feigned a look of desolation and intended to leave.

But he saw Li Xin and Long Lingxi exchange a glance, and the two laughed out loud, then stepped forward, each taking one of Ye Ling's arms, and called out: "Let's go, little brother (Brother Ye Ling), you're so big, why are you still acting like a little child."

The three of them just walked down like that.

After Long Xingyu brought them over, he went off to do something himself, leaving the three siblings to come over on their own.

And after going down, one could see an old man wearing Gold Foundation Battle Armor standing there. The old man had a head of white hair, and when he saw the three of them, he nodded at the first opportunity and stepped forward.

"The three of you, you are the disciple and daughter of Star Universe Hall Master? Li Xin, Ye Ling, Long Lingxi?" The old man inquired.

"That is correct. May I ask who you are?" Ye Ling stepped forward and asked.

"I am Han Qian, Saint Knight Chief of the Knight Temple. Before, Star Universe Hall Master specifically asked me to come here to take you to conduct the test, saying that I would be very surprised." Han Qian said.

"Please lead the way." Ye Ling bowed decisively. After all, no one would dare come here to kidnap children, and these human traffickers certainly couldn't wear Gold Foundation Battle Armor.

Han Qian returned the salute and led the three of them to a certain place.

There was a peculiar piece of jade here. Looking closely, wasn't that the Spirit Power Stone for testing Spiritual Power?

"Try it. Li Xin, you start first." Han Qian said directly.

"Okay." Li Xin nodded, stepped forward, and channeled her Spiritual Power to place her hand on the jade stone.

Han Qian also watched with burning eyes. Long Xingyu had told him before that there would be a surprise this time. Having lived for so long, he had seen everything there was to see, and Long Xingyu could even be considered someone he had watched grow up.

Could these three really be stronger than Long Xingyu?

"Innate Internal Spiritual Power seventy, Spiritual Power one thousand eight hundred, evaluation, Tenth Rank Great Knight!"

Hearing this, Li Xin was somewhat surprised.

"Innate Internal Spiritual Power seventy? As expected, Senior Electrolux was not wrong; there really is a surprise!" Li Xin happily hugged Ye Ling.

When they left, Electrolux said he had given Li Xin a surprise; so it was here!

Yes, as the Child of Light, Electrolux naturally understood many contracts, and during this practice, Electrolux had secretly planted the Divine Retainer Contract on Ye Ling and Li Xin.

As a Guangming Shen's Favored One, Ye Ling can form contracts with any existence possessing the light attribute, and as a Guangming Shen's Favored One, he can naturally bring terrifying amplification to those he contracts with.

Those with Innate Internal Spiritual Power below fifty points enter seventy points, and those exceeding fifty points enter eighty points; this is the terror of the Child of Light! And Li Xin is exactly like this.

"Tsk, Sister, after cultivating for this year, have you still not broken through to the Fifth Rank?" Ye Ling looked at his sister's excited attitude and laughed.

Li Xin said with gritted teeth: "Don't nag, little brother, it's your turn."

Hearing this, Ye Ling stepped forward and placed his hand inside.

At the same time, Han Qian took a curious look.

"Judging from what Li Xin said, this youth must have broken through to the Fifth Rank, otherwise he wouldn't have had that attitude just now."

"It seems Xingyu has found a good disciple; this child looks to be only about twenty years old, yet he has already broken through to the Fifth Rank—he is indeed a genius."

"No wonder he was able to defeat Yang Wenzhao a few years ago."

Han Qian thought to himself, having already gained a certain understanding and assessment of Ye Ling's strength.

Hmm, he can indeed be called a little genius, no less than his teacher Long Xingyu; in the future, he should be able to stand alongside Yang Wenzhao as the twin stars of the Knight Temple.

Just as he was thinking about these things, the jade stone inside also emitted a sound: "Innate Internal Spiritual Power 98, Spiritual Power 3,200 points."
