Chapter 464: Returning in the Exorcist’s Mountain Pass (II)

But Long Haochen’s pressure was really hard to bear. No matter what one said, Haoyue and him were the reason for the Holy War initiated by the demons this time. Forces of over ten million in the demon side were opposed to the resistance of an army of over a million humans. The terrible situation that the people were going to be put in was obvious.

The fourth Heroic Knight directly brought them to a meeting room in the Assassin Temple, before making his report in a hurry.

Without any outsider present, everyone unconsciously focused their eyes on Long Haochen. Every one of them was filled with complex feelings, with only Cai’er at a loss.

At the time she entered the Assassin Temple, her expression seemed to have changed. Faintly, Cai’er felt a sense of familiarity with the place.

“Boss, is something weighing in your mind?” Lin Xin looked at Long Haochen with some concern.

A large scale invasion, the Holy War launched by the Demon God Emperor. These news struck the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad hard. And moreover, Long Haochen was in the core of this storm. How could his comrades be free of worries?

Long Haochen shook his head with no hesitation, “It’s nothing. We will just have to listen to the arrangements the Alliance is planning for. You all heard what the fourth Hidden Knight said. I am only thinking of fighting for the sake of the Alliance right now.”

“Yeah, we have to fight for the sake of the Alliance.” Sima Xian’s eyes flickered with an ominous glint, itching to rush to the battlefield.

The others nodded in turn, having steadied their minds. Long Haochen was the soul of this team, and although he couldn’t be said to have been flawless on the past missions, at least he was very reliable. As long as his mind is steady, there won’t be issue, and everyone would naturally be a lot better.

Actually, Long Haochen’s current frame of mind was bound to be complex. Only he understood the real reason that the Demon God Emperor started this Holy War was to get his hands on Haoyue and him. If he stood up, maybe this whole war could be ended, but could he do that? The answer was uncertain. This was a war between two races, and even without this trigger, along with the continuous human growth, this Holy War would sooner or later erupt. And Long Haochen may be the Scion of Light, but that doesn’t prevent him from cherishing his life as well! More importantly, the one who would have to pay the cost of his life to stop this war wouldn’t be him, but his good companion and good brother Haoyue.

Everyone had their own selfishness. Even with the cleanest and holiest heart he could possibly have, Long Haochen remained in the end a human. He also had selfish desires of his own: how could he just look at Haoyue dying like that? This was absolutely impossible, but he wasn’t also willing to see the people in terrible situation because of the Holy War.

Therefore, his mind was in total disarray. He already had the resolution that no matter what the final verdict of the Alliance would be, even if he was handed over, he would support this decision until the end. And he already resolved himself to report the threat presented by Haoyue to the demon race to the Alliance, leaving everything for them to decide.

Making such a decision was very painful to Long Haochen, but at the same time, he felt a lot more relaxed after doing it. At least he could now forgive himself. At worse he would be sacrificed by the Temple Alliance, and if things really ended this way, he would only choose to die in battle alongside Haoyue.

The presence of fourth Heroic Knight was very effective. The surrounding space slightly shivered all of a sudden. Long Haochen’s sharp eyes were locked onto a single place, his right hand made a sudden move, before immediately returning to its previous position. The next instant, a grey figure stepped on the floor, stepping forward. That was the chief of the Assassin Temple, Sheng Yue.

Sheng Yue’s look was attracted to Long Haochen seeing him withdraw his hand. And his eyes seemed to have a different look. His second target of view was naturally Cai’er.

When Cai’er came into contact with Sheng Yue for the first time, her body shivered slightly, and her lost look seemed to have crackled slightly. Looking blankly at him, she seemed to have entirely gone stiff.
