Chapter 74 Long Haochen's Choice, Demon Hunter Team Wins First Place in Team Competition
"How is this possible—"
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Long Haochen was momentarily stunned!
He had considered that Haoyue might have done something bad, but he never imagined that Haoyue's existence would lead to the destruction of humanity.
The scene of a world filled with the dead involuntarily flashed into his mind—
Seeing Long Haochen's appearance, Lin Feng took out a handwritten document about Austin Griffin, the God of Divine Retribution, and handed it to him.
"Haochen, you can decide whether Haoyue stays or goes. It will take some time before he fully matures."
After Long Haochen took the documents from Lin Feng, Lin Feng immediately removed the light screen and returned to the barracks alone.
Lin Feng had also thought about it for a long time. It wasn't the same thing to ignore Austin Griffin's matter all along. He hadn't reminded him before because he lacked the strength to avoid arousing suspicion from the human elites and the demons.
Regardless, I now have the ability to protect myself, so I might as well give a reminder, just in case it can prevent some unnecessary trouble in the future.
After Lin Feng left, Long Haochen carefully reviewed the information about Austin Griffin in his hands.
The more he read, the more terrified he became.
The paper was so tightly crumpled that it crumbled.
Long Haochen found a secluded corner where there weren't many people.
Trying to calm himself, he said, "Haoyue!"
Long Haochen's tone was devoid of any emotion, yet even so, the usually mischievous Haoyue obediently flew out from between his eyebrows.
He stayed obediently in front of Long Haochen.
Long Haochen took a deep breath, staring intently at Haoyue, and said in a deep voice, "Haoyue, are you really the god of divine retribution that Brother Lin spoke of?"
Upon hearing Long Haochen's question, Haoyue shook her body frantically.
At the same time, he transmitted his voice through the soul contract: "Brother, I am not—"
"You say you're not, then why are you being hunted by those undead?"
Hearing the coldness in Long Haochen's words, Haoyue said aggrievedly, "Brother, I really don't know. From the moment I was born, those undead started hunting me down. I really don't know anything."
"When the demon god descended upon the Exorcism Pass, and I needed you the most, why didn't you appear no matter how I called out to you?"
"Also, apart from the first competition, you always hide when you see Brother Lin. Why is that?"
"I—" Haoyue froze on the spot for a moment, and after a long while, she slowly said, "Brother, I don't actually like your Brother Lin. His aura makes me feel very uncomfortable, and there's always a voice telling me that before my strength has fully grown, I can't expose myself in front of enemies I can't defeat, especially the Demon God—"
Upon hearing this, Long Haochen's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died!
He understood that Haoyue might really be the "Austin Griffin," the god of divine retribution that Lin Feng had mentioned.
Long Haochen seemed to have lost all his strength, and said wearily, "You should go back first."
Seeing Long Haochen so downcast, Haoyue wanted to say something, but the words caught in her throat.
Long Haochen ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill Haoyue. After all, if it weren't for Haoyue, he wouldn't have made it this far, and without Haoyue, he might have already died.
Long Haochen still held a sliver of hope: as long as Haoyue didn't evolve into a nine-headed form, Tianqian wouldn't awaken!
Lin Feng didn't say much in response to Long Haochen's reply.
Because the Demon King suffered a defeat, the monsters were much quieter for the next month.
The demon army, which used to attack the city almost every three days, has not been seen for half a month.
Occasionally, a few lone demons would wander outside the city, but they were all killed by the city's defense forces.
However, this also prevented the Demon Hunter team competition from continuing.
Seeing this, Sheng Yue could only assign a new task, sending the remaining Demon Hunters into the Demon Exorcism Mountains to hunt demons and monsters and earn merit.
However, the demons of the Exorcism Pass Mountains were really a waste of Lin Feng's demon-hunting team's talents.
Undoubtedly, even without Lin Feng's achievements, the achievements of Cai'er, Wang Yuanyuan, and others far surpassed those of other demon-hunting groups.
Undisputed number one.
After a month of working together, the team's cooperation has become increasingly seamless.
Exorcism Pass Airship Port.
After receiving the first-place award, Lin Feng led Cai'er and the others onto the airship bound for the Holy City.
As for Gao Yingjie, he had already returned to the Holy City after Lin Feng shattered Sang Liyao's spiritual aperture.
In just one month, Lin Feng and his seven companions had also made significant progress in their strength.
The most obvious example is Lin Feng.
His spiritual power broke through 6000 points, and his strength reached the fifth level of the sixth rank.
Cai'er's spiritual power reached 4200 points, level 6, level 2.
Apart from Lin Feng and Cai'er, the rest of them all had around 2700 points of spiritual power.
That is, the strength is around the fifth rank and level.
Long Haochen was slightly better, his spiritual power had broken through to three thousand points.
Since learning Haoyue's identity, Long Haochen has been cultivating even more diligently. He is always the first to face enemies, and his cultivation speed is the fastest among those of him and Cai'er.
Just before the airship was about to take off, Saint Moon suddenly appeared in front of Lin Feng and the others.
"Young man Lin, wait a moment. I have a few more words I'd like to say to you."
Upon seeing the newcomers, Long Haochen and the others respectfully greeted them, "Heroic Lord."
Sheng Yue nodded and looked at Lin Feng, continuing, "Lin Feng, there's something I still need to remind you of. Do you remember Li Yao, whose spiritual aperture you shattered before?"
-
"I remember, what's wrong?" Lin Feng asked.
"Be careful of the people from the Knights' Temple when you return to the Holy City this time. Although Gao Yingjie went back in advance to help you deal with this matter, there are still quite a few people within the Knights' Temple who have opinions about you. But don't worry, the Holy Alliance Leader and I are on your side. If they dare to lay a hand on you, I will definitely stand up for you."
Upon hearing Sheng Yue's words, Cai'er and the others' expressions immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
Wang Yuanyuan and the others were also aware of the matter involving Lin Feng and Li Yao.
At this moment, Wang Yuanyuan, who was always straightforward, immediately said unhappily, "Isn't the Knights' Temple going a bit too far? Not only did Li Yao try to steal the captain's Light Elemental Spirit, but he also tried to kill us at every turn. Crippled his cultivation is the least of our worries. The Knights' Temple not only doesn't say a word of justice, but they even dare to pursue the matter against our captain?"
"That's right, Commander, don't worry, I'll tell Grandma about this as soon as I get back. What kind of people are they!" Chen Ying'er echoed with a hint of displeasure.
Lin Xin, standing to the side, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Captain. My grandfather is the Vice Temple Master of the Magic Temple, and he will definitely stand by your side!"
