Temple Knight Long Xingyu? This Is a Fucking Divine Seal Knight!

Haoyue City.

Morning.

Long Xingyu took Long Haochen to Haoyue City. Along the way, Long Haochen was brimming with excitement. After all, he had grown up in Odin Town and had rarely come to Haoyue City.

Now that his father, Long Xingyu, had brought him to Haoyue City, it was no wonder he was so lively.

Seeing Long Haochen like this, Long Xingyu felt a little guilty.

"After taking Haochen back to Dragon Control Pass, once he successfully awakens, I should also take him to Holy City to broaden his horizons."

"He's still just a child."

As he watched Long Haochen, Long Xingyu thought to himself.

The current Long Haochen was not the Divine Seal Knight of Brilliance and Leadership who wielded the Divine Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation. He was merely a ten-year-old child who had seen little of the world.

He needed to strike a better balance.

While Long Xingyu was lost in thought, he and Long Haochen arrived at the entrance to the Haoyue Branch Hall.

Several third-rank knights stood guard there. As a branch hall of the Knight Temple, it naturally could not allow people to enter at will.

"Sir, may I ask if you are from the Haoyue Branch Hall?"

"If you are not from the Haoyue Branch Hall and do not have an invitation token, you may not enter freely. Please forgive us."

Upon seeing Long Haochen and Long Xingyu, one of the guards raised a hand to stop them.

It was his duty.

As knights, they naturally had to uphold their duties. Thus, even though they could sense an extremely terrifying pressure from Long Xingyu—one that not even their Hall Master possessed—they still raised their hands to bar his way.

"People who aren't from the Haoyue Branch Hall can't enter?" Long Haochen asked helplessly. He had really wanted to go inside and take a look.

"I'm sorry, but those are the rules. It is our duty. Those who are not from the Haoyue Branch Hall may not enter unless they possess a Knight Temple token," the guard explained.

Long Haochen looked toward Long Xingyu.

Dad should have a way, right?

Long Xingyu was not angered in the slightest by their obstruction. Instead, he was full of admiration. The Knight Temple needed people like this.

If just anyone could enter the Six Great Temples, what rules would there be?

What if they were spies of the demon race?

Moreover, they had also stated the requirement for entry: a Knight Temple token that outranked the Haoyue Branch Hall.

With that thought, Long Xingyu casually took out a token and channeled spiritual energy into it for the people before him to see.

When they saw what was engraved on it—

The two guards were instantly dumbfounded.

The contents of that token were enough to leave them utterly stunned.

Temple Knight

Long Xingyu!

They did not know who Long Xingyu was.

But they knew exactly what kind of existence a Temple Knight was!

"Lord Temple Knight!" Upon seeing this, every guard immediately took a step back, performed a knight's salute, and called out solemnly.

Their attitude shifted from seriousness to respect—absolute respect.

Whether or not they could afford to offend Long Xingyu aside, the rank of Temple Knight alone was enough to grant him free entry into the Haoyue Branch Hall and warrant such treatment.

The knight branch halls were strict. If he had been one of those fallen knights, he could never have possessed a Temple Knight token.

After all, every member of the Temple Knight Order had made tremendous contributions to the Knight Temple and to humanity!

That was enough to prove that Long Xingyu posed no problem.

Thinking this, they immediately moved aside to clear the way.

Long Xingyu promptly led Long Haochen inside.

Only then did the guards let out deep breaths.

"I never thought he would be a Lord Temple Knight. That's a seventh-rank knight! Why would someone like that come to the Haoyue Branch Hall?"

"Shouldn't someone of his status be in a first-class city or one of the Ten Great Main Cities?"

"That aura was truly terrifying."

One guard patted his chest and spoke with lingering fear.

Another guard hurriedly urged him, "Stop talking so much. We may not know what's going on, but how could people like us possibly fathom a Temple Knight's thoughts?"

"Hurry up and notify Hall Master Nalan."

"All right, all right, all right."

Inside Haoyue Branch Hall.

The father and son walked through it.

At that moment, Long Haochen looked at Long Xingyu with admiration and said, "Dad, I always thought you were a Radiant Knight. I never expected you to be a Temple Knight!"

"That's someone with over ten thousand spiritual power!"

Long Haochen was incredibly excited.

He had never imagined that his father would be such a terrifying powerhouse as a Temple Knight.

It was simply astonishing.

"A Temple Knight is only the beginning."

"My expectations for you have never stopped at becoming a Temple Knight." Long Xingyu smiled at Long Haochen's words.

"Then what is it?" Long Haochen asked in confusion.

Then, Long Xingyu raised a hand and pointed toward the six chairs at the very center of Haoyue Branch Hall, toward the one on the highest tier.

The Eternal Creation Divine Seal Throne.

Seeing it, Long Haochen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"A Godly Seal Knight..."

"What did you say? A Temple Knight came to Haoyue Branch Hall?" Nalan Shu looked at the guard knights beside him in confusion.

"Yes. That lord is currently walking around the center of the branch hall with a child. You should hurry over," one of the guard knights said.

He was even more anxious than Nalan Shu.

"What would a Temple Knight be doing at Haoyue Branch Hall? Haoyue City is only a second-tier city." Nalan Shu was surprised, but then he suddenly thought of something.

Seventh-step knights acknowledged by the Knight Temple.

Were all inducted into the Temple Knight Order, which was precisely where the title Temple Knight came from.

They were the backbone of the Knight Temple in its battles against the demon race, and they also possessed the authority to inspect the countless branch halls throughout human territory.

If anything were uncovered during an inspection, the minimum punishment would be dismissal from office. Worse still, one could be thrown directly into the prison at Dragon Control Pass!

Nalan Shu could not help but grow nervous.

Though he had always done his duties conscientiously and diligently, and had practically never abused his authority for other purposes.

He was usually amiable and easygoing.

He just happened to enjoy chicken legs now and then, which had made him weigh three or four hundred jin.

But he was still panicking. It had nothing to do with whether he had done anything wrong; the main issue was that a superior had arrived.

Very quickly, guided by the guards, he hurried toward Long Xingyu's location.

Along the way, he came up with countless ways to phrase things.

In any case, he did not have much dirt on him, so everything should be easy enough to explain.

But then...

He swiftly abandoned those thoughts.

He arrived at the square of Haoyue Branch Hall and, under the guidance of the guard knights, saw that man.

The moment he saw that face, Nalan Shu jumped in fright. He immediately pulled the guard knight aside and did not dare approach.

It was as though he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"Did he show you any identification just now?" Nalan Shu asked with difficulty.

"Yes, he showed us a Temple Knight token," his subordinate replied.

"Was there a name on it?" Nalan Shu asked.

"Yes. Long Xingyu. Temple Knight Long Xingyu."

Upon hearing that name, Nalan Shu froze foolishly in place.

He did not know what he should say.

Long Xingyu!

Surname Long, given name Xingyu.

Nalan Shu remembered that name with extreme clarity.

The master of the Knight Temple, wielder of the Doomsday and Slaughter Divine Seal Throne, the Godly Seal Knight of Judgment and Trial—Long Xingyu!!!

What Temple Knight? He was clearly a Godly Seal Knight!
