Passed the Assessment, Seeking Justice for His Son

Around Long Xingyu.

Waves of dangerous energy gradually emanated from him, saturated with killing intent.

His gaze was as sharp as a blade.

It was as though he had already seen those wolf demons and the Wolf Demon God.

"Wolf Demon God Ami's hunt..."

"I overlooked the fact that this newly ascended Wolf Demon God would come near Odin Town to hunt."

Previously, Long Xingyu had been busy training Long Haochen and considering coming to Haoyue Branch Hall to take Ye Hua and Li Xin away.

As for the Wolf Demon God, he had somewhat overlooked the matter.

After all, it was merely a Seventy-one Pillar Demon God.

Yet he had not expected them to dare attack the humans in the surrounding area.

Much less dare to provoke him by attacking Long Haochen.

This had served as a reminder to him.

With that thought, Long Xingyu immediately rose to his feet. The dangerous aura around him did not fade; instead, it grew even more intense.

Seeing this, the higher-ups of Haoyue Branch Hall gradually became fearful.

They did not know Long Xingyu, so at this moment, they believed he might be about to settle some scores. Odin Town fell under Haoyue City's jurisdiction, and as a branch hall of the Six Great Temples, clearing out the nearby demon race was their duty.

Since they had failed to do so, the fault lay with them.

But there was truly nothing they could do. Those wolf demons were too cunning and could run incredibly fast. There were even wolf demons above the fifth tier among them, so they had never managed to successfully wipe them out. Quite a few mercenaries had even died.

Still, those were only excuses. At this moment, they could only wait quietly for Long Xingyu's judgment.

However, Long Xingyu had no intention of taking his anger out on them. After standing, he took his son Long Haochen's hand and said, "Haochen, let's go first. We'll get to the bottom of this matter."

Hearing this, Long Haochen did not hesitate. He nodded and said, "Okay, Dad."

He did not know what Long Xingyu intended to do, but he trusted his father without reservation.

When he reached Li Xin's side, Long Xingyu paused slightly. Looking at her, he nodded and said, "Though it was unintentional, you passed my test. Make your preparations. You will head to Dragon Control Pass with Ye Hua."

With that, he led Long Haochen straight out of the hall.

Once they saw this and could no longer sense that dangerous aura, the higher-ups of Haoyue Branch Hall, realizing that Long Xingyu did not intend to hold them accountable, let out sighs of relief. It seemed that Temple Master Xingyu intended to handle the matter himself.

Li Xin was also dazed. When Long Xingyu had spoken to her just now, his dangerous aura had kept her from reacting immediately. Only now did she barely manage to steady herself.

What a marvelous aura?

Li Xin felt an inexplicable sense of longing.

Of course, she was not referring to the man himself, but to Long Xingyu's terrifying strength. Even though Li Xin was only a seventh-rank knight, she could tell that Long Xingyu was extraordinary.

Likewise, she was no fool and knew how to read the situation.

Seeing so many elders terrified, she could tell that Long Xingyu's identity, like his strength, was anything but ordinary.

She then turned toward Nalan Shu and asked, "Uncle Nalan, who was that uncle?"

"Haochen's father?"

"Who is he? With that aura, he must be an incredibly powerful Punishment Knight, right? And he scared all of you that badly? Did someone from the Temple Alliance come?"

"Uncle..." Nalan Shu could not help but feel speechless upon hearing that.

Only this little girl would repeatedly call that man "uncle."

Then he sighed. "He is the idol you have admired throughout your entire knightly career."

"An idol?" Li Xin hesitated. She had only ever had one idol during her knightly career, but how could that person possibly come to Haoyue Branch Hall?

Shouldn't he be at Dragon Control Pass?

She was just about to refute him and ask whether Uncle Nalan had mistaken who her idol was.

But then, she suddenly thought of something.

She froze.

"Haochen told me that his full name is Long Haochen. That means his surname is Long, and my idol's surname is Long too. There must be a connection between them. Could Haochen be his son?"

"Yes!" everyone nodded.

"So... that... that uncle is?" Li Xin's voice began to tremble, as though she had thought of something terrifying.

"That uncle is the wielder of the Doomsday and Slaughter Divine Seal Throne, the Godly Seal Knight of Judgment and Trial, Long Xingyu?"

"The strongest knight of the present age???"

No matter how slow Li Xin was, she finally understood. Her eyes widened from the sudden surge of emotion, filled with shock.

She had just met her idol?

Called him uncle several times?

And even taken his son as her little brother?

He even saved his son's life???

Wasn't this too incredible?

And what did he mean by that last sentence?

"Uncle Nalan, did the Xingyu Temple Master just say that I passed his test? That I can go with him to Dragon Control Pass?"

"Really?"

Li Xin was overjoyed. She looked toward Nalan Shu and asked.

"Yes. This was an opportunity I only managed to obtain after overcoming the psychological pressure. Fortunately, you seized it." Nalan Shu sighed. Fortunately, Li Xin had not let him down.

The tendency to stand up for justice that had often given Nalan Shu headaches in the past had now allowed Li Xin to seize an opportunity for success.

In the future, she would finally no longer be confined to a mere Haoyue City.

Once she became the Xingyu Temple Master's disciple, her Demon Hunt Group rank would be guaranteed!

"Li Xin, go back and make your preparations. The Xingyu Temple Master may leave for Dragon Control Pass at any time. When that happens, you mustn't delay his journey!" Ye Hua said as well.

Only then did Li Xin remember that Ye Hua would be going too.

She immediately nodded.

Without further hesitation, she quickly headed to her residence in the Haoyue Branch Hall to pack her belongings.

Everything happening before her felt incredibly unreal!

But!

It was all real!

On a mountain peak within the Odin Mountains.

Long Xingyu brought Long Haochen here.

This was the highest peak in the Odin Mountains.

After arriving, Long Haochen looked at Long Xingyu in confusion and asked, "Dad, what are we doing here?"

"Dad is going to seek justice for you. While I'm at it, I'll also save the Temple Alliance some trouble." Long Xingyu rubbed Long Haochen's head and smiled.

Having said that, he did not hesitate. He stretched out his hand. As a Divine Seal Knight, he possessed absolute control over light!

Layer upon layer of terrifying light elements gathered between heaven and earth, transforming into an incomparably dazzling radiance that burst from his hand. It became a pillar of light shooting into the sky, flickering with utterly terrifying power of light!

Within a deep cavern somewhere in the Odin Mountains.

Wolf Demon God Ami had originally been sleeping.

But upon sensing that terrifying radiance, he opened his eyes.
