Ten days later.
Below Demon Extermination Pass.
A carriage slowly approached and came to a stop beneath Demon Extermination Pass.
Crimson-gold patterns were engraved upon the carriage, symbolizing Long Xingyu's glory of Doomsday and Slaughter.
When they were still five meters away from the city, a fifth-step assassin guarding the gates immediately stepped forward to stop them, preventing them from advancing any farther.
Upon seeing this, a tall female knight with pink hair, clad in armor, stepped down from the carriage.
The moment he saw her, the gatekeeper shouted, "The demons' Spring Offensive is imminent. Do you have an alliance warrant?"
"We do not. We came from the Knight Temple," Li Xin explained.
"Please return. With the Spring Offensive at Demon Extermination Pass imminent, entry is not permitted without authorization. Without an alliance warrant, you may not enter!" the gatekeeping assassin said expressionlessly, as though he were the strictest existence in the world.
His duty was to guard this city gate.
Hearing that, Li Xin had no choice. If she had been the one guarding the gate, she would have acted the same way. That was only natural.
But they could not possibly leave her teacher and his wife waiting here like this, could they?
With that in mind, she turned back toward the carriage helplessly.
She found Long Xingyu and asked what they should do. Long Xingyu immediately told her to state his name.
Thinking of that, Li Xin promptly returned to where she had been.
"Why have you not left yet?"
"Do not think about forcing your way in. If you do, even if you are a high-ranking member of another Temple, the hidden experts will execute you on the spot!" the gatekeeping assassin warned.
He was not deliberately threatening her, but if he did not say so
