Old Yang, I'm Sorry

Old Knight?

Long Haoyu was slightly stunned.

For a moment, he could not recall who Long Xingyu meant by the Old Knight.

But when he met Long Xingyu's unblinking gaze, events from two and a half years ago surfaced in his mind.

Could he be overthinking things again?

With his suspicious personality, he really might have gotten the wrong idea.

But when he mentions that Old Knight from back then, does he think the Old Knight I casually mentioned was some powerful existence capable of discovering the Demon Race's tracks?

Long Haoyu pondered inwardly. He suddenly admired his old man's personality a little. Being a Divine Seal Knight on the Holy Demon Continent was truly beneath his talents—his imagination alone would make him far more promising as a screenwriter.

Realizing that Long Xingyu had truly misunderstood something, Long Haoyu carefully considered who could have caused such a misunderstanding.

An Old Knight, and a very powerful Retribution Knight...

Could it be that person?

Long Haoyu came up with a guess, and was thoroughly impressed by Long Xingyu's wild imagination.

Long Xingyu stared unblinkingly at Long Haoyu, his cold eyes holding only one message: he was waiting for an answer.

Beside them, Long Haochen silently listened to the conversation between his elder brother and father.

Upon hearing that the Demon Race had infiltrated Odin Town, the lessons of the past two years had made him utterly loathe the Demon Race.

Now, his entire body practically radiated an urge to rush out and fight them at once.

But at eleven and a half years old, Long Haochen also understood how important the matter at hand was. Deep down, he was immensely curious about just who the Old Knight his brother had encountered back then was.

Old Yang, I'm sorry.

He's the one who got the wrong idea. It's not like I deliberately wanted you to take the blame.

If you find out later, blame my old man instead. Better yet, give him a good hard beating!

Long Haoyu sighed quietly to himself, then firmly met Long Xingyu's gaze again.

After seeing Long Haoyu hesitate for so long before finally hardening his gaze, Long Xingyu's already straight posture gained a touch more solemnity.

"It was him!"

"He was the one who told me about the Demon Race's invasion."

Long Haoyu answered in a low voice, forcing a troubled expression onto his face, as though he were reluctant to reveal the answer.

Long Xingyu let out a heavy breath of turbid air, his expression complicated. "So it really was him. If it was him, then the Demon Race's invasion..."

Long Xingyu's aura suddenly surged wildly. A frigid glint flashed madly in his eyes as he looked toward Odin Town.

Grabbing Long Haoyu and Long Haochen by the shoulders, Long Xingyu snorted coldly. "Those Demon Race ambush forces dared to invade human territory? Then let them be utterly wiped out!"

As he carried the two brothers into the air, a pair of massive golden wings, formed entirely from condensed Spirit Energy, unfurled behind his back.

The wings stretched over ten meters wide, every single golden feather on them vividly defined. They were not the most ordinary Spirit Energy wings, but seemed more like tangible objects.

Golden light enveloped the three father and sons. With a fierce beat of the golden wings, they shot toward Odin Town like a golden meteor.

"Brother, Dad's strength has actually reached the Sixth Order, a Radiant Knight!" It was Long Haochen's first time seeing Long Xingyu truly display his power. At the sight of those wings, his breathing could not help but quicken.

"Maybe!"

Long Haoyu replied with a smile. He guessed that Long Haochen had failed to see through the true nature of their father's wings, simply assuming they were the Spirit Energy wings of a Sixth Order Radiant Knight.

Long Xingyu's mind was not on the two brothers at the moment as he carried them through the sky at high speed.

A terrifying aura poured down from the heavens, while dense Holy Energy completely wrapped around the two brothers.

Simply standing in such an environment made the brothers' Spirit Energy seem to boil. Their Internal Spiritual Power had increased by at least more than double, though only temporarily.

My old man's ability could probably be used as a method of cultivation too. But this kind of improvement is only temporary, so it ultimately won't last.

Long Haoyu's heart stirred. Enveloped in Holy Energy, he had the urge to ask Long Xingyu to accompany him in cultivation while maintaining this state.

But he quickly suppressed that thought again.

Not advisable. Absolutely not advisable!

In just a few blinks, Long Xingyu brought the two brothers directly above Odin Town.

Odin Town was still peaceful. Street vendors called out their wares, while children ran through the alleys, creating a warm and harmonious scene.

Long Xingyu's sudden appearance and the dense Holy Power caused all the residents of Odin Town to notice him, and they raised their heads to look into the sky.

Everyone who saw this scene thought that a deity had descended upon the world.

Long Xingyu did not target humans, but he could not be bothered about anything else.

Whether Magic Beasts or wild animals, every creature in the forests lay prostrate beneath this pressure, consumed by terror and despair.

At the same time, over a thousand Demon Wolfmen hidden in a mountain hollow within the forest outside Odin Town were all dumbfounded.

The Golden-haired Demon Wolfman leading them had an especially confused look in his eyes.

Beneath that confusion, as he looked at the figure in the heavens and sensed the dense Holy Energy around him, his heart rose into his throat.

This was a powerful Human Race expert!

"Which of you exposed our tracks?" The Golden-haired Demon Wolfman drew in a cold breath and shouted in a trembling voice.

His terrified, unsettled gaze swept across the Demon Wolfmen of his kin. His entire body felt as though it had fallen into an icy abyss.

The Demon Wolfmen trembled violently. Sensing the arrival of a powerful Human Race expert, they all shook their heads frantically.

"We've all been here together. None of us went out."

"It's not time to carry out our ambush plan yet. There was no reason for us to act and expose ourselves!"

"..."

"..."

Facing the Golden-haired Demon Wolfman's questioning, several Demon Wolfmen hurriedly answered.

According to their original plan, there was still some time before they would launch their ambush. They had merely infiltrated in advance.

The goal was to overwhelm their enemies once they made their move, then withdraw swiftly.

But now...

They had been discovered before they could even act. What meaning was left in their so-called ambush?

Despair filled the Golden-haired Demon Wolfman's eyes. He simply could not understand where things had gone wrong.

High in the sky.

Long Xingyu discovered the Demon Wolfmen.

Looking at the more than a thousand Demon Wolfmen, the cold glint in his eyes became even more bone-chilling.

They had not even acted yet, but his carelessness had allowed so many Demon Wolfmen to lurk right beneath his nose. Unforgivable!

"Dad, let us go down!" Long Haochen looked at the many Demon Wolfmen, a trace of bloodshot redness filling his eyes. With a Fine Iron Sword in one hand and a shield in the other, he could barely restrain his urge to fight.

Long Haoyu looked at the Demon Wolfmen below, at each of their towering figures standing over 1.8 meters tall, and sensed their fairly strong auras.

His body, too, became excited at that moment.

No Edge, strapped to his back, began to hum faintly as well.

Real Demon Race members would definitely feel amazing to chop down!
