Background / History
Cai'er's Spirit Stove Crisis
Saint Moon is Cai'er's great-grandfather and became involved when her Reincarnation Spirit Stove reacted violently and caused her to faint following Long Haoyu's return to her life. Suspecting a connection between the two, he sought to bring Long Haoyu in for verification, first clashing with Han Qian over the Knight Temple's protection of the boy 110 111 112 114.
He revealed that Cai'er was the Reincarnation Saintess, while Han Qian disclosed that Long Haoyu was a Child of Light with 100 points of Innate Internal Spiritual Power and an exceptionally formidable Knight Temple lineage. The exchange forced Saint Moon to treat the situation more cautiously 113.
Interest in Long Haoyu
Saint Moon was stunned to learn that Long Haoyu possessed the Six Paths Spirit Stove, whose name and apparent connection to the Assassin Temple's Six Paths of Reincarnation carried major implications for Cai'er. He quickly began considering Long Haoyu as both a potential asset to the Assassin Temple and a suitable match for Cai'er, hoping to prevent the Knight Temple from “taking” the Reincarnation Saintess away 117 122.
He personally tested Long Haoyu's Asura Path transformation. Though initially confident that he could easily restrain the fifth-order youth, Saint Moon was alarmed by Long Haoyu's relentless instincts and instantaneous recovery from non-fatal wounds. He ultimately showed concern over the risks of the ability rather than treating the test as a simple contest 123 124.
His effort to pull Long Haoyu toward the Assassin Temple led to a confrontation with Yang Haohan. Saint Moon's superior direct combat strength could not overcome the defense of Yang Haohan's Divine Throne of Order and Compassion 125 126.
Acceptance as Family
After Long Haoyu's progress on the Hell Path suppressed the Reincarnation Spirit Stove's backlash and restored Cai'er's sight, Saint Moon recognized the importance of protecting him. He ordered that Long Haoyu be safeguarded at all costs if necessary 135.
Saint Moon's attitude changed decisively after Long Haoyu stopped Cai'er from using the Reincarnation Spirit Stove recklessly and promised to protect her on the Demon Race Battlefield. Saint Moon accepted him as family, instructing him to address him as “Great-Grandfather” 200.
Demon Extermination Pass
At Demon Extermination Pass, Saint Moon repeatedly acted to protect the Long brothers and Cai'er. When they were exposed outside the pass during the arrival of the Three Great Demon Gods, he forcibly withdrew them rather than allowing them to remain in danger 209.
He handled a Light Element Spirit Stove submitted by Long Haoyu's squad with unusual impartiality, deciding that the Light Element Spirit should choose fairly among the ten Demon Hunt Squads rather than keeping it for the Assassin Temple 218.
When the Demon God Emperor besieged Demon Extermination Pass, Saint Moon prepared the Assassin Temple to fight to the death to delay the enemy and defend the stronghold. After the Demon God Emperor's withdrawal, he connected the event to the Long brothers and their extraordinary Magical Beast Partners, then brought them before Chen Zidian and the Demon God's Fall to establish a cover story protecting their secrets 223 228 229.
Campaigns Against A Bao
Saint Moon recognized Long Haoyu's assessment that the demon commander A Bao likely belonged to the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan's Royal Family. Although he initially considered assassinating A Bao, he restrained his killing intent after realizing that doing so could provoke the Demon God Emperor and endanger Demon Extermination Pass 239.
In response to the Demon Army's show of force, he ordered a counter-assassination campaign against important demon generals and required every newly formed Demon Hunt Squad to participate. He argued that future powerhouses could not develop through excessive protection alone 241 243.
After A Bao's assassination attempt against the Rank 1 Demon Hunt Squad, Saint Moon barred all ten squads from leaving Demon Extermination Pass, prioritizing the protection of the two Children of Light, the Reincarnation Saintess, and the Chaos Physique within their ranks 272.
During later fighting, he stood between Long Haoyu and the Three Great Demon Gods, prepared to face them directly rather than allow them to reach the younger man 285.
Renewed Recruitment Efforts
Saint Moon's awareness of Long Haoyu's ability to affect the Reincarnation Spirit Stove renewed his desire to secure him for the Assassin Temple. He regretted abandoning the idea earlier and considered using Long Haoyu's bond with Cai'er to strengthen the Assassin Temple's position among the Six Great Sacred Temples 266.
Chief Grand Elder Xue Zhisheng supported Saint Moon's plan after learning of Long Haoyu's role in Cai'er's progress. However, the Knight Temple's overwhelming protective response—particularly Yang Haoyu's involvement—eventually caused Saint Moon and Xue Zhisheng to abandon any attempt to forcibly claim Long Haoyu 267 313.
Appearance
Saint Moon is an elderly ninth-rank assassin whose presence is commonly marked by dense gray spiritual power and extreme speed.
- A gray short sword manifests behind him when he prepares for battle 123.
- His high-speed movement leaves long afterimages, described as a gray dragon when he carries others at full speed 209 228.
- When confronting the Demon God Emperor, he summoned his gray short sword to resist the overwhelming pressure 224.
Personality
Saint Moon is fiercely protective of Cai'er and reacts strongly to anything that endangers her. His initial hostility toward Long Haoyu came from suspicion and fear for her condition; once Long Haoyu proved his commitment to Cai'er's safety, Saint Moon became a supportive—if still demanding—elder figure 110 114 200.
He is impulsive, proud, and easily provoked by the Knight Temple, especially Yang Haohan. His rivalry with Yang Haohan frequently turns into bickering or open confrontation, yet Saint Moon is capable of reassessing a situation when the consequences become clear 125 126 239.
As a leader, he balances boldness with long-term planning. He believes young Demon Hunt Squad members must endure real danger to mature, but he also intervenes decisively when their value to humanity makes a risk unacceptable 241 272.
