158: The final result was Qiu Yonghao's apology.

Perceiving the aura that was released,

everyone present was stunned.

They looked at it with a somewhat dazed expression.

Those who could attend this auction were at least at the sixth rank, capable of discerning the quality of a person and an aura.

And likewise, they could tell.

The master of this aura before them must be a terrifying powerhouse of the ninth rank!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

This child, no wonder he could gain the approval of the Aria of the Goddess of Light at such a young age; it turns out his father is a ninth-rank powerhouse.

Soon, the smoke and dust dispersed.

Suddenly, everyone saw the figure beside Long Haochen.

A tall and strong physique, imbued with an absolute aura of slaughter that made many present tremble, and everyone here recognized the person before them.

The strongest Divine Seal Knight of the Knight Temple, the master of the Throne of the God of Doom and Slaughter, the Knight of Divine Seal of Judgment and Inquisition, Long Xingyu!

This? How is this possible?

Long Xingyu could actually appear here?

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

And those who had originally intended to make a move were now patting their chests, some even scared to the point of wetting themselves, not daring to reveal their figures, but instead retreating several steps and scurrying away.

Are you kidding? This is Long Xingyu!

That Divine Seal Knight who holds grudges, dominates everything, and judges all!

Upon seeing Long Xingyu appear, the eighth-rank knight trembled all over, his body shaking, wanting to say something at this moment, but not daring to speak directly. Instead, he looked at Long Xingyu, stuttering and unsure of what to say.

No, who would have thought?

Behind such a young boy would actually be Long Xingyu!

Logically speaking, someone taught by an existence like Long Xingyu should possess an aura of slaughter and absolute sharpness. Why does this young boy have such a righteous and peaceful demeanor?

However, he couldn't say such things now.

Because he knew that a great crisis had already descended upon him.

“Hall Master Xingyu, this time I was possessed by a demon; please spare me.”

“I have rendered meritorious service to the Temple Alliance, and now I am a member of the Berserker Hall of the Warrior Temple. With the great battle at Southeast Fortress imminent, keeping me alive would definitely be a good thing for Southeast Fortress!”

The eighth-rank warrior said this.

However, he still harbored ill intentions.

Although his surface attitude was respectful, his underlying meaning was extremely clear.

The implication was that although Long Xingyu was the Hall Master of the Knight Temple and the Vice Alliance Master of the Temple Alliance, with the authority to inspect the Six Great Temples, he, as an eighth-rank warrior and a member of the Berserker Hall,

While Long Xingyu had the right to intervene, if he did, he would have to consider whether it would worsen relations with the Warrior Temple, especially since the Temple Competition was currently underway!

And Long Xingyu naturally understood his threat.

However, with his composure, how could he be angered by just a few words?

“You're right. As a member of the Berserker Hall, even the Hall Master of another Temple doesn't have too much authority to manage them.” Long Xingyu nodded.

Hearing this, the eighth-rank warrior was delighted. Had he gotten through this smoothly?

However, in the next moment, Long Xingyu continued, “However, as the Hall Master of the Warrior Temple, there's no problem in managing the Berserker Hall. I won't interfere too much.”

Long Xingyu said calmly.

Hearing this, the eighth-rank warrior was completely dumbfounded.

Just then, on the edge, a special and brilliant light appeared, carrying layers of anger.

The eighth-rank warrior immediately looked in that direction.

And at first glance,

he was stunned.

Because this person was their Hall Master!

Qiu Yonghao!

Upon seeing this, the eighth-rank warrior was instantly dumbfounded.

No, why was their Hall Master here too?

And, looking at the situation, he had emerged from the same position as Long Xingyu. Hadn't it been said that their Warrior Temple was directly allying with the Magic Temple this time, with no intention of remaining neutral or anything else?

Hall Master, what are you planning to do?

However, this matter was actually a minor one now.

Because this eighth-rank warrior could see that the gaze Qiu Yonghao was directing at him was extremely unfriendly, which was enough to indicate that he was now incredibly furious, wishing he could act immediately.

But how could Qiu Yonghao not be angry?

One must know, that was Commander Ye's sword, the greatest evidence Commander Ye left in this world, and it was filled with Commander Ye's sword intent.

To be acknowledged by this sword was equivalent to being recognized by Commander Ye.

And this fellow, because of the sword's value, intended to attack this child?

This was the greatest blasphemy and disrespect towards Commander Ye!

Moreover, that child was Long Xingyu's son, and in the future, he might even become their Alliance Master, or at the very least, a Divine Seal Knight-level Hall Master of the Knight Temple. How could he make such a move?

“Hall Master, I was also possessed by a demon this time. Please, for my past merits and hard work, spare me this once.” The eighth-rank warrior was completely cowed at this point.

He was very clearly aware of their Hall Master's character. With something like this happening now, it would be difficult for him not to lose something.

However, he deserved it.

“Considering your loyalty to the Warrior Temple, what you did is still unforgivable. Henceforth, your membership in the Warrior Temple's Berserker Hall will be revoked.”

“Furthermore, you will enter the Warrior Temple's Prison Guard Corps and fight there. When this young man reaches the eighth rank, you may leave the Prison Guard Corps. As for whether you can be reinstated to your original position, that will depend on the young man's thoughts at that time.”

Qiu Yonghao said directly.

His eyes were incomparably cold.

His power of light surged, and he was now waiting.

If this guy were to directly say he was unwilling, or even angrily curse Long Haochen and Long Xingyu, then Qiu Yonghao would not hesitate to strike him down on the spot.

“The Prison Guard Corps?” The eighth-rank warrior gritted his teeth.

That place was where criminals were imprisoned in the Southeast Fortress; they would be branded, and once they left a certain area, there would be a reaction, even suffering and torment.

Qiu Yonghao said this, primarily intending to reassure Long Haochen and Long Xingyu, and to give an explanation to the Knight Temple.

The eighth-rank warrior naturally knew this.

But the eighth-rank… it's really...

This young man looks to be only fifth-rank.

Eighth-rank would take at least twenty more years, right?

Twenty years in the Prison Guard Corps… that wouldn't be easy.

“So, you're unwilling?” Qiu Yonghao asked.

“No, I am willing to atone for my actions against this young brother and voluntarily enter the Prison Guard Corps!” (End of chapter)
