70: Engagement and Demon Hunting Group, the Demon Tribe's Spring Offensive begins!

Chapter 70: Engagement and Demon Hunt Squads, the Demonic Spring Offensive Begins!

After hearing Bai Yue's words,

Long Xingyu finally realized.

So, it was about this.

At this moment, Saint Lingxin also turned around and said earnestly, "Yes, Brother Xingyu, what sister-in-law just said is right. The two children are deeply in love right now."

"In the current situation, they can be considered childhood sweethearts. Coupled with our relationship, if we can truly arrange an engagement for them and they eventually get married, it would be a wonderful story."

Saint Lingxin was quite excited about this.

No kidding, there were so many good things happening today, everything was going smoothly.

Not only would his daughter, Cai'er, be able to resolve the side effects of the Reincarnation Trial that had always troubled her and all of them,

but he would also be able to form an even closer bond with his idol, Brother Xingyu.

To become in-laws!

Was there anything better than this?

This was a double blessing!

However, as soon as he said this, Saint Lingxin also turned to look at Saint Moon. Although he was Cai'er's father, when it came to the Reincarnation Saintess, the true authority still lay with Hall Master Saint Moon.

So, he intended to see if Saint Moon agreed.

What were they just talking about? Would it pass smoothly?

And what kind of emotions could Saint Moon have?

He didn't even intend to express an opinion.

Why would he need an opinion?

Not to mention that Long Haochen was Long Xingyu's son.

Moreover, he was also the Child of Light.

A marriage between the Child of Light and the Reincarnation Saintess required no hesitation at all.

Just agree, that's all. Besides, the Eternal Tower, which could help Cai'er successfully pass the Reincarnation Trial, was still with Long Haochen. Was there any other choice?

However, while others were talking amongst themselves,

Long Xingyu also walked up to Long Haochen and asked him, "Hao Chen, do you intend to finalize this engagement now?"

But the answer Long Haochen gave to this question surprised everyone.

"Dad, I don't want to," Long Haochen said.

"Why?" Long Xingyu asked, his eyes brightening, seemingly pleased.

"Although I like Cai'er very much, this is only our second meeting."

"And, although the Eternal Tower can help her, that's not a reason for me to tie her down. This is a big matter and shouldn't be decided so simply."

"This isn't a problem for me, but it's very unfair to Cai'er. If it's to happen, then when the time is right, please ask Dad to personally come to the Assassin Temple to arrange everything for me!"

Long Haochen spoke with absolute resolve.

And hearing this, Cai'er's eyes also lit up.

"Uncle, I think so too," Cai'er said, though it didn't quite fit her image as an assassin queen. She spoke somewhat weakly now, her small face still flushed.

And hearing this, Long Xingyu was extremely satisfied.

Yes, this was Long Haochen, this was Long Haochen, the Divine Seal Knight of Glory and Leadership!

Responsible, dependable, and not one to make decisions lightly!

"As expected of my son, Long Xingyu," Long Xingyu praised, then changed his demeanor and said seriously, "Alright, since you've said so, then Dad will give you a task."

Long Haochen was puzzled: "What task?"

"For now, the engagement is tentative, to be confirmed three years from now!"

"Three years from now is one of the most important events for the Temple Alliance, the Demon Hunt Squad Competition. At that time, Dad wants you to participate."

"Win first place in it, and once you succeed, Dad will personally come to the Assassin Temple to arrange your engagement."

"Of course, if you fail, then don't blame Dad, this engagement will be voided. Do you dare to accept?"

Hearing Long Xingyu's words, Long Haochen gasped.

He knew about the Demon Hunt Squad Competition; it was the highest competition in the entire Temple Alliance.

The Demon Hunt Squads that emerged from it would become the future high-ranking officials of the various Temples, and even the Temple Alliance.

The goal that all cultivators in the Temple Alliance strived for!

Long Haochen knew it would be difficult.

He also knew that he might very well lose.

But after glancing at Cai'er, he also firmed up his resolve.

As the Child of Light, Long Haochen understood his mission: to lead all existences of the Temple Alliance in the future, to defeat the demons, and to emerge from this dark era.

To become a ray of light in this darkness!

If he couldn't even succeed in that very first Demon Hunt Squad Competition,

then what was the point of talking about emerging from the dark era?

What was the point of talking about becoming the true light that would lead humanity out of all darkness?

He might as well give up.

"I understand, Dad. At that time, please await my good news." Long Haochen took a step back and performed a Knight's Salute, a father-son gesture, towards Long Xingyu. This represented his most resolute attitude!

"I will also give my all at that time," Cai'er added, her blush fading.

She wanted Long Haochen to become stronger!

Hearing this, Long Haochen nodded.

Driven by his father and Cai'er, his ambition grew even higher. He wanted to win first place in this Demon Hunt Squad Competition!

Meanwhile, the others, upon hearing Long Xingyu's words, were also amazed by his idea.

What a perfect strategic challenge.

And Saint Moon was pensive.

"Starry-Sky's move is brilliant."

Saint Moon recalled a past evaluation of Long Xingyu, that he was only good at being reckless but lacked the ability to teach others. If Long Haochen were to become first in the Demon Hunt Squad Competition, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to those people?

Moreover, the timing also aligned.

The Temple Competition, held every ten years, determined the Alliance Master.

The Demon Hunt Squad Competition, held every five years, determined the first Demon Hunt Squad.

And three years later, they would coincide.

And the situation at that time would perfectly be the father winning the position of Alliance Master of the Temple Alliance, and the son winning the Demon Hunt Squad Competition.

And at that time, both father and son would win their respective championships!

Wouldn't this also be a wonderful story!

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

And everyone began to discuss this matter.

However, suddenly, Long Xingyu, who was extremely sensitive to killing intent, abruptly turned his head and looked outside. Waves of killing intent, surging forth, flashed in his eyes.

This startled everyone around him.

But they all possessed a certain level of combat training, and with the exception of Bai Yue, they all immediately entered a combat state.

"Starry-Sky, what happened?" Saint Moon looked at Long Xingyu and immediately asked, expressing his confusion.

"The demons have started their invasion!"

"The spring offensive has begun!"

"And, if I'm not mistaken, this time, six Demon Gods have come!"

Long Xingyu's words drifted over, though calm, they carried a heavy killing intent. At this moment, endless pressure spread through everyone's hearts!

Bringing with it an infinite sense of crisis, it sounded an alarm for everyone present!
