Long Haochen was also looking in her direction. Sytry was once again shaken to see that even if his body was now in a very weak state, and his spiritual energy greatly overdrafted, at the time he landed onto the fortress, Long Haochens both eyes were still limpid, and devoid of any impurity.

Sytry let out another stuffy groan, spurting out some blood, We are withdrawing. Give the order of retreat.

Actually, the demons had been escaping in panic since long before. The charges of the assassin powerhouses sank the demon army into a total state of panic, and the influence of Sytrys Celestial Dance of Lust didnt make things any better. The units were trampling into each other, and thereby one could see that the demon armies were utterly defeated.

The demon army was actually not so powerful. The demon's ability to maintain command of their army was not the best. Individually, the Demons were strong, their fighting instincts unmatched by humans. But because of that, moving such an army. wasnt an easy thing to do. After suffering several critical attacks and effects, even the demon gods orders were unable to totally mobilize them.

What are you still waiting for? Fire, with full power! Returning to his senses, Sheng Lingxin shouted so loud that it made his voice hoarse. Right now, his body was still shaking because of the emotional excitation.

At the time he had sobered up, Long Haochens multi-colored light had vanished. Looking at the latter as he fell on the fortress, his mood was as one may well imagine. His son-in-law had once again just saved the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The demons state of disorder could be seen right in front of his eyes. If they didnt finish off the beaten enemy now, when would they be able to?

But unfortunately, due to the effects of the Emo Demon God Sytrys Heavenly Dance of Lust, a lot of people had yet to come back to their senses. And even if they did, they would be in a very poor state, and as a result, only a few magic cannons could really be fired this time.

But the fact that the Exorcist Mountain Pass couldnt launch an effective counterattack didnt mean that the Assassin Temple couldnt. Sheng Yue, who had escaped just before, now brought a group of powerhouses from the Assassin Temple to launch the counterattack.

They werent a lot, but every one of them was an absolute elite. Furthermore, the reversal of the situation enabled Sheng Yue to recover his calm. He didnt lead the assassin powerhouses to once again attack the demon army deep inside, but focused on beheading the frenzied demons on the edges of their formation.

The six demon gods were putting all their energy into reassembling their panic-stricken troops, and couldnt attend to them. Like that, the demon troops which had suffered the effects from the Heavenly Dance of Lust were cut like wheat in front of Sheng Yues group.

Although the battle was still unfinished, these assassin powerhouses were all foreseeing an unprecedentedly total victory to take place this day.

Han Yu returned alongside Long Haochen, and shouted to Sheng Lingxin, Senior chief, please bring Caier here. We have a way to accelerate the recovery of her spiritual energy!

Now that the general situation was settled, all that was left for the Exorcist Mountain Pass to do was to help the dying and the injured. Sheng Lingxin hastened to join Lan Yanyus side and brought the half-unconscious Caier beside Long Haochen.

Despite being in a very weak state, his mental state was still okay. Seeing the wisps of blood flowing on the corners of her lips, he couldnt help but hold her in his arms with a tender gaze in his eyes.

A soft, white light came out from Han Yu, instantly growing to a diameter of ten meters. After over a year, his Spiritual Stove of Blessing of Light had undergone a new evolution, increasing its area and effects of recovery. While greatly accelerating the recovery of spiritual energy, it also held extremely great healing effects.

And since Han Yus consumption from the previous battle was not severe, he immediately used a healing spell on Caier to deal with the overdraft of her body.

The Light Blessing ability naturally didnt only affect Long Haochen and Caier. Star King and Sheng Lingxin, as well as Han Yu and the nearby soldiers and officers were all also enveloped.

Sheng Lingxin felt the changes in his internal spiritual energy, secretly full of shock.

Is that? The power of a spiritual stove? But what kind of spiritual stove is that? In his memories, there existed no such light elemental spiritual stoves! Such a massive ability of recovery was enough to match a first tier spiritual stove! It looks like I am really outdated. Nowadays youngsters are already reaching such levels of strength.

Under the effects of the Spiritual Stove of Blessing of Light, Long Haochens weakened state was coming back to normal. Star Kings state was also greatly ameliorated. Caier gradually came back to her senses, but finding out that she was upon Long Haochens bosom, she once again shut her eyes. After having lost her memories, she also lost that strong personality she used to have, and she had more moments simply being nothing more than a delicate girl. In her present frail condition, she needed a warm embrace to rely on even more.

This battle didnt last for much longer, but the resistance of the Exorcist Mountain Pass had a decisive effect on the Holy War.

Not only were the greatest part of the demons injured or killed, but more importantly, their morale had been struck like never before. To the Exorcist Mountain Pass, this was a thorough and complete victory. For rather low losses, they had inflicted a crushing defeat on the demons. Adding further the consecutive deaths of two demon gods, the Exorcist Mountain Pass perpetually inferior position had finally gained a qualitative change, sending the message that they wont necessarily fear such all-out attacks.

After a bit more than a hour, the demon army was finally done retreating, and in front of the Exorcist Mountain Pass only demon corpses were left. The soldiers that had the strength for it were commanded by Sheng Lingxin to retrieve the corpses and sweep the battlefield clean.

The demon corpses were gathered, and immediately set to flames after their magical crystals were retrieved. This avoided the spread of a plague from these corpses while cutting off one of the demons sources of food. After the work of gathering went until the evening, they were finally done with that battle. Far off, the demon armies which had assembled didnt even have many tents and provisions left. Their supplies were so scarce that it actually became a miserable sight to behold.

This was a decisive victory, which brought an unprecedented rise to the soldiers morale. The weak and injured were rapidly recovering, and large amounts of magical crystals were offered as supplies for the magic cannons to regain their destructive power.

In the following half years time, the Exorcist Mountain Pass kept a strong bearing against the demon threat. Sheng Yue personally commanded the elites from the Assassin Temple a few more consecutive times for night raids against the demons, retreating every time after just a few attacks. Although the damage thus inflicted to the demons wasnt much, the destruction of their tents and units unsettled them. In shortage of resources on the rear, and with the soldiers totally devoid of morale, Sytry had no choice but to command their entire army to pull back twenty-five more kilometers, to pull apart from the Exorcist Mountain Pass.

Also, at this time came batches of all new supplies as well as 30,000 more soldiers to the Exorcist Mountain Pass as reinforcements, giving new breath to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, to borrow Sheng Yues words. In the current situation, the Exorcist Mountain Pass would have no issue with defense for several more years. Furthermore, they could now launch a counterattack against the demons at anytime. Of course, this was under the premise that no demon reinforcements had come.

Would they have reinforcements coming up? It was certainly possible, but also unlikely. The start of the Holy War also placed a massive burden on the demon side. They had put almost all their forces to use for the sake of pressuring the six great human forts at the same time. A year and a halfs battles depleted both the demon and the human sides forces to a very great extent. The demons obviously had some backup forces in reserve, and their most powerful Devil Dragon Clan, Moon Clan and Star Clan had yet to join the battle, but these were their hidden trumps. If these trump cards are revealed like that, it will mean that things have come down to an unreconcilable state, where one of the parties must die for the other to stop fighting. Would the Demon God Emperor really allow that?

Furthermore, although the demon armies suffered an unprecedented blow and no longer had the strength to break through the fort, they had enough forces for defense. However, the present forces on the Exorcist Mountain Pass, in case of a direct fight on a plain field, were not enough to have an easy battle

In a road inside the mountain range, Long Haochen and Caier was seated on Star Kings back, with Han Yu on the side. The three of them were looking into the distance toward the Exorcist Mountain Pass.

Caiers eyes were hazy with tears for a long time. Nestling against Long Haochens embrace, her body was lightly trembling.

She couldnt forget the expressions her great-grandfather and parents had as the time for her departure approached. Because they couldnt keep down their feelings, they didnt even see her off.

The Exorcist Mountain Pass situation having already stabilized, the time for their departure had come.

Long Haochen held her tight, lowered his head, and held her head softly, We will be back.

Yeah. Giving a light nod, Caier nibbled her lips, Lets go. She feared that if she didnt go now, she would perhaps really have the urge to rush to the Exorcist Mountain Pass.

The final outcome of the war of the Exorcist Mountain Pass was unpredictable. Even though Long Haochen had not been killing any enemies in that last battle, Caier and him had undoubtably been useful. Caier was immediately announced to be the next successor for the Assassin Temple and Long Haochen gained supreme honor, honored as Hall Master for the Assassin Temple.

This honor did not receive any objection because Long Haochen just did far too much for the Assassin Temple.

By relying on the Divine Snail Shields reflection, he saved them from the desperate crisis, turning the tides completely, and inflicting massive damage to the demons, while avoiding the destruction of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. One could say that he had saved the Exorcist Mountain Pass, as well as the Assassin Temple. Being honored as Hall Master was simply just desserts for such a contribution, and obtained an unanimous approbation. In addition to that, his relationship with Caier made Long Haochens newly made reputation in the Exorcist Mountain Pass rise even above Sheng Yues.

The name of the Twelfth Golden Knight was memorized by all the officers and soldiers, and this Saint Knight Head became an eternal comrade and close family of the Assassin Temple.
