Chapter 795: Take The Initiative! An Army Of Sharp Knives (I)
Shu Yongxiao only said those words and then she stopped and looked up and down at Long Haochen. The glow flew into the bloody eyes, no one knew what she was thinking.
“But what? Please tell me,” Long Haochen said hurriedly.
Shu Yongxiao said, “Over the years, in order to survive longer, we have almost completely lost contact with the outside world, except to hear the news from your Knight Temple once every few decades. This trip, I am afraid, will be our last. And for thousands of years, in addition to sleeping, each of us has gained more or less a few unique skills. I hope the Union can choose a group of excellent young people for us to pass on our skills. We do not need you to respect us your teachers. But these young people are required to be savvy and honest. I don’t care about others, at least they should be the same level as you.”
“This is …” Long Haochen mused for a moment and said with embarrassment, “The ancestors are willing to teach lessons, which is a good thing for the Alliance. I’m all for it. It’s just that it may be difficult for you to find someone like me.”
Long Haochen was really not being arrogant. In terms of talent, who in the Temple Federation could compare with him? His innate spiritual power was as high as 120, which was the constitution of the God of Light.
Xiao Huo smiled and said, “Son, you have been fooled. Yongxiao was clearly fond of little girlfriend you just mentioned. She said it quickly because she is afraid someone else will claim her. She is the first-generation master of the Assassin Temple.”
Long Haochen suddenly understood and he scratched his head and said, “Caier is sure to be alright. She will be very willing to learn from you.”
Shu Yongxiao turned and looked at the crowd of Eternal Heroes. “Did you hear that?” said Shu Yongxiao with a smile. “I do not care how talented the girl is. I’ve already made up my mind by her honest and integrate heart.”
“Xiao Long, you can’t favor one over the other!” Another old voice sounded, and an old man took a few steps forward and said, “Xiao and Master Shu have robbed all the best. I’m not asking for much. Anyone from the Light Dawn Demon Hunter you’re talking about is good enough.”
As soon as Long Haochen was about to say yes, the Eternal Heroes around him almost crowded around him, and the strong ancestors, who were incomparably quiet just now, were now more and more eager and talkative, and they all wanted to have a good student from the Light Dawn Demon Hunter groups.
No wonder these Eternal Heroes were like this. They all knew that they would not exist in this world for long. If they could pass on the hard work of their whole life, they would still exist in the world in another form. And often a strong master was easier to find than a good apprentice! Long Haochen had just said that the ten members in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, were all in their early thirties, and the lower one was also the level-eight peak, eight of which were all ninth-level, and half of them were strong in the domain.
Where else could they find such a genius? There was no one could compare with them all over the Temple Alliance! Xiao Huo immediately woke them up. The response of Shu Yongxiao was the fastest, and the reaction of others was also not slow. Although these Eternal Heroes were headed by Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, when it came to finding inheriting disciples, they would not give way to each other. They not only surrounded Long Haochen in the middle, but their emotions got more and more excited, as if they were about to fight.
“Everyone, please listen to me.” Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Long Haochen hurriedly said in a loud voice. At the same time, the Eternal Armor on his body emitted a layer of glowing white eternal light, which awakened every Eternal Hero in that strange psychic fluctuation.
The Eternal Heroes, more than 60, quieted down for a while, but their eager eyes were all focused on Long Haochen. They were waiting for Long Haochen to give them an explanation.
Long Haochen earnestly said, “I can understand your feelings. Everybody, don’t worry. Maybe it’s because we humans are about to fight against devils. In recent years, we do have many young talents. Please rest assured that I will find for you one hundred hereditary disciples under the age of 40 who have the practice level more level eight. All of us in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group will be among them. As for the final choice, I think it should depend on fate. We might as well let you all draw lots together. I will not tell you in advance their levels but only group them separately according to their positions. The one who picked the right lot can choose a disciple he like. We will do it again and again until all of you have chosen one. What do you think of this?”
These Eternal Heroes were all strong ninth-level. With the exception of Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, other people’s practice level was actually the same. They all knew that if they fought with each other, no one could convince the others. Long Haochen’s proposal was also fair. The crowd nodded one after another, and this was the only way to solve the disturbance.
Long Haochen added, “Since the ancestors agreed to go out with me, do you have any other things that you want? I’ll prepare them for you.”
After all, these Eternal Heroes hadn’t left here for thousands of years. Long Haochen didn’t know whether they still could adapt to the outside world, or what they needed. That was why he asked.
Shu Yongxiao said, “Don’t worry, we are not that fragile. Just prepares a big cloak for us. That’s enough. As for our identity, you say to the outside world, we are your bodyguards.”
Long Haochen said hurriedly, “What…? That’s not proper.”
Xiao Huo raised his hand to interrupt him and said, “Let’s put it this way. We have existed in the world for more than 6,000 years, and reputation is important, as long as we achieve our goal. However, thank you very much for your consideration and willingness to correct our name. As long as you can lead the Union to repel the devils completely in the future, and let humans rule the world again, we will be satisfied. That’s all we ask. With you, we can finally see that our dream might come true.”
Long Haochen said, “I feel ashamed.”
Xiao Huo smiled and said, “Don’t be modest. If you were just as capable as you were when you confronted me just now, would you be able to become president of the Union? At the beginning, I have seen with my own eyes the power of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Even if it is your domain, it was carried out to the extreme. You go ahead and get ready. After we go out, I will stay with you for a while until you fully learn the three forms of Brahma.”
“Understood.” Long Haochen respectfully agreed.
Shu Yongxiao said, “Wait a minute, Xiao Long. You still need to be clear about the overall strength of our 63 old undead to arrange us in the war with the Devil’s clan. Xiao and I are both at level nine of rank seven. Among the others, there are 16 people above level nine of rank five, and the others are all above level nine of rank three. Just to have a general idea about it.
Long Haochen’s heart was really shocked for a moment. Sixty three strong people with at least nine level of rank three or above might not be able to make it out of the whole Temple Federation. What’s more, there were sixteen level nine of rank five and two level nine of rank seven, which could at least counteract the threat posed to human beings by the first race of the Devil’s clan, the Anti-Heavenly Dragon clan. It could be said that, with the support of these Eternal Heroes, human beings not only had the strength to fight against the devils, but also at least increased their chances of winning by more than twenty percent.
They left the cave and took back the Holy Mountain’s order to the core legal array. As soon as he came out, Caier immediately woke up from the state of practice. Long Haochen had to face a group of ninth-level strong people, and no wonder she could not concentrate on her practice. She actually didn’t get into the contemplation state at all and seeing Long Haochen’s returned intact, she finally got relieved.
Long Haochen simply explained what happened during his trip, Yang Haohan could not help but become overjoyed. It could be said that Long Haochen was extremely successful for what he did. He was not only recognized by the Eternal Heroes and they agreed to fight, but also the Eternal Heroes were willing to teach the younger generations.
Long Haochen did not know the profession of these Eternal Heroes, but Yang Haohan knew it very well. Out of all the 63 Eternal Heroes, one third were knights. As for the eight or more ranks, although it was difficult to find strong people under the age of 40 in the Knight Temple, the head of the six temples could still be scraped together. The Light Dawn Demon Hunter group alone had five knights, and plus Lin Xin and their young generation of excellent knights, there was no problem in inheriting the unique learning of these Eternal Heroes. The other five temples were also linked together so all was well.
Yang Haohan left Long Haochen to wait at the Knight Temple as he returned to Yu Longguan as fast as he could, and in less than half a day, brand-new clothes and cloaks were delivered to here.
Clothes were all made of fine silk, not only tough, but also warm in winter and cool in summer. It was especially good for keeping the body warm. It was the same with the cloaks. There was this thin gold wire rolling edge on the clothes and cloaks. It was not obvious in the room, but when the sun shone, it would emit a touch of golden light, with a kind of low-key sense of luxury.
Long Haochen brought these clothes and cloaks into the cave again and distributed them among the Eternal Heroes. All 63 strong men followed him and left the cave through four times of transmission.
Standing at the core of the Knight’s Holy Mountain, all the Eternal Heroes fell into silence, feeling the rich elements of light which made them uncomfortable, and their mood changed even more violently.
After thousands of years of deep sleep, they finally wanted to leave, and this time, they probably would never be able to return. Their minds had been precipitated for thousands of years. It was impossible to say that there was no change at all.
