Divine Seal: A Bao was born, and the delicate beauty was snatched away

Chapter 220 The Situation Turns Around
When Dream Paradise ended, those who had been guarding it from the outside, whether demons or humans, were almost driven to madness.

Looking at the twelve unharmed people before her, Ayalina's eyes welled up with tears.

Ling Xiao and the other humans, seeing that one of their members had been killed and that the others were injured and looked exhausted, had tears welling up in their eyes.

Red with anger.

How could one not be infuriated by their listless appearance compared to the energetic and spirited demons?!

"Did you encounter demons inside?"

The moment Bai Lingxuan welcomed the team back, she counted the number of people and discovered the problem.

As she asked, she summoned the priests from the temple beside her and began treating the seven wounded little ones who had returned.

Seeing that Feng Haochen and the others remained silent, Ling Xiao grew increasingly anxious. Taking advantage of the restrictions in the Dream Forest, he boldly shouted at the demons, "Did you break your agreement and ambush our people in the Dream Forest?"

"Who launched the sneak attack?"

Yueyan didn't give Ling Xiao a chance to speak again. The recording stone directly projected the scene of them being ambushed by two humans in the Dream Forest, allowing everyone present to see it clearly.

The footage clearly shows that the humans launched the sneak attack first, and the demons only retaliated.

"It's good that you survived."

That's really good. The two who launched the sneak attack over there have recovered a lot after treatment.

When they came out, the two of them looked the worst. Even though Feng Haochen and the others had already treated them, there wasn't even a healing priest among the group they were traveling with.

"Since there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."

Ayalina looked at the children with satisfaction, then turned to confirm that the other heirs were all alright before preparing to leave.

Ling Xiao opened her mouth as if to say something, but was pulled back by the others beside her.

If there is any truth to what the demons said, then since seven of them have returned, someone should be the one to refute it.

In fact, while Ling Xiao was confronting the demons, Feng Haochen and the others were discussing in private what exactly happened to the last one who didn't return.

It was trampled to death by the monsters inside.

It's not entirely true that they have no connection to the demon race, but even if they do, it's not a strong one.

Because he was the one who first tried to use the magical beasts of the Dream Forest to attack the demons, but the demons ran too fast and he couldn't keep up and was trampled to death.

This happened on the last day when Feng Haochen and his group encountered the demons again after obtaining the new spirit furnace. The demons told him about it, and Ye Xiaolei even testified for them.

It would be even more embarrassing if this were said to someone's face, but thankfully the demons didn't say anything.

But this only made Ling Xiao and the others more frustrated.

This is far from the outcome they expected.

Meanwhile, Ayalina wasn't in a hurry to ask the heirs about the Dream Forest.

These children's worries are written all over their faces; you can tell at a glance.

After leaving the Dream Forest, Ayalina and her companions returned to the place where the human and demon armies had first confronted each other.

At this time, Ananda had been waiting for Ayalina with the demon army for quite some time.

Facing Ananda at the forefront was Long Xingyu, who stood with Han Qian.

Ayalina didn't want to look at Long Xingyu's bitter and resentful expression at all, but even with a helmet on, the bruises on his lips were still too ridiculous to hide.

No need to ask, Ananda did it.

Long Xingyu arrived at Zhennanguan later, but he already knew almost everything that had happened before through Han Qian.

His confrontation with Ananda here serves to intimidate the demons, and also to support Ling Xiao and the others.

However, seeing the group of demon hunters who emerged from the Dream Forest with somewhat low morale, Long Xingyu understood that the outcome of this mission was not going smoothly.

Unlike Ling Xiao and the others' gentle demeanor, Long Xingyu coldly snorted and muttered "trash" at them. Upon hearing this, not only Ling Xiao, but even Han Qian standing to the side frowned, feeling that Long Xingyu's behavior was inappropriate.

When Feng Haochen looked up and met the face of the ordinary yet imposing middle-aged man following the sound of the cold snort, a feeling of resentment rose in his heart.

Why did this person scold them without asking any questions after arriving and without knowing the specifics of the situation?
When Long Xingyu looked up at Feng Haochen's face, which was even more beautiful than a woman's, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, as if he had just remembered something.

With the help of Feng Haochen and others in the Dream Forest, Zhang Fangfang from the Warrior Temple noticed Long Xingyu's dislike for Feng Haochen. Zhang Fangfang immediately stepped forward and blocked Feng Haochen's way.

Perhaps because they were both from the Knights' Temple, Feng Haochen couldn't do anything impolite. However, he was from the Warriors' Temple, and his teacher and Feng Haochen's teacher were also friends. Whether it was out of friendship between elders or out of gratitude for being saved by Feng Haochen in Dream Paradise, he felt it was necessary to stand up for him.

At the same time, Cai'er also looked coldly at the man who called them trash.

The more she looked at it, the more she disliked it.

A woman's natural intuition told Cai'er that this man was not a good person.

Seeing that Feng Haochen, this "pretty boy," needed someone to protect him, Long Xingyu looked down on Feng Haochen even more.

A knight who doesn't protect others but is "protected" himself—what kind of logic is that?
Thinking about it this way, Long Xingyu felt more and more that the selection criteria of the Knights Temple had been too lax in recent years.

There are very few new generation riders who he finds acceptable.

However, Long Xingyu ultimately did not make things too difficult for a junior. As he watched so many demons emerge from the Dream Forest, Long Xingyu focused more of his attention on the demons.

Upon learning that the Cursed Demon God was the white-clad woman who led the group, Long Xingyu recalled the appearance of the Cursed Demon God he had ambushed deep into the Demon Realm years ago, and realized that this woman was the new Demon God who came after that time.

"The cursed demon god has never been seen to show his face to the human race before."

Seeing that Long Xingyu's attention had shifted away from the group of juniors, Han Qian immediately signaled to Ling Xiao to send them back first, as it was not yet time for the juniors to get involved in what was to come.

Similarly, A Bao and his group, escorted by a group of Heaven-Defying Demon Dragons, Moon Demons, and Star Demons, went ahead, while Ayalina, along with Bai Meng and Anan, and the demon army that had been stationed there, stayed for a while longer.

The two stared at each other for a long time, when suddenly Ayalina used magic to transmit her voice to Zhennan Pass—

"It was a pleasure working with you. Let's meet again next time."

After saying that, the demon army departed as if the tide were receding.

Long Xingyu had thought they were going to have a fierce battle, but he didn't expect it to end so easily.
"How much benefit did the demons actually gain from the Dream Forest?"

Long Xingyu immediately deduced that the Demon Clan must have benefited too much this time, which was why they didn't care about violent war.

Han Qian's face stiffened as soon as he finished asking the question.

This is indeed something worth investigating further.

Therefore, after only half a day of rest upon their return, Feng Haochen, Cai'er, and the other five were summoned again by the high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance to inquire about the events in the Dream Forest.

···
"So, Haochen and the others probably obtained four spirit furnaces?"

Ayalina knew that the humans had gained too little because of her interference, but she didn't expect it to be this little. Now that she had specifically sought out Abao to ask him about this, she could imagine how angry the humans must be.

In order to conceal the existence of the Eternal Tower, perhaps only Feng Haochen among the humans knew that he had obtained the Spirit Furnace.

"And what about our side?"

"At least one per person."

"Oh~"

The word "at least" is associated with spirituality.

However, this is indeed the best news imaginable.

Then Abao said, "Mother, I've arranged to meet Haochen at Treasure City after this matter is over."

"Alright, given that child's inquisitive nature, he'll probably come."

As she spoke, Ayalina sighed in relief, her attention returning to Leng Xiao...

Feng Haochen: What they took were all my spirit furnaces!!
