Chapter 69 I will lead the charge!

"Wow, that's awesome!!!"

On the city wall, countless humans cheered. What a magnificent feat it was to slay the demon god on the battlefield!

Unfortunately, Su Zhe was in no mood to respond. The side effects of the Holy Spirit Heart activating the Rejuvenation Furnace had already begun, and his memories had returned to when he was one year old. He needed to take the Holy Spirit Heart back to the Exorcism Pass safely.

Fortunately, four eighth-tier Emperor Assassins had arrived at Su Zhe's side at this time. The five of them worked together and forcefully broke through the entire demon army, carving out a bloody path.

In the rear camp of the demon race, An Luo clenched his fists and cursed angrily, feeling utterly disappointed.

"That idiot Qingyao Qimo died twice at the hands of the same person. When a new Qingyao Qimo is born, just send him to guard the border!"

Sai Gong, the Winged Bull Madman, remained silent, a hint of fear still lingering in his eyes.

It should be noted that Qingyao Qimo had already died, and the one who appeared now was his successor. Saigong, on the other hand, was different; he had truly escaped death at Su Zhe's hands.

Having experienced the fear of death, the Communist Party of Saihanba has developed a psychological trauma towards Su Zhe.

Noticing Sai Gong's expression, An Luo frowned in disdain.

"Let's find reinforcements first. With Xier dead, the two of us alone can't seize enough resources."

Upon hearing An Luo say this, Sai Gong nodded hastily, as this was exactly what he wanted.

“I have some connection with the Bull Demon Clan, so I was able to find some Bull Demon Clan warriors.”

The Bull Demon Clan is also a main fighting force among the demons, but because they do not have the bloodline of the Demon God, their reputation is not as good as that of the Demon Clan and the Bear Demon Clan.

This is why the Bull Demon Clan has always tried to curry favor with any demon god with whom they have some connection.

For example, the Winged Bull Demon Sai Gong, and the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus.

An Luo was overjoyed upon hearing this. It seemed that Sai Gong was still somewhat useful. The Bull Demon Clan had always focused on attacking the Ten Thousand Beast Pass and fighting to the death with the Soul Temple of the Human Race.

If we could bring in the exorcist Guan, he would be far more effective than those dual-wielding demons.

Every Bull Demon warrior is at least a fourth-tier warrior, and they are extremely skilled at conquering cities and fortresses.

"Alright, I'll go ask the Demon Emperor for help and summon another Demon God. Then we'll launch a full-scale attack!"

Sai Gong nodded hesitantly, then turned and walked out.

Seeing that Sai Gong showed no sign of excitement, Anlu turned away in annoyance.

For so many years, it has always been these three demon gods who have attacked the Exorcism Pass.

Now that Sylvain has died right at the start of the battle, the Communist Party has also lost most of its fighting spirit. How can we fight this battle?
...Exorcism Pass
Looking at the Holy Spirit Heart, whose memories had returned to the age of one and whose curiosity was extremely strong, Lan Yanyu felt quite a headache.

With Lan Yanyu's abilities, she can manage to command the defense of Exorcism Pass for now, but problems will definitely arise in the long run.

Left with no other choice, Lan Yanyu had to ask Sheng Yue to take charge of the situation.

Fortunately, the demons weren't very aggressive during this period. Instead, they sent a large number of dual-wielding demons to their deaths every day, and then dragged their corpses back to use as military rations.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Zhe's injuries had fully healed.

During their recovery period, Su Zhe and Cai'er cultivated inside the Tower of Eternity.

Cai'er's cultivation has greatly improved.

It is worth mentioning that the operation of the Tower of Eternity requires a large amount of soul power as a foundation. The previously enormous soul power was solidified by Elex's methods and is difficult to lose.

However, after Su Zhe used it for several years, his soul power still weakened at a visible rate.

Fortunately, Su Zhe had killed many demons in the past few years and absorbed a large number of souls on the battlefield, which made up for the losses of the Eternal Tower.

After returning to Exorcism Pass with Cai'er, Sheng Yue and a group of Emperor Assassins and King Assassins were discussing the situation.

The demons haven't organized a decent attack in half a month, which is clearly unreasonable.

Upon Su Zhe's arrival, everyone present cast kind glances at him.

Su Zhe killed the Azure Demon Knight Xi Er and saved the Holy Spirit Heart, making outstanding contributions to the entire Exorcism Pass and indirectly saving countless lives. He deserves the respect of the Assassin's Temple.

"Su Zhe is here. Come over, let's discuss the current situation together," Sheng Yue called out.

“It was my great-grandfather.” Su Zhe bowed respectfully.

The high-ranking members of the Assassin's Temple present, however, sensed something different.

Su Zhe called Sheng Yue his great-grandfather?
Everyone's gaze turned to Sheng Yue. "You, Palace Master, you usually seem like a stubborn old man, but your great-granddaughter isn't even fourteen yet, and you've already sent her back?"

Several high-ranking officials with granddaughters of marriageable age were heartbroken. There was no one else in the world as a son-in-law as Su Zhe, who was destined to become a god-like figure!

Su Zhe approached the sand table and was puzzled by the fact that the demon flags had remained inactive for a long time.

Do you have any insights?

Su Zhe frowned. "Great-grandfather, which demon gods from the demon race attacked Exorcism Pass this time?"

“Flame Lion Demon Anluo Xian, Winged Bull Mad Demon Sai Gong, Azure Demon Rider Xi Er,” said Saint Moon.

Su Zhe's eyes narrowed. "So, there are only two demon gods outside the Demon Exorcism Pass now?"

Saint Moon nodded, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"That's right, but so what?"

“The demon race only has two demon gods here now, one of whom is not even at the ninth level. They certainly don’t have the ability to attack the Demon Exorcism Pass. The fact that they haven’t withdrawn their troops after half a month means they’re definitely calling for reinforcements,” Su Zhe analyzed.

Everyone was startled upon hearing this, and Sheng Yue gestured with his hands to reassure them.

"Then what do we do next?"

"Organize troops to counterattack the demons and inflict effective casualties before demon reinforcements arrive!"

Su Zhe's words caused a huge uproar.

Throughout the history of the conflict between humans and demons, humans have always been at a disadvantage, only able to fight on the defensive and counter-attacking. Occasionally, they would take the initiative to attack, but only for some purpose that they had to achieve.

Counterattack?

It's not that people look down on me, it's just that I don't have the ability.

Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, Su Zhe frowned and said.

"The fact that the demons haven't launched a major attack in the past two weeks means they're not strong enough to take us down. But if reinforcements arrive, their strength will definitely be no weaker than before. If we don't reduce their strength in advance, Exorcism Pass will surely pay a heavy price!"

Su Zhe said seriously, and the crowd began to discuss among themselves.

"Furthermore, is it possible that the Assassin's Temple can't even handle two demon gods?"

Su Zhe added fuel to the fire.

Upon hearing this, everyone present slammed their fists on the table and stood up in protest.

"Nonsense! Don't assume that all of us in the Assassin's Temple are cowards!"

"I can kill those two low-level demon gods all by myself!"

Su Zhe curled the corners of his lips and looked at the silent Sheng Yue.

"Great-grandfather, what do you think?"

Sheng Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Zhe meaningfully.

“Su Zhe, we assassins are not like knights; we are not good at head-on combat. This is why the Exorcist Pass is relatively weak in defense among the six passes. If we launch a counterattack outside the city, who will be the vanguard?”

Saint Moon's question left the high-ranking officials speechless.

Yes, assassins are not good at charging, and even if they wanted to counterattack, the Assassin Temple was powerless to stop them.

"It's very simple..."

Su Zhe spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

"The Exorcism Pass is supported by the Radiant Angel Knights, right?"

Saint Moon nodded, but then looked at the Holy Spirit beside her, whose memories had only returned to those of a teenager, and sighed sadly.

“But Lingxin cannot lead the Radiant Angel Knights; we do not have any high-ranking knights here.”

"Great-grandfather, have you forgotten that I have already broken through to the eighth rank, and am no longer the insignificant sixth rank I was five years ago?" Su Zhe said calmly.

Saint Moon's eyes widened. Could it be...?

"I will lead the charge!"
