Feng Yao leaned against the headboard and closed his eyes to rest. At some point, Huang Shaotian moved a chair and sat opposite him.

"I say, kid, you've been hiding your strength well." Huang Shaotian peeled an apple and tossed it to Feng Yao: "Not counting that super beast, your strength is the best among the younger generation in the Holy Alliance."

Feng Yao caught the apple and opened his eyes helplessly: "It's still not enough. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have had a hard time leaving."

"Stop with the modesty." Huang Shaotian scoffed, taking a bite of an apple himself. "If you had wanted to leave back then, those eighth-tier Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragons wouldn't have been able to stop you. You noticed me, didn't you?"

Feng Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "I suppose so."

Huang Shaotian's tone shifted, his eyes sharpening, "Your silver-white battle aura is far too effective at suppressing dark energy. Just what is its origin?"

“My talent,” Feng Yao said.

Huang Shaotian raised an eyebrow but did not ask any further questions.

After being in the Demon Hunter group for a long time, who doesn't have a few secrets?

He was more concerned about something else: "Your general-level demon hunter team has some good members. They're so young and already at the sixth rank. Although they can't compare to you, they're still promising talents. Don't be so impulsive next time."

"Hmm." Feng Yao's tone softened a bit. "This time we suffered a big loss. I'll be more careful in the future."

"I'm afraid it's no use just because you're paying attention." Huang Shaotian put down the fruit pit, his voice deepening. "You've been so outspoken this time, they'll definitely be watching you. If you run into them again next time, it won't be so easy to escape."

He paused, then pulled a token from his pocket: "This is an emergency communication talisman from Aoshi Jiutian. Crush it to contact us. Don't be reckless. If you encounter trouble you can't handle, it's not shameful to call out."

Feng Yao took the token, which felt cold to the touch: "Thanks."

"No need to thank me, we're all from the human camp." Huang Shaotian waved his hand.

…………

At the same time, Ren Wokuang sought out the deputy hall masters of several major halls.

Although the Demon Hunters are directly governed by the Temple Alliance, they are essentially an independent system of their own, with their daily affairs being handled internally and rarely interfered with by the Alliance.

According to regulations, the Demon Hunter Guild should be directly led by the Tower Master of the Mission Tower, a position that has always been held in rotation by titled Demon Hunters.

However, these tower masters are merely figureheads, as they themselves are often away on missions.

Therefore, the actual management of the Demon Hunter Corps ultimately fell into the hands of several leaders of the Temple Alliance.

At this moment, the six deputy hall masters sat around the room, and when they heard the details of the matter, they all changed color in anger.

"Outrageous! How could such a mistake have occurred?" Granny Sanshui slammed her hand on the table, stood up abruptly, her face so dark it looked like it could be wrung out of water.

Lin Chen of the Magic Temple also had a livid face, with a terrifying fierce light surging in his eyes.

Han Qian and Ying Suifeng both had extremely gloomy expressions.

All six deputy hall masters were furious—such a serious mistake was simply unforgivable.

What worries them even more is that the demon-hunting team that is carrying out this mission has intricate connections with them.

"What the hell are those useless people doing? How dare they let the kids take on the wrong mission! This can't be left like this!" Ren Wokuang roared, his eyes wide with rage.

The pastor, Ruoshui, nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "That's only right. We must give the children a fair explanation."

Although none of their Priest Temple members are here, the six major temples have always been closely connected. Han Qian slowly began, "Long Haochen is my grand-disciple, and I should theoretically avoid this matter. However, he is the future hope of our Knight Temple, and we cannot afford any mishaps. If none of you have any objections, why don't you come with me to the Mission Tower?"

"Avoid my ass!" Sanshui spat angrily. "Chen Ying'er is still my own granddaughter! I'm not avoiding her, I'm going to protect them!"

The Demon Hunter Tower must be thoroughly reformed, and those responsible must be severely punished! Their actions aren't just dereliction of duty; they're tantamount to murder!

"That's right, what are you talking about? This is the first time I've seen that girl so aggrieved. This matter must be dealt with seriously!" Ren Wokuang was also furious.

"Let all demon hunters know that the Alliance will never let them bleed and weep."

The six deputy hall masters exchanged glances, their anger gradually turning into a resolute determination to fight a common enemy.

Ren Pingsheng was the first to stand up, waving his hand: "Let's go! We'll head to the mission tower now!"

The council chamber door was suddenly pushed open, and the figures of the six vice hall masters disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving behind only the lingering anger in the room and the sandalwood tabletop cracked like a spider web, silently telling the story of the beginning of this turmoil.

…………

Time flew by, and it was the next morning.

After investigating the matter, Ren Wokuang and his six companions first bowed and apologized to Long Haochen and the others who were resting in the small conference room.

Long Haochen and his companions hurriedly returned the greetings.

Han Qian straightened his posture and said solemnly, "After a thorough investigation by the Holy Alliance, this incident was caused by serious dereliction of duty by the Mission Tower. The staff failed to verify mission information as required and concealed the incident after it occurred, causing you all to carry out missions far beyond your capabilities, which almost led to a tragedy."

"The Holy Alliance deeply apologizes for this and will take the following measures: First, it will conduct a comprehensive overhaul of the Mission Tower, and all personnel involved will be immediately suspended from their duties pending investigation; second, it will establish a dual verification mechanism to prevent such incidents from happening again."

"Those responsible will face imprisonment of more than ten years." Han Qian's eyes sharpened. "And the person primarily responsible for dereliction of duty will be executed!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xin, Chen Ying'er, and the others' pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of shock appeared on their faces.

Although they knew the matter was serious, they did not expect the punishment to be so severe.

However, what they were unaware of was that the severity of this incident had long exceeded the bounds of what is normal.

Even if they are not the "Crown Prince Group", the Holy Alliance will never tolerate them.

Because the Demon Hunters hold a transcendent position within the Holy Alliance!

Members of the King-level Demon Hunter Team hold a position equivalent to any position below the Vice Temple Master of the Temple Alliance;

Once retired, members of an Emperor-level Demon Hunter Squad will at least serve as Deputy Temple Masters, while the squad leader can directly succeed to the position of Temple Master.

As for the titled Demon Hunter Teams? Even the leader and deputy leader of the Holy Temple Alliance are nothing more than juniors in their eyes!

They possess unparalleled privileges—they can mobilize all the power of the local Holy Alliance anytime, anywhere!
According to Ren Wokuang and others, the group that rescued Feng Yao and the others was the titled Demon Hunter Team Aoshi Jiutian!
Therefore, this matter should be thoroughly investigated regardless of the cause!
The execution of the person primarily responsible is inevitable.

This is not just a punishment, but a warning to everyone!
We must not let our heroes down!
These words were already etched in the hearts of the six temple masters, all of whom had once been members of the Demon Hunter Corps.

Now that they see their juniors suffering an unexpected calamity, they are naturally not going to let it go!

Of course, he also told Feng Yao these words and handed over the task.

Aside from matters concerning Aion, Feng Yao was completely open with his knowledge.
