Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 151 Even the Son of Light Needs to Fall in Love?
As Lu Xi shouted, all the members of the Demon Hunter team rushed into the room.

"Commander, are you alright?" Wang Yuanyuan asked.

Cai'er has returned to her usual aloof demeanor, though a slight redness still lingers at the corners of her eyes.

She stood quietly by Moonlight's bedside, as if her earlier outburst had never happened.

Yuehui straightened up a bit: "It's alright, I just need to rest for a few more days."

Upon hearing this, everyone's tense expressions visibly relaxed.

In this relaxed atmosphere, Yuehui's gaze fell on the silent Han Yu.

"Han Yu, did you succeed?" Yuehui's voice was soft, but it instantly silenced the room.

Han Yu straightened up, his right fist pressed against his left chest: "I have successfully completed my mission!"

He paused, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, "But... if I had gained the approval of the Divine Throne a day earlier, the captain wouldn't have ended up like this."

Yuehui shook her head and interrupted him: "There's no need to blame yourself, this has nothing to do with you."

He turned to Long Haochen, "How has the battle been these past few days?"

Long Haochen stepped forward: "After our successful raid on Exorcism Pass, we also severely damaged the demon camp at Imperial Dragon Pass and killed two demon gods. Now the demons at each pass have become much more restrained, and the pressure of our attack has been greatly reduced."

Moonlight nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her pale face: "In that case, our goal has been achieved."

His gaze swept over each team member, his voice soft yet powerful: "Now that the demonic offensive has paused, it's time for us to return to the Holy City and advance our Demon Hunter Corps."

These words made everyone gasp for breath.

Above the Emperor level is the legendary Title level.

Throughout the long history of the Temple Alliance, only a handful of demon hunter groups have received this honor.

Even now, there are only two titled demon hunter groups active on the battlefield: "Demon God's Fall" and "Peerless Nine Heavens".

And now, they are about to become the third titled demon hunter team of the new era, and obtain an exclusive honorary title!

Yuehui slowly got up from the hospital bed, and Cai'er immediately stepped forward and gently draped the coat she had prepared over his shoulders.

He tightened his belt, and some color returned to his pale face.

"Let's go and say goodbye to the two palace masters," Yuehui said, straightening his collar.

"Yes, Commander!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices filled with barely concealed excitement.

Outside the council chamber of the Knights' Temple, Moonlight gently knocked on the door.

"Come in." Yang Haohan's calm voice came from inside.

When Yang Haohan saw Yuehui leading the entire group into the hall, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then stood up to greet them: "Group Leader Yuehui, are you alright now?"

Yuehui bowed respectfully: "We are grateful for Lord Yang's concern. We have come to say goodbye and are preparing to leave Yulong Pass today."

"Leaving so soon?" Yang Haohan frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "What about your injuries?"

"The demonic offensive has paused for the time being, it's time to go back and take stock of what we've gained on this trip." Moonbeam smiled slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "It's also time to apply for a promotion to a higher title level."

Title-level Demon Hunter teams hold a superior position within the Temple Alliance. In addition to needing to kill three ninth-tier demon gods, they also need to obtain the approval of more than half of the temples, according to regulations.

However, considering that the members of this demon-hunting team were all future successors of the Holy Temple, Han Qian did not tell them about this additional condition.

"In that case, I wish you all continued success in your martial arts endeavors."

Yang Haohan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed intently on the young demon hunter team before him.

Yuehui led everyone in a solemn bow: "Thank you, Palace Master Yang."

The heavy palace doors slowly closed, and the sound of footsteps faded into the distance.

Yang Haohan remained standing in the same spot, his gaze piercing through the tightly closed door, as if trying to see through something.

"Soon... the selection of the Alliance Leader will begin..."

After a ten-day journey, the Emperor-level Ninth Demon Hunter Squad returned to the Holy City, weary from their travels.

As the fighting at the six major passes eased, many demon-hunting groups stationed on the frontier returned to the city to rest and recuperate, and the streets of the Holy City gradually became lively again.

Without lingering, Yuehui and her group went straight to the Holy City Alliance Executive Government.

Pushing open the heavy door, they saw Han Qian bent over his desk reviewing documents.

"You're back?" His eyes flashed with joy, and his gaze lingered on Han Yu for a moment longer.

Indeed, the demon-hunting team's achievements had already spread throughout the Holy City.

The feat of slaying nine demon gods in succession became a hot topic of discussion among the six holy temples.

Even more exciting is that Han Yu broke Long Xingyu's record for the youngest Divine Seal Knight!

"We've come back to rest and recuperate, and at the same time, we're applying for promotion to the Demon Hunter Squad." Moonbeam went straight to the point.

Han Qian put down his quill and nodded slightly: "Actually, we had already held a meeting before you returned. According to the battle report, you have indeed reached the standard for the title level."

"However, the procedures still need to be followed. You can go back and rest first, and we will officially notify you when the formalities are completed."

“After all, during the Holy War,” Han Qian’s tone became solemn, “the birth of the new title-level Demon Hunter Group is a great encouragement to all mankind and needs to be publicized.”

Moonlight smiled slightly and gracefully performed a standard mage salute: "Thank you for your trouble, Paladin Commander."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all." Han Qian waved her hand with a smile, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smoothing out.

Moonlight turned to look at Han Yu and said gently, "Han Yu, I'm sure you have a lot to say to your grandfather. We'll head back to the Demon Hunter Villa now."

"Thank you, Commander!" Han Yu's eyes gleamed with gratitude.

……

Back at the demon-hunting villa he hadn't visited for months, Lu Xi slumped into the sofa and let out a satisfied sigh.

"It's so comfortable at home~" he said, drawing out his words.

Long Haochen was organizing his equipment when he suddenly spoke up: "Guild Leader, I have to go to the auction."

"Huh?" Lu Xi sat up straight with a start. "Haochen, do you have something to sell?"

"No." Long Haochen scratched his head awkwardly, "It's to repay the favor of the Ode to the Goddess of Light."

Chen Ying'er immediately flashed a sly smile: "Oh my, are our Sons of Light going on a date?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Long Haochen's ears instantly turned red. "That's not true at all!"

"What gossip? Tell me quickly!" Lu Xi leaned closer, her eyes shining.

"Before setting off for Exorcism Pass, Miss Ye Weiyang came to see us off." Chen Ying'er winked mischievously.

"Oh—" Lu Xi drawled, suddenly grabbing Long Haochen's hand, "Haochen! Help your brother! I'm almost thirty, and I've never even held a girl's hand."

"I...I don't know anyone." Long Haochen awkwardly tried to pull his hand away.

"Let your Weiyang introduce her!"

"Sister Weiyang isn't mine!" Long Haochen's voice trailed off.

“I understand~ I understand~” Lu Xi winked.

Long Haochen sighed helplessly, "Fine, you can come with me. But I can't guarantee it will work out."

"That's incredibly kind of you!" Lu Xi patted his chest. "If this really works out, I'll go through fire and water for you whenever you need my help!"
