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

Chapter 97 Comparing Backgrounds? Never Afraid!

The former deputy hall master was furious: "What did you say?!"

"Old man, are you deaf?" Moonlight sneered, taking out a mithril gold token from his storage equipment.

"So what if you're a deputy hall master? Who isn't a deputy hall master?"

He tossed the token at the feet of the old deputy hall master: "Since you look down on the commander-level demon hunter team, then I'll speak to you in a different capacity!"

"Listen carefully—I am Moonbeam, the Vice Temple Master of the Magic Temple, and the Master of the Ancient Magic Potions Hall!" He said, enunciating each word clearly, "Is this identity weighty enough?!"

The old deputy hall master's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his aura immediately weakened by three points.

"Ahem, we're all family, why get angry?"

Qiu Yonghao quickly smoothed things over, waving his hand to dispel the old deputy hall master's imposing aura.

He knew very well that the man in front of him was not only Li Zhengzhi's grandson and the future successor of the Magic Temple, but also a ruthless character who had killed a ninth-tier demon god in Zhennan Pass.

what does this mean?
This means that it's only a matter of time before this Commander-level Demon Hunter Team is promoted to Emperor-level, and may even directly reach the Title-level!
Furthermore, which member of the team isn't a treasure of their respective temple?

If we really offend them, how will the Warriors' Temple maintain its standing in the Alliance?
Moreover, the significant reduction in casualties among the warriors of the Southeast Fortress was entirely due to the support of the magic corps dispatched by the Magic Temple!

Otherwise, faced with the demons' attack, they would have no choice but to use the lives of their warriors to pay the price!

Yuehui looked directly at Qiu Yonghao, her tone firm: "Palace Master Qiu, we have two purposes for coming to the Temple of Warriors. First, to fulfill Long Haochen's wish—to leave behind a sword intent for the Temple."

He paused, his voice growing colder: "You must understand that if Long Haochen is unwilling to reveal the existence of the Aria of Light and only uses it on the Demon battlefield, the Warrior Temple will never know the whereabouts of the divine sword."

"Why did you come?" Yuehui looked at Long Haochen, her tone becoming solemn: "Because our Long Haochen admires Senior Ye Wushang and feels that since he has been recognized as the master of the divine sword, he should do something for the Warrior Temple."

The tone shifted abruptly, and Yuehui's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Secondly, it's about Han Qianyu, the military commander of Xingxun City!"

The old deputy hall master's face turned ashen, and he demanded sharply, "What's wrong with my son-in-law?!"

"Oh?" Yuehui's lips curled into a cold smile. "So Han Qianyu, who protects his subordinates, oppresses the people, and insults the Demon Hunter Team, is the Vice Hall Master's son-in-law?"

His gaze was sharp as a knife as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "No wonder they're so arrogant; truly, like father, like son!"

"What exactly happened?!" Qiu Yonghao's expression changed drastically.

The first few charges were bearable, but the charge of "insulting the Demon Hunters" was one that even he could not bear.

“Grandpa Qiu,” Chen Ying’er stepped forward, her little face flushed with anger, “When we passed through Xingxun City, we saw with our own eyes a group of soldiers extorting money from the people. After we intervened and stopped them, we summoned the governor and the military commander.”

“But that Han Qianyu,” she said through gritted teeth, “dared to say that ‘the affairs of Starseeking City are none of the Demon Hunters’ business,’ and even cursed us, ‘who do we think we are, killing a few demons and thinking we’re something special!’”

Although everyone had already left, with their keen senses as sixth-level experts, they heard Han Qianyu's arrogant remarks clearly.

The entire Warrior's Temple fell into a deathly silence, and everyone's face turned extremely grim.

What exactly is the Demon Hunter Corps?
That's a special system independent of the Alliance Executive Government!
Each demon hunter group has the power to oversee the government, and high-ranking demon hunter groups can even impeach the temple master and officials of the Holy City!

"You little beast, stop spouting nonsense! How could Qianyu possibly utter such treasonous words!" The old deputy hall master roared in fury.

"Heh, with a lawless, bullying old man like you backing him up, what wouldn't he dare to do?" Yuehui sneered repeatedly.

"Don't believe me? You can go and check!" Chen Ying'er said, hands on her hips. "The people present at the time all heard it!"

The old deputy hall master's face turned pale and ashen, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Commander Yue," Zhongliang quickly tried to smooth things over, "how would you like this handled?" "According to the Alliance's regulations," Yuehui said casually.

These words plunged the former deputy hall master into an icy abyss.

If the allegations are verified, Han Qianyu will not only be dismissed from his post, but will also face more than ten years in prison!

“If the Warriors’ Temple is unwilling to handle this impartially,” Moonbeam’s eyes grew cold, “we will jointly report to the Holy City’s governing government.”

He paused, then said slowly and deliberately, "If even the Holy City doesn't care, then I'll have no choice but to ask Senior Chen Zidian, the Fallen Demon God, to judge this matter."

The old deputy hall master's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

That's a titled demon hunter team, a force that even the leader of the Holy Temple Alliance treats with utmost respect!

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Qiu Yonghao's forehead.

He originally thought it was just a minor matter, and that punishing a few officers who oppressed the people would be enough to resolve it.

Who would have thought that Han Qianyu would dare to openly insult the Demon Hunter Team—what's worse, this Demon Hunter Team happens to be composed of the "princelings" of the six great temples!
Each member has a temple master behind them, and they are all at an age where they are proud and arrogant. How could they possibly swallow this insult?

"Don't worry, Yuehui, I will personally oversee this matter and will punish them severely according to the alliance's regulations," Qiu Yonghao said firmly.

He turned to the old deputy temple master, whose face was ashen: "Luo Mian, you have worked hard for the temple for decades. From today onwards, go back and enjoy your retirement."

Luo Mian was visibly shaken, staring at Qiu Yonghao in disbelief.

Finally, like a defeated rooster, he staggered out of the temple gates, his back hunched.

After Luo Mian left dejectedly, Yuehui looked around at everyone and spoke again: "Next is about sword intent. If you are all worried, you can have Haochen demonstrate on the sword-testing stone first. If he can successfully leave sword intent, then we can infuse the Night Marshal statue with sword intent, how about that?"

These words were a wake-up call for the high-ranking members of the Warrior's Temple.

They whispered among themselves for a moment and nodded in agreement with this prudent plan.

"Haochen, it's up to you now." Yuehui patted Long Haochen on the shoulder, her eyes full of trust.

"Don't worry, Commander!" Long Haochen smiled broadly.

……

As dawn broke, Moonbeam and his companions departed from the Warrior's Temple.

"I didn't expect this, Haochen," Lu Xi teased, nudging Long Haochen's shoulder. "You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also a conman?"

Long Haochen scratched his head sheepishly: "With such a large piece of extraterrestrial meteorite right in front of us, why not take it?"

The scene from last night still shocks me – the sword-testing stone that more than a dozen warriors with over a thousand external spiritual power were carrying out was actually a rare and precious extraterrestrial meteorite iron!
Yuehui and Long Haochen exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other.

"Thanks to Yating's help." Long Haochen looked gratefully at the light elemental spirit floating in the air.

At Yuehui's instruction, he perfectly combined his sword intent with his power-gathering technique, not only successfully leaving his sword intent on the meteorite iron, but also managing to cut off more than a third of the meteorite iron as a reward.

"Thanks to Haochen, our entire guild has secured epic-level equipment!" Yuehui laughed.

This extraterrestrial meteorite iron is a top-tier material on par with mithril and adamantite; just a small amount can dramatically improve the quality of equipment!
"Haochen!" Wang Yuanyuan hooked her arm around Long Haochen's neck. "My new armor is counting on you!"

"Yes, we have them all!"
