Divine Seal: God Descends, Holy Priest Riding a Black Dragon

Chapter 57 Back to Earth
As the Son of Light, Long Haochen has always despised necromancers and has no intention of staying in the Eternal Slumber any longer.

The tower gate had already opened, so Wen Tai and Long Haochen had no choice but to leave the Eternal Sleep first. In any case, he had already obtained the Eternal Melody and could return at any time.

After emerging from the eternal slumber, Wen Tai noticed that the Eternal Melody had become somewhat scorching.

A large number of vengeful spirits had gathered outside the tower at some unknown time. These vengeful spirits rushed madly toward the Eternal Slumber, while the grayish-white light emanating from the Eternal Tower itself rose up like flames.

Then the entire cave began to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Immediately afterward, the Eternal Tower distorted before their eyes, and less than three seconds later, the Eternal Slumber vanished into the void.

"Let's go."

The two used a contract to teleport back to the ground.

The two were teleported from one dark area to another.

"Commander, Wen Tai?" A tentative voice came from the darkness.

“It’s us,” Wen Tai said.

After Wen Tai spoke, the people on guard in the cave immediately relaxed.

"How is it? What's the situation down there?" Lin Xin asked curiously.

As for Long Haochen, Cai'er had already pulled him aside to check if he was injured.

"Don't speak yet, it seems there are people outside," Han Daosi, who was on guard outside, said as he crawled in.

It was pitch black outside; night had fallen.

Han Daosi possesses a special secret technique that greatly enhances his night vision, which is why he was able to see the movements on the opposite hillside.

“They are demons. I dare not approach them. There are about thirty of them. The leader is even more powerful than the demon leader we intercepted. They just came down from the opposite mountain peak, and it seems that they have been spotted by us.”

"So, shall we fight or not?"

Long Haochen shook his head and said, "Avoid them. Once they enter the Cave of Fear and Howl, we'll make the most of our time to evacuate."

Evacuation?

The others looked at Long Haochen in surprise. Although this team of demons was powerful, they shouldn't have to retreat.

Wen Tai said, "Hao Chen and I have figured out the situation below. You guys go check the gems later. In short, we shouldn't clash with these demons!"

The group huddled inside the cave, and Austin used dark magic to seal the entrance. Only after the demon cavalry had entered the Howling Cave did they quietly move away from the cave peak.

"If we go back the way we came, will we run into the demon cavalry again?" Lin Xin asked.

"Lin Xin is right. It seems we need to change our route." Long Haochen took out a map and looked at it.

They only emerged from the cave when the sounds of the demon cavalry had completely disappeared from the outside world.

Instead of taking the same route they had come by, they continued deeper into the mountains and finally found a valley behind two peaks.

Austin and Haoyue explored the area together, and only after confirming that there were no powerful demons inside did the group choose to enter.

After settling down, Long Haochen released the probing gem: "This contains records of our experience going down there."

Unsurprisingly, the scene of exploring the gem ended before the death impact.

Long Haochen said, "While resisting the shrill sonic waves, I comprehended a self-created skill, which I will teach everyone later; as for the true nature of this tower, Wen Tai and I have not figured it out, and such a level of existence is beyond our comprehension."

No one doubted this. The images showed that the tower exuded an exceptionally majestic aura, and the fact that the two had escaped unharmed was already a sign of something far from malicious.

Han Daosi said, "Then we should hand this image back to the mission tower. That should be considered completing the mission, right?"

Wen Tai said, "We can definitely complete it, and the Mission Tower will have to give us an explanation. This kind of mission is beyond the scope of a general-level mission."

Yi Jun and Han Yu nodded: "We've also noticed that this mission is indeed quite difficult!"

"Okay, I'll reconfirm the difficulty with the Quest Tower when we get back. Let's all rest for a few more days, and then we'll figure out a way to return to the Alliance," Long Haochen said.

Wen Tai was very surprised that Long Haochen would hide the fact that he had obtained the necromancer's inheritance.

During his rest period, Long Haochen didn't sit idle; he began to guide everyone in learning the Ripple of Light.

This skill is not attribute-specific and can theoretically be learned by any profession, but its use is more subjective for melee professions.

However, this skill is extremely difficult to learn; apart from Han Yu who learned it on the first day, no one else has been able to master it.

Wen Tai only needed one glance to replicate the technique.

He spent the rest of his time cultivating spiritual power. After opening up his spiritual aperture, Wen Tai's cultivation speed returned to what it was when he was a child.

The increase in spiritual power is too abnormal; it has approached five thousand in just seven days.

During this time, Cai'er and Han Daosi went to explore the vicinity of the Howling Cave again and found that it had been completely surrounded by the demon race.

There are as many as three seventh-tier demon lords, and there may even be demons that are more powerful than demon lords.

Lu Xi approached Long Haochen and asked, "Commander Long, there's a demon army outside. How do we get back to the Holy Temple Alliance?"

Long Haochen said with a faint smile, "If we want to return to the Holy Alliance as quickly as possible, we'll probably have to rely on the Moonlit Merchant Guild's route."

"You want to join the Moonlit Chamber of Commerce?" Lu Xi was stunned.

Wen Tai said calmly, "It's alright, she has already made a contract with me, she can't play any tricks!"

With a contract in place, there's really no room for trickery.

Long Haochen gathered everyone together and told them about his and Wen Tai's plan to go find Yueye.

The two are the strongest among the thirteen demon hunters, so there's no need to worry about them going out.

Furthermore, Wen Tai and Yue Ye have a contractual relationship, so nothing serious should happen.

As the sun gradually set, Wen Tai and Long Haochen made a large detour and sped towards the core area of ​​the Central Province.

The two changed back into their Moon Demon attire. The night sky above was breathtakingly beautiful, with a clear, starry sky and a soft, luminous glow.

The two ran at breakneck speed, with very little time to rest.

The Demon City is about 400 kilometers away from the valley where they are hiding. It would take them 10 hours to reach it if they traveled at full speed.

Demon Heart City is the capital of the demon race, named after the heart of the demon god.

The Demon City was once the capital of a great human empire, but it was later occupied and transformed by the demons, and it took thousands of years to evolve into its current form.

Heart City is extremely large, unmatched by any city in the Holy Alliance, equivalent to twenty Exorcism Passes. Heart City is square in shape, with the Demon Emperor's Palace located in the very center.

Then, at the four corners of the Demon Emperor, palaces were built for the second, third, fourth, and fifth ranked Demon Gods.
