Divine Seal: The little princess is vying and fighting to become the Demon Emperor.

Chapter 118 So what if you're at the ninth rank? You still dare to provoke me.
Chen Ying'er finally remembered why she was so eager to reunite with her friends.

Because something happened to her!
"What happened? Ying'er, don't panic, tell me slowly."

Yang Wenzhao quickly comforted Chen Ying'er.

After the recent shock, he's calmed down considerably. As long as Chen Ying'er is safe and sound, nothing should be able to agitate him anymore.

"I dug myself a hole, waaaaah!"

Chen Ying'er was almost in tears and couldn't calm down at all.

“Grandpa, Grandpa won’t let me join the Demon Hunter Group anymore. He wants me to stay in the Soul Temple and be a good deputy temple master.”

"He said that in our Soul Temple, there has never been a case of sending the deputy temple master out to risk his life to kill demons."

"He won't let me return to the Dawn of Light!"

Chen Ying'er was extremely upset. She had been crying, making a fuss, acting cute, throwing tantrums, and using every trick in the book, but nothing worked.

Her grandfather, Chen Hongyu, wouldn't budge no matter what she said.

"Ying'er, don't rush. Let us meet Palace Master Chen first."

Bai Haochen was somewhat surprised to hear Chen Ying'er's story, but he did not give up on bringing Chen Ying'er back.

He still wanted to give it a try with Chen Hongyu.

Just as Chen Ying'er said, Chen Hongyu was indeed very stubborn.

"There's no need to say anything more. Ying'er must stay in the Soul Temple!"

Bai Haochen had been trying to persuade Chen Hongyu for a while, but Chen Hongyu kept saying the same thing, which made Bai Haochen feel like he was doing something futile.

"Why???"

All four were puzzled and questioned Chen Hongyu, wondering what he was thinking.

"We need a reasonable reason."

"Reason? I want to protect my granddaughter under my wing and keep her safe. Isn't that the best reason?"

Chen Hongyu glanced at the young prodigies in front of him, but his attitude did not change much.

Ever since discovering that the curse of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass required the Soul Saintess to sacrifice her soul to break it, Chen Hongyu had lived in constant fear of losing Chen Ying'er. Even though the curse of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass had long since been broken, he still couldn't shake off this fear.

Chen Ying'er is his only granddaughter, and all he wants now is to make her safer.

"As you have all seen, the strength of the demon race has increased day by day over the years, and it is stronger than at any time before."

"The demon race has even established a Demon Hunter team specifically to exterminate demons. Under these circumstances, I do not wish for Ying'er to become a member of the Demon Hunter team again."

Chen Hongyu said so much, but there's really only one key point.

He believed that Chen Ying'er would be in mortal danger if she entered the Dawn of Light, and that the Dawn of Light could not protect Chen Ying'er.

"What Palace Master Chen said makes sense."

Bai Haochen nodded, seemingly agreeing with Chen Hongyu's words.

Even Chen Hongyu thought he had to persuade the others from the Dawn of Light, when Bai Haochen's "but" came.

"but."

“But I feel that you are even less capable of protecting Ying’er than we are.”

These words were too bold. Yang Wenzhao and Chen Ying'er couldn't help but look at Bai Haochen, their eyes filled with undisguised shock.

Chen Hongyu, who was not known for his good temper, was naturally enraged by Bai Haochen's words.

"Arrogant brat, what a boastful tone!"

"Although my cultivation is not high, I am still at the ninth level, making me the strongest in this Soul Temple."

"How dare you say that I am incapable of protecting my own granddaughter???"

Chen Hongyu was enraged by Bai Haochen's words.

If Bai Haochen weren't Chen Ying'er's friend and a rare prodigy in the alliance, he would have attacked Bai Haochen in a fit of rage.

Why don't you dare to speak up?

Bai Haochen only needs to show even more courage. He's got plenty of confidence now; there's no way around it, he has too many powerful backers. And he himself isn't much different, is he?
"Although Hall Master Chen is a senior and a ninth-level expert."

"But Palace Master Chen may not be able to defeat my Dawn of Light."

"The Dawn of Light is stronger, and naturally, it is more qualified to protect Sakura!"

Chen Hongyu almost laughed out of anger upon hearing this.

"What a joke!"

"You don't actually think that a few eighth-rank or seventh-rank individuals can defeat a ninth-rank individual, do you?"

"You know nothing about the power of a ninth-tier summoner!"

Chen Hongyu, however, did not believe that he, a dignified ninth-level psychic, would be no match for a demon-hunting team that had not yet fully matured.

"Then let's give it a try."

"If we defeat our senior, he will allow Ying'er to merge with us."

Full of confidence, Bai Haochen challenged Chen Hongyu to a duel.

Unable to resist this provocation, Chen Hongyu immediately agreed.

But a last shred of reason made him urgently withdraw Chen Ying'er.

"Ying'er cannot be included among you."

“She was being protected, so she can’t be counted.”

Although the request was a bit of a stretch, Bai Haochen still agreed.

It seems a bit inappropriate to let the grandfather and grandson fight each other.

"it is good."

"Once our other four companions arrive, we will dare to challenge Lord Chen."

When Han Yu, Lin Xin, and Wang Yuanyuan brought Sima Xian from the priest's temple, the challenge officially began.

However, Chen Hongyu was somewhat surprised when he saw the people who had come with them.

"Why is Palace Master Bai here?"

Looking at the woman dressed in the simplest white priest's robe, Bai Haochen's eyes revealed joy.

The person who came was none other than Bai Haochen's maternal grandmother, Bai Lingxuan.

He is also the current priest and temple master.

"I heard that something happened at your Ten Thousand Beasts Pass, but I seem to be too late. You have already overcome the crisis."

Bai Lingxuan gave Bai Haochen a smiling look before answering Chen Hongyu's question.

"The crisis at Ten Thousand Beasts Pass has long been resolved, so there's no need for Palace Master Bai to worry about it."

Chen Hongyu said this, but he was actually a little regretful. How could he have forgotten to ask the pastor's temple for help?

Putting everything else aside, with Bai Lingxuan, the most powerful priest in history, there was no doubt that the withered sacred tree would be reborn. There was no need to even consider letting Chen Ying'er take the risk back then.

"However, it seems that my timing wasn't so bad."

"It seems like I could witness some excitement."

Bai Lingxuan's gaze fell on the Dawn of Light, and she spoke meaningfully.

“I am here, you can do whatever you want without any scruples.”

"Because no matter how badly you are injured or how much you've used up, I can easily bring you back to full health."

So, go all out and compete.

To be honest, Bai Lingxuan did this with a bit of a "let's see what happens" attitude.

But it put Chen Hongyu at ease.

"Then I'll leave it to Palace Master Bai."

With Bai Lingxuan around, Chen Hongyu no longer worried that he might overdo it and seriously injure these alliance geniuses. He could fight without restraint and was certain that he would defeat this arrogant team.
