Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

After everyone was seated, he spoke in a deep voice:

"I have summoned you all here suddenly because I have important matters to arrange!"

"The events that happened to the No. 1 Demon Hunter Team during the previous Military Mission No. 1 are known to all the Demon Hunter Teams and your team leaders."

"Therefore, regarding this matter, after discussions with many senior executives, we have decided to change the previous arrangements, effective from this very moment—"

"All members of the Demon Hunter Team are forbidden from leaving the Demon Exorcism Pass!!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire venue immediately fell silent.

Long Haoyu fell silent, as did all the other leaders of the Demon Hunter teams, including Gao Yingjie and the other ten team leaders.

Long Haoyu was quite surprised; he hadn't expected Sheng Yue to make such a final decision.

I vaguely remember that during the last emergency meeting, Saint Moon talked about countermeasures and also mentioned training their many demon hunter teams to hone their skills and overcome hardships.

However, not long has passed, yet the original decision has been completely overturned and changed back to its current form.

All members of the ten demon-hunting teams are forbidden from leaving the Exorcism Pass, which is clearly the idea in the initial discussions to protect these so-called 'young elites'.

However, after learning about Sheng Yue's final decision, Long Haoyu's initial surprise began to lessen, and he began to guess what Sheng Yue's considerations were in making this arrangement.

His elite-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 1 had already been attacked and killed by the demon commander, A Bao, so other Demon Hunter Squads were very likely to encounter the same thing.

Even if the possibility is extremely small, it must still be taken into account, otherwise it would be like sending the demon hunter team to their deaths on purpose.

Most importantly, there's the question of the identities of the many members of their elite-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 1.

Two Sons of Light, one Saintess of Reincarnation, and one Body of Chaos—this lineup allows Saint Moon no room for carelessness.

If even one or two demons are lost outside the exorcism gate, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Although such an arrangement could indeed provide great protection, Long Haoyu did not believe that it could truly develop as Sheng Yue wished.

Staying indoors is one option.

But even if you don't go out, you'll still encounter other things.

The current situation is one that cannot be resolved by simply running away.

Ah Bao, his maternal uncle, is never one to be trifled with!

After this defeat, and after confirming that he possessed the bloodline of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Clan,

Next time, it will surely bring an even more terrifying offensive!

Even if they 'escape' within the exorcism barrier, in the end they can only—

There is no way to avoid it! !

Chapter 273. A Bao's Big Move

Saint Moon saw that everyone was silent.

His cold, sharp gaze swept over everyone before finally settling on Long Haoyu.

Seeing Long Haoyu deep in thought, his brows, which had finally relaxed, furrowed again.

"Long Haoyu, leader of the No. 1 Sergeant Demon Hunter Squadron!"

"Does your Sergeant-level Demon Hunter Squadron One have any objections to the military's arrangements?!"

Saint Moon asked again in a deep voice.

Seeing Long Haoyu's current state, he felt uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

In particular, Long Haoyu's insights on many things are indeed quite unique, and it is very necessary to figure out what Long Haoyu is pondering at this moment.

"Lord Returner!"

"Our Sergeant-level Demon Hunter Team No. 1 has no objection to this decision."

"However, I believe that your decision, sir, will likely have very limited effect!"

"Based on our previous encounters, I don't think that demon commander is the type to give up on us just because many of our exorcism team members haven't left the exorcism pass!"

Long Haoyu answered with a firm and resounding voice.

Since Sheng Yue asked this question, he didn't mind telling her what was on his mind.

This also allows the leaders of the other nine demon-hunting teams, including Yang Wenzhao, to learn about this matter and make some preparations in advance.

Otherwise...

When his maternal uncle launches his next swift offensive, he will likely suffer a great loss without any preparation.

At best, there will be casualties; at worst, the entire force will be wiped out!

Even within the exorcism zone, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

"This is a decision we had to make after deliberation among our senior management, and it may not develop as we expected."

"But given what's happening right now, this is the only way we can ensure your safety."

"After all, given your normal growth, you shouldn't encounter so many variables, so we need to control everything as much as possible."

"Of course, if you all manage to get through this crisis without these arrangements, it will be even better for your future."

"But this isn't the safest option, so we at the top can only adopt a relatively safe approach!"

Long Haoyu remained silent, listening attentively to Sheng Yue's arrangement.

Having already understood Sheng Yue's predicament, he naturally wouldn't raise unnecessary questions about such matters.

Although he himself loves fighting and longs for his next battle with Po, the growth of his teammates is also a factor he needs to consider.

He is no longer the impetuous teenager he was a few months ago.

Putting teammates in danger for one's own selfish desires is certainly not a desirable course of action.

"Alright, I have finished explaining what needed to be explained!"

"From now on, you can focus on your training within the Demon Exorcism Pass!"

"If there are any further notices, I will summon you here again for further arrangements!"

With a wave of his hand, Sheng Yue settled the matter and then signaled to Long Haoyu and the others that they could leave.

Unlike when they arrived, the group leaving this time was not moving very fast, and Yang Wenzhao and the others felt particularly heavy-hearted.

Their minds were filled with the things that Sheng Yue had just arranged, and their brows were furrowed deeply.

Thinking that he would have to spend the next two months cultivating in the Demon Exorcism Pass, but could not actually leave to hunt demons, he felt uneasy.

Even though fighting on the city walls still allows for some interaction with the demons, the battles on the city walls and the battles outside the Demon Exorcism Pass are on completely different levels.

During the previous Military Mission No. 1, they clearly felt this, and there was a sense of enjoyment in it.

As Yang Wenzhao pondered, he also noticed Long Haoyu, who was deep in thought as well: "Brother Haoyu, are you also thinking about the arrangements for not being able to leave the Exorcism Pass?"

“A little, but there are some other things as well,” Long Haoyu replied.

Yang Wenzhao patted Long Haoyu on the shoulder: "It seems we've thought of the same thing. But since the military has made this arrangement, I think I should congratulate your No. 1 Demon Hunter Squad in advance."

"Before this Military Mission No. 1, you brothers Haoyu had already successfully killed a sixth-order demon, and you must have made many merits during the previous interception missions."

"Even though this Military Mission No. 1 was a failure, you did have a battle with the Demon Commander at the same level, so your merits must be considerable."

"We can't go out anymore, so we probably won't have a chance to overtake you in terms of merit. This time, the first place in the team competition will probably belong to your No. 1 Demon Hunter Team."

After Yang Wenzhao finished speaking, the leaders of the other demon-hunting teams all came forward to offer their congratulations in advance.

Long Haoyu smiled slightly: "Brothers, the future is still uncertain. There are still two months before the team competition ends."

"You little rascal, are you teasing us? We can't even get out, what else can we be thinking about?"

Yang Wenzhao made a sarcastic remark to ease the atmosphere before they took their leave.

Long Haoyu did not linger and went straight back to the First Battalion's camp.

……

A few days later.

In the camp of the First Battalion.

Long Haoyu stood in front of the tent, deep in thought.

Long Haochen followed beside Long Haoyu, sensing the subtle changes in his older brother over the past few days, and his brows furrowed as well.

"Brother, are you worried about what that demon commander will do next?" Long Haochen asked.

Long Haoyu hummed in agreement: "I do have some concerns, but no one can predict the future. We just need to do our own thing."

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. That's the motto of our Sergeant-level Demon Hunter Squadron Number One!"

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Long Haoyu had just finished speaking.

Suddenly, a hurried assembly order rang out.

The assembly call was delivered very frequently and in a very tight rhythm, carrying a sense of tension in the voice.

"Brother, it's a rallying order!"

"Understood. Notify Lin Xin and the others to make preparations!"

Long Haoyu made a quick decision and immediately made the arrangements. Long Haochen didn't waste any more words and decisively returned to the camp to wake up Lin Xin and the others who were still cultivating.

As Long Haoyu heard the assembly order beside his ear, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"This rallying order seems to be similar to the one I received when my maternal grandfather descended upon the Demon Exorcising Pass, and also similar to the one I received when my maternal uncle took office."

"It seems that my uncle really orchestrated a major operation, and to orchestrate such a major operation in such a short period of time is obviously not just a show of force like at the beginning."

Long Haoyu murmured to himself.

After analyzing the likelihood of this mobilization order, he reopened his eyes, which had been narrowed to slits.

A sharp light suddenly surged in his eyes.

He was certain this would be a major offensive, and he had no intention of remaining silent.
