Shen Yin Wang Zuo Chapter 575: The Wrath of the Lich King (I)

Chapter 575: The Wrath of the Lich King (I)

But regardless of the circumstances, she had failed. There was only one chance, and no other. The lich king was not clear on how the six-headed Haoyue was already able to pressure her to such incredible extent. At that rate, the next time they’d find him, the only thing to do would be to wait for his next evolution. Only, after evolving, would anyone truly be able to suppress him?

Her incomparably deep feeling of powerlessness gradually turned into deep fear, as the lich king once again let out a deep screech.

Tower of Eternity.

At the time Haochen and Haoyue returned, Haochen felt his back dripping with sweat. The previous situation was just far too much. Without Haoyue’s assistance, he’d surely have already died. No matter what, he couldn’t give up on Haoyue and transport himself back to the Tower of Eternity alone. Those undead creatures were just beings at a whole other level! There’s still a gap between the Demon God of Death Saminaga and the lich king’s undead magic, but she’s even more straightforward and terrifying. In particular, her last summon of over a hundred bone dragons was far too shocking. If not for Haoyue’s act of deterrence towards those bone dragons, he could only have ended up torn to shreds.

But from another standpoint, such terrifying undead powerhouses held blatant fear towards Haoyue, and Haoyue’s aura even suppressed their strength. From that, one can well imagine how bitter the memories his ancestors left in them were. Haoyue, just what level will you reach in the future?

Seeing Haoyue’s six large heads and his purple crystal-like armor, Long Haochen softly caressed him. Haoyue’s six large heads immediately gathered, especially the newborn earth elemental head Little Yellow, who rubbed against him insistently.

In front of Long Haochen, the previous pressure Haoyue had was totally nonexistent, and he appeared instead like a child. This evolution also provided Long Haochen with a considerable boost.

His internal spiritual energy reached a total of three thousand units, and more importantly, his external spiritual energy had a change. Having finally quieted down, Long Haochen could pay attention to these changes. He found out that a new kind of powerful force seemed to be present in his blood, this force seeming very close to Haoyue’s aura. It should be the origin of that purplish golden color that had appeared on him before. This force was fusing with his body, and gradually became part of him. Based on Haochen’s estimate, before ten days pass, it will have completely finished the process of fusion. Long Haochen had no precise idea of the level his external spiritual energy would reach at that time, but it would have to be measured in tens of thousands! Moreover, this external spiritual energy he gained because of Haoyue seemed to have properties in common with internal spiritual energy.

After spending this affectionate time, Haoyue crawled onto the ground of the Tower of Eternity, entering a deep slumber. Visibly already very tired, he had expended a lot of energy in this evolution.

Long Haochen’s comrades didn’t know what thrilling experiences the two of them experienced at the end, after all, they only came a mere few dozen seconds earlier than when Long Haochen and Haoyue returned. There’s no way they could know that if Long Haochen hadn’t strived to earn these last few seconds and stopped the lich king, her last attack could have threatened Haoyue, and kept them there forever.

Haoyue being in deep slumber, they joined Haochen’s side, and Han Yu expressed with worry, “Captain, Haoyue’s evolutions seem to be becoming more and more challenging. That undead creature we saw before was strong enough to match the top ten demon gods, and even surpass some. I’m afraid that we are going to face even more powerful enemies next.”

Lin Xin expressed, “Haoyue’s evolutions are also taking longer and longer. Maybe the next one will be in a few years. At that time, do you think that we still won’t have the ability to face enemies of her kind? Boss is already a knight of the eighth step. After a few years, maybe he’ll reach the ninth step already.”

Wang Yuanyuan let out a giggle, “I didn’t think you were so optimistic. Boss, now that Haoyue’s evolution is completed, shall we go look for Ying’er?”

Long Haochen nodded, “It’s time for us to gather the last of them to us. However, over the past few days, I have have carefully reflected on what's next, and I have decided that we will try our utmost to not intervene when coming next to Myriad Beast Mountain Pass of the Spiritual Temple and the Southern Mountain Pass of the Priest Temple. In particular, I can definitely not participate any further in the defense against the demons.”

Hearing that statement, the others were all baffled. In fact, as Demon Hunters, their most basic mission was defense against demons.

Long Haochen declared, “After the termination of my secluded training, I have been in the Dragon Resisting, Exorcist, Tombal, and Southeastern Mountain Oasses. But every time, my interventions have been far too influential. In the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, I managed to severely wound the Demon God of Death Saminaga thanks to the Tower of Eternity. Then in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, I assisted great-grandfather Sheng Yue in killing the Blazing Lion Demon Andromalius, and killed the Goblin Knight Seere alongside Cai’er. Then, relying on Light Prayers, I temporarily held off the supra forbidden spell of the Hell Demon God Marbas, earning some time for the Tombal Mountain Pass. And now finally, once again I killed the Demon God of Clear Vision.”

Three demon gods died consecutively because of me. The demons aren’t idiots, and my Golden Foundation Armor is really too conspicuous. They surely have taken note of me, and may even have some guesses. And every time I appear in the battlefield, I gain more comrades at my side. I can cover my own looks, but your appearances will be recorded in their eyes. As long as they have capable people analyze my being, they can very easily guess my appearance. If the Demon God Emperor ascertains these guesses, he will very possibly lead the Devil Dragons, Moon Demons and Star Demons in a large scale invasion. This is the scenario I fear the most. The demons will sooner or later find out my identity, but I hope for this to be in the demon territory. This way it won’t implicate the Six Great Forts. For this reason, we will strive our utmost to stop intervening in the following forts, and stay low-key. After we are with Ying’er and Sima, we will display our full force after infiltrating inside the demon territory.

Having listened to Long Haochen’s analysis, Zhang Fangfang and Han Yu immediately expressed their approval, and the others understood as well. Just as he said, the time for their public display hadn’t come yet. Not letting any Demon God Crown escape will prevent these demon gods from reappearing temporarily, but as long as their demon god pillars are still around, they will keep being passed on. Therefore, the most important for them was to infiltrate demon territory to try their utmost to destroy demon god pillars.

At that time, they will surely show awe-inspiring displays in demon territory, but this will only make the situation around the Temple Alliance more steady. With their little group, even if the demons are even more powerful, finding their trails in such a massive territory is no easy matter.

Myriad Beast Mountain Pass, Spiritual Temple.

Chen Ying’er stood blank there, appearing totally sluggish. That Spiritual Saint Robe made of one hundred eight spiritual pellets and countless embroideries of magical beasts spread soft fluctuations of spiritual energy.

In front of her were seated two elders. One of them was her grandmother Sanshui Popo’, and the other an even more important character, the present head of the Spiritual Temple and Chen Ying’er’s grandfather, Psychic Master Chen Hongyu.

“That’s how things are. Ying’er, you will have to carry on. His chances of survival are extremely low.”

“No, this can’t be! He will surely survive, that’s for certain!” Chen Ying’er suddenly shouted, her tears flowing uncontrollably. Her hand carried a letter, but most of all, her body was now shaking uncontrollably. Visibly, she has lost control of her emotions.

Sanshui Popo explained with a sigh, “Child, we have been resisting the demons for so many years, and many of ours have already parted forever. Just get over it. This rancor has to be aimed at the demons from now onwards.”

“No, grandmother. I am going to look for him.” Chen Ying’er abruptly lifted her head, her eyes glittering with resolution.

“Stop the brat act!” Chen Hongyu shouted, and his awe-inspiring demeanor immediately shook Chen Ying’er, “Do you think you are still a small kid? Could it be that you don’t understand the consequences looking for him by yourself would have? The instant you took over the Spiritual Saint Dress, your life had stopped being yours alone.”

Chen Ying’er remained stubborn, “I can take it off at anytime.”

“Drivel!” Chen Hongbo stood abruptly. His build couldn’t be considered tall, but felt unspeakably broad.

“Aside from being the Spiritual Saint Girl, you are my, Chen Hongbo’s, only daughter. Have you thought about us? If something were to happen to you, how could your grandmother and I not become mad?”

Hearing his words, Chen Ying’er’s stubbornness finally softened. Abruptly rushing forward, she cried loudly in the arms of Sanshui Popo.

Looking at his granddaughter who cried to the extent of losing her voice, Chen Hongbo couldn’t help but shake his head, “You girl! Why are you acting so tough, it’s so clear that you love the other, yet insist on acting so disdainfully. And now you are the one suffering pain.”

As Sanshui Popo comforted her granddaughter, she gave Chen Hongbo a fierce glare, “You have a good nerve. That’s just like you, old fart. I still remember about that mental integrity you showed when courting me. What a hell it was to keep up appearances.”

When facing his wife, the previously very aggressive head of the Spiritual Temple became helpless, and sat down resentfully. After pondering for a short time, he declared, “We are summoners from the Spiritual Temple and aren’t very expert at scouting. Ying’er, keep your calm. Your grandpa will immediately report to the Alliance and ask for a Demon Hunt Squad to be dispatched to look for him. As long as it is possible, he will be rescued.”
