Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 10: Only when mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite will I dare to part from you!
With the death of the Silver Wolf Demon, the remaining wolf demons were terrified and scattered like birds and beasts.

Cai'er and the four of them, who had come to their senses, naturally did not let them go. Before long, they slaughtered all the wolf demons in the entire demon camp.

After the battle, the expressions of Mu Ning and the other three towards Chu Zichen had completely changed, as if they were looking at a monster.

Is he really a pastor?

His healing and support skills are already outstanding, but he also has such a monstrous attack skill that he severely injured a fifth-tier silver wolf demon in one move!
If it were them, they would probably be instantly killed by a fifth-tier silver wolf demon in one move, right?

No wonder he became the eldest sister's husband!

“Zichen, you killed this fifth-tier silver wolf demon, so its magic crystal and corpse are yours.”

Cai'er deftly retrieved the Silver Wolf Demon's magic crystal and handed it to Chu Zichen.

"Alright, clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and then we'll leave immediately. I reckon the commotion here will soon attract other demons."

Chu Zichen accepted the Silver Wolf Demon's magic crystals and corpse without ceremony, and then had Mu Ning and the others clean up the battlefield.

After the battlefield was cleaned up, Chu Zichen led Cai'er and the other four to quickly leave the chaotic demon camp and return to Exorcism Pass along the original route.

They finally made it safely back to Exorcism Pass before sunset.

"Congratulations, you have passed the assessment."

Upon returning to the main hall of the Assassin's Temple, the Assassin Inspector appeared like a ghost, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Chu Zichen:

"I never expected that you could even kill a fifth-tier Silver Wolf Demon. That really surprises me."

When he saw the fifth-tier silver wolf demon appear, he was ready to make a move.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zichen used a strange skill to severely injure the Silver Wolf Demon. The key point is... he is clearly a priest!

A fifth-tier priest killing a fifth-tier demon is simply unbelievable!
Next, the Assassin Inspector informed Chu Zichen and the others of the relevant rules for the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament.

After obtaining their tickets, they were able to travel to the Temple Alliance and be assigned to their respective temples for the preliminary selection.

The preliminary rounds will ultimately select 10 of the strongest participants from each of the six temples to compete in the finals.

Finally, the 60 finalists will draw lots to determine their rankings, which will then influence the final Demon Hunter Roulette combinations and rewards.

"Alright, get some rest tonight. I'll lead you to the Temple Alliance to participate in the Demon Hunter Team selection competition first thing tomorrow morning."

After explaining the rules, the Assassin Inspector made one last announcement before disappearing again.

Mu Ning and the other three also bid farewell to Chu Zichen and Cai'er, and turned to leave.

For a moment, only Chu Zichen and Cai'er remained in the vast hall.

"Cai'er, you should go back and rest early too," Chu Zichen said softly, stroking Cai'er's hair.

"Zichen, can you come for a walk with me?" Cai'er shook her head and took the initiative to extend her small hand, her cool and soft fingers gently holding Chu Zichen's warm palm.

"Okay, even if you want to go to the ends of the earth, I will accompany you." Chu Zichen's lips curled into a doting smile.

Cai'er didn't say much, but simply took Chu Zichen's hand, and the two of them skillfully walked through the deep corridors and stone steps of the Assassin's Temple main hall, all the way to the highest rooftop, where they could overlook most of the Exorcism Pass and the boundless wilderness in the distance.

Look up, and the night sky is exceptionally clear and bright. Countless stars, like shattered diamonds, are set on deep blue velvet, shimmering with light that is sometimes bright and sometimes dim, forming a magnificent Milky Way that stretches across the sky.

The two stood side by side, Cai'er tilting her head slightly, her purple hair being tossed about by the night breeze. Her eyes were wide open, her bright and lively eyes seeming to reflect starlight under the starlight, shining brilliantly.

This was the first time she had gazed at the starry sky so clearly since her eyesight had returned. All the fierce and ruthless energy from her previous battles had faded away, leaving only pure amazement and a touch of childlike joy.

Chu Zichen didn't look at the starry sky. His gaze remained gently fixed on Cai'er's profile, watching the starry river reflected in her eyes, and seeing her rare, serene expression where she had let down all her guard. An indescribable warmth welled up in his heart.

A bright streak of light suddenly flashed across the night sky!

Then, a second, a third... more and more meteors tore through the silence of the night, trailing long or short, bright or dim tails of light, like a rain of light falling from the sky!

"It's a meteor shower! Zichen, let's make a wish!"

Upon seeing this scene, Cai'er's eyes lit up instantly, and a stunning smile, as beautiful as ice melting and snow melting, bloomed on her lips.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cai'er immediately closed her eyes, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a sense of piety.

Her heart's desire was simple yet fervent; it was the only warm thought that sustained her through countless trials in the Crucible of Reincarnation—

I wish to be with Zichen forever, until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, only then will I dare to part from you!
As Cai'er clasped her hands together to make a wish, Chu Zichen also closed his eyes.

His wish was equally simple and steadfast—

May I protect Cai'er for a lifetime, until the end of my life, and never be separated from her!

At this moment, the night breeze seemed to soften a little, lifting the hems of their clothes and entwining them together.

As the last streak of the meteor shower disappeared at the edge of the sky, the starry sky returned to its profound tranquility.

Cai'er tilted her head slightly and nestled on Chu Zichen's shoulder. Chu Zichen also reached out and hugged her slender yet strong body even tighter.

……

Ten days later, Chu Zichen and Cai'er, who had left the Exorcism Pass, arrived at their destination, the Holy City, the headquarters of the Holy Temple Alliance.

There are no states within the Temple Alliance; it is the highest administrative body in itself, jointly governed by the six major temples.

Each temple has a ninth-tier expert stationed there to discuss all actions against the demon race and the internal management of the temple alliance.

Within the Holy City stand three famous buildings: the Alliance Government, the Holy Alliance Auction House, and the Holy Temple Alliance Grand Trial Grounds.

Chu Zichen and his group were heading to the Holy Temple Alliance Grand Trial Grounds, where each of the six Holy Temples had its own reporting point.

"Cai'er, I'm going to report to the priest's temple." Upon arriving here, Chu Zichen had no choice but to part ways with Cai'er temporarily.

With Cai'er's abilities, he doesn't need to worry too much about her match results.

"Okay, I'll come find you after I finish reporting. I'll also come find you after each game from now on."

Cai'er nodded slightly. She wasn't actually interested in these competitions; she just wanted to spend more time with Chu Zichen.

Accompanying Chu Zichen and Cai'er was their great-grandfather, Sheng Yue, who had come along because he was worried about Cai'er.

Hearing Cai'er's words, Sheng Yue shook his head helplessly. His great-granddaughter was really love-struck!
