Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 64 Inheritance: The Mantle of the Fallen Demon God!

"call……"

Li Hao exhaled a long breath, suppressed his boiling fighting spirit, and disarmed himself.

The crimson-gold armor transformed into specks of light, re-integrating into the power lock on his wrist.

A momentous battle vanished without a trace.

Atop the exorcism city wall, there was first a deathly silence, then erupted into cheers as loud as a landslide and a tsunami.

"We win! We win!"

"Long live Lord Li Hao!"

"That was the Demon Emperor! And he just retreated like that!"

Countless warriors, mages, and summoners gazed at the towering figure below the city with the fanatical eyes of someone looking at a god.

With a seventh-order body, he fought against a ninth-order demon god.

In the end, even the Demon Emperor himself spoke up, ordering him to retreat.

What power and might!
What an honor!

Qiu Yonghao stood on the city wall, looking down at his disciple who was the center of attention, like the rising sun, and opened his mouth.

In the end, it all turned into a complex sigh and a hint of barely concealed smugness.

That brat, he's really made him proud again.

After a long while, a messenger ran quickly to Qiu Yonghao's side and saluted respectfully.

"Reporting to Palace Master Qiu, the Holy Temple Master has summoned all members of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Squad to the military command center for a meeting!"

Qiu Yonghao's expression turned serious, and he nodded: "Understood."

His gaze fell upon Li Hao below the city walls, and though his voice was not loud, it clearly reached Li Hao's ears.

"Li Hao, take your men to the command center. Those seniors... might want to see you."

……

The atmosphere at the Exorcist City's military command center was solemn and dignified.

This is the brain of the entire Exorcism Pass, with a huge military map hanging on the wall.

The different colored markers indicated the movements of the demons and the defenses of the humans.

When Li Hao led Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, Chen Ying'er, and Zhong Li into the main hall, they immediately felt the heavy, mountain-like aura.

Within the main hall.

Qiu Yonghao, the Temple Master of the Warrior's Temple.

Saint Moon, the master of the Assassin's Temple.

These two powerful figures, whose mere presence could shake the entire alliance, were now standing respectfully to the side.

In the main seat of the hall sat a middle-aged man dressed in simple orange armor.

He looked to be around thirty or forty years old, with a resolute face, slightly graying temples, and eyes that were calm and deep, yet seemed to see right through people.

But when he opened his mouth, his voice was old and hoarse, which was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

"Kid, you've arrived."

As soon as he spoke, Li Hao recognized the voice as that of the old knight who had been on the city wall earlier.

Li Hao felt a chill run down his spine and led everyone forward to bow respectfully.

"Junior Li Hao, on behalf of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Team, pays his respects to all seniors."

"No need for formalities." The old knight slightly raised his hand, his gentle gaze sweeping over each member of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Group.

Finally, his gaze settled on Li Hao, his eyes revealing an undisguised admiration.

"I am Chen Zidian, the leader of the Demon Hunter Squad of the Fall of the Demon God, and a guardian knight."

He slowly introduced himself.

Though the voice was old, each word was firm and resonant, carrying a metallic quality. "I have summoned you here today to discuss something."

Chen Zidian paused, his gaze becoming deep and solemn.

"I observe that your Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Team has unlimited potential, especially with young friend Li Hao at its core, your future achievements are limitless."

"We, the six of 'The Fall of the Demon God,' have fought our whole lives. Now that we are old, we do not wish to take all our knowledge to our graves."

"Therefore, we want to pass on this mantle to you."

boom!
These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Apart from Li Hao, who remained relatively calm, Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, Chen Ying'er, and Zhong Li were all struck dumb, frozen in place as if by lightning.

The fall of the Demon God!

That was the legendary Demon Hunter Corps, a legend that stood at the pinnacle of humanity and suppressed the demon race for an entire era!

Their leader is Chen Zidian, who is hailed as the "strongest guardian knight"!
Such a legendary being actually... actually wants to pass on his mantle to them?

Wang Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, while Sima Xian's shiny bald head seemed to be shining with excitement.

Lin Xin went even further, clutching his heart as if he was about to faint from happiness, muttering to himself.

"Wow, is this a meteoric rise? Once we latch onto this powerful figure, refining pills will be a piece of cake!"

They all knew in their hearts that this incredible opportunity was 99% due to Li Hao.

Even so, this unexpected windfall left them dizzy and overwhelmed with happiness.

"Senior, this..."

Saint Moon, the master of the Assassin Temple, who was standing to the side, recovered from his shock and looked at the scene with a hint of respect and worry.

He cautiously began, "While the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Team has great potential, their team composition... two warriors, a mage who can't attack, and a priest who isn't good at healing. The team composition is unbalanced, I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Zidian waved his hand, interrupting him.

“Balance?” Chen Zidian’s lips curled into a faint smile. “When a team has a strong enough core, it is balanced in itself.”

"So-called professional pairings are just icing on the cake."

His gaze fell on Li Hao again, his eyes filled with an unconventional certainty.

"This kid's talent is enough to break all conventions. With him around, any team configuration is the strongest configuration."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue and Qiu Yonghao exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.

They knew Chen Zidian thought highly of Li Hao, but they didn't expect his evaluation to be so high.

This wasn't just optimism; it was practically treating Li Hao as the future of humanity, as a pillar of strength.

What followed was a natural progression.

After some discussion, a simple apprenticeship ceremony was held in the command center under the auspices of Chen Zidian.

The blue-armored warrior from the Fall of the Demon God was impressed by Wang Yuanyuan's fearless fighting style and took her as his apprentice.

The black-clad assassin, who had remained silent all along, chose Zhongli, saying that he was calm, had great perseverance, and was worthy of being cultivated.

The white-robed saint naturally accepted the bald priest Sima Xian.

While Sima Xian may not be skilled in healing, training a discipline priest is still a remarkable achievement.

Later, Lin Xin and Chen Ying'er were respectively taken in as disciples by the female deity and the psychic.

In the blink of an eye, all five members of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Team found their respective legendary mentors.

Inside the main hall, only Li Hao and Chen Zidian remained, still unpaired.

"Alright, you lot, go and get acquainted with your teacher first." Chen Zidian waved his hand, dismissing the group.

When only the two of them remained in the main hall, Chen Zidian stood up from his seat, walked over to Li Hao, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Little one, come with me. There are some things I need to talk to you about alone!"
