After Xu Zhongliang finished his introduction, Ye Tian slowly stepped forward and tapped his chest with his right fist in salute.
"Ye Tian, the leader of the 65th Demon Hunting Group, greets Palace Master Qiu."
A smile appeared on Qiu Yonghao's face.
"Hello, thank you for taking care of Yuan Yuan over the past year."
Ye Tian responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Palace Master Qiu, you are joking. Sister Yuanyuan is our partner. There is no such thing as one taking care of the other."
"And it's mainly due to Sister Yuanyuan's own efforts."
After hearing these words, Qiu Yonghao's impression of Ye Tian became much better.
At least it's definitely good for Wang Yuanyuan to be in such a demon hunting group.
"Long time no see, Yuanyuan."
After a brief conversation with Ye Tian, Qiu Yonghao took the initiative to look towards where Wang Yuanyuan was.
"Grandpa Qiu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Wang Yuanyuan greeted him solemnly, his tone full of respect.
Qiu Yonghao smiled gently, "You came back suddenly, and you specifically asked to see me. It must be more than just to see an old guy like me, right?"
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Wang Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly.
This scene surprised the other members of the 65th Demon Hunting Group a little.
It was the first time they saw Wang Yuanyuan with such an expression.
There is a kind of cuteness brought about by the contrast.
"Nothing can be hidden from Grandpa Qiu. In fact, in addition to coming to see you, I have another thing to report to you."
"This is what happened!"
Wang Yuanyuan did not hide anything and told the whole story of what happened in Xingxun City.
There is no personal tone attached to it, it just states what happened.
At the beginning, Qiu Yonghao still had a faint smile on his face, but as the voice gradually became more intense, the smile on the face of the Warrior Temple Master had completely disappeared, and his brows had been deeply furrowed without him knowing when.
At the end, Wang Yuanyuan concluded angrily.
"Grandpa Qiu, I think this kind of person is no longer qualified to be the chief of military. He might even mess up the military power of Xingxun City, which would bring shame to the Warrior Temple."
There were no outsiders present, so Wang Yuanyuan naturally said whatever she wanted to say.
Qiu Yonghao also nodded in agreement.
"I understand. I will have someone handle this matter. The boy from Xingxun City has a relationship with a certain deputy hall master of the Holy Temple, but he will never appear in any position in the alliance in the future."
Just one sentence like this is enough.
Qiu Yonghao is not only the leader of the Warrior Temple, but also the deputy leader of the Temple Alliance. This little thing can be easily accomplished by him.
Not to mention that the military chief of Xingxun City is the son-in-law of a deputy hall master of the Warrior Temple, even if the deputy hall master himself came, it would be useless.
"Thank you, Palace Master Qiu."
Ye Tian also expressed his thanks sincerely.
"You are too polite. We cannot just sit back and watch this kind of scourge appear in the alliance. Thank you for the intelligence you provided. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened to the army of Xingxun City. It might even have an impact on the Southeast Fortress."
Qiu Yonghao shook his head and sighed softly.
I am not exaggerating.
Xingxun City is close to the border and often serves as the primary logistical support for the Southeast Fortress. If there is a shortage of manpower due to an attack by the demons, Xingxun City will be the first to dispatch troops for support.
If the Chief of Military Affairs fails to do his job and the soldiers under him become accustomed to taking bribes and becoming arrogant and lazy, it could be fatal if a war breaks out.
Therefore, it might not be a bad thing to rectify it in advance. "Anything else?" Qiu Yonghao asked again.
Ye Tian shook his head, "No, we came here just for this matter. In fact, if we hadn't encountered this terrible thing, we should have already gone to the demon clan's territory."
“But since Palace Master Qiu and Sister Yuan Yuan haven’t seen each other for such a long time, we can stay in the Southeast Fortress for a while.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Wang Yuanyuan immediately raised her objection.
"How can that be? We are here to carry out a mission, so we cannot delay our trip because of me."
Having said that, Wang Yuanyuan looked at Qiu Yonghao again.
"Besides, Grandpa Qiu is the Palace Master and he is very busy on weekdays. I can't disturb him."
"So let's go according to the original plan!"
Qiu Yonghao on the side also chuckled and nodded.
"Yuanyuan is right. There is no need to rush. The Demon Hunting Group should focus on the mission."
"As for the rest, we'll talk about it after you complete your mission and come back. Then you can stay in the Southeast Fortress to rest for a few days."
Seeing that both parties said so, Ye Tian naturally would not force it.
He nodded and agreed immediately.
"In that case, let's take our leave."
The purpose of coming to the Warrior Temple Main Hall has been achieved, so Ye Tian and his party naturally will not stay for too long.
Qiu Yonghao also smiled and nodded, "Then I won't send more. Zhongliang, please help me send Captain Ye off."
"Also, Captain Ye and Yuan Yuan, please be careful and safe during this mission."
Ye Tian smiled confidently, "Palace Master Qiu, don't worry about this. I will bring everyone back safely."
After saying this, everyone turned around and left the Warrior Temple.
Xu Zhongliang did not send more, he only sent the Marshal-level No. 65 Demon Hunting Regiment to the gate of the Warrior Temple.
Under Ye Tian's leadership, everyone sneaked out of the Southeast Fortress without even being checked.
After leaving the city, a strong wind blew towards us.
The air was filled with the smell of earth.
I haven't left the alliance area for a long time, and everything is still the same as before.
"Let's go. Next, try to hide your body and see if you can get a few high-level demon mounts."
The group walked further and further away in the wind and sand.
This is also the third time that the 65th Demon Hunting Group has officially entered the demon territory.
Different from the anxiety and tension in the past, this time everyone was unusually calm. No one was expecting too much, nor did they feel the slightest bit of worry.
This is entirely due to the confidence brought about by the improvement of strength.
However, the frequency of encountering demons will increase sharply, especially near the demon border defense camps, where you will encounter more and more powerful ones.
Ye Tian had the prop that Yue Ye had given him before in his hand. After putting it on, he could disguise himself as a Moon Demon.
But there is currently no arrest mount, so even the best disguise would be easily exposed.
After all, given the Moon Demon Clan's status among the demon clans, walking or riding some low-level mounts are behaviors that are not in keeping with their status.
It would be fine if you encounter a low-level demon. Because of your unequal status, the other party has no right to come up and ask questions, and dare not even have any doubts.
But if you encounter a high-level demon, you may be exposed because of such small details.
This is also the main reason why the No. 65 Demon Hunter Group rode on strong horses with the blood of demon beasts, but did not disguise themselves. (End of this chapter)
