Chapter 114: Demonic Identity Exposed
The core area of the Holy City Temple Alliance Headquarters.
This was where the true Divine Seal Throne of Protection and Mercy was stored.
At this moment, Yang Haohan sat solemnly upon it.
However, his brow was furrowed with confusion.
As Lin Ze activated the base of the Command Department, Yang Haohan was able to view the scene remotely.
Just then, Han Qian, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, hurried over and, noticing Yang Haohan's troubled expression, asked anxiously,
"Alliance Master, how is the situation at the Exorcist Pass?"
Once the Divine Seal Throne projection was activated, it meant that the Exorcist Pass was facing a crisis.
Yang Haohan shook his head.
"The situation is grim. The pass could fall at any moment. I don't know what means the demons used to descend directly on Exorcist Pass—but there are two Demon Gods present!"
"What!?"
Han Qian's expression changed drastically. He immediately followed up:
"But now that the projection of the Divine Seal Throne has been activated, shouldn't the crisis be resolved?"
"Sigh..." Yang Haohan let out a heavy sigh.
"For some reason, the young man who activated the throne's projection refuses to sit upon it. Without someone to bear the divine power, the full strength of the Divine Seal Throne cannot be unleashed.
"The aid it offers the Exorcist Pass is severely limited."
"By the way, help me check whether there's someone named Lin Ze within the Knights Templar."
Yang Haohan felt completely helpless. The Holy City was thousands of miles away from the front lines, and no one could arrive in time.
Even if the nearest titled Demon Hunter group was dispatched now, they'd take at least an hour to reach the Exorcist Pass.
But the current situation likely wouldn't hold for another hour.
Lin Ze?
Thinking back to Lin Ze's appearance, Yang Haohan grew increasingly curious. Was there really such a young seventh-rank warrior in the Knights Templar?
—
Meanwhile—
At the Command Center of the Exorcist Pass—
Just after Lin Ze refused Yang Haohan's call, Cai'er appeared beside him.
She held Lin Ze's hand, and when their eyes met, she gently shook her head.
Seeing the throne projection, Cai'er quickly understood why Lin Ze refused to sit on it.
She didn't want him to face such a painful dilemma because of her.
But then—
Clang!
With a full-powered attack from the Winged Ox Mad Demon Sai Gong, the temporary defense generated by the throne projection shattered instantly.
Upon breaking the barrier, Sai Gong's confidence soared.
"So this is the great throne? Hah!"
Sai Gong landed heavily atop the Command Center, axe in hand.
Upon landing, he lifted his weapon and charged straight at Lin Ze.
However—
As he saw Lin Ze's face clearly—
Sai Gong came to a halt. He didn't strike immediately.
Instead, he stared at Lin Ze with narrowed eyes, then sneered:
"Old Bull was right after all. You're a descendant of the Love Demon God Xidi! As expected of a filthy human-demon hybrid—you've colluded with humans!"
The loudmouthed Sai Gong didn't bother lowering his voice. His declaration rang out loud and clear.
In midair, both Sheng Yue and Flame Lion Demon An Luoxian, who were still locked in combat, heard it clearly.
Even An Luoxian's eyes widened in shock.
Lin Ze… is a demon?
Sheng Yue, however, was stunned for a different reason.
Why would Cai'er fall in love with a demon!?
Damn it!
Sheng Yue cursed inwardly. Even with the throne's projection active, without a chosen bearer, the Exorcist Pass had little hope.
Sooner or later, once the projection faded, everything would collapse.
His priority was no longer defending the pass, but getting Cai'er and the others to safety.
—
Lin Ze calmly tightened his grip on Cai'er's hand, signaling her not to act rashly.
He didn't shy away from Sai Gong's accusation.
"If I remember right, you're Sai Gong. I don't like you either, but as a fellow demon, don't slander me without proof."
"Slander!? Old Bull doesn't lie. Today, I'll clean up this traitor for His Majesty!"
Sai Gong didn't give Lin Ze a chance to speak further. With a roar, he raised his massive axe and charged.
Strangely enough, Lin Ze was relieved when Sai Gong attacked.
He had been afraid the bull might back off.
But now—he had justification. Even if the Demon Emperor questioned him later, he had a valid excuse.
Cai'er instinctively prepared to intercept, but in the next moment—
An overwhelming dark aura burst forth from Lin Ze.
Startled, Cai'er stood frozen.
Lin Ze no longer held back. A terrifying darkness enveloped him.
In an instant, his body transformed into a glutton. His golden pupils, silver hair, and menacing black armor radiated a terrifying pressure. A black vertical line split his brow.
—
At that moment, Lin Ze's aura surged to the peak of the eighth rank.
With his identity already exposed, he had no reason to suppress his power.
After all, he hadn't been the one to make the first move.
"Cai'er, wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
As he finished speaking, Lin Ze pressed his legs together and vanished with a thunderous boom.
In the next moment, he reappeared directly in front of Sai Gong and drove a scale-covered fist into Sai Gong's abdomen.
Now in glutton form, Lin Ze's physical and spiritual power had skyrocketed.
This punch was nearly equal to a full-force strike from a peak eighth-rank powerhouse.
Boom!
Sai Gong was sent flying backward by the force of the blow. Pain exploded through his body.
He was shocked—he hadn't expected Lin Ze to be this strong.
This half-demon was evenly matched with him!
But Lin Ze didn't give him time to think.
Just as Sai Gong stabilized himself in midair, Lin Ze appeared again and kicked him violently, sending him flying once more. Then came a torrent of punches—like a rainstorm of iron fists.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A thunderous crash echoed across the sky above Exorcist Pass.
With a final powerful strike—
Lin Ze sent Sai Gong's massive body hurtling toward the ground at breakneck speed.
