Chapter 783: Exemplar to Look up to (II)

Long Haochen’s words shocked many people. It was also their first time in experiencing the chairman’s might. From the beginning to the end, no one cut him off at all.

Everyone thought about what he had said. Even the most stubborn Priest Temple head Ling Xiao changed in expression.

With a flash, Long Haochen returned to his seat, “What I said just then was my opinion. You can discuss and pour your thoughts together now. We will vote in a short while. The discussion will still be hosted by temple head Yang.”

Yang Haohan nodded at Long Haochen first, before speaking sternly, “The chairman’s story has shocked me deeply. Never did we think that there would be such an unknown story behind the chairman’s great strength. The chairman and every single member of the Bright Glimmer of Hope is a hero of the union. We should show our respects to the heroes.” As he said that, he stood up first and performed a standard knight salute to Long Haochen and the Bright Glimmer of Hope.

The other people all stood up and copied Yang Haohan.

Long Haochen stood up with his companions in a hurry to return the gesture, “From the day we became demon hunters, we had already decided to bleed and lay our lives down for the union. Never did we consider dying a natural death, like how Chen Zidian had already expected himself to die in battle. I believe that although these two titled demon hunt squads have been annhiliated, they did not leave with any regrets. They are the true heroes. I think we should have a minute of silence for the Demon God Slayers and Nine Heaven Transcenders.”

Everyone fell quiet. Sorrow welled up in everyone’s heart uncontrollably. However, there was also enthusiasm within this sorrow. Many of them had failed to realise that after listening to Long Haochen’s story, the pressure they originally experienced was replaced by roaring fighting intent. Their fear for the incoming holy war had mostly vanished as well.

The minute ended and Yang Haohan continued the topic of conversation from before.

“Chairman, there’s something that I must ask you to explain. Because the Eternal Heroes have become undead, their character will be influenced to a certain degree. I disagree with you going personally. Just in case there’s danger...”

Long Haochen waved his hand, “There won’t be danger. I’ll go with Cai’er. Cai’er’s Domain of Purification is nemesis of all undead. As a result, I can promise everyone that even if our Eternal Heroes have changed and plan on harming the union, our Bright Glimmer of Hope will personally resolve this issue.”

He was not exaggerating at all. No matter how powerful the Eternal Heroes were, it was impossible for them to match up to the undead army from Haoyue’s realm. Cai’er could control the entire situation there, so let alone just sixty-three Eternal Heroes. If they wanted to rebel, Cai’er’s Flourishing Lotus Flowers would not go easy on them.

Yang Haohan said, “Since that’s the case, let’s discuss this later. Regarding the chairman’s suggestion of announcing the Eternal Heroes, shouldn’t we take the bigger picture into consideration? If we really do go through with it, we need ample preparation for the announcement.”

Long Haochen nodded, “I agree.”

Li Zhengzhi said, “Then why not do this? The chairman’s suggestion is very meaningful, while the chairman’s personal story is highly persuasive as well. We can even learn from the necromancer who had once caused a calamity for us humans, the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux, much less our Eternal Heroes. If we record the matters of the chairman and then spread it, before spreading the news of the Eternal Heroes, it should be much easier to accept.”

Long Haochen was surprised, while the original Warrior Temple head Qiu Yonghao immediately agreed, “That’s a good idea, temple head Li. The union’s just been founded. If the chairman and his wife become an exemplar for everyone, it will definitely bring great benefits when we face against the demons. It’ll strengthen the chairman’s charisma and unity. The chairman and vice-chairwoman Cai’er will become the foundation of what people can look up to. Let’s do that.”

The temple heads’ eyes all lit up when they heard Qiu Yonghao’s analysis.

Chen Ying’er immediately added, “I agree. The story between the chairman and vice-chairwoman Cai’er is a legend in itself. It should be made public. Moreover, this is for our war against the demons.”

Long Haochen had never thought that trying to rectify the status of the Eternal Heroes would draw him into the matter as well. He wanted to object, but he was drowned out by the approval.

Everyone had finally reached an agreement. Long Haochen would personally ask the Eternal Heroes to fight and they would rectify the Eternal Heroes as well. Of course, before all of this, they would spread the story of Long Haochen and Cai’er.

The Mage Temple head Li Zhengzhi immediately accepted this mission. The special illusion mages of the Mage Temple would make a short film to broadcast. Of course, Long Haochen and Cai’er had to cooperate in the acting as well.

This was only the first meeting. Even more important topics of conversation were presented on the second day of the meetings.

Where would the demons attack? Would they engage in a full blow war like last time, or would they concentrate on a single point? If they only concentrated on a single point, where would this be?

These questions were crucial to the union. Even if they engaged in open conflict, the union’s chances of victory would still be lower. If they were taken by surprise and the demon army managed to make into the union, then there would definitely be a massacre. With the destructive power of the demon army, the union would be in danger.

Long Haochen believed that there was a higher chance that the demons would directly attack the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass occupied by the Knight Temple, because their primary target was him. However, he was not completely certain in this. If the Demon God Emperor attacked a different fort while he had the union’s forces concentrated in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, they would be like laying the the populace of mankind naked before the demon army!

The upper echelon of the union discussed for two entire days, but they still failed to reach a conclusion.

However, the orders of the union were still passed onto the five other temples. Among them included the magic film that Long Haochen and Cai’er would be making.

With the Tower of Eternity, as well as Cai’er’s control over the tower, the Bright Glimmer of Hope and the cooperation of the twelve holy guards, they had basically recreated the exact situation as back then. Although they did not have a lot of time for filming, which made it seem rather rough, but they still achieved their intended effect in the shocking scene. Especially when the Mage Temple used over a dozen illusion mages to complete the final, meticulous editing despite the costs, the magic film turned out to be even better. What Long Haochen and Cai’er failed to imagine was that before long, their story would shake up the entire union. It really was like what Qiu Yonghao had sai, they had become the exemplar that everyone looked up to.

Holy City.

As the sun set in the west, the sky gradually darkened.

After the Temples’ Great Gathering every decade had ended, the Holy City gradually settled down. As the capital and home front of the Temple Union, the prosperity here had never changed.

The sun had set, which meant that everyone had finished their day of busy work. They could rest now. The night life in the Holy City was very abundant. However, a strange film appeared in the city today. Just like the Great Temples’ Gathering recently, large masses of people flowed in the direction of the Alliance’s Great Stadium.

“Hmm? Brother Zhang, what’re you in a hurry for so late in the evening?” action

“Brother, haven’t you seen the announcement the union headquarters had posted? From today, they will be playing a magic film for ten days in the Alliance’s Great Stadium. It’s said that the chairman and vice-chairwoman have personally taken part in the acting.”

“Magic film? What’s that?”

“That’s a film and sound preserved using magic! The union’s treated this with such importance, so it would be worthwhile to watch. Let’s go check it out.”

Similar conversations were held in the streets and alleyways of the Holy City. Coupled with the power of public announcements, the surroundings of the Alliance’s Great Stadium was already filled with people before the sun and even set completely.

The ten magic crystal screens that had been taken down had been reinstalled there. The screens currently shone brilliantly. The magic film would probably be played on them in a while.

What would the magic film be? Did the chairman and vice-chairwoman personally perform in the film? Will they be sparring with each other? But why is the union using magic to record it and show us? Basically every person experienced the same thoughts, but they had received no news of it beforehand.

Their curiosity made them gather below the magic crystal screens and wait patiently.

The sun had set completely and the magic crystal screens stood out even more in the dark night. People could even see it clearly from their distant rooftops.

A loud voice rang out, “The magic film will play very soon. Before it plays, you all need a simple explanation first. This magic film was created by the chairman, vice-chairman and the demon hunters of the Bright Glimmer of Light, before being edited by the Mage Temple. The entire process was to record the story that happened with chairman Long Haochen and vice-chairwoman Cai’er after they had fought against the demons. As a result, you all need a simple introduction to the background before the story begins...”

“... And that’s the background. Chairman Long Haochen’s heart was destroyed by the Demon God Emperor had he died. Vice-chairwoman Cai’er and the other demon hunters of the Bright Glimmer of Hope left Modu with his corpse. This is where our story begins. Everyone must find it very strange that chairman Long Haochen’s heart had been destroyed and thus he had already died in the Star Demon Pagoda, so why was he able to become our chairman? Please watch the magic film and you will learn te answer to that question. After the union was founded, it will become even more democratic. Every single one of you will be the owners of the union. As a result, we have the right to know what the first chairman of our new union had gone through. This is also the reason why this film was created. The union guarantees that everything that happens in this film had happened in the past.”
