Finally he's gone.

Xingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why the Demon King had just fixed his eyes on him, he was still alive after all, wasn't he?

It was the right choice to form a demon hunting team in this selection competition, otherwise Xingyuan would not know whether there were other ways in the Holy Demon Continent that could help Caier crack the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace.

"Farewell to the Fall of the Demon God!"

As the demon army retreated, the six people in the sky streaked across the sky like meteors, and joined the "flowing light" on another peak outside the pass, flying towards the heartland of the demons. The soldiers on the Exorcist Pass also shouted loudly under the leadership of their superiors, bidding farewell to these heroes who helped the Exorcist Pass resolve the crisis of life and death...

"Tsk——"

The Moon Demon God Agares, who was following the Demon Emperor's dragon chariot, glanced sideways at the Demon God's Fall that passed by them from afar. He looked down upon the twelve members of the Nine Heavens Demon Hunting Group and couldn't help but snorted coldly, his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

"Don't mind Agares."

The voice of the Demon King came from the thick tent of the Dragon Chariot, "They are just unsharpened weapons in the hands of children that can give them a little sense of security. They are ridiculous and useless."

"……I see."

Agares was silent for a while. He also knew why His Majesty spared the lives of these old guys.

Moreover, the reason why he said that just now was just to make a gesture in front of others, so that the demons and generals under him would think that the reason why he and the Demon King did not lead the army in person was because they were controlled by others.

“Although we didn’t find any trace of Austin Griffin during this visit to the Exorcist Pass, it may be because An Luoxian and the others made a wrong judgment. After all, it shouldn’t appear on this Holy Demon Continent.”

The Demon King in the Dragon Chariot showed a thoughtful look on his face, "But this matter cannot be taken lightly. When we rush back to Heart City, I will immediately have my third brother start to use the Great Prophecy against Austin Griffin to make sure that he really did not come to the Holy Demon Continent."

"Your Majesty is concerned."

Although he was very concerned about what the Demon King had just found on the wall of the Exorcist Pass, since the other party had no intention of mentioning it to him, Agares could not take the initiative to ask. He could only turn around and look in the direction of the Exorcist Pass...

With the departure of the Demon King, the major events that happened to Xingyuan and other new demon hunting groups during their team competition mission at the Exorcist Pass were almost all over. All that remained was to slowly wait for the day when the competition would be settled.

With the departure of the Demon King and the Moon Demon Agares, the Moon Demon Clan's Crescent Moon (a secondary setting, inspired by Demon Slayer) and the Black Dragon Guards of the Heavenly Demon Dragon Clan who they had brought with them also evacuated.

As for the remaining demon troops outside the Exorcist Pass, they naturally cannot launch a decent offensive and have to wait until real reinforcements arrive before they can take action again.

However, with the end of the war, Xingyuan and other new demon hunting teams temporarily lost the fastest way to gain merit points, and could only accept missions issued by the military to gain merit.

Logically speaking, Xingyuan should also lead his team to compete with other demon hunting teams for missions and merits.

However, after Xingyuan found out the number of merits other teams had, he immediately gave up the idea.

He was originally thinking about the Spiritual Enhancement Pills that he had entrusted to Lin Xin to sell. Would it be difficult to sell them since Lin Xin marked them at a special price of 300 merit points each?

After all, we are still in the team competition period, and after the game, only the total amount of merit currently available on hand by each team will be counted.

At this time, if you rashly use your merits to purchase such an expensive spirit-enhancing elixir, wouldn't that be equivalent to directly giving up your team's chance of winning the team competition?
However, it would be fine if the teams ranked lowest did this, after all, they didn't win the championship anyway, and there was no chance of them entering the top three. It would be better for them to take advantage of the special price and buy more pills that could improve their own cultivation.

"This is not a pill made by an ordinary top-grade potion master."

On the way to the camp, the assassin member of Sergeant Level 7, holding a light blue pill between two fingers, showed off to his friends from other teams: "This is the pill made by my brother himself." "Puchi——"

Cai'er, who had just returned to the barracks with Xingyuan from the Exorcist City, happened to hear the conversation between the two and couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Xingyuan: “…”

"Oh! Isn't this my eldest brother? He went out to play with his sister-in-law again."

For some reason, the guys from the Assassin's Temple who were in the same class as them, discovered that Xingyuan's "family status" was obviously higher between the two of them.

The way Xingyuan and Cai'er were addressed changed from "brother-in-law" and "big sister" to the current "big brother" and "sister-in-law".

Compared to 'brother-in-law', Xingyuan is naturally more accepting of the title of 'big brother'.

At least he didn't feel like he was just a gigolo like before, and Cai'er didn't have any objections to this, she was even quite happy about it. After all, she didn't really want to be called a big sister by these people all day long...

"come here."

Xingyuan waved his hand, indicating that he had something to say to them.

However, the two of them obviously misunderstood and thought that Xingyuan was going to make trouble for them talking about his name behind his back, so they immediately ran away.

"You want to leave?"

The two had just transferred their spiritual energy to their feet when a voice that made their limbs go cold was heard in their ears.

Just four words were enough to make their legs, which had been ready to move swiftly, become rooted to the ground and unable to move.

"I, I, I, we won't run away, sister-in-law, big sister, I wonder what big brother wants to see us about?"

"Okay Cai'er, don't scare them."

Xingyuan covered Cai'er's eyes with his hands and asked the two, "Did you buy this Shengling Pill with 300 Merits?"

"No."

The man who was holding the Shengling Pill just now shook his head and said, "I spent 350 merits to buy it."

"Lin Xin raised the price?"

Xingyuan was a little surprised and released her hands that were covering Caier's eyes. She also looked away awkwardly.

"Not like that, big brother."

The man shook his head again, "There are too many people who want to buy big brother's pills, and there are not enough pills to go around, so everyone is paying a higher price."

"...Is that so? Did I really practice too little?"

Xingyuan was thinking whether he should spare some time to refine the medicine. At the same time, he took out another bottle of Shengling Pill from his sleeve and handed it to the other party. "Next time, don't go to Lin Xin to increase the price. Buy directly from me without increasing the price." (End of this chapter)
