On the contrary, it made her think that her intentions were too obvious, and Lin Xin noticed it.

Although Lin Jialu didn't know much about Yue Shen's recent situation, at least the other party was still single when she exchanged letters with Li Xin last time.

So...... Is Lin Xin doing this to help us build a good relationship? Lin Jialu took out a porcelain bottle full of pills from the box in front of him, unscrewed it and sniffed the fragrance wafting out of it and its color.

It is indeed much better than the color sent before, and the efficacy of the medicine will also be improved......

Is this what Lin Xin personally refined? Lin Jialu secretly thought in his heart, after all, Master Lin's name was extremely loud in Emmy City back then, and the elixirs refined by the other party could be auctioned at a high price.

It's a pity...... Yue Shen didn't seem to have much feeling for himself.

Lin Jialu casually put the porcelain vase on the table, and found a sheepskin scroll with no wrinkles on the surface from the storage ring between his fingers.

Although Lin Jialu was a little surprised that Yue Shen would send him a reply, the politeness shown by the other party between the lines was even more obvious than her.

Due to confidentiality requirements, Yue Shen could not reveal any information about himself to Lin Jialu, especially since the other party was still Li Zhengzhi's personal disciple.

Therefore, what Yue Shen wrote in the letter was nothing more than a brush-off of his recent situation, and then wished the other party to be more diligent in his cultivation and continue to improve in the Magic Temple.

It's still as impersonal as before.

Lin Jialu had already been able to memorize the content written on the sheepskin scroll, so he didn't unfold it after taking it out, but just looked at it in a daze.

If only she hadn't been brushed off at that year's Demon Hunter tryouts......

……

In the sky, the clouds were thick, like a dense layer of blood mist lingering on the Zhennan Pass.

Zhennan Pass is the weakest of the six major Xiongguan of the Temple Alliance. Although the Priest's healing ability is the strongest of the six classes, attack is their biggest shortcoming.

What's more, the cultivation of a priest is already much more difficult than other professions. As a result, the number of high-ranking priests was much smaller than that of other high-ranking priests in the temple. So if it weren't for the other five major temples sending reinforcements to their Zhennan Pass, coupled with the alliance's heavy support, I'm afraid that Zhennan Pass would have been breached long ago.

At the beginning, when Yue Shen and the demon hunters were forced to come to Zhennan Pass to carry out the war mission, weren't they almost broken by the demons? Subsequently, Zhennanguan agreed to share the quota of people who entered the Dream Heaven with the demons this time, and the war was able to subside.

At the top of Zhennan Pass, the vast majority of them were powerhouses from the other five major temples. Due to the peculiarities of the profession, even though this is the headquarters of the priest's temple, the number of priests that can actually be seen on the city walls is not too large.

In addition to the reason why the number of members of the priest's temple is already scarce compared to other temples, the main reason is that those demons who came to capture Zhennan Pass.

[In view of the general environment,

Although the priest is not good at fighting, he is a good hand at healing, and can provide a steady stream of spiritual power recovery and healing for soldiers fighting on the front line. No matter how large the number of demon armies is, it can't withstand the continuous use of population to consume the spiritual power of priests like this.

Therefore, after being disgusted by the priest group in Zhennanguan so many times, the demon clan finally found a way to break the situation. That is to draw other armies of the demons, such as the Rook Stalker, the Hunter and other high-level assassin troops of the demons, to Zhennan Pass to launch a raid specifically against those priests who are hiding behind the city walls to provide healing and amplification skills.

Although the action of bypassing the opponent's defense line like this and launching a surprise attack on the priest in the rear will inevitably make the losses of the demons in this holy war even worse, the losses on the side of the priest's temple will only be greater than theirs.

Know that for their pastors the temple is cultivated

How difficult it is for a high-ranking priest, but for the demons, on the contrary, the last thing they are afraid of is the decrease in the population.

Even if the mid- and high-level demons like the Rook Stalker and the Hunter are not completely wiped out, the demons don't care how much their population will be reduced in this holy war.

After all, as long as they are given a few more years, the population will soon be able to return to the pre-war period, after all, the speed of reproduction is amazing, and the fear of death is in the eyes of the human beings of the Temple Alliance, the demons are labeled as low- and middle-level demons.

And the demon race doesn't have to worry that the strength and bloodline aura of the new generation of the demon race will be worse than the previous generation.

After all, as long as the bloodline in their bodies was noble enough and did not need any behavior that could help them cultivate, they were born as high-level demons, and as long as they waited for another year, they would be able to join the demon army and become part of the demons' offensive against the Temple Alliance.

On the other hand, the priest temple on the other side, every time they have a high-ranking priest who falls on the battlefield, if they want to cultivate another one, it will take at least two or even three generations of hard work, and it depends on the luck of their priest temple this year. Are there any good seedlings worth cultivating?

Therefore, no matter how much the demon clan paid a huge price for each raid, there was one fact that had been a heavy blow to Zhennanguan, and that was that the number of priests in their temple had been continuously decreasing.

Later, the Zhennanguan military also had to make a decision to let all the priests below the seventh rank withdraw into the Zhennanguan City to be responsible for treating the wounded who were transported down from the front line.

Only those priests above the seventh order who have a certain ability to protect themselves are left to be responsible for supporting the other temple powerhouses in the city.

However, there is an exception to everything.

For example, at the head of Zhennan Pass at this time, there was a bald priest who was stronger than a warrior and had a more fierce fighting style than a knight.

The handsome sixty-fourth demon hunting group precept priest, Sima Xian.

In addition to Sima Xian, there was another familiar face on the wall of Zhennan Pass, that is, Xue Meng, who had successfully broken through the seventh order as early as a few days ago, and had also completed the absorption of the spirit furnace.

Unlike the other priests of the Priest Temple, as well as the bald precept priest Sima Xian, Xue Meng chose the path of dual cultivation of healing and precepts. How her specific cultivation talent was was known only to a few high-ranking members of the Priest Temple, but just from the performance of the other party on the battlefield, almost every clear-eyed person could see that this fair-skinned, beautiful, and powerful female priest was the best of the new generation of the Priest Temple.

Not only was the opponent proficient in using all the skills that a seventh-order cardinal needed to master, but his performance in battle was even no less than that of a seventh-order light magister in the Magic Temple's Nanguan Magister Regiment.

As for the bald priest who was wheeled with an iron ball that was bigger than a wheel, smashing the heads of those demons like watermelons, he was subconsciously ignored by everyone.

After all, instead of letting them accept that the priest can go to hand-to-hand combat with demons of the same rank, it is better to tell them that this fierce "bald priest" is actually a person from the warrior temple next door.

Looking at Xue Meng, who was standing on the top of the city and constantly providing treatment and spiritual power recovery to the front-line soldiers, Ling Xiao, as the priest temple master, couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart.

After all, their priest temple, which is about to have no successor, has finally emerged as a successor after all these years of hard work.

As a priest and the master of the temple, Ling Xiao naturally couldn't accept Xue Meng's accident under his nose. Whenever Xue Meng went up to the city to perform a mission, Ling Xiao could be said to have simply paid attention to the other party, for fear that the other party's amazing performance on the battlefield would attract the attention of the demons, so she sent a high-level demon clan specially used to assassinate her.

Noticing the nervous look on Ling Xiao's face next to him, Ling Lao, who was supposed to enjoy his old age in the southern city of the rear town, couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, it was the right choice for the old fellows in the temple to ask him to come out and preside over the overall situation.

"Old man, don't just look at it." Hearing the sigh of Ling Lao behind him, Ling

Xiao also turned around angrily and said, "Xue Meng is still your old man's precious apprentice, can't you be more concerned about her safety?"

Speaking of this, Ling Xiao also said helplessly, "And I don't know what this girl thinks, she obviously said that she just needs to stay in the rear and cultivate with peace of mind, but she just wants to go to the front line."

"You've been the hall master for so many years, can you behave more steadily?" Ling Lao got up and walked to the window, and his eyes fell on Xue Meng, who was standing above the city wall.

"Old man, are you embarrassed to talk about me?" Although Ling Xiao is now a member of his grandfather's generation, in front of his grandfather, he doesn't have the slightest sense of stability when he speaks, "I don't know who asked the head of the Knights Templar to focus on Xue Meng's girl."

Ling Lao: "......"

"Old man, don't forget, the new generation of our Priest Temple is a good seedling, if she really has a good one, my Priest Temple will probably become a vassal of other Temples in the future." Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Ling Xiao couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade, "You are her teacher, if you come forward, she will definitely be obedient and obedient and cultivate in the rear with peace of mind."

"That's right." Elder Ling nodded slightly, and then suddenly changed his words, "But Ling Xiao, have you ever thought that Xue Meng is just a person from our priest's temple now?"

"Huh?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't react to the meaning of Ling Lao's words for a while.

"Have you forgotten?" Seeing this, Elder Ling also said helplessly, "She is going to return to the Demon Hunting Group after all, and now she is only temporarily returning to the Temple, waiting for the day when their team will be reorganized."

「…… Didn't the Holy Alliance say before that the reason why they wanted to disband Yue Shen's team of demon hunters was that they didn't plan to let them continue their adventures as demon hunters?" Ling Xiao asked with a puzzled expression.

"That's true, but do you think it's a good thing for him to grow up by 'imprisoning' a child of light like this?" Ling Lao's expression was calm, and seeing that Ling Xiao didn't answer, he continued to say slowly, "Although we don't know much about that kid Yue Shen, in my opinion, his idea of reorganizing the team is extremely powerful."

"And it's not just our Priest Temple, but the quality of the members of the new generation of members of the six major temples of the entire Temple Alliance has been declining in recent years, and the current holy war ......" Speaking of this, Ling Lao, who was originally quite energetic, seemed to have suddenly aged by dozens of years, "If nothing else, our Temple Alliance will usher in a darker and more difficult time."

Ling Xiao didn't speak, but in his capacity as the temple master, he naturally knew that what his grandfather said was not alarmist, and it was also the biggest problem that their Pastor Temple, and even the entire Temple Alliance, were facing.

Although the lifespan of ninth-order powerhouses like them, who had cultivated to be powerful, was far more than several times longer than that of ordinary people, even this Ling Lao, who could be regarded as a living history when looking at the entire Temple Alliance, was also the first time he had experienced a holy war.

Since the demons chose to launch a holy war against the Temple Alliance again two thousand years later, it means that under the condition of no special circumstances, whether it is their Temple Alliance or the Demon Race, they will have to experience a heavy hemorrhage until the losses exceed their tolerance range, and this holy war will have the possibility of ending.

However, since the Temple Alliance had already made up its mind to protect Yue Shen and Long Haochen at all costs, it meant that in the end, there would only be two results in this holy war.

One is that the Demon Clan captured the Templar Alliance and forcibly took Yue Shen and the Demon Beast Blood Pact partner who had the ability to destroy the Demon God Pillar.

The other is that their Templar Alliance has won this holy war, and the demons have to withdraw due to heavy losses.

It's a pity that the possibility of the latter result is basically equal to zero in Ling Lao's eyes, after all, how big the gap between the strength of their Temple Alliance and the Demon Race is, he still has some numbers in his heart.

"Yes...... But that's why we need to keep Xue Meng here, and the priest's temple can't be without an heir." Ling Xiao understood what Ling Xiao said, but he also had a temple appearance as a priest

The question that the hall master needs to consider, "Although the form of this war has changed to a protracted war, the strongest combat power on the demon clan's side, the demon god has basically not been on the battlefield so far."

"The number of demon gods in our Zhennanguan battlefield is as high as six, and four of them are all middle- and upper-rank demon gods ranked within the top forty-six among the seventy-two pillar demon gods, once they are gone, we old guys may not have the opportunity to watch this temple grow."

Ling Xiao's eyes showed a bit of regret.
