Divine Seal: A Bao was born, and the delicate beauty was snatched away

Chapter 226 Jacques's Changes
Unaware that he was about to suffer a terrible misfortune, Feng Haochen and his teammates were carefully examining the map of the demon race that Yuejiao had sent earlier.

It is covered with dense annotations, showing the distribution of the various provinces of the demon race, and the location of the demon races and demon gods in each province.

Even the official Temple Alliance might not have such a detailed map.

Feng Haochen knew that this was provided by his maternal grandmother's family's influence. How could he not know that his grandmother's influence was related to the demon race?
Feng Haochen didn't know exactly how he felt, but he knew he couldn't tell anyone.

Therefore, he did not inform the Holy Alliance about this.

Feng Haochen pointed to the map and said, "If everything goes smoothly, the caravan will stop for a short rest in Nado City, the capital of Narik Province, at noon tomorrow."

"We'll take this opportunity to first complete the mission of killing the five golden avian demons in Nado City, and then continue deeper into the demon realm with the caravan."

Chen Ying'er stared at the markings on the map and said, "According to the map, there is a demon god guarding Nado City. Are we going to alert him?"

Feng Haochen nodded and said, "It's not so much arousing suspicion as it might alert them. But even if we search, we're not afraid of the Eternal Tower's existence."

Besides using Aion as his last resort, Yuejiao had actually sent someone to tell him this.

The Moonflower Caravan has held a significant position among the demons in recent years, and few demons dare to investigate it directly.

But I can't share this with anyone else now.

Seeing Feng Haochen's confidence, Chen Ying'er opened her mouth, but in the end she kept quiet and nodded slightly to indicate that she had no objection.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Feng Haochen began the second step of the arrangement, saying, "Our route plan is set. In the kill mission, Cai'er and I will each kill a Golden Bird Demon solo."

Lin Xin, you and Han Yu are in a group to kill a Golden Bird Demon. Han Yu will be the main support.

"Yuan Yuan, Sima, you each take charge of one Golden Bird Demon, and Ying'er will provide backup."

"Yes."

···
Just as Feng Haochen said, the Moonflower Merchant Guild received much better treatment after entering the Demon Realm than they did within the Holy Temple Alliance.

Feng Haochen also wondered how his grandmother's men managed to do business with the demons, managing to gain such respect that even many demon gods gave them face.

That's good, it made things convenient for him.

After such a long period of seclusion, Feng Haochen and his group immediately accepted sixteen missions upon emerging, intending to directly challenge for the King-level Demon Hunter Team.

With the help of the Moonflower Merchant Guild, the danger of their mission was greatly reduced.

Narik Province is located on the frontier and people live in extreme poverty.

According to the manager of the Yuehua Caravan, in the past, demons would often risk being pursued by other high-ranking demon gods to rob caravans here, but now it is much more peaceful.

The manager's words indirectly revealed that the caravan was connected to certain high-ranking demon gods.

Soon, Feng Haochen caused quite a stir in Narik Province, and this commotion quickly reached the attention of Ayalina and the others.

Upon learning that Feng Haochen and his group had killed five golden demonic birds and escaped easily, Ayalina made no comment. In any case, such a matter of inadequate management was something Feng Xiu should handle.

"Never mind, I remember the tasks Haochen received were all relatively easy at the beginning, so completing them won't have any impact, but—"

Just like Feng Haochen had, Ayalina also had a detailed map showing the distribution of their demon race.

Ultimately, her gaze fell upon the Yac province.

She remembered that the Yuehua caravan would part ways with Feng Haochen before entering the Central Bank Province, and their first mission after parting ways would be in the Yake Province, which borders the northern part of the Central Bank Province.

Here, his grandson will have his seventh mission—to kill one hundred Jacques demons.

Although the Yak Demons are not demon gods and their strength is generally not high, only at the fourth rank, they prefer to live in groups and are good at close combat. Within their race, the strongest Yak Demons are at the eighth rank, and even the commanders possess sixth-rank strength.

However, the entire Jacques race only numbers five or six thousand.

It was impossible for Feng Haochen to complete the mission without the Yak tribe chief discovering it.

Moreover, Ayalina did not intend to help Feng Haochen succeed in his mission.

Many years ago, she had secretly subjugated the Yak tribe and made them her vassals.

Jacques doesn't often appear on the battlefield. Ayalina, along with the Moon Demons and Star Demons of these years, researched and cultivated foods that could be eaten by demons. She sent Jacques to specialize in cultivation.

In fact, besides her Treasure City, the province of Jacques, which was the experimental site for the coexistence of humans and demons, was also a place that Ayalina had claimed.

She wouldn't let Feng Haochen and the others disrupt the peace there.

Ayalina decided to send people to the Yac Province to stop Feng Haochen and his group from completing their mission. Ideally, they should be driven out of the province, and if possible, driven all the way to Treasure City.

She was thinking of sending her men to the Yak province when, unexpectedly, Abao and Yuejiao came to stop her after hearing about it.

"what happened?"

Ayalina was somewhat surprised that Abao and Yuejiao both tried to stop her.

"Mom, there's really no need to send anyone else."

Abao explained, "Yue'er's Dragon Group is currently in the Yake Province. You could have just told Yue'er directly."

Ayalina's expression was just like when Yuejiao chuckled a few days ago when she joked with everyone about what would happen if her eldest nephew met Fengyue.

Now look what's happened; my words have come true.

"Okay, I understand. I'll tell Yue'er to be careful these days."

She's maintained a virtuous and gentle demeanor in front of her son for so many years; she shouldn't let it all fall apart and scare him.

···
The Yac province was a surprise to everyone.

In this area ruled by the demons, the land is extremely barren, so it is normal that farmland is scarce.

However, as soon as Feng Haochen and his group entered the territory of Yak Province, they were stunned by the vast fields and even the continuous forests.

Even if the trees here have become somewhat ugly because of the demons, it cannot hide the fact that they are indeed trees.

Feng Haochen and his group could even vaguely discern that these trees should be cold-resistant and drought-resistant.

"My God, have the demons changed their nature?"

When they stopped to rest, still dozens of miles from the main city of Yak Province, Sima Xian secretly went to the edge of the fields in the woods by the roadside and observed for a long time, and couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Who knows? But I don't think the harvest from this field is going to be very good."

Lin Xin could tell at a glance that the soil here was not fertile enough, and the yield of food grown here would most likely be half that of food grown among humans.

"Being able to farm... at least you won't be thinking about fighting and killing every day."

When Feng Haochen saw Sima Xian and Lin Xin whispering to each other around someone, he went over to take a look.

He then went on to describe the strange things he had observed along the way: "Although the Yak province is not large, there are traces of cultivation and land reclamation almost everywhere, but it is very much like the way humans behave. This Yak province seems to be quite different from what we originally knew..."

The demons' behavior reminds me of Wong Tai Sin's quest for a title...
