Chapter 104 The First Step to Becoming an Emperor: First, Recruit a King-Level Demon Hunter Team as Your Underlings

(Thanks to Meng and the other two bosses!)
...

After bidding farewell to the moonlit night, Yuehui took Cai'er's hand and quietly left the Moon Demon Palace.

The two walked through the night and returned to the Demon Hunter Group's hidden base.

It was a naturally formed crack in the mountain, which, after being carefully modified by Long Haochen, became an excellent hiding place for the Commander-level Demon Hunter Team.

"The commander is back!" Long Haochen was the first to notice the commotion and immediately called out to remind him.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and saw Yuehui leading Cai'er slowly walking towards the entrance of the mountain crevice.

"Huh? Why does it feel like there's something different between the team leader and Cai'er?" Chen Ying'er stroked her chin, her eyes darting between the two of them.

Wang Yuanyuan immediately understood and leaned closer, lowering her voice: "Could something have happened in the Moon Demon Palace?"

Yuehui's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

(I almost forgot there are two prophets in the group!)
"Commander, how are things going?" Lu Xi asked.

"It went fairly smoothly," Yuehui replied with a light laugh, her fingers unconsciously caressing Cai'er's soft little hand.

Suddenly, his expression turned serious: "Everyone, get ready, we should continue our mission."

He then turned to Long Haochen and said, "Haochen, come with me for a moment."

Long Haochen was visibly taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered: "Yes, Commander!"

He quickly followed in Yuehui's footsteps.

……

The two arrived outside the mountain crevice, and Yuehui raised her hand to set up a soundproof barrier.

“Haochen,” Yuehui said solemnly, “I learned from Sister Yueye that the Demon Emperor has recently been secretly searching for magical beasts with more than three heads.”

Long Haochen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice trembled slightly: "Commander, are you saying... he's looking for Haoyue?"

Moonlight nodded heavily: "Do you remember what I told you? The Seventy-Two Pillar Demons were originally the spirits of the artifact that sealed the God of Heavenly Punishment, but they ended up in this world because of Austin Griffin's self-destruction."

He pressed down on Long Haochen's shoulder, "They are extremely sensitive to the aura of divine punishment. As long as Haoyue uses her power, the Demon God Emperor may detect it."

Long Haochen's face turned deathly pale, and his fists clenched involuntarily: "Then... what should I do?"

"Don't be too nervous," Moonbeam reassured. "The Demon Emperor is only suspicious right now. Remember, outside of the Eternal Tower, never let Bright Moon use that purple divine punishment power, and avoid even the fusion form as much as possible!"

He secretly rejoiced that the Demon God Emperor hadn't allowed the Star Demon God to use the Great Prophecy Technique, otherwise the lie would have been impossible to cover up.

Long Haochen nodded emphatically: "I understand! Thank you, Commander."

"As fellow members of the Demon Hunter team, there's no need for thanks." Moonlight withdrew her hand. "After we return, we'll go and conquer the Tower of Eternity."

Considering the perilous nature of this operation, he decided to return to the Holy Alliance to manage his influence after it was completed, as it was time to plan for his future with Cai'er.

……

Moonbeam and her group left the central region of the Demon Realm and arrived at the neighboring Yak Province.

Their two main killing missions were to hunt down one hundred Yak demons and kill a Yak demon leader.

Among the twenty killing missions available, these two missions offer the second-highest rewards, only after the Serpent God mission.

"hidden!"

As Yuehui walked through the swirling sandstorm, he suddenly whispered a command.

His keen senses allowed him to detect that a demon army was approaching from several miles away, but the raging sandstorm obscured his vision, making it impossible to determine their exact number and type.

Upon hearing the command, everyone quickly hid behind a small sand dune. Cai'er, however, silently broke away from the group, her figure instantly disappearing into the sandstorm, and stealthily probed towards the source of the sound.

Before long, Cai'er's figure reappeared before everyone like a ghost.

“It’s the Yak tribe,” she said in a low voice, “and they’re chasing a demon-hunting group.” As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Moonbeam.

Moonlight frowned slightly: "What is the size of the other side?"

“There are no fewer than a thousand ordinary Jacques,” Cai’er quickly reported. “The leaders are two eighth-rank Jacques chiefs, and there are also thirty or forty sixth-rank commanders.”

She paused, "The group being chased should be a King-level Demon Hunter team, but the situation is not good—none of them can deploy their spirit wings, and they are all covered in purple slime, which is probably what is limiting their ability to fly."

A glint of light flashed in Yuehui's purple eyes.

(King-level Demon Hunter Team)

(If you can provide assistance, you will surely gain a great deal of favor.)
He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Now we have two choices: if we save them, we will face great danger; if we don't save them, our comrades will surely perish here. What do you think?"

"Commander, let's go!" Long Haochen gripped the Aria of Light tightly, his golden eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan, and others nodded in agreement.

“Alright! Let’s save him!” Yuehui took out the Thousand Chance Umbrella and turned to Cai’er: “Cai’er, that annoying guy in the air is yours.”

"That should be a Spore Demon, a Tier 6 aerial support unit. Although it doesn't have strong control abilities, it can spray a large amount of mucus. Once you get covered in it, not only will your spirit wings be sealed, but your speed will also be greatly reduced."

"After Cai'er deals with the Spore Demon, we'll launch a flanking attack. Remember: avoid direct confrontation with the enemy; simply create opportunities for your comrades to escape."

"Take off and evacuate immediately after the mission is completed. Only those of the sixth rank and above among the Yak tribe possess the ability to fly."

“I will keep those two eighth-tier Yak leaders in check.”

"Everyone must strictly follow orders and is prohibited from engaging in prolonged combat!"

"Sakura, let McDull transform into a spore demon and seal the Yak tribe's ability to fly!"

"Haochen, be ready to activate the Eternal Melody teleportation at any time."

"If there is any emergency, I will cover your retreat! Don't worry, I still have a ninth-tier forbidden spell scroll to save my life."

"Understood!" the members of the Commander-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 64 responded in unison.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cai'er's black spirit wings suddenly unfolded behind her, and her figure shot into the sky like an arrow, gradually disappearing into the void as she ascended.

At the same time, the distant roar was getting closer and closer.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, several figures could be vaguely seen fleeing in panic, while a dense barrage of spears hurtled through the air from behind, emitting sharp whistles.

Jacques – these centaur-like demonic creatures have a human-like upper body and strong horse hooves on their lower body, and are best known for throwing spears to hunt down their prey.

The pursuing King-level Demon Hunter team was clearly in dire straits.

At the rear of the group, a knight rode a seven-meter-long earth dragon to cover the rear, his body flashing with golden light as he barely managed to block most of the attacks.

The remaining members rode various summoned beasts, racing away—it was these summoned mounts that allowed them to survive until now.

Just as the Jacques vanguard reached the hill, a burst of purple light appeared in Moonlight's eyes.

"Ready to fight!"

The Thousand Chance Umbrella instantly transformed into a staff in his hand, with the epic-grade lightning gem embedded at its top bursting forth with dazzling purple-gold lightning.

Ya Ting and Lei Ji also appeared behind Yue Hui, and to the surprise of Long Hao Chen and the others, they switched to "large" mode.

"The majestic power of heaven..."
