Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 95 Moonlight: You're trying to extort me? Go and summon the Consul and the Chief of Staff!

Inside the magic temple, Li Zhengzhi slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table with a "bang".

"Twenty killing missions? And one to hunt down a demon god?" He suddenly stood up. "Where are they?"

"We left the city early this morning," the magician replied, bowing his head.

Li Zhengzhi rubbed his temples: "You just killed seven demon god inheritors, don't you know how to restrain yourself? Aren't you afraid of being surrounded?"

On second thought, that kid could even kill the ninth-rank demon god An Luoxian, so dealing with a low-ranking demon god shouldn't be a problem... Yeah, right!

Of the seventy-two demon gods, only the seventh demon god, Ah Nan, is truly alone.

Which of the others didn't have a group of underlings with them?
To kill the Serpent Demon God, we must first take care of his entire personal guard!
"Garlic Bird. Since you dared to accept the mission, you must be confident, right?" Li Zhengzhi muttered to himself, rubbing his temples.

……

Moonbeam and his group had already boarded the exclusive carriage of the Commander-level Demon Hunter Team No. 64, and after a comfortable ten-day journey, they arrived at Starseeking City once again.

"Commander, I'd like to go to the Warrior's Temple first to pay my respects to the statue of Senior Ye Wushang," Long Haochen suggested.

Moonbeam smiled and said, "What a coincidence, that's what I was planning to do too. But let's first go to the Moonlit Merchant Guild to inquire about the recent caravans heading to the Demon Realm, and then head to the Warrior's Temple together."

Long Haochen nodded upon hearing this.

The seven-person team set off, heading towards the headquarters of the Moonlit Merchant Guild.

...

The group arrived in front of a two-story building with the four gilded characters "Moonlight Merchant Guild" hanging above the door.

As Yuehui led the group into the Chamber of Commerce hall, a shop assistant immediately came up to greet them and inquire.

Yuehui took out the token that Yueye had given him and asked the shop assistant to invite the manager over.

Chen Ying'er, Wang Yuanyuan, and the others scattered, curiously examining the various goods displayed in the Chamber of Commerce.

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps came from outside the Chamber of Commerce, and a squad of fully armed soldiers rushed in.

The leading officer, wearing chainmail, arrogantly raised his chin.

With one hand on the sword at his waist and the other on his hip, he shouted, "Where's your boss? Tell him to come out!"

The accompanying soldiers quickly formed ranks, their spears pointing straight into the guild hall, blocking both entrances and exits.

"Sir, what's wrong?" a waiter quickly stepped forward to ask.

The officer sneered, "Someone reported that your Moonlit Merchant Guild is colluding with the Demon Clan. I'm here to take your boss back for questioning!"

The shopkeeper was clearly stunned: "Sir, we are independent merchants, protected by the alliance."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish speaking, the officer slapped the waiter across the face.

"Get the hell out of here, you wandering merchant! I am the newly appointed inspector, specifically in charge of patrolling this street!"

The officer shouted sternly, "Your Moonlit Merchant Guild is the richest on this street. What else could it be but colluding with the demons?!"

Upon hearing these words, Yuehui, who had been watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, immediately turned cold.

The Moonlit Merchant Guild is not only a business of the Moonlit Night, but also a business of the Moon Demon Clan.

As the crown prince of the Moon Demon Clan, the Moon Night Merchant Guild is practically his business!
(Are they trying to extort me?!)

(Does this official in Starseeking City not want to be in office anymore?)
At that moment, a steward hurriedly came out from the inner room.

Upon seeing the fully armed soldiers at the entrance, he was taken aback at first, then understood.

“Sir,” the manager bowed respectfully, “I am the manager of the Moonlit Merchant Guild. May I ask why you have blocked our guild’s gates? We are a legitimate merchant group protected by the Alliance Government.”

"Bullshit!" the officer interrupted rudely. "Doing business with the demons is treason! Men, seize him!" He reached out to grab the officer in charge's shoulder.

"Humph!"

A cold snort rang out, and a flash of purple-gold lightning disappeared into the air.

"Ugh!" The officer convulsed and fell straight to the ground while still in the gripping position.

"Who goes there?!" The soldiers were terrified.

"Go and summon the Governor or the Chief of Military Affairs of Starseeking City!" Moonshine flung a token, which landed squarely on a soldier's chest. "Otherwise, none of you are leaving!" Her chilling gaze slowly swept over the remaining soldiers.
"Take your useless leader and get to the corner and kneel down!"

These soldiers, who usually swagger around like arrogance, had never seen anything like this before.
Under the sharp killing intent and heavy pressure of the moonlight, they didn't dare to even breathe loudly. They could only tremble and support the stiff-bodied inspector, making him kneel shakily in the corner.

The members of the Chamber of Commerce, who were scattered throughout the area, rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

After learning the whole story, everyone's eyes burned with rage.

They fought against the demons on the battlefield to protect the peace of the human people.

But now, while our soldiers are fighting a bloody battle on the front lines, there are such parasites in the rear who are oppressing the good and kind!

"Damn it, I really want to throw him onto the demon battlefield!" Lu Xi cursed under his breath.

“That’s right, it’s awful, it’s disgusting!” Chen Ying’er echoed.

At this moment, the manager of the Moonlit Merchant Guild stepped forward quickly and respectfully bowed to Moonlight.

"Is this Young Master Yuehui?" the steward asked cautiously.

“That’s right, that’s me.” Moonlight nodded slightly.

Long Haochen, who was standing to the side, frowned and asked, "Does something like this happen often in the merchant guild?"

The steward quickly waved his hand: "We rarely encounter this situation. This officer must be newly appointed, and his behavior is definitely not typical of the military."

Upon hearing this, Long Haochen and the others' expressions softened slightly.

Han Yu asked, puzzled, "Then why didn't you question him just now?"

"The key to doing business is harmony," the manager said with a wry smile. "We businessmen have never dared to argue with the government."

Upon hearing this, Yuehui's lips curled into a cold smile.

If it were another caravan encountering such a thing, he would be happy to watch the spectacle.

But these blind fools dared to extort money from him right in front of him!
This matter must not be left unresolved.

If StarSeeking City doesn't give a satisfactory explanation, well...
"How much longer until the Moonlit Merchant Guild sets off?" Moonlight asked.

"The newest merchant caravan will depart in three days, and the goods are almost ready," the manager said respectfully.

“Very good.” Moonbeam nodded in satisfaction. “We will then enter the demon territory with the caravan.”

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from outside the door.

Two middle-aged men rushed into the Chamber of Commerce in a panic; one was dressed in a brocade official robe, and the other was clad in gleaming plate armor.

The two men immediately spotted the soldier kneeling in the corner, and their faces turned ashen.

The Chief of Staff strode forward and kicked the officer, yelling, "You bastard! You've disgraced Starseeking City!"

After kicking the patrol officer to the ground, the Chief of the General Staff shouted, "Where is he?!"

The inspector dared not raise his head, but pointed tremblingly at Yuehui and his group of seven.

The consul and the chief of staff looked in that direction and were both stunned.

The group of young people in front of them were so young that it was hard to believe that they were a top-tier demon hunter team.

The seasoned governor was the first to react, stepping forward and bowing, saying, "I am Shui Mu, the governor of Xingxun City, and this is Han Qianyu, the military chief. We were unaware of the arrival of you demon hunters, and we apologize for not welcoming you properly."

Yuehui nodded coldly: "You are probably already aware of what happened. I expect a fair resolution, and if similar incidents occur again," his gaze turned icy, "I won't hesitate to appeal to the Alliance and have you all dismissed!"

Upon hearing this, Han Qianyu's expression changed drastically, and he angrily said, "What happened today was indeed our oversight, and we will punish those responsible severely. But how Starseeking City enforces the law is none of your business, the Demon Hunter Team! My position, Han Qianyu, is not something you can change with a single word!"

"What a perfect example of 'like father, like son'!" Yuehui laughed angrily. "Then you can all just wait to receive your dismissal orders!"

"let's go!"

After saying this, he took back the token and led the group away.

Han Qianyu stared at the departing figures of Yuehui and the others, and spat out a curse.

“Old Han, why are you doing this?” Governor Shui Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly. “The Demon Hunter Corps is not someone to be trifled with.”

"Pah!" Han Qianyu scoffed. "A mere Commander-level Demon Hunter Team thinks they can take my place? Only King-level Demon Hunter Teams can stand on equal footing with us! What are they? They think they're something special just because they killed a few demons?"

The Chief of the General Staff was clearly unaware that the Commander-in-Chief 64th Demon Hunter Regiment was never an "ordinary" demon hunter regiment.
