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

Chapter 98 Noble Nature, Ruler of Thunder!
As dawn broke, the Moonshine Merchant Guild's caravan slowly departed from the Southeast Fortress, heading towards the Demon Realm.

With the special permit from the Temple of Warriors, the checks at the checkpoints along the way were much more lenient.

Moonlight and her entourage sat in the exceptionally luxurious carriage in the center of the convoy—the same model that Moonlight had ridden in years ago.

The carriage was spacious enough for seven people to move around comfortably. It was covered with thick monster fur, and a low mahogany table was placed in the center.

The side cabinet is stocked with fresh fruit, delicate pastries, and fine wines.

"This isn't just a carriage, it's practically a mobile palace!"

Wang Yuanyuan lazily sank into the soft down cushion, picked up a crystal grape with her slender fingers, put it in her mouth, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

“No wonder those scoundrels from Starseeking City have their eyes on the Moonlit Merchant Guild,” Chen Ying’er clicked her tongue. “They’re incredibly extravagant.”

Moonlight took out a yellowed sheepskin map from her storage ring and slowly unfurled it on the low mahogany table.

The map is densely marked with the detailed distribution of the seventy-two provinces of the Demon Clan, and the location of the Demon Clan tribes and their racial composition in each province are clearly visible.

"The caravan will arrive at the Demon Clan's border camp tonight, and if all goes well, it will pass through Nado City, the capital of Narik, at noon tomorrow."

Moonlight tapped a prominent red cross on the map. "Let's take this opportunity to complete the mission of hunting down five Golden Bird Demons and five Bloodthirsty Berserkers."

Chen Ying'er hesitated, biting into a grape, and said, "But if we make a move in the caravan, won't it implicate the caravan?"

“The map shows that a demon god is stationed in Nado City,” Wang Yuanyuan added.

A dangerous smile played on Moonlight's lips: "Of course they'll be suspicious—but what can they do?"

"Let alone whether they dare to investigate the Moonlit Caravan, even if they did, would they be able to find out anything?"

Before he finished speaking, everyone smiled knowingly, and their eyes all turned to Long Haochen.

Yes!

They possess the divine artifact, Eternal Melody.

After the assassination, they immediately hid in the space of Eternal Melody. Even if the Demon Emperor himself came, he would not be able to find their trace!

"Once we arrive in Nado City, I will receive the five golden pheasant demons," Yuehui said.
"You can practice on the other five bloodthirsty berserkers. The Moonlit Caravan will help us locate the target."

"Understood!" the group replied in unison, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

……

The convoy slowly drove into the demon territory, and the whole process went more smoothly than expected.

The Moonlit Merchant Guild received even better treatment within the Demon Realm than they had within the Holy Temple Alliance.

The demon guards at the checkpoints along the way all respectfully let the merchant caravan pass upon seeing its flag, and some demon officers even personally led the way.

All of this is thanks to the painful lesson learned last time—after the three demon gods led their armies to plunder the Moonlit Merchant Guild, the Moon Demon God Agares and the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu were furious and joined forces to carry out a bloody purge.

Not only were the demon army involved in the operation slaughtered, but the three demon gods were also deposed and replaced with new successors.

With such swift and decisive measures, which demon would dare to make things difficult for the Moonlit Merchant Guild now?
After successfully passing through the demon border, the caravan had already penetrated deep into the heart of Narik Province by the morning of the second day.

Just as Yuehui had predicted, the convoy arrived at the provincial capital, Nado City, at noon on time.

As is customary, the merchant group will rest here for an hour.

After the caravan came to a stop in the central square of Nado City, less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the manager of the merchant guild quietly came to Moonbeam's carriage and slipped a crumpled piece of paper into the window.

Moonlight unfolded the crumpled paper, on which was drawn a simple layout map of Nado City—a dozen or so scarlet marks were particularly glaring, indicating the locations of the Golden Bird Demon and the Bloodthirsty Mad Demon.

Each marker was also carefully labeled with the patrol time and troop deployment.

"action!"

……

Moonbeam moved like lightning, swiftly traversing the demon streets.

He needed to deal with the five golden bird demons on his own, so as soon as he separated from his teammates, he headed straight for the eastern district according to the map he remembered.

Although Nado City is the capital of Narik Province, it is not a large city.

The streets were filled with all kinds of demons—of course, low-level demons like the Twin-Blade Demon were strictly forbidden from entering the city, and even the Emerald Twin-Blade Demon was no exception!
Along the way, the demons who saw Moonlight's signature purple hair and eyes, as well as his exceptionally handsome appearance, all fled in fear. In the demons' strict hierarchical system, human form was already a symbol of high-ranking demons, let alone purple hair and eyes, which symbolized the direct line of the Moon Demon Clan.

Even the most ordinary members of the Moon Demon Clan are beings that the likes of the Beast Demon and the Mad Demon cannot afford to provoke.

A cold smile played on Yuehui's lips as he moved like a ghost through the alleyways.

The demons only saw a flash of purple shadow, and before they could even see his face clearly, the figure had already disappeared around the street corner.

Yuehui stopped in front of a simple restaurant, where his target was enjoying a delicious meal.

Although the demon race has occupied a large part of the Holy Demon Continent, they are deeply influenced by human culture, especially their pursuit of food.

Below the restaurant sign are four striking black markings—a sign that only demons of the fourth rank and above are allowed to enter.

Moonlight stepped in.

Inside the cramped hall, a golden bird demon occupied the best spot, with four dishes and a soup, along with a pot of fine wine, laid out in front of it, its mouth greasy with food.

Moonlight walked straight to the Golden Bird Demon and slammed a Moon Demon Clan token heavily on the table.

"Who the hell is it?" The Golden Bird Demon was about to get angry, but his whole body stiffened the moment he saw the token.

It looked up timidly, and when it met those cold, purple eyes, it was almost scared out of its wits.

(Purple hair! Purple eyes! Such a handsome face!)
(This is definitely a nobleman from the Moon Demon Clan!)

Before the Golden Bird Demon could speak, Moonlight interrupted him coldly: "Come out with me."

"Yes!"

After turning through several quiet alleys, we arrived at a deserted corner.

The Golden Bird Demon immediately knelt on one knee, trembling as he said, "Your Excellency Earl Moon Demon, what are your orders?"

Moonlight looked down at it from its high position: "I need to conscript your Bitter Li Clan for service. But one of you is not enough, go and find four more Golden Bird Demons."

A cold glint flashed in his purple eyes: "I'll give you fifteen minutes. If you don't gather them all, you don't need to come back."

The Golden Bird Demon trembled, inwardly lamenting his misfortune—he had only wanted to take a vacation and have a good meal, how did he end up running into this evil star?
But how could it dare to disobey, unless it were suicidal!
"My subordinates will do it now!"

After saying that, he ran away without looking back, afraid that if he was even a step too slow, he would lose his life.

After the Golden Bird Demon left, Moonlight played with the Moon Demon Earl's token in his hand.

A slight smile played on his lips: "This identity certainly saves a lot of trouble."

……

Less than ten minutes later, the five golden bird demons hurriedly returned.

The leading beastman knelt and reported, "Your Excellency Earl, I have completed the summons as you instructed."

The other four, though unaware of what was happening, also knelt down.

“Very good.” Yuehui stood with his hands behind his back. “Next, I need your help to complete a task.”

"Please give your instructions, sir!" the five beast demons responded in unison.

A cold glint flashed in Yuehui's purple eyes: "I urge you all—to commit suicide and return to heaven!"

"what?!"

Before the Five Animal Demons could react, the spiritual energy within their bodies suddenly went out of control and went berserk!

The raging golden lightning backfired on them, rendering them unable to move.

Just then, golden light suddenly shone from the hand of the "Moon Demon Earl".

A golden spear appeared out of thin air, its blade adorned with a dark purple crystal crown that emitted terrifying lightning!

"Whoosh!"
