Divine Seal: God Descends, Holy Priest Riding a Black Dragon

Chapter 44: Sneaking into the Moonlight Chamber of Commerce
“You mean infiltrating the ranks of wandering merchants? That is indeed a good idea,” Wen Tai said.

Dianyan continued, "I grew up in Xingxun City and am familiar with these wandering merchants, so I'll contact them."

"Alright, then thank you for your trouble, Brother Dianyan," Long Haochen said with a smile.

Since they were going to blend in with the group of wandering merchants, they naturally had to dress simply, and the group changed their clothes outside.

To be honest, even in coarse linen clothes, their noble aura was still undeniable.

Li Xin suddenly asked, "What about these mounts?"

She was referring to the strong horses ridden by the others; not all professionals have contracted partners.

Wen Tai said with a bit of a laugh, "Sister Li Xin, why can't we be a little bolder? We're demon hunters now, why don't we just leave our mounts with the city lord's mansion? The city lord will thank us."

Everyone was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what Wen Tai meant.

Dianyan quickly said, "No need for such trouble, I can handle it. You should go into the city first. There's a clean Wyndham Hotel in the south of the city. I'll go there to find you after I've made contact with them."

Dianyan was very efficient, which clearly showed that he had some connections in Starseeking City.

Less than an hour after Wen Tai and his group checked into the Wyndham Hotel, Dian Yan returned with his men, but he went to Long Haochen and Cai'er's room.

In short, after Wen Tai cultivated for a night, Dian Yan and Long Haochen had settled all the matters.

After staying in Starseeking City for three days, the Moonlit Caravan they had infiltrated set off, starting from the south gate and heading straight southeast.

The Moonlit Caravan is one of the largest caravans operating outside the border. This time, it was transporting more than 200 carts of goods and involved nearly 2,000 people, so it was really nothing for Wen Tai and a dozen others to sneak in.

The two demon-hunting teams had a very simple task: to move and guard the goods; they didn't need to worry about anything else.

The Moonlit Caravan could even enter the Southeast Fortress openly and then cross into the Demon Realm from there.

It seems that the existence of wandering merchants is an unspoken rule tacitly accepted by both humans and demons.

After all, the demon race occupies three-quarters of the Holy Demon Continent's territory, and many of its resources are extremely important to humanity. Furthermore, the food produced by humans is a necessity for the demon race.

The night was quiet, and the caravan's torches resembled a long, winding dragon.

The two demon-hunting teams gathered together, chatting around the campfire.

Yi Jun, a mage from the fourth-ranked demon hunter team, said casually, "Tell me, why did the Moonlit Merchant Guild allow the Southeast Fortress to let us pass? If we followed the Moonlit Merchant Guild, it would save us a lot of trouble."

"What else could it be? The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for gain! We need the Demon Clan's minerals and resources, and the Demon Clan needs our food." Wen Tai revealed the true nature of the wandering merchants in one sentence.

Although Wen Tai is the youngest in age, he is quite mature mentally.

Lu Xi looked at Wen Tai in a daze. What a line, "The world is bustling and noisy," which directly revealed the true nature of a wandering merchant.

"Wow, Brother Wentai, you know so much!" After Bai Xiaomo became familiar with Li Xin, she also started calling Wentai "brother".

Wen Tai was so angry his nose almost twisted: "Don't call me little brother, call me brother, understand?"

Bai Xiaomo smiled and said, "But I'm older than you."

Wen Tai replied, "I'm actually taller than you."

While the group was bickering and joking, Wen Tai and Long Haochen almost simultaneously looked up and gazed in a certain direction in the darkness.

"The enemy is coming! Everyone prepare to react. Avoid using your signature abilities as much as possible. Priests should not heal unless absolutely necessary. No one should release their spiritual energy. Defend yourselves using the truck!"

Long Haochen's voice rang in the ears of the two demon hunters. Wen Tai and the others immediately stood up and huddled together, while the members of the Warrior-level Fourth Demon Hunter Team were still bewildered, not knowing where the enemy had come from.

"Do as Haochen orders!"

At this moment, Li Xin stood up abruptly and said that although she did not know where the enemy was, she unconditionally trusted Long Haochen.

"Eagle Eye Technique".

Wen Tai secretly cast a spell, and several small birds made of wind elements flew out from his palm and disappeared into the vast black night sky.

His vision can connect at any time with the invisible eagle's eye that flies hidden in the night sky!
“There are too many to count,” Wen Tai quickly stated what he had seen.

Suddenly, a white beam of light appeared in front of the caravan, rising into the sky and transforming into a cloud of white smoke that spread outwards.

Upon seeing the white light, all the coachmen immediately became alert, each reacting differently. In no time, more than two hundred carriages were arranged into a huge circular formation.

More than five hundred armored guards appeared around the convoy; their armor radiated a magical aura, indicating that they were at least magic-level equipment.

Damn it, seriously.

Wen Tai glanced around and suddenly noticed a woman with a graceful figure standing on the carriage in the middle. Her cool white dress was particularly eye-catching in the moonlight.

"So hot..." Wen Tai swallowed hard.

That must be Moonlit Night, the owner of the Moonlit Night Merchant Guild. She truly lives up to her title as the most beautiful woman in the Moon Demon Clan; she is indeed stunning.

And it just so happens to be Wen Tai's type.

Unlike cute little beauties like Cai'er and Chen Ying'er, Wen Tai prefers mature and sophisticated women.

Moonlight raised her hand, and a ball of white light flew into the sky once again.

This time, the white light exploded high in the sky, turning into a bright crescent moon.

This is the emblem of the Moon Demon Clan, but the demon figures in the distance seemed not to see the emblem at all, and their charging momentum did not diminish in the slightest.

“It’s the Demon Clan,” Wang Yuanyuan whispered.

“They are demons who have gone mad with hunger!” Wen Tai repeated.

The demon army drew ever closer, and everyone could feel a strong tremor; the demon army numbered no less than ten thousand.

The demons at the forefront were still cannon fodder dual-wielding demons, numbering about five thousand, led by a dozen or so emerald green dual-wielding demons.

“This army doesn’t seem like thieves or bandits; rather, it seems like they came prepared,” Wen Tai said after careful examination.

"You came prepared? For whom? Was our whereabouts betrayed?" Lu Xi asked, her eyes wide with shock.

"Of course it's not us."

Long Haochen continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the supplies escorted by the Moonlit Caravan include a large amount of food. These demons came for the food."

"Everyone, don't panic. The caravan should have a way to deal with this. Let's take a look first." Wen Tai picked up Chen Ying'er and placed her in the middle of the group to protect her.

Fortunately, the caravan did have a way to deal with it.

The carriage parked on the outskirts suddenly opened on one side, revealing rows of arrowheads that gleamed with a cold, eerie light, each arrow shimmering with magical energy.
