The Moon Demon Clan, who pride themselves on being noble, would not travel on low-level magical beasts like the Iron Mane Horse.

Because Xingyuan and his group had already aroused some suspicion from the demons, they had no choice but to take action in the demon territory. As a result, they abandoned their iron-maned horses early and had to travel the rest of the way on foot.

Fortunately, the road ahead is all rugged mountain roads. Although the demons will not come here soon, they will not come here either.

"so tired."

Chen Ying'er said breathlessly, holding Yue Mingnan's pastor's staff in her hand.

"Then let's take a break." Xingyuan said to everyone.

In fact, Chen Ying'er was not the only one who felt tired. The ten days of walking on thin ice had also made all the members of the two newly promoted general-level demon hunting teams, who were carrying out a mission deep into the demon's heartland for the first time, feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Even though Long Haochen is as physically strong as he is, with the cultivation level of a fifth-rank Earth Knight, his eyes are filled with fatigue.

He was already like this, not to mention Xingyuan, who, in addition to being on full alert, also needed to use his ability of future vision from time to time to confirm whether the team's future progress was safe.

As Xingyuan announced a break, the two teams found a place nearby to rest. Dian Yan, a soldier from Long Haochen's team, and his attendant knight Han Yu were in charge of vigilance, while the rest of the people closed their eyes and meditated to relieve their mental fatigue.

Xingyuan leaned against the tree, dozing off with his eyes slightly closed.

"Don't you need to rest?"

Xingyuan raised his head and looked at Cai'er who was sitting on the branch above him and asked her softly.

"I am not tired."

Cai Er shook her head, then clamped her calves tightly around the branch, swung down from it and looked at Xing Yuan, "Just take a rest, I'll help you watch over it."

"Ah."

……

The rest time passed quickly, and the two teams gathered again after regaining their spirits. Long Haochen took out a map from his storage ring and walked forward to discuss with Xingyuan.

After Xingyuan led everyone to evacuate from the Moonlight Merchant Corps silently under the cover of night some time ago to avoid an encounter with the Moon Demon God of the Demon Clan, the command of the two teams fell into Xingyuan's hands.

Even Dian Yan, who had previously been very dissatisfied with him and tried every means to trip up Xingyuan and embarrass him, gradually dispelled his original opinion of Xingyuan during this period of time.

Although he still didn't understand why Xingyuan acted like a playboy in front of everyone, the group of people seemed to be out for a relaxed outing rather than a mission.

Fortunately, Xingyuan's performance during the hunting missions in the Moonlight Merchant Corps and Narik Province, as well as when representing the team in conversations with the demons, made him realize that Xingyuan was not only superior to him in cultivation and strength, but also better than him in other aspects, which made Dian Yan convinced.

Then he attributed Xingyuan's previous behavior to the other party being simply displeased with his rebellious appearance at the time and deliberately doing it for him.

Otherwise, Xingyuan wouldn't have let Cai'er knock him out with a club.

Xingyuan saw through Dianyan's thoughts, but after all, he was now honest and didn't dare to have any other bad intentions, so Xingyuan simply didn't bother to explain to him. After all, he was indeed a vengeful person... "After climbing over this mountain, we should be able to see the location of our mission."

Long Haochen pointed at the map and said to Xingyuan and the crowd that had gathered around him, "But this is the territory of the demons. I heard that the demons have also sensed the unusual aura here. From now on, we must be ready to fight the demons at any time."

"It's the same as before. Everyone should pretend to be Moon Demons first and gain their trust. Then wait until they let down their guard and take action after hearing the signal from me and Haochen."

After Xingyuan finished speaking, he was the first to put on the magic pupils and the cloak that symbolized the Viscount Moon Demon, and started climbing the mountain with the team.

When they were in the province of Narik, they also had to worry that if they kept pretending to be Moon Demons, it would attract the attention of other demon hunting colleagues who were roaming around the demon territory to carry out missions. Then a flood would wash away the Dragon King Temple and their own people would fight against each other. As a result, they only wore the magic pupils when they were near the demon city.

However, now that they have arrived in the Central Province, they naturally have no such worries, especially since the location where they are carrying out their mission is still in the remote corners of the Central Province...

Sure enough, not long after Xingyuan and others had crossed the mountain and had not yet seen the mission location, they ran into a team led by a demon commander.

It's level six.

Xingyuan and Long Haochen exchanged glances, then raised their hands to signal the team to stop temporarily and let the demons come forward to talk to these "noble moon demons".

Although the leader of the demon clan had rarely had contact with the Moon Demon Clan before, he also understood that this was a race where appearance, cultivation and strength were equated.

After seeing the appearance of the two tall moon demons standing at the head of the team, the demon leader's heart skipped a beat.

Although as a demon clan famous for its ferocious and ugly appearance, his aesthetic ability is not very good and he cannot appreciate the so-called feminine beauty of the Moon Demon Clan, but he can also feel that the two people in front of him are probably not comparable to ordinary Moon Demons.

"Stay away from me, disgusting thing."

When the demon leader was less than five meters away from them, Xingyuan spoke and stopped the other party in an extremely contemptuous tone.

"you!"

The demon leader obviously didn't expect that before he even asked these moon demons why they appeared in their demon territory, the other party called him a disgusting thing.

But before it could react, it saw Xingyuan showing him the token representing the identity of Viscount Moon Demon, "Demon Clan, there has been a lot of commotion in your territory recently. His Majesty asked our clan leader to send someone here to investigate. It just so happens that you are here too, so lead the way."

Xingyuan's words revealed a tone that would not tolerate any doubt from the other party, which also shocked Long Haochen who was standing beside him. He did not expect Xingyuan to pretend to be a member of the Moon Demon Clan so easily, while at the same time carefully learning his tone and demeanor when speaking...

Xingyuan: “…”

So embarrassing...

The title of Viscount of the Moon Demon can only be granted to those who have an eighth-level cultivation level or above in the Moon Demon Clan, have made contributions to the clan, and have been appreciated by the clan leader, the Moon Demon God Agares.

As the fourth largest race among the demons, the demons' intelligence level is naturally not comparable to that of the equally ugly double-blade demons. They know that the Moon Demon Viscount in front of them is not someone they can afford to offend. (End of this chapter)
