Throne of Gods: The mighty power of the heavens, the holy dragon descends upon the world!

Chapter 37 First Encounter Under the Moonlight, Demons Attack

"Sixth Rank, Fourth Level..."

Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief; after a week of cultivation, he had finally broken through.

"My innate spiritual power is still a bit low. If I had the physique of a child of light, I would probably be at the seventh level by now."

Su Zhe was somewhat troubled. Putting everything else aside, the landlord's strength had surpassed his own.

As a sacred dragon, the Landlord possesses extremely high talent, comparable to the Son of Light. If it weren't for the slow growth rate of dragons, he would probably be at the seventh rank by now.

It should be noted that the last holy dragon that evolved after consuming the Sun and Moon Divine Snail ruled the Holy Demon Continent for nearly a thousand years.

Su Zhe shook his head. It was too difficult to improve one's innate spiritual power. Unless one obtained the inheritance of Electrolux, one could only rely on a divine object like the Light Elemental Furnace.

However, the Light Elemental Furnace is extremely rare, and Su Zhe can only wait five years to obtain it.

Without further thought, Su Zhe left the room, preparing to continue his mission in the demon region.

The gate of the southeastern fortress.

"Moonlight Merchant Guild is recruiting guards; those of rank three or above will be given priority!"

As the shouts rang out, Su Zhe's mind began to stir.

Moonlit Merchant Guild?

As far as Su Zhe knew, the Moonlit Merchant Guild was one of the largest independent merchant groups on the continent, and it also had a background with the Moon Demon Clan. If he joined it, he would probably be able to complete his mission more smoothly.

With that in mind, Su Zhe stepped forward to sign up.

Do you accept sixth-tier knights?

Upon hearing this, the recruitment manager turned around excitedly. Being able to recruit someone to the sixth rank would significantly boost the combat power of the entire caravan.

The manager looked at Su Zhe and was momentarily surprised by his youthful appearance.

"You... are you at the sixth rank?"

Su Zhe sighed helplessly. Being young did have its disadvantages, and he also had to prove his cultivation level.

Under Su Zhe's suppression, a pair of two- or three-meter-long spirit wings unfolded, drawing gasps of surprise.

The manager was overjoyed. "Come with me. Our merchant guild needs a strong person like you. The reward is negotiable."

Su Zhe wasn't interested in the reward promised by the steward. After confirming the departure time, he returned to his residence.

Three days later, Su Zhe rode in the Moonlit Merchant Guild's carriage to the Central Province of the Demon Realm.

The Cave of Fear and Howl is there.

Located on the north side of the central area, it requires venturing 2,300 miles into the demon territory. This is all the information Su Zhe knows.

Whether we can find it or not depends on fate.

Before long, the merchant caravan entered the demon territory.

The manager made a special trip to find Su Zhe.

"Brother Su, you're the strongest in the caravan. The carriage in front of you is the one managed by our merchant group. If you encounter any danger, you just need to protect the first carriage," the steward flattered.

Su Zhe was in the second carriage.

After saying this, the manager whispered, "If it's a minor matter, there's no need for Brother Su to take action. We wandering merchants have a rule that we cannot recruit experts above the sixth rank. We invited you here because we are afraid of any unexpected events."

Su Zhe suddenly realized, "I understand. Don't worry, manager. Even if there is danger, I will disguise myself as a rogue to provide support."

Seeing that Su Zhe was so understanding, the manager smiled kindly and then left.

Unbeknownst to Su Zhe, while he was talking to the steward, Yueye and Leng Xiao were already observing him from inside the carriage ahead.

The glint in Yueye's eyes faded, the probing magic disappeared, and then she said, "It's definitely sixth rank, but we can't tell its bone age. It's being concealed by something." Leng Xiao asked in confusion, "This guy looks very young. What's such a genius doing in our merchant guild?"

Although Leng Xiao is brainless, she still knows some common sense. A genius like Su Zhe would not join the wandering merchants for no reason.

"They probably want to use our merchant corps to enter the heart of the demon realm," Moonlight said softly.

Upon hearing this, Leng Xiao became anxious, "Then Sister Yue, why did you let him in? What if he caused us trouble?"

Yueye nodded helplessly at Leng Xiao's head, "It's nothing more than a mutually beneficial relationship. I agreed to let him join precisely because of his age."

Yueye analyzed, "A genius like him usually has many hidden cards, and he might even have protectors around him. With him around, we are actually safer."

After hearing Yueye's words, Leng Xiao finally understood and exclaimed admiringly, "Sister Yueye, you are so smart!"

He waved his hand in the moonlight, about to say something, when suddenly his expression changed.

"Notify them to prepare, a demon army is approaching!"

Leng Xiao was shocked and hurriedly went out to inform others. Yue Ye also left the carriage, looking solemnly into the distance.

Su Zhe noticed the commotion ahead and watched as a girl in red darted out. He then turned his gaze to Yueye, who was dressed in white.

The girl wore a white dress, simple and elegant, just like her gentle, pure, and even somewhat holy face.

She has a straight, delicate nose, and her most distinctive feature is her pair of dark eyes, which seem slightly out of place with her overall demeanor.

Su Zhe knew that it was because Yueye had concealed the characteristics of his Moon Demon Clan.

"As expected of the famous beauty of Shenyin, she looks much prettier than Cai'er who hasn't even developed yet."

Su Zhe clicked his tongue in disapproval, but he also understood that the other party's sudden appearance must indicate a problem.

Rushing to Yueye's side, Su Zhe also sensed the mixed aura of the demon race.

"There is the aura of a mad demon and a savage demon, as well as a two-headed demonic eagle."

Hearing Su Zhe's words, Yueye glanced sideways, "Young Master Su has good perception; it is indeed these three races."

Su Zhe was speechless. It wasn't that he had sharp perception; it was just that he had killed quite a few of these three types of demons, which was why he could distinguish them so quickly.

"No need for formalities, young master. Just call me Su Zhe, young lady," Su Zhe said.

"Since things happened so suddenly, I won't stand on ceremony. Su Zhe, I'll have to trouble you to protect me from now on," Yueye said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, miss."

Su Zhe took out his spear, and a look of surprise appeared in Yueye's eyes. It was a Brilliant-level weapon. It seemed that Su Zhe was indeed of extraordinary origin, just as she had expected.

Yueye felt a little more at ease; with Su Zhe around, at least her safety was more assured.

The caravan reacted quickly, with over two hundred carriages forming a circle to prepare to deal with the demons from all directions.

More than five hundred guards dressed in full magical gear appeared to protect the carriage.

One by one, the men holding scrolls stood behind the guard, waiting for the moon to give the order to unleash the magic.

Su Zhe's expression was solemn. The demons were truly cold-blooded. Not long ago, the Beast Demon and the Mad Demon had a great battle, and so many of their people died. Yet now they were still able to join forces.

Moreover, it wasn't just these two clans that were attacking the Moonlit Merchant Guild; there were also the two-headed demonic vulture of the Xichang clan and the double-bladed demon of the Zelin clan.

Su Zhe licked his lips. He was worried about how to complete his killing mission, but unexpectedly, all the people who came were his mission targets.

At this moment, Leng Xiao, dressed in red, also rushed back to Yueye's side, her dashing aura causing Su Zhe to take notice.

Leng Xiao nodded kindly to Su Zhe. In her opinion, anyone who stood on Yueye's side was a good person, even if she was a demon and the other party was a human.
