Chapter 384: Sword Intent and Secrets (Part 2) | Throne Of Seal [Trans]
Throne Of Seal [Trans] - Updated on March 16, 2025
At dawn, the caravans of the Moon Night Merchant Group slowly left the Southeast Fortress, heading towards the Demon Clan territory. — –Due to instructions from the Warrior Temple, inspections along the way were much more relaxed.
Long Haochen and his companions sat in a carriage located in the center of the merchant group.
Finally, they were about to enter the Demon Clan territory again, and they were about to begin their new mission. This time, the feelings they had when entering the Demon Clan were different from before. If they were once apprehensive or excited, now they were much more calm and had a newfound confidence.
The Moon Night Merchant Group was rich and powerful. The carriage Long Haochen and the others were riding in was identical to the one Yue Ye rode in when they first entered the Demon Clan territory with the Moon Night Merchant Group.
The carriage was spacious, warm, and even had a table. Next to it was a special food cabinet filled with plenty of prepared food.
Pulling back the curtain, Long Haochen looked outside. They had set off at dawn, and now that they were outside the Southeast Fortress, the sky was gradually brightening, but the weather wasn’t very good, and the sky was hazy.
Long Haochen took out a roll of parchment map from the Eternal Melody and spread it out on the table inside the carriage.
The map was densely annotated, showing the distribution of each province within the Demon Clan, as well as the locations of the demon races and demon gods in each province. Even the official Temple Alliance might not have such a detailed map.
This map was naturally obtained by Yue Ye for Long Haochen. She made a condition that Long Haochen must not hand over this map to the Alliance officials.
Long Haochen pointed to a city in Narick Province and said, “This is the capital of Narick Province, and the base of the Harpy Demons. Our first mission will be completed here. The Moon Night Caravan should arrive at the Demon Clan border camp tonight. If everything goes smoothly, tomorrow at noon, the caravan will pass through Nado City, the capital of Narick Province, for a short rest. After the ambush on the Moon Night Caravan last time, the Moon Night Caravan is now subject to very loose inspections by the Demon Clan. We will take this opportunity to go to Nado City first and complete the task of killing five Golden Harpy Demons. Then, we will continue to follow the caravan deeper into the Demon Clan territory.”
Wang Yuanyuan said, “Captain, will our assassination of the Golden Harpy Demons after following the caravan into Nado City cause the Demon Clan of Nado City to pay attention to the caravan? According to the map, there is a demon god stationed in Nado City.”
Long Haochen nodded and said, “It is inevitable that suspicion will be aroused. However, even if suspicion is aroused, they may not dare to search the caravan. Even if they search, can they find us?” As he said this, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.
Wang Yuanyuan suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly. Smiles also appeared on the faces of the others. That’s right! It wouldn’t be easy to find Long Haochen and the others.
Why did Long Haochen dare to accept sixteen tasks, including the difficult task of hunting the 72nd Pillar Demon God? In addition to confidence in his own strength, the most important thing was that they had a life-saving means that other demon hunter groups did not have, and that was the Eternal Tower. With this place to stay, they could completely avoid the enemy’s sharp edge when encountering a strong enemy.
A faint light flashed, and a cold divine light appeared on Long Haochen’s face, “Okay, then the first step of the plan is set. I will have the people from the Moon Night Merchant Group help us determine the location of the Golden Harpy Demons. This time, in order to complete the kill in the shortest time, we must act separately. Cai’er and I will each kill a Golden Harpy Demon separately. Lin Xin, you and Han Yu will be in a group, you will be responsible for killing the Golden Harpy Demon with the Blue Flame Phoenix Spiritual Furnace, and Han Yu will meet you. Yuanyuan and Sima, you will each be responsible for a Golden Harpy Demon, and Ying’er will be responsible for meeting you.”
“Yes.” Everyone responded with a burst of agreement, their eyes filled with excitement.
After being in seclusion for nearly a year, they already had a feeling of being ready to go. They had another chance to hunt down the Demon Clan, and this time, many of them would be facing the Golden Harpy Demon, a sixth-order Demon Clan, alone. They had never dared to imagine this when they first encountered this powerful creature! But at this time, they were full of confidence.
The process of entering the Demon Clan territory was very smooth. As Long Haochen said, the treatment the Moon Night Merchant Group received after entering the Demon Clan territory was much better than in the Temple Alliance. Many demon gods already knew that Yue Ye would be the Crown Prince of the Reverse Heaven Demon Dragon Clan and the Crown Prince Consort of the Demon God Emperor’s successor. Who would dare to carefully inspect the Moon Night Merchant Group? What’s more, after the lesson of the three major demon gods mobilizing troops to plunder the Moon Night Merchant Group last time, the caravan was now unimpeded wherever it went.
This was also the reason why Long Haochen valued the Moon Night Merchant Group. With this umbrella, they could save a lot of trouble. More importantly, the Moon Night Merchant Group could also provide him with a lot of important information. It seemed that the sixteen tasks were very difficult, but with the help of the Moon Night Merchant Group, their troubles could be reduced by at least one-third, and the risk would inevitably be greatly reduced.
After successfully passing through the Demon Clan border checkpoint, the next morning, the caravan had penetrated deep into the Narick Province of the Demon Clan. As Long Haochen calculated, at noon, they arrived at Nado City, the capital of Narick Province. The caravan would also take a temporary rest here for an hour before continuing on its way.
For wandering merchants of the scale of the Moon Night Merchant Group, they would never stay in hotels during the trade process. Staying in hotels would undoubtedly greatly increase expenses and reduce efficiency. Their carriages all carried tents, and they rested wherever they went. Therefore, after entering Nado City, the main purpose was to replenish clear water and some food. At the same time, some goods brought to Nado City were traded. An hour was enough. The Moon Night Merchant Group already had people in Nado City, who had prepared everything to wait for them, which increased the caravan’s efficiency to the highest level.

Soon, the Moon Night Merchant Group stopped in Nado City. After about half a cup of tea, the caravan manager quietly came to the carriage where Long Haochen and the others were and stuffed a piece of paper in.
Long Haochen opened the paper, and inside was a simple map of Nado City, with five red dots marked on it.
Long Haochen spread out the map for his companions to carefully memorize it, and then waved his hand slightly, and everyone quietly got out of the car and went in different directions.
The manager was the person in charge of the Moon Night Merchant Group this time, and also one of Yue Ye’s most trusted people. Before coming to Nado City, Long Haochen had instructed him to investigate the location of the Golden Harpy Demons. He had also made arrangements in advance, so he was able to immediately provide Long Haochen and the others with the specific locations of the five Golden Harpy Demons after just arriving here.
The manager Yue Ye chose was originally a spy planted by the Temple Alliance in the Moon Night Merchant Group, and was also a human. Naturally, he was not afraid that he would cause any problems. Of course, he only vaguely knew the identity of Long Haochen and the others as demon hunters, and did not know which demon hunter group they were specifically.
Long Haochen and his seven companions were dressed similarly, each with a large cloak covering their entire body, wearing hats, and unable to see their appearance.
This kind of dress was not uncommon in the Demon Clan, but rather common. Because the environmental damage in the Demon Clan territory over the years has caused the wind and sand to be much greater than in the Temple Alliance territory. High-level demons like to wear this kind of large cloak when they go out. At the same time, the color of Long Haochen’s eyes naturally changed to purple, disguised as the appearance of the Moon Demon Clan.
When arranging the action, Long Haochen arranged it very cleverly, with him and Cai’er on one side, and the other three targets in the center. In this way, if a problem occurred, they could all go to the rescue as soon as possible. With the existence of the Soul Lock, they could naturally feel who was encountering a strong attack.
Long Haochen walked very fast. This was the first time everyone had acted separately. He was still somewhat worried in his heart, and he had to complete his mission as soon as possible and then go to meet his partners. This was what he and Cai’er had to do.
According to the memorized map, Long Haochen went all the way east.
Although Nado City was the capital of Narick Province, it was not very large in itself. Most of the people walking on the streets were demons. Of course, low-level demons such as ordinary Double Blade Demons were not allowed to enter the city. And these demons, seeing Long Haochen’s dress and human form, avoided them from a distance, not daring to approach at all.
The reason was very simple. Only high-level demons were human-shaped and dressed like Long Haochen. Moreover, the perception of demons was more sensitive than that of humans. Although they could not feel Long Haochen’s attributes, they could vaguely feel a trace of danger coming from him, at least subconsciously unwilling to approach him.
Soon, Long Haochen saw where his target was.
This was a somewhat simple restaurant, and the sign was already skewed. Although the Demon Clan occupied most of the God-Demon Continent, the Demon Clan was deeply influenced by humans. Especially human food, which the Demon Clan liked very much. The higher the level of demon, the more they enjoyed eating and drinking human food.
Therefore, the treatment of humans in the Demon Clan has undergone earth-shattering changes from the dark ages six thousand years ago to the present. Even humans captured from the Temple Alliance would be treated well in the Demon Clan. Of course, the prerequisite was that these humans had to submit. If a chef was caught, even the Demon Clan nobles would have to come forward to win him over.
Narick Province was located on the frontier, but it was very poor. Otherwise, the three demon gods would not have dared to send troops to attack the Moon Night Merchant Group last time. Here, even a small restaurant was only qualified to be enjoyed by powerful demons.
For example, the seemingly dilapidated small restaurant in front of him had four distinct black marks under the sign. This meant that only demons above the fourth order could enter. This was the class.
Long Haochen slowly walked into the restaurant, and his eyes swept across the small hall, and he saw his target at a glance.
A Golden Harpy Demon was sitting at the best seat in the room, eating and drinking. Four dishes, and even a pot of wine. It seemed very leisurely.
Because it was noon, there were many demons eating in the dining hall, mostly fourth-order and fifth-order demons. There was only one sixth-order Golden Harpy Demon. And its golden skin was so obvious.
