Jacques Province

It is one of the many provinces in the demon territory ruled by Jacques Clan.

## Description

The Jacques Province was north of the demons’ Central Province, bordering it directly. The area was inhabited by a demon clan known as Jacques Clan, providing the province’s name.

The Jacques Clan was just like the Birdy’s Kuli Clan, without a demon god amongst their ranks, and their clansmen were known as Jacques Demons. The ones in the upper ranks could be considered as powerful close-quarters fighters, but because they weren’t numerous, few would be sent to the battlefield. Generally, they remained in the Jacques Province, surrounding and protecting the Central Province.

Jacques Demons were rather low rank powerhouses, but often acted as a group. In their clan, the most powerful ones were at the eighth step, and their ranked officers mostly were at the sixth step.The Jacques Demons as a whole only numbered five or six thousand.

## Capital

**Major Jacques City -** Major Jacques City was the capital of the Jacques Province, but wasn’t very big. Just like the overwhelming majority of the demon cities, it appeared somewhat subject to destruction.

## Team Sections

Team Sections are secret bases built in demon territory by the Alliance at the cost of huge manpower, physical resources and natural resources to help the King Grade or above demon hunt squads to rest or to stock their supplies or to help them by providing intelligence or so that they can reorganize.

This isn’t discrimination toward lower ranked Demon Hunt Squads, but due to the fact that the lower ranked Demon Hunt Squads shouldn’t have to carry out extremely difficult missions. Setting up these team sections in demon territory took large amounts of manpower, physical resources and natural resources from the Alliance. Thus, the more powerful Demon Hunt Squads were naturally prioritised.

As long as a team of the king grade or above is leading them, there’s absolutely no problem for entering a commander grade Demon Hunt Squads.

The team Sections in the Major Jacques City was within the rear of a kitchen of a restaurant operated by humans.

On activation, the back of kitchen made a total change, revealing the entrance to a cave, which the thirteen people entered. After that, the entrance to the kitchen returned to its original state. To Long Haochen’s great surprise, he found that his perception was unable to scout the external world from the inside of the cave.

In other words, this cave entrance was completely screening all probing abilities. And right after entering the cave, Long Haochen noticed that its entrance, connecting the cave and the kitchen, was over one meter thick. Undoubtedly, inside was some precious special alloy very possibly reinforced with magic arrays.

In fact Jacques City wasn’t any strategic town, so since they already invested in such a big team section for this town, it was no wonder that the Demon Hunt Squads could move so freely in the demon territory.

Both sides were inlaid with some extraordinary crystals, and this place seemed to be equipped with a very good ventilation system, leading to a very relaxing atmosphere.

When heading downwards, they advanced for more than thirty meters in depth before encountering a flat surface, they continued to advance for twenty meters, and then a little room appeared. All the rooms were arranged very simply, with beds, tables and chairs in each. In total, there were roughly twenty rooms, which was enough for three Demon Hunt Squads to rest and reorganize. The only thing was that there was no one here right now, and inside was some specialized storage with large amounts of food and clean water.

## Plot

Long Haochen and his group's destination after separating from the Yu Yue Merchant group was the Jacques Province particularly it's capital city. Because one of the slaughter missions was to kill one hundred Jacques demons.

On their way to the province they chanced upon the 17th King Grade Demon Hunt Squad lead by Tian Qing who were chased by 1000 Jacques demons which includes 2 Chief of Jacques demons of the 8th step.

They tried to create a diversion to help Tian Qing's group but they had underestimated themselves and were able to kill a large amount of Jacques Demons in a short time and also completing their slaughter missions. This attracted the attention of one of the 8th step Jacques Chief but he was also killed by Long Haochen who fused with Hao Yue thus terrifying the other demons who fled from there.

Later they went to the team section in the Major Jacques City with King Grade Demon Hunt Squad to rest and reorganize and successfully ambushed a Star Demon Team of Demon Hunters Removers Squad which created chaos in the city and alerted the higher ups.

Later, despite Long Haochen's advice ,Tian Qing wanted to ambush another Demon Hunter Remover Squad and they fell into the trap of Ah'Bao.

Ah'Bao challenged Long Haochen and he accepted the challenge and fought him. Despite Long Haochen being on the peak of the 6th step and Ah'Bao being on the peak of the 8th step Long Haochen managed to suppress Ah'Bao from the beginning due to use of his Sword Intent, Sword Heart and the ancient battle techniques he learned in the Tower of Eternity.

Then in the last clash he was able to deeply wound Ah'Bao but he was equally deeply wounded. Then using the opportunity when everyone was distracted Cai'er siezed Yu Yue and forced Ah'Bao to let them go.

But just at that time Cai'er's Awakening as a God's Chosen One started so with no choice Long Haochen demanded that Ah'Bao first let his comrades and Tian Qing's group go and he and Cai'er will remain.

Then later he teleports Yu Yue to the Tower of Eternity and told an enraged Ah'Bao that Cai'er is suffering from the aftereffects of her previous attack and she need some time.

After 2 hours Cai'er completed her Awakening and was in the final process and after Ah'Bao realized that he was fooled and this was no backlash but an awakening as god's chosen one, he for the future of the demon race told the other demons to attack them despite his heartache for Yu Yue.

But Long Haochen summons Hao Yue and Hao Yue first launched Essence of Disorder and he alone fought against 4-5 demons of the 8th step and Long Haochen who had only recovered a third of the spiritual energy after his fight with Ah'Bao used his body to protect Cai'er who was in the final stages of her Awakening.

Later he protected Cai'er with his body as a shield and teleported all of them to the Tower of Eternity but he was almost on the verge of dying and even if he was healed and saved there was bound to be sequelae.

But at this time Ye Xiaolei came and healed him and we came to know that Cai'er lost her memories after that he told Cai'er everything from the beginning and Yu Yue was also listening and she felt jealous. This took three days.

After that they parted ways with Yu Yue where she gave him information on 72nd Demon God Andromalius and told him that if he had met her first she would have made him fall in love with her and then she left after that.

After that they returned to the team section in the city and decided to leave the city and attack the Andromalius who was in the Eastern Andro Province. But the city is on high alert so in order to leave the city more smoothly they attacked the seat of govt to create chaos and using the backdrop of night and chaos to leave the city.
