Niu Shan shouted loudly, “So, the First Star City is not ruled by the Star Demon Barbarians, but by the Blood Demon Barbarians!”
Many Star Demon Barbarians glared at Niu Shan, but when they realized that Niu Shan was also a Star Demon Barbarian, their expressions softened.
The Wolf Savage Saint Child smiled and said, “You are mistaken. It is precisely because the First Star City belongs to the Star Demon Barbarians that we cannot stand by and watch an imposter Moon Guard appear. If Fang Yun’s impersonation of the Moon Guard is exposed in the future, and the Moon God blames us, who will bear the sin when the entire First Star City is punished by the divine wrath?”
Many Star Demon Barbarians frowned. Unlike the long-lost Demon Ancestor, the Moon God had shown his divine power not long ago and absolutely did not tolerate blasphemy.
Niu Shan said, “Who knows if there is any problem with the Moon God’s relic? What if it’s not a relic of the Moon God, but something from the Moon God’s enemy, deliberately harming the Moon Emperor… No, what if it’s harming the Moon Guard?”
The Ape Demon King immediately followed up, “Saint Child, Third Prince, this little bull has a point. Although the relic is said to be a relic of the Moon God, we are not particularly clear about the specifics, after all, it’s too ancient.”
The Wolf Savage Saint Child suddenly smiled lightly, opened his hand, and a bright diamond appeared. The diamond was the size of an adult’s thumb, and inside it was a tiny full moon, emitting a faint moonlight.
This crystal-clear and beautiful diamond immediately became the focus of the entire venue.
“This…” The Demon Barbarians were greatly surprised, they didn’t expect the Wolf Savage Saint Child to have such an item.
Many Presented Scholars were puzzled, but Yan Yukong whispered, “Moon Phase God Stone! And it’s the best Full Moon Stone! If a Demon Barbarian who is compatible with moon power practices with this stone, their speed will double. Its value is no less than that of the Mist Butterfly.”
“So precious? How can it compare with the Mist Butterfly!” Jia Jing’an asked.
Ma Xiong sighed lightly, staring at the Full Moon Stone, “This Moon Phase God Stone is not only useful for the Demon Clan, but also for those of us who are proficient in the art of mechanisms. The Moon Phase God Stone is one of the best cores for many top-tier mechanical beasts. With the Moon Phase God Stone, the mechanical beast may not only have intelligence, but also requires very little talent to control, because the mechanical beast can draw power from the God Stone. The Mist Butterfly cannot be transferred to others once it recognizes its master, but this Moon Phase God Stone can be given to others. It can be exchanged for other mechanical beasts for repeated use, it can replenish power under the moonlight, and it will never be exhausted. For the descendants of our Mo Family, the value of the Moon Phase God Stone far exceeds that of the Mist Butterfly.”
Yan Yukong said, “The Mist Butterfly needs constant cultivation. Even the Mist Butterfly of the Demon Emperor is stuck at the Demon King level and cannot be promoted. Who else has so many divine objects to let the Mist Butterfly grow? But this Moon Phase God Stone is different, it can be used immediately. A Moon Phase God Stone is enough to produce an additional Demon King in a ten-thousand-people Wolf Savage tribe every five years!”
Only then did Fang Yun understand the power of the Moon Phase God Stone. A Demon King is equivalent to a Grand Academician. And Jing Kingdom, which owns four states, has a population of billions, and only produces one Grand Academician every two or three years on average, including the prominent families of Jing Kingdom.
“So that’s how it is. For the Wolf Savage, who are good at absorbing moon power, this Moon Phase God Stone is obviously more valuable than the Mist Butterfly. Of course, in the eyes of the Semi-Saints, the Mist Butterfly is still better.”
Those Demon Barbarians all greedily looked at the Moon Phase God Stone. Although other Demon Barbarians are not as good as the Wolf Clan in effectively utilizing moon power, moon power is one of the star powers, and the more the better.
The Third Prince sighed lightly, “Although my father is the Demon Emperor, he only has a half-moon Moon Phase God Stone. King Wolf Prison is indeed a long-established Semi-Saint, his foundation far surpasses my father’s.”
The Wolf Savage Saint Child smiled slightly, without a trace of arrogance. As one of the most talented sons of the Barbarian Saint Wolf Prison, he didn’t care about these people’s praises. But if he could kill Fang Yun, the most famous genius of the human race at the moment, he would be able to win the favor of the Demon Barbarian All Saints and receive praise from his father. This is what he needed.
Moreover, a terrifying genius who can write The War Poetry to drive the power of The Weak Water. If left unchecked, he will become a major problem for both the Demon Barbarian races in the future!
Niu Shan was frustrated. He didn’t expect the Wolf Savage Saint Child to have such a treasure. This thing was enough to move the heart of the Wolf Clan’s Semi-Saint. However, he was not convinced and asked, “What’s the use of you having the Moon Phase God Stone? What are you trying to prove?”
The Wolf Savage Saint Child looked at Niu Shan disdainfully and said, “The Moon Phase God Stone can only be made with the blood of the Moon God, and the Full Moon Stone not only requires a large amount of the Moon God’s blood, but also consumes the Moon God’s original power. You don’t even know this, do you?”
Niu Shan was speechless, he really didn’t know.
Fang Yun looked at the Ape Demon King, who sighed lightly and said, “Indeed, this Moon Phase God Stone is indeed made from the blood of the Moon God, and the Full Moon Stone must be refined by the Moon God himself. If we use the Moon Phase God Stone and the Moon God’s relic together to verify the Moon Guard, it is indeed the best method.”
“In that case, let’s start the verification.” The Wolf Savage Saint Child said.
Fang Yun appeared extremely calm on the surface, but his heart skipped a beat. He had never seen any Moon God, nor had he been appointed as the Moon Guard or Moon Emperor. If he were to be tested, he might be seen as offending the Moon God and be punished by divine wrath.However, Fang Yun quietly looked at the Lunar God Stone, for he felt a familiar aura from it, indescribable but definitely present.
The Savage Cow struggled helplessly, saying, “Demon King, please verify the authenticity of the Lunar God Stone first. If it is genuine, then I have nothing to say.”
Fang Yun replied, “No need to check, I believe this Lunar God Stone is real. However, if I am indeed the Lunar Guard, the Saint and the Third Prince are slandering me. Can they be judged as blaspheming the Moon God? Or, should they compensate me?”
The Wolf Savage laughed, saying, “Whether you are the Lunar Guard or not, how can it be slander? I can doubt that you are the Lunar Guard, and you can doubt that I am the Wolf Savage. It’s fair. Do you need to verify my identity? I won’t refuse.”
Fang Yun didn’t expect this guy to be so cunning and cautious, not at a disadvantage at all.
The Ape Demon King asked, “Sir Lunar Guard, are you willing to cooperate with us to verify your identity?”
Fang Yun said, “If I refuse, will you let me go?”
The Ape Demon King looked at Fang Yun without saying a word.
“Fine, take me to see the relics of the Moon God.” Fang Yun was as calm as usual.
The Ape Demon King said, “The relics of the Moon God are placed in the Moon God Temple, which has been sealed for thousands of years. To open it, we need the consent of the Demon Ancestor Temple. I will first take you to the cave where the Moon God Temple is located. When we receive the order to unseal it, I will officially take you in.” He turned and walked towards the Moon God Temple.
Fang Yun and the others followed, and the rest of the Demon Barbarians also followed.
After a few steps, the Wolf Savage chuckled softly, “Fang Yun, do you think I would fall for your tricks like a foolish scholar? Even if the chance of you being the Lunar Guard is negligible, I still won’t agree to compensate you! I know more about the Moon God than you do. In recent years, the Moon God couldn’t possibly have appointed a Lunar Guard! And your moonlight must have come from the Mid-Autumn Literary Meeting a few days ago, how could you be the real Lunar Guard! You are doomed! Fool, you’ve walked right into a trap!”
“A few days ago, I don’t know who was so foolish that they didn’t even know I was seriously ill, and got scared from a wolf into a homeless dog, running away in a hurry!” Fang Yun retorted.
A hint of regret flashed in the eyes of the Wolf Savage, and then he sneered, “I was fooled by you that day, but today I will make sure you die here!”
“I won’t die.” Fang Yun said firmly.
The Wolf Savage immediately said, “So what? Will I lose anything? I still won’t lose to you!” He finished with a triumphant smile.
The Third Prince laughed, “The Saint is right, we are still undefeated!”
The Presented Scholars were extremely angry.
“These despicable people, they slander others without any shame!”
“They are indeed beasts, they know nothing about propriety, justice, integrity, and honor.”
Sun Naiyong sighed lightly, “Although I don’t like it, I have to admit that this Wolf Savage must have studied military strategies. Sun Tzu said: ‘He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot will be victorious.’ He already knows when to fight and when not to, he has already won.”
“Is Fang Yun really the Lunar Guard?” Li Fanming was worried.
“Alas, I don’t know either. Savage Cow, besides the Lunar Guard, could Fang Yun have any other identities?” Yan Yukong asked the Savage Cow in the demon language.
The Savage Cow scratched his head, “Like you, although you have moonlight, you can only be considered ordinary soldiers under the Moon God. Above that is the Lunar General, who holds certain power, and then the Lunar Guard, who is the personal guard of the Moon God, without real power but with a very high status. Above that is the Lunar Emperor. There is at least one Lunar Emperor, and at most three, each commanding one of the three tribes of the Demon Barbarians. Above that, it should be the Semi-Saint under the Moon God.”
“Could Fang Yun be a Lunar General?” Han Shoulu asked.
The Savage Cow shook his head, “A Lunar General couldn’t possibly have that much moonlight, and there are many Lunar Generals, I’m afraid they don’t even have the qualifications to go to the Comet Corridor, let alone take us with them. Alas, I mistook the Lunar Guard for the Lunar Emperor before, but I don’t regret it. He is now a Presented Scholar and has become a Lunar Guard. When he becomes a Great Scholar, he can definitely be appointed as the Lunar Emperor!”
The Presented Scholars remained silent, praying in their hearts that Fang Yun was the Lunar Guard.
Before long, the Ape Demon King and the Bear Demon King led everyone to a huge cave. Unlike ordinary caves, this cave was decorated very luxuriously, even the door of the cave was full of beauty, carved with many scenes, which was completely different from the rough style of the Demon Clan.
“Inside is the relic left by the Moon God. It is said that the Moon God liked that stone sculpture very much, but later lost it to the Demon Ancestor for some reason, so he left the sculpture here and never came to take it. This place is sealed, you wait here for a while, I have sent someone to ask the Demon Ancestor Temple.” The Ape Demon King said.
Everyone waited not far from the Moon God Temple.
Time slowly passed, a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour…
After a full half an hour, there was still no movement. The Ape Demon King was extremely embarrassed, but he could only wait.After waiting for a while, some human soldiers and demon soldiers from the First Star City began to approach.
Upon seeing this, Fang Yun noticed that the humans were the Presented Scholars who had entered the Holy Land this time. There were nine in total, including Kong Delun, the Presented Scholar from the Kong Family. However, one of them was skulking behind the others, not daring to meet the eyes of Fang Yun and the rest. This person looked extremely unwell, with faint scars on his face.
Li Fanming laughed and shouted, “Brother Xun Ye, I knew that fortune favors the good. It seems that Brother Delun must have saved you. What good luck.”
No one found this surprising. After all, Xun Ye was a member of a Semi-Saint Prominent Family and was bound to have means to save his life, even if he had to suffer a bit.
Fang Yun smiled and looked at the newcomers. (To be continued.)
