The Moon God statue emitted a faint glow, resonating with the Moon Phase Divine Stone.
Wolf Savage’s son was taken aback, then he exclaimed with joy, “I didn’t mobilize the power of my blood and qi, it was the Moon Phase Divine Stone that flew over by itself. This statue must be an artifact of the Moon God.”
Everyone watched as the Moon Phase Divine Stone flew to the statue and attached itself to the round moon at the center of the statue, then silently melted into the statue.
It was as if the Moon Phase Divine Stone had been swallowed by the statue.
Wolf Savage’s son sensed something was wrong and quickly said, “Fang Yun, you must reveal your identity immediately for the Moon God statue to verify.”
Fang Yun had no choice but to brace himself and say, “Moon God above, Moon Guard Fang Yun pays his respects.”
A few Demon Barbarians were taken aback, looking at Fang Yun with strange eyes.
Wolf Savage’s son suddenly burst into laughter, “You’ve finally exposed yourself! The Moon Guards never refer to the Moon God in this way, but call her ‘Palace Master’, because the Moon God resides in the Osmanthus Palace. Unfortunately, you’ve been clever all your life, but you’ve been confused this time. There’s no need for the Moon God statue to verify, you’ve already proven that you’re impersonating a Moon Guard!”
Niu Shan angrily said, “It’s just a title, how can you be so sure! I don’t believe it!”
Wolf Savage’s son raised his wolf head and laughed, “Just watch, the Moon God will soon bring down divine punishment. Whether you believe it or not, it won’t change this fact! Wolf Savage Li, plans to kill the human genius Fang Yun in the First Star City! From now on, everyone who knows his Town-Nation Poem will remember my name!”
“Ah…” the Ape Demon King sighed lightly.
Many Demon Barbarians laughed. The bear from the Bear Tribe, Xiong Cang, had a faint smile on his face, but seemed to feel regret. The white-haired ape demon next to him was nervously staring at Fang Yun and the green stone disc, not knowing what to think.
Kong Delun shook his head helplessly. He had witnessed Fang Yun receiving the Moonlight Blessing from the heavens due to his poem, he could never be a Moon Guard appointed by the Moon God. Moreover, the Osmanthus Palace had different rules inside and outside, and Fang Yun didn’t even know the title “Palace Master”. The outcome was already decided.
Seeing Kong Delun shake his head, Li Fanming hurriedly said, “Brother Kong, you are from the first prominent family, isn’t there any way?”
Kong Delun helplessly said, “Even if a Semi-Saint wanted to punish Fang Yun, I could protect him, at worst… using some means, he is worth our Kong Family’s full protection. But, the Moon God is different. Unless all the Saints join hands and then go to the Osmanthus Palace to apologize, no one in the world can protect Fang Yun! Ah…”
Yan Yukong, Sun Naiyong and others held the Drinking Pearl of the River, wanting to take something out of it, but they hesitated. Because Kong Delun was right, if it was the Moon God’s divine punishment, no one could save him.
“Damn it!” Li Fanming cursed weakly, lowering his head in sorrow, not daring to look at Fang Yun.
The big rabbit’s eyes turned even redder. It slowly lowered its head, covering its eyes with its ears.
Xun Ye looked at Fang Yun’s back, a malicious smile flashed across his face, then disappeared, replaced by a look of sorrow.
“Ah…”
More than thirty Presented Scholars sighed in unison.
Niu Shan tightly gripped his axe, his knuckles turning white and his bones making a slight noise.
Fang Yun stood quietly in front of everyone, his face unchanged no matter what others said, because he felt a faint warmth from the green statue, with no sign of divine punishment.
“Crack, crack…”
The surface of the green statue suddenly cracked, and stone dust fell off, revealing a large piece of beautiful jade. The color of the jade was very peculiar, like jade, like the moon. If one glanced at it casually, one would mistake it for a full moon.
The moon-white jade disc slowly rose into the air, then gently rotated.
“Rumble…”
The jade disc was clearly turning very slowly, and there was no anomaly. But the sound was terrifyingly loud, ten times louder than thunder, and it spread instantly to the entrance of the Demon Ancestor’s Gate.
It was as if it wasn’t a jade disc, but a huge millstone of heaven and earth, only when heaven and earth rubbed against each other could such a sound be made.
What was strange was that the sound was clearly very loud, but everyone’s ears were fine. The sound was not for the ears to hear, but a loud noise that went straight into the soul.
The moon-white jade disc became brighter and brighter, finally emitting a white moonlight that fell on Fang Yun.
Fang Yun looked at the jade disc in surprise, but everyone else was looking at Fang Yun in surprise.
A strong moonlight aura suddenly burst from Fang Yun’s body, then converged into his body.
Wolf Savage’s son sensed something was wrong, the Third Prince sensed something was wrong, almost all the Demon Barbarians sensed something was wrong.
Xiong Cang couldn’t help but curse, “This damn thing doesn’t look like divine punishment at all, it looks more like a divine gift!”
Fang Yun’s eyes showed a crescent moon, but the crescent quickly changed to a full moon. In just three breaths, the crescent became a full moon.
The jade disc suddenly disappeared, and Fang Yun’s body shook slightly, as if he had been hit.
Exclamations rose and fell.
The Ape Demon King’s entire body of ape hair stood up, he said in despair, “It’s over! I’m finished! I opened the Moon God Temple, and let the Moon God’s relic escape! It’s over, it’s over…” After saying that, he looked blankly at the empty space in front of him, becoming more and more depressed.
Wolf Savage’s son couldn’t help but shout, “Where is the Moon Phase Divine Stone? My Moon Phase Divine Stone? Moon God! Moon God, if you don’t punish him, why did you take my Moon Phase Divine Stone? That was obtained by my father from the Holy Valley after much hardship! If I lose the Moon Phase Divine Stone, he will kill me! That’s our Wolf Tribe’s sacred object! It’s not an ordinary Crescent Stone or Half Moon Stone, it’s a Full Moon Stone! There are less than three in the entire Demon Realm!”
All the Presented Scholars looked at Wolf Savage’s son together. The one who was just showing off is almost crazy now, running forward quickly, searching in the Moon God Temple, not letting go of even the smallest cracks, and finally even lying on the ground with his butt up, searching carefully.
“Moon Phase Divine Stone, come out! Moon God, please give me back my Moon Phase Divine Stone, I was wrong, you are the Moon God, don’t steal my things…”
A few Presented Scholars couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that this scene was too interesting. The Moon God actually stole Wolf Savage’s son’s things, it was simply a great pleasure!
Niu Shan laughed loudly, “Hahaha, I knew my bull’s eyes wouldn’t be wrong! Whether he is the Moon Emperor now or not, let’s just call him that from now on! The Moon God has shown her divine presence, Lord Moon Emperor is not a fraud!”
Fang Yun slowly turned around, looked at the two Demon Kings, and said, “Is there any doubt about my identity?”
All the Demon Barbarians and humans were stunned, staring at Fang Yun’s eyes in shock.
Niu Shan opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at Fang Yun, his thoughts completely halted.
They were all staring at the full moon that appeared in Fang Yun’s eyes, which was almost identical to the full moon in the Moon Phase Divine Stone.
The Ape Demon King suddenly bowed his head and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty the Moon Emperor.”
Then, most of the Star Demon Barbarians bowed and said in unison, “Greetings, Your Majesty the Moon Emperor!”
Fang Yun looked at these Star Demon Barbarians with confusion. Just a moment ago, they all doubted that he was a Moon Guard, but now they were all addressing him as the Moon Emperor?
Niu Shan chuckled proudly, puffing out his chest and raising his head, “I told you that His Majesty the Moon Emperor is not a Moon Guard, but the Moon Emperor! Who doesn’t believe it? Huh? I’ll kill him!”
However, the Blood Demon Barbarians did not bow and greet him. After all, the relationship between the Moon God and the Blood Demon Barbarians was very weak. Just a moment ago, the human Presented Scholars were worried, but now it was the turn of these Demon Barbarians to worry. Fang Yun had been on the Hanlin Academy’s hit list since he was an Accomplished Scholar, which was already terrifying. Now that he had become the Moon Emperor, his future was even more limitless. Once he grew up, it would be a disaster for both the Demon and Barbarian tribes.
Bear Cang said, “Prince Wolf Li, did your Moon Phase Divine Stone end up with Fang Yun? Look at his eyes.”
“What?” The Wolf Savage Prince immediately rushed over and looked into Fang Yun’s eyes.
The Wolf Savage Prince suddenly burst into a cloud of blood mist, his eyes instantly turning blood red. His hands suddenly sprouted sharp wolf claws and he lunged at Fang Yun, shouting, “Give me back my full moon stone!”
“Hmph!” The Ape Demon King suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed the Wolf Savage Prince by the neck as if he were a small chicken, and flung him out. The Wolf Savage Prince flew out, looking like he could fly at least three miles away.
The Bear Demon King immediately moved closer, aimed at Fang Yun and made a virtual pat. A blood-colored armor attached itself to Fang Yun’s body, unbreakable by anyone below the Demon King.
The Ape Demon King and the Bear Demon King looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. The two Demon Kings knew that although the Moon God’s relic was not important, it was still the Moon God’s item. Since it was lost, the two Demon Kings would inevitably be held accountable. Now, the only one who could save them was probably Fang Yun, the Moon Emperor.
All the Demon Barbarians instinctively retreated, fearing that they would be accidentally killed by the two Demon Kings.
Xun Ye and Weng Ming also took two steps back, while the other Presented Scholars stood in place, the surprise on their faces not yet faded.
Yan Yukong sighed, “Great! Not only did the wolf cub fail to harm Fang Yun, but he also promoted him from Moon Guard to Moon Emperor, haha…”
Li Fanming laughed, “The key is that the Wolf Savage Prince originally wanted Fang Yun to offer up the Mist Butterfly, but now it’s good, Fang Yun’s Mist Butterfly is still there, and his Moon Phase Divine Stone is gone. It’s karma! When I saw him sticking his butt out looking for the Moon Phase Divine Stone, I laughed so hard that I cried.”
Many people laughed along.
“Fang Yun, did you really get the Moon Phase Divine Stone?” Kong Delun asked curiously.
Fang Yun blinked and shook his head, “No, I didn’t get anything.” He said, showing a puzzled expression. Everyone believed him after seeing this.
In fact, when the Moon God’s relic disappeared, Fang Yun felt as if something had entered his body. But neither the Book of Heaven and Earth nor the Literature Palace showed anything. He checked the Drinking Pearl of the River and found it was the same as before, with nothing extra.
However, Fang Yun found that not only had his moonlight increased, but the stars in the Literature Palace’s starry sky representing the Moon Poems had also grown a whole circle. If talent was used for comparison, it meant that the talent of those poems had increased by at least two inches, while the talent of the Nation was only four feet high.
The big rabbit hopped excitedly around Fang Yun, its large ears constantly flapping, as if congratulating Fang Yun.
The Ape Demon King suddenly said, “The Moon Guard has received the grace of the Moon God and has been promoted to the Moon Emperor. This is beyond doubt. I will personally report this to the Demon Ancestor Hall and spread it throughout the First Star City. You all leave the Moon God Temple first! All demons! Barbarians! Humans!”
The Ape Demon King’s eyes were sharp as swords, his face as cold as ice, emitting a chilling aura. All the demons, barbarians, and humans had no choice but to leave the Moon God Temple.
When the demons, barbarians, and humans left, the Ape Demon King suddenly turned his head to look at Fang Yun. The ice on his face instantly melted, revealing a full smile.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty the Moon Emperor!”
The Bear Demon King next to him also had a full smile on his face. His huge bear paw rested on his belly, looking amiable and simple, without any of the Demon King’s aura. (To be continued.)
