Chapter 83: The Moonlit Surrender; Ye Ling: The Authority to Command the Moon for This Generation!

"Speak, what is your objective? Does your own concealment regarding the Wolf Demon God also have something to do with you? Don't even think about hiding it."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind treating you just like your little sister, making you a prisoner and taking you to trade for some resources with the Moon Demon God Agares."

Ye Ling said indifferently, his expression detached, carrying not a single trace of emotion.

Yue Ye was indeed quite beautiful, and Ye Ling was also a normal person.

But the two of them were enemies now; how could Ye Ling choose to go soft on an enemy because of such a thing?

"It seems you know everything?" Yue Ye was surprised.

"It's not that I know everything, but that you didn't cover it up at all." Ye Ling supported his forehead: "For six thousand years, the name Yue Ye has always represented the Moon Demon Witch, the Moon Demon Clan princess of that generation; even if it isn't a name, it is a code name."

"And since you dare to use this name, it means you are fearless regarding all of this, so your identity is not simple either."

Ye Ling continued: "And do you really think you covered it up well? In the Aoding Mountain, there is a trace of the Moon Demon God's aura; if it isn't him personally, it can only be his successor, and the current Moon Demon God only has one child."

"Moreover, my teacher and I have only been in Haoyue City for three days, so where would a month come from? You probably got this estimate from that Star Demon God successor's prophecy, right? If you have any hope of going back, you can give him a bad review—that is, if you have any hope of going back at all."

Hearing this, Yue Ye sneered: "You dare to kill me? After killing me, can you withstand my father's fury?"

"I dare, but I cannot withstand it." Ye Ling smiled slightly: "However, there is someone who can."

Having said that, Long Xingyu stepped forward. Previously, Yue Ye had not paid attention to this mysterious man, merely assuming he was Ye Ling's attendant, and hadn't cared much.

But now, she understood: "The wielder of the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter, the Divine Seal Knight of Judgment and Verdict, Long Xingyu?"

"It actually turns out to be you?"

Long Xingyu looked at Yue Ye indifferently and said in a deep voice: "It is me. I don't know what you think—the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, the Moon Demon Witch—it seems the Alliance has been quite soft-hearted toward you all. It truly is nursing a tiger to bring calamity. Next, I will report to the Holy Alliance to have the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce cleared out from within the Alliance!"

Hearing this, Yue Ye's expression changed drastically: "You cannot."

"Oh? You are actually afraid?" Watching this scene, Ye Ling clicked his tongue in wonder; this woman's weak point was indeed here: "Could it be that this chamber of commerce is not something you wanted to play with yourself, but represents your father, Agares?"

"You—" Yue Ye said in a deep voice: "This time, consider it your win, I admit defeat."

"Speak, what will it take for you to stop?"

Yue Ye had softened her stance.

"Let's not talk about other things for now; first, tell us about the hidden tracks of the Wolf Demon God." Ye Ling smiled slightly: "You could have chosen not to get involved, but you ended up getting yourself implicated. I am actually quite curious, how did you come to find me?"

"I heard from Xiaoxiao that you were very peculiar, so I came to take a look out of curiosity, never expecting to fall straight into a trap." Yue Ye said in a deep voice, then condensed her power, forming a faint purple ball of light, and threw it toward Ye Ling, who caught it firmly.

"This is the Moon Demon God Spiritual Power my father gave me. Using it allows one to detect the locations of all the Demon Gods and Demon God Pillars under his command; it is enough for you to use."

"However, you must consider carefully: if you do not possess the Moon Demon God bloodline, using this power will result in a massive backlash. You cannot blame me for that."

Ye Ling laughed: "Many thanks. For your great kindness and virtue, I thank you on behalf of Haoyue City and all the surrounding towns."

"You!!!" Yue Ye was furious, then calmed herself: "When can you let me go?"

"Don't be anxious. After the Wolf Demon God is dead, I will have my teacher personally take you to the Demon Race to find your father, the Moon Demon God Agares. Perhaps we can even discuss some cooperation."

"During this time, behave yourself. I will have food sent to you. After it is over, we will talk about everything else."

If Ye Ling remembered correctly, Agares was a pure double-agent and indeed a resource that could be utilized. He himself didn't have the weight to go, but Long Xingyu did.

"Consider yourself ruthless; this time I admit defeat."

"In terms of scheming, I am not as good as you."

Yue Ye let out a breath.

"No." Ye Ling shook his head: "It's not that I am good at scheming; it's that you are too confident. You didn't use your brain at all in your actions, thinking you could accomplish everything, but you didn't know that in terms of conduct, this kind of behavior is the most fatal—it's not even as good as your good sister Leng Xiao."

Having said that, Ye Ling and Long Xingyu exchanged a glance, reinforced the restriction, and having obtained what they needed, the two of them left.

Yue Ye: "."

Yue Ye: "!!!"

At this moment, this gentle and elegant Moon Demon Clan princess could no longer hold it together. Her pretty face collapsed, her eyes filled with a trace of rage as she looked at everything before her. After a long while, she let out a long sigh: "This time, it was indeed my problem."

"Ye Ling, is it? The disciple of a Divine Seal Knight?"

"This grudge is settled; next time, you will lose to me!"

Outside the door, sensing the Moon Demon God Spiritual Power transmitted from his hand, Long Xingyu's eyes flickered: "Attack directly? Or wait a while longer?"

Long Xingyu had realized that he, a Divine Seal Knight who had spent sixty years in his cultivation history charging forward recklessly, was, in the end, not as good as his own disciple when it came to planning.

Since that was the case, rather than stubbornly forcing an operation, it was better to listen to his disciple's words—that was more practical.

He could just act as a terrifying combatant, just like he did at Yulong Pass.

A Divine Seal Knight acting as a hired hand for a mere Third Rank Peak Knight—this had never happened in history; he could be considered to have started this precedent. Ye Ling's answer was very straightforward: "Wait. Right now, the entire Haoyue City only has you as a combatant above the Seventh Rank. Even if you are a Divine Seal Knight, there is still a possibility of oversight."

"If a Wolf Demon above the Seventh Rank walks out, the casualties will be great. It is best to wait for Grandpa Chen to arrive. With a Seventh-one Pillar Demon God and his tribe, if the two of you strike together, plus the Wanshou Pass army, you could even achieve zero deaths!"

Long Xingyu nodded: "Fine."

The master and disciple discussed the details of this battle a bit more, preparing for the next step of the operation.

And just as the two of them finished their discussion, Li Xin, who was on the side, had already walked over with Chen Ying'er: "Little brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, it was simple and safe. We earned a lot this time."

"Not only did we obtain all the information within, but we also captured an offspring of a Demon God." Ye Ling laughed happily.

"A Demon God successor? You mean that girl from just now is a Demon God offspring?" Li Xin was stunned. Good heavens, a scenario that had never been imagined before.

However, thinking about everything that had happened earlier, she quickly reacted: "Wait a second, you mean she is the daughter of the Moon Demon God Agares?"

Ye Ling gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my sister, you are so smart!"

Li Xin: "."

"Haoyue City is finished."

Long Xingyu: "."

Ye Ling: "." Chen Ying'er: "???"

However, the banter between the few did not last long, because the entire Haoyue Branch Hall began to shake. Of course, it wasn't because of an earthquake, but because someone had arrived.

"Haoyue Branch Hall Master Nalan Shu, along with Haoyue Branch Hall Instructor Ye Hua, pays respects to Hall Master Xingyu. Fortunately, we did not fail the mission; the residents of Odin Town have all been relocated, without exception." Nalan Shu shouted, and Ye Hua, who had followed along, also saluted.

Long Xingyu immediately returned the salute.

"Instructor Ye Hua, long time no see." Looking at Ye Hua, Ye Ling, who was to the side, spoke up.

"Two years have passed, you are indeed different now." Ye Hua was Ye Ling's former instructor, and looking at Ye Ling now, he felt very gratified: "In the future, you will certainly be a powerful Knight. Although you are not a disciple of mine, Ye Hua, being able to have taught you is something I can boast about for a lifetime."

Ye Hua had originally been very gloomy, but he had changed significantly during the few years Ye Ling spent training at the Haoyue Branch Hall; although he still had a deadpan face, he was not as sullen as before.

"You will always be my instructor." Ye Ling saluted.

Ye Hua laughed happily; having those words was enough.

He then followed Nalan Shu to report the results of these past few days to Long Xingyu in full.

Watching them leave, Ye Ling took Li Xin and Chen Ying'er and withdrew for the time being.

"It seems that no matter where you are, you are well-liked," Chen Ying'er said, turning her head to look at Ye Ling halfway through their walk, teasing him.

"That goes without saying; otherwise, why would a Soul Saintess like you have taken a fancy to me?" Ye Ling laughed happily and very naturally ruffled Chen Ying'er's bun.

"Hateful." Chen Ying'er's pretty face flushed slightly, but she still let Ye Ling ruffle her hair.

Li Xin, standing to the side, watched this scene with wide eyes; she always felt it was very strange, but she couldn't say where it was strange.

Inside the deep pit beneath the Aoding Mountain.

At this moment, countless Wolf Demons were howling there. Three days, three whole days! They hadn't been out for three whole days. There wasn't much food in the deep cave, and they were completely feast-or-famine; the eyes of countless Wolf Demons had already become crazed.

They were dying to go out and slaughter everything, but they were completely suppressed by the Wolf Demon God, who would not let them out.

"Lord Wolf Demon God? Still can't go out?"

"Lord Wolf Demon God, many Wolf Demons have already starved to death, or even turned to cannibalism and devoured each other; can we still not go out now?"

"Lord Wolf Demon God, we, we can't take it anymore!"

In the deep cave, several Seventh Rank Wolf Demon Lords with yellow fur looked toward the position of the Wolf Demon God, a trace of resentment appearing in the depths of their eyes, wanting to go out to hunt.

The Wolf Demon God could rely on the Demon God Pillar to replenish everything for himself, but they could not, because the Wolf Demon God didn't even care whether they lived or died.

It had been like this from the past until now.

Now, they even had thoughts of forcing his hand.

But the Wolf Demon God Ami was even more ferocious. Hearing these words, he ferociously extended his arm and thrust it forward instantly. One of the Seventh Rank Wolf Demons was pierced through the heart, its Magic Crystal fell into Ami's hand, and it died instantly.

"Dare to say one more word, and this will be your price," Ami said in a deep voice: "This is a matter that the Moon Demon God's offspring, the noble Moon Demon Witch, came to warn about personally!"

"As the Moon Demon Witch, could she be tricking me, a Seventy-First Pillar Wolf Demon God?"

"This Demon God is the most loyal believer of the Moon! I am the most loyal believer of the moon; since that is the case, how could the moon abandon me?!"

The Wolf Demon God was extremely crazed; he had reached the peak of reverence for the Moon Demon God Agares! Outside the Aoding Mountain, at this moment, the Wanshou Pass army was pressing down on the border, surrounding the entire Aoding Mountain.

A full thirty-thousand-strong army, among which were over twenty thousand powerful Summoners, were all keeping watch at this moment, their Spiritual Power constantly gathering, countless summoning magics ready to be unleashed, preparing to act.

And at the very front of the battle line were Ye Ling, wearing a suit of armor, Long Xingyu, and the Soul Temple Hall Master Chen Hongyu.

Originally, Ye Ling was not qualified to stand at the very front, but Long Xingyu overruled all objections, letting him come to the main position of the war to decide everything here.

"It's about time." Looking at the very calm Aoding Mountain below, Ye Ling knew that it would soon be in shambles, with blood flowing like a river.

Only, the blood flowing like a river here would not be human blood! It would be the blood of Wolf Demons, of the Demon Race! It would be the enemies of humanity, not the compatriots of humanity!

"Ye Ling, are you sure you want to be the one to trigger the Moon Demon God's Spiritual Power?"

"Although you have the ability to counter it, you are after all only at the Third Rank Peak, and this pressure will not be small."

Long Xingyu looked at Ye Ling and asked with concern.

Ye Ling laughed out loud: "Teacher, rest assured. If it were the true Moon Demon God Pillar, with my current cultivation, I wouldn't dare to operate it even if I had a million guts. But it is merely less than one-millionth of the power of the Moon Demon God Pillar, a tiny bit of authority; I still have a certain degree of confidence."

As soon as his voice fell, he raised his head slightly, and the Moon Demon God Spiritual Power appeared in his hand just like that, then slowly flew up, that dazzling purple light constantly flashing above the horizon.

It was already early morning, but a gorgeous moon appeared in the sky.

It increased in size at a geometric rate, and an incomparable ancient pressure suddenly erupted. That huge purple moon became the cross-section of a giant pillar; purple light descended, and the giant pillar arrived.

On that giant pillar, there were countless moonbeams; every moon pattern was different—there were full moons, waxing crescents, and waning crescents—but all of them rippled with a hazy, moonlit radiance.

The moment this heaven-toppling giant pillar descended, the space seemed to have completely solidified.

That!! That was the Second Pillar Moon Demon God Pillar, only this projection had no offensive power.

But it possessed a certain prestige of the Moon Demon God Pillar; appearing in this place, it caused everything within a radius of tens of thousands of miles to tremble for it.

And in the middle of this Demon God Pillar phantom was Ye Ling; at this moment, Ye Ling was flashing with a dazzling lunar radiance.

With purple hair and golden eyes, countless moonbeams rippled across Ye Ling's body, and a strange purple light also emerged from the Six-Winged Angel behind him.

That endlessly vast moonlight rushed into Ye Ling's body, seemingly intending to swallow him whole.

If it were any other Third Rank existence, they would likely be in real trouble this time.

But unfortunately for it, there was a freak inside Ye Ling.

"Although the Demon Race is this old man's blood enemy, I have to admit that this so-called Demon God Pillar is indeed profound."

"But this is only a phantom. If you want to play with the moon in front of this old man, you'd better have the main body come over to have the qualifications."

The Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove inside Ye Ling was constantly laughing.

And Ye Ling looked toward the Aoding Mountain, his expression holy, his pupils surrounded by gold and purple, constantly flashing with a strange radiance.

"I, Ye Ling! Today, I wield the authority of the moon!"
