Chapter 865: The End of the Lunar Surface War

As the Dragon God vanished, everyone present, whether Lunar People or Youkai, breathed a sigh of relief. The reason was simple: when facing the Dragon God, who acted as the world's Inhibitory Force, anyone would feel a heavy pressure.

However, as Lingyun landed beside Yakumo Yukari, the people of the Moon Capital present suddenly grew tense. After all, he was a ruthless man; if the Dragon God hadn't appeared, Tsukuyomi might have perished at his hands. Although Tsukuyomi was not yet dead, he had been sealed away, and it looked like a permanent seal at that, which made their hearts turn cold.

"Youkai, this battle, we have won!" Yakumo Yukari looked at the Youkai beside her, a hint of satisfaction appearing in her eyes, but this expression was quickly suppressed by her.

As Lingyun's collaborator, she naturally knew that during this battle, Lingyun had sent many clones to strike from the shadows. Now that the vast majority of the bloodthirsty Youkai had fallen on the Lunar Surface battlefield, the resistance she would face in proposing the Gensokyo plan in the future would be much less.

Hearing Yakumo Yukari's words, the surviving Youkai present cheered in unison. Although they had suffered significant losses in this battle, and even the Dragon God had personally stated that the Moon Capital did not belong to the Youkai, they had already demonstrated the majesty of the Youkai to the legendary Moon Capital and had trampled the Moon Capital's pride into the dirt. This was already a huge victory.

On the other side, the Watatsuki sisters each gripped their weapons tightly, staring fixedly at Lingyun, who stood beside Yakumo Yukari. This person was simply too dangerous; if he were to strike, the Moon Capital would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Yagokoro Eirin landed beside the Watatsuki sisters and quietly glanced at her own camp, a hint of satisfaction also flashing in her eyes. The source of the Moon Capital's decay was the Lunar Sages. She had reached an agreement with Yakumo Yukari, leaking quite a bit of the Moon Capital's intelligence, but she had also demanded that Yakumo Yukari eliminate those corrupt Lunar Sages. Now it seemed that Yakumo Yukari's side had kept their promise. Although some Lunar Sages remained, most of them were not that corrupt, and they would not become stumbling blocks for what she wanted to do next.

With Tsukuyomi sealed, the successors to the Moon Capital were Houraisan Kaguya, Watatsuki no Yorihime, and Watatsuki no Toyohime. Houraisan Kaguya would inevitably return with Lingyun, so the position of leader of the Moon Capital fell to the Watatsuki sisters. She believed that under the leadership of these two, the Moon Capital would surely have a different future.

"People of the Moon Capital, listen. I have come to take my student back. Let Kaguya come out!" Lingyun stepped forward and said calmly to the people of the Moon Capital.

Although Lingyun's tone was very flat, the people of the Moon Capital present simultaneously felt a terrifying pressure. Facing this ruthless man who had nearly killed Tsukuyomi, everyone present felt a trace of awe in their hearts. But to just hand over the Princess of the Moon Capital like this, the people of the Moon Capital also felt a trace of unwillingness.

"Hmm?" Lingyun frowned slightly, raised his right hand, and majestic Moon Radiance gathered in his palm. "The Dragon God restricted the Youkai, but he didn't restrict me!"

Looking at the ever-expanding Moonlight Power in Lingyun's hand, the Lunar Sages present could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. They believed that if the Moon Capital did not hand over Kaguya, Lingyun would definitely strike at the Lunar People present until they agreed. And the sad thing was, none of them could stop this youth.

"Teacher!" Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared before Lingyun.

Seeing Kaguya appear, the Moon Radiance gathered in Lingyun's hand slowly dissipated.

"Well, Kaguya, in accordance with our agreement, I have come to take you back." Lingyun said with a smile.

"Wait!" Seeing Kaguya walking toward Lingyun, one Lunar Sage finally could not help but speak out.

"Hmm?" A sharp glint flashed in Lingyun's eyes, and Moon Radiance rose once again upon his body.

In this instant, the expressions of the people of the Moon Capital changed drastically; they felt that the ground beneath their feet was actually rejecting them.

"Sorry, you don't have the qualifications to bargain with me right now!" A full moon rose in Lingyun's pupils, and his voice carried a trace of coldness.

"The moon is... rejecting us, rejecting the Lunar People..." A surviving Lunar Sage's teeth were chattering.

A large part of the reason why the Moon Capital could be established on the Moon was that Tsukuyomi had used the identity of Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto to make the Moon acknowledge the Moon Capital. But who was the person before them? He was an existence capable of seizing the sovereign control of the Moon from Tsukuyomi's hands. With his ability, it was not impossible for him to make the Moon refuse to acknowledge the existence of the Moon Capital. Having lost the support of the Moon, how could the Moon Capital stand on the Moon? It could only gloomily head toward destruction.

"You, you..." The Lunar Sage looked at Lingyun, their face turning deathly pale.

"Then, Lunar People, make your choice. Do you choose to let me take Kaguya away voluntarily, or will you stop me, and let me destroy the Moon Capital before taking Kaguya away?" Amidst Lingyun's indifferent tone, what answered him was silence.

It was already inevitable that Lingyun would take Kaguya away; the only difference was whether they sent her out themselves. Feeling the Moon's rejection of them becoming increasingly severe, one Lunar Sage finally could not hold back.

She gritted her teeth, as if enduring some great humiliation: "Princess Kaguya, you... go with him!"

Kaguya looked deeply at that Lunar Sage, then her figure flashed, and she appeared before the statue of Tsukuyomi. Facing this statue, Kaguya sighed, slowly knelt down, performed three kowtows to Tsukuyomi, and then appeared beside Lingyun once again.

Looking at Kaguya beside him, Lingyun cast his gaze toward the direction of the Lunar People. The Lunar People present immediately felt the Moon's rejection of them slowly dissipate. This change made the Lunar People feel as if a fish that had left the water had returned to it, and expressions of lingering fear appeared on their faces.

Suddenly, Lingyun narrowed his eyes. He discovered a Rabbit tightly gripping a weapon, crouching on the ground and trembling. And on her body, a thread of fate was tightly connected to Kaguya.

"Could it be her?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly, reached his hand directly into the Void, and grabbed the Rabbit directly in front of him.

Seeing that she had actually appeared before the terrifying god of death she feared most, Reisen's face instantly turned deathly pale, and then her eyes rolled back, and she fainted directly.

"Am I that terrifying?" Looking at Reisen, who was leaning softly against him while still tightly gripping her weapon, Lingyun couldn't help but make a snide remark.

"Teacher, what is this?" Looking at Reisen, who was being held in Lingyun's hand, Kaguya's tone held a trace of confusion.

"You are a princess, after all; you need someone to take care of your daily life. I find this Rabbit quite pleasing to the eye, so I grabbed her along the way. Being able to serve as your Maid is, in a sense, her good fortune." Lingyun said calmly.
