The Advancing Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader

Royal Palace.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader stood in the courtyard, not moving an inch all night.

Zixuan sat on the courtyard corridor behind him, her expression unpredictable, her gaze deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern what she was thinking.

The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, relentlessly pouring out endless light and heat.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky. "If Heaven decrees my death, what should I do?"

Zixuan did not answer, but merely looked up at the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader.

Because she didn't know how to answer, nor what to do. Although there were subtle differences between the two worlds, Zixuan firmly believed that the Heavenly Court, capable of suppressing the heroes of the Six Realms, must possess overwhelming military power to do so. This was inevitable and necessary.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader is very strong, even strong enough to rival Zixuan, and can be considered a god among mortals.

But a god on earth is ultimately just a god on earth.

Unless the group admin intervenes!

only.

Zixuan sighed softly. The group leader had already said yesterday that he wouldn't take action, and naturally he wouldn't.

Therefore, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader can only rely on himself now. But how difficult is it for him to fight against the Heavenly Court with his own strength?

"Godfather, you were looking for me?"

Just as Zixuan was lost in thought, Zhao Ling'er walked in from outside. Today she was dressed in the magnificent attire of Nanzhao, similar to the Miao ethnic style, and it was covered with various kinds of exquisite silver ornaments, which added a touch of nobility to Zhao Ling'er.

The sorrow on the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's face vanished instantly, and he smiled, "Linger has arrived."

Zhao Ling'er stepped forward, glanced at the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, and then looked at Zixuan, whose expression was not good, not far away, feeling a little strange.

What happened?

She smiled and said, "Good morning, Sister Zixuan."

Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Good morning, Linger."

Although they hadn't spent much time together, Zixuan was very fond of Zhao Ling'er. This was not only because of their similar personalities, but also because of their subtle relationship and their shared identity as Nuwa Descendant.

Since ancient times, the Nuwa Descendant, though mother and daughter, were destined not to have a long-lasting relationship.

Before a new Nuwa Descendant grows up, the previous generation of Nuwa Descendant is destined to die tragically. Therefore, the encounter between two Nuwa Descendant who have grown up together is something that Zixuan could not have imagined before, and it is also a wonderful journey that she has never experienced before.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Linger, have you been diligently cultivating lately?"

Zhao Ling'er: "Yes, Linger is diligently practicing the techniques taught by her master every day."

She paused, slightly embarrassed, two rosy blushes appearing on her pretty face. "It just feels so difficult to cultivate. Humph, my master is so irresponsible; he only taught me for a day and then disappeared."

As Zhao Ling'er spoke of this, she couldn't help but think of how Li Hao had tricked her into believing that the ordinary longsword made in Nanzhao was his personal sword.

Her delicate little face pouted, and she cursed her master inwardly for being heartless.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader rarely saw Zhao Ling'er acting like a little girl, and couldn't help but laugh.

He said, "Immortal Master is a capable person, and naturally has many things to attend to. How could he stay here with you for long? However, as long as Linger cultivates diligently, she will naturally be able to see Immortal Master again in the future."

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader paused slightly and asked, "Where is the sword that the immortal master gifted to you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling'er immediately pouted and huffed in dissatisfaction, "Master is so mean! He tricked me into thinking it was just an ordinary longsword from Nanzhao that I would carry with me. Even if he lied, he should at least remove the mark left by Nanzhao. He couldn't even put in the effort to lie properly! How awful!"

As Zhao Ling'er spoke, she showed her cute little tiger teeth, looking fierce as if she would definitely bite Li Hao twice if he appeared here.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader and Zixuan couldn't help but laugh.

They knew how terrifying Li Hao's cultivation was, especially after witnessing the earth-shattering sword strike from the Ju-On World, they no longer doubted Li Hao's cultivation level.

Although the sword was just an ordinary longsword from Nanzhao, they believed that Li Hao would not throw an ordinary longsword to Linger, and they instructed her not to use it without permission.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader said, "Immortal Master did not lie to you; it's just that your current cultivation level is too weak to comprehend its mysteries. From today onward, you must never let go of your longsword, carrying it with you at all times, to experience its profound mysteries."

Zhao Ling'er was somewhat puzzled and surprised.

If it were anyone else, she naturally wouldn't have believed it so easily. But now that even the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader had said so, Zhao Ling'er was somewhat inclined to believe it.

Could it be that my master, that scoundrel, really wasn't lying to me?

Curious, Zhao Ling'er replied, "Yes, Linger understands."

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader said, "Go, and don't let the Immortal's kindness go to waste. Remember to keep the Immortal's sword with you."

Zhao Ling'er nodded slightly, then turned and left.

As Zhao Ling'er's figure disappeared, Zixuan asked, "Are you worried that the Heavenly Court might take action against Linger?"

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader had a gloomy look in his eyes. "If what you say is true, they will not only attack me, but they will also definitely attack Linger and Nanzhao."

I have made many mistakes Moon Worshipper my life, but now I have finally found my future goal and have the opportunity to realize my ideals. Therefore, this time I will not back down, nor can I back down.

Since the Heavenly Court wants war, I will fight them to the very end.

"Ding! Special regional-level quest triggered: A Glorious Era, Everyone is Like a Dragon!"

Humanity has long suffered under the Heavenly Court. Now, Inhuman, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, has come to understand the destiny of humankind and the hardships of humanity. He wishes to emulate the ancient goddess Nuwa and usher in an unprecedented glorious era for humankind.

Mission objective: To free the human world from the control of the Heavenly Court and lead it towards independence and autonomy.

Task Rewards: Nuwa's Origin, Three Sovereigns' Positions, 10,000 Points.

First quest activated: Slay the celestial god who has infiltrated Nanzhao in public, declare war on the Heavenly Court Gods, and proclaim the indomitable will of humanity.

Task reward: 3,000 points.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader looked at the mission reward, and his pupils immediately shrank to a point, his heart filled with both surprise and joy.

He was delighted by the incredibly generous new quest, but surprised by its level.

A mission at the prefecture level is obviously not going to be accomplished so easily.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader hesitated for a moment, then said, "I entrust Linger's matter to Miss Zixuan. If the situation becomes unfavorable, I would appreciate it if Miss Zixuan could escort Linger to the group leader."

Zixuan was somewhat taken aback.

She hesitated and asked, "You?"

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "The war has begun, Moon Worshipper Cult can no longer run away."

Upon hearing this, Zixuan's pupils constricted slightly.

He wants to take the initiative!

When the Great Song Dynasty delegation entered the city, it was impossible for them to meet the Witch King immediately.

They were taken to the state guesthouse of Nanzhao for temporary accommodation. As for meeting the Witch King, they would need several days of preparation, which was an essential part of the ceremony.

Inside the state guesthouse.

The old man squinted slightly, gazing at the orderly street outside, his expression somewhat complicated.

Education, politics, and people's livelihood— the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader was truly a man of great talent and ambition.

What a pity, what a pity.

The Heavenly Court cannot tolerate such a remarkable person!

"My lord, two celestial beings have invited you to come over," Daoyan said respectfully.

"Um."

The old man's pupils constricted slightly, and he calmly replied.

Another room.

The two celestial beings appeared young, like handsome young men in their early twenties. They wore official robes of the Great Song to conceal their presence, and their expressions were arrogant and aloof.

One of them had a glint of fire occasionally flashing in his eyes, like a raging flame.

An icy blue light occasionally flashed in the other person's eyes, as if it could freeze everything in the world.

"Kunlun Tianxu pays respects to the two celestial deities." The old man entered the room and bowed to the two.

"Alright, when are we going to capture the demon Moon Worshipper?" the young man with fire in his eyes said impatiently.

"We have descended to the mortal realm by the decree of the Fengtian Emperor to eradicate the Moon Worshipper Demon who is wreaking havoc on the world. Now that we have entered Nanzhao, we should act as quickly as possible to fulfill the Heavenly Emperor's orders," said the man with ice-blue eyes.

"Exactly, I don't want to stay in the human world any longer. This place is disgusting," the man with fiery red eyes complained.

Tianxu lowered his head, a faint mockery flashing in his eyes.

A wicked man who wreaks havoc on the world!?

I think you're the ones who're the monsters!

Tianxu: "Although we have entered Nanzhao, it is not yet time for us to pay our respects to the King of Nanzhao. If we act now, there will inevitably be oversights, and it may even provoke resistance from the people of Nanzhao. The best opportunity for us to act is to have the Witch King clear our name and expose the villainous face of the Moon Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader who has wreaked havoc on the world."

"Hmph, he's just a mere Moon Worshipper. Do you think we're no match for him?"

"When have we gods ever had to consider the opinions of these ants?"

The two celestial beings were very dissatisfied with Tianxu's words, especially when they heard that they should act according to the Witch King's plan, they almost exploded.

Tianxu sneered inwardly, but still had to continue, "The Moon Worshipper is known as the strongest in Nanzhao, and his strength is extraordinary. He may not be able to defeat us, but if he is determined to escape, are the two Heavenly Gods confident that they can stop him?"

Upon hearing this, the two fell silent.

According to the information they received, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader had roughly the strength of the Nascent Soul realm, which was similar to their level.

Everyone's cultivation level is about the same, so it would be a lie to say that I have complete confidence.

But they are gods; how could they possibly admit that lowly humans are stronger than them?

Tianxu Dao, "These two days are a good opportunity for us to have the Witch King cooperate and set a trap in the palace to lure the Moon Worshipper. No matter how powerful the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, he would never expect that we would set a trap in the palace."

"In this way, we can easily capture the demon Moon Worshipper in just two days."

"What a hassle."

The two muttered something, clearly dissatisfied, but did not object further, obviously agreeing with Tianxu's opinion.

The man with fiery red eyes paused for a moment, then snorted angrily, "Hmph, once I capture that Moon Worshipper Demon, I'll make him wish he were dead."

"Bang bang bang."

Just as they were talking, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Come in."

The two gods frowned and said with displeasure.

Daoyan entered the room, looking somewhat nervous. "Reporting to the two Heavenly Gods, something seems amiss. A large contingent of troops has suddenly appeared outside the state guesthouse, and even several nearby blocks have been sealed off."

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's going on?
