Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1020

Chapter 1020: Chapter 1024 East Palace Swordsman Chapter 1020: Chapter 1024 East Palace Swordsman Of course.

Because he was killing the followers of Lu Wu, Zhu Minglang had nothing to really condemn.

Given Lu Wu’s position, combined with her strength and influence, those closest to her could, with even the slightest evil intent, cause annihilation to innocent people during this period when the Ancient Yao ran rampant.

In these chaotic and dark times, one could only eradicate the problem at its roots.

…

It was already deep into the night, yet the Yuheng Fairy City remained bustling. Although it didn’t have the colorful splendor of the Xuange Country Capital, radiating an exotic romanticism, it possessed a sense of divine and celestial charm, as if no matter how time passed, it would never be eroded.

Zhu Minglang had thought that the Yuheng Star Goddess would assign him some tasks, at least to eliminate the remaining followers of Lu Wu, but she had chosen to return to the Yuheng Star Palace.

Back at the Yuhan Palace, the Yuheng Star Goddess pointed with her finger to a higher corner of the sky, then said to Zhu Minglang, “Up there is a Wasted Moon, which could be considered one of our Yuheng Star Palace’s sacred lands of pure earth. You may wander there, perhaps it will help your Little White Dragon’s Spirit Root to ascend.”

“Wasted Moon??” Zhu Minglang asked, somewhat puzzled.

“It’s probably a fragment that fell off the moon in the ancient years. Of course, it could also be a once-glorious moon that fell into this state due to some ancient cataclysm,” the Yuheng Star Goddess explained.

“So, it’s a piece of floating earth that comes from the moon?” Zhu Minglang said, surprised.

“Yes, these Divine Mountains floating above the Fairy City, they are all fragments of the moon’s earth,” the Yuheng Star Goddess nodded in response.

“What’s inside?” Zhu Minglang asked, now excited.

This piece of moon’s earth must have a significant connection to the dominating reign of the Yuheng Star Palace. Most such unyielding God Sects would possess such a “Divine Treasures Land,” and Zhu Minglang firmly believed the Wasted Moon was the Yuheng Star Palace’s Divine Treasure.

Truly favored, indeed. Just a few days of acquaintance, and she had already divulged such a precious location of Divine Treasures to him.

“Take this Guishen Perfume with you, and the rabbits up there won’t attack you,” the Yuheng Star Goddess handed Zhu Minglang a bottle of exquisite perfume.

“Oh, okay,” Zhu Minglang took it, though he mused inwardly, what was there to be afraid of with rabbits; they weren’t fierce birds or beasts.

“The full moon is coming soon. You can move about the Yuheng Star Palace, maybe find a few companions you deem suitable to go with you. Even though you are a Dragon Shepherd, you’ll still need cooperation inside the Wasted Moon,” the Yuheng Star Goddess said.

“Understood.”

…

Zhu Minglang wandered the Yuheng Star Palace for several days.

Through some inquiry, Zhu Minglang found out that the so-called Wasted Moon was actually the Divine Treasures Land of the Yuheng Star Palace, and it was accessible to anyone with the Cultivation Base of a God’s Son level.

This left Zhu Minglang somewhat disappointed.

He had thought it was a Divine Treasures Land for his use alone, so it seemed that spending the day accompanying her in the mortal world had garnered him no advantages.

He needed to wait until the full moon, which was the most optimal time to enter the Wasted Moon. Zhu Minglang didn’t like to share treasure hunting with others, so he decided to go on his own.

On the day of the full moon, all the gods, great and small from the Yuheng Star Palace, gathered at a Sky Gate Stone Place outside the Wasted Moon.

They had clearly made ample preparations, the only one clueless, Zhu Minglang, arrived amidst confusion.

“Play with mud!” Sikong Qing immediately recognized Zhu Minglang, his face filled with anger.

“Is your chin still not healed? Are you slurring your words?” Zhu Minglang chuckled.

“Who are you, and why is there not a mole of sand on your forehead?” At this moment, a male swordsman approached, frowning and staring at Zhu Minglang.

“He is the son of Meng Zun, recently arrived at the Star Palace,” Linghu Shen slowly said, coming up from behind.

“Even if he’s the son of Meng Zun, he still needs the forehead mole to be eligible to tread upon the sacred soil of the Star Palace,” the swordsman said in a very arrogant manner, his eyes filled with hostility towards Zhu Minglang.

“Do we have some sort of grudge?” Zhu Minglang asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I am the Ring Holder God, the East Palace Swordsman among the five swordsmen of the Star Palace. Any violations within and without the Yuheng Star Palace will be dealt with by me. You may choose not to have the mole, but you do not deserve to enter the Floating Moon Divine Treasures Land,” the Ring Holder God Shen Sang declared.

This Ring Holder God looked quite young, about thirty, but he had a domineering presence akin to a sixty-year-old court eunuch with the highest authority, showing a ferocious face at the slightest infraction.

“Ring Holder Shen, it was Meng Zun who arranged for Zhu Minglang to cultivate in the Floating Moon Divine Treasures Land,” Linghu Shen spoke up in support of Zhu Minglang at this moment.

“Rules are rules. Either go and have the sand mole imprinted now or get out of here,” the Ring Holder God Shen Sang’s attitude was very resolute.

Beside them, Sikong Qing revealed a smile, watching the scene with Zhu Minglang with great delight.

Zhu Minglang had not expected to encounter a fierce dog even before entering the Floating Moon Divine Treasures Land.

“Is he really the son of Meng Zun?”

“Meng Zun fell to the mortal world years ago and actually had a child; doesn’t that mean the Jade Immortal body is broken? Aspiring to reach higher Immortal realms in the future seems impossible now.”

“Without the Jade Immortal body, how can he take on the role of the God’s Head? Our God seems a bit hasty. I feel Lu Wu, the Immortal Master, should not have roamed away. These days the Star Palace has been a mess, and the five swordsmen don’t seem to regard the new God’s Head highly.”

At the Tianshi Gate, the gathered gods and God’s Descendants began to discuss fervently.

The replacement of the God’s Head is akin to a nation changing its king–a struggle among the descendants was bound to be inevitable. Furthermore, with the birth of Divine Land, several True Gods shone brightly in various places, some even threatening the North Dipper Seven Star God.

It’s like the dawn of a new era of divinities. The North Dipper Seven Stars’ position is anything but stable; even the very person Yuheng could fall from grace.

And the position of God’s Head of Yuheng Star Palace naturally concerned the fate of the entire Yuheng Star Palace. A sizeable number of gods were against Meng Bingci, and if not for Yuheng Star Goddess’s insistence, Meng Bingci would not have assumed the position of God’s Head so quickly.

Meng Bingci’s position in the Yuheng Star Palace was not secure.

But ultimately, she had the Yuheng Star Goddess backing her, and they were sisters no less.

The majority of the gods would not be foolhardy to challenge Meng Bingci directly.

But…

The arrival of Meng Bingci’s son was extremely timely.

On one hand, his arrival damaged her reputation as a Jade Immortal, letting everyone know that Meng Bingci was no longer of the Jade Immortal body and could not reach the heights of the Yuheng Star Goddess. At the same time, Zhu Minglang’s arrival provided an outlet for all the dissatisfaction and grievances within the whole Yuheng Star Palace!

Discontent with decisions made by the Yuheng Star.

Discontent with Meng Bingci becoming the God’s Head.

Discontent with the sweeping changes and rule of Meng Bingci these days–all of it could be vented upon the son of Meng Zun!
