Chapter 987 Chapter 29: Star Lord
Those who were treated with such courtesy couldn't help but forget for a moment what they were here for.
Fortunately, all the people who came this time were serious people.
If Chang Yue had come along, I'm afraid the scene where Marshal Tianpeng teased Chang'e would have already been staged.
With the melodious music of the fairies, the atmosphere in the hall became more peaceful.
In the midst of silence, a soft light slowly rises from the depths of the palace, as if it is the incarnation of moonlight, gentle and mysterious.
The light became brighter and brighter, and gradually condensed into a human figure, which was the Lord of the Moon Palace - Taiyin Star Lord.
All the fairies stopped playing music and knelt down in obeisance towards the soft light.
The Moon Goddess slowly walked into everyone's sight. Her long silver hair that dragged on the ground was like the Milky Way, emitting a faint glow and swaying gently with her steps.
Her eyebrows and eyes were cold, like the purest ice crystals under the moonlight, and her peerless beauty looked even more holy in the soft light.
The woman was wearing a silver-white robe embroidered with intricate moon patterns. With every movement she made, the moon patterns on the robe seemed to flicker in the night sky, complementing her temperament.
"Dear guests, you have come from afar. Please come and have a chat."
The woman slowly waved her sleeves, mist suddenly rose, and then a row of banquet tables suddenly appeared in the hall.
The delicious wine and exquisite ingredients made everyone feel dizzy.
"Then I won't be polite."
Jin Chao and Shao Yu said this in unison, and then walked directly towards the food.
Li Muhan originally wanted to stop it.
But these two foodies moved too fast.
Before they knew it, they were already feasting on the food.
Shao Yu is a princess after all, so why does she eat in the same way as Xia Yue?
Li Muhan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Helpless, their own people had already started eating, and they couldn't just stand there.
So they all took their seats.
The woman sat in the main seat and raised the luminous cup slightly towards Elias.
"Welcome back, Lord of the Moon." Her voice was calm and powerful, and every word was like a carefully crafted gem, exuding a unique charm.
"Thank you for your stewardship of my territory, Lady Taiyin. Now, it's time to return it to its rightful owner, right?"
Elias smiled gently.
Taiyin Star Lord's expression remained indifferent, as if he had no emotions at all.
"I could return this place to you, but it has been corrupted by the Heart of the Earth, and this corruption is not my will."
"What do you mean?" Elias asked with a smile, but his tone was already a little unfriendly.
"You all came here to go to Heaven, but I do not need to enforce Heaven's prohibition. I did not destroy the laurel tree leading to Heaven. Therefore, I would like to make a deal with you, Lord of the Moon."
"Trade?" Elias repeated the word, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "You occupied my land, tampered with it without my permission, and now you're asking me to return it, yet you're still trying to negotiate a deal. How interesting! As expected of a creation of the Heart of Earth, you're always so arrogant."
Elias' words were pointed.
Li Muhan, who was sitting next to him, also felt that his resentment towards the Heart of the Earth World had never disappeared.
But soon, Elias regained his composure.
He smiled and asked the woman, "So, Lady Taiyin, what is it that you desire?"
"This world."
The Moon Lord didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"I want the right to reside in this world. After letting you go to the Celestial Court, our Moon Clan will no longer be able to coexist with the Celestial Court. We don't want to blend in with the mortals on Earth. We just want to live in peace in this corner. So, Moon Lord, can you generously agree to let us stay here?"
Lin Ze sneered and said, "You asked us to go to Heaven because you wanted us to stop the World Heart from corrupting the Moon. You still want to maintain peace and stability here. You don't have to pay anything at all, and you can get the approval of the Lord of this world. This is a very good calculation."
Taiyin Star Lord glanced at Lin Ze, then smiled indifferently.
"The moon doesn't have laws as powerful as yours. Even the Tara tribe has absolutely no interest in this barren land. We simply developed feelings for this land and consider it our home. You said we don't have to pay anything, but that's not true."
"If you fail, the Moon will be purged by the Celestial Court. I cannot match the power of the corrupted Celestial Court. In the end, the Celestial Court will occupy the Moon, and the Earth will fall completely under the rule of the gods. This is not what we want to see."
"I have a question." Elias said to Taiyin Xingjun.
"Why haven't you been corrupted?"
The Moon Lord raised his hand slightly, supported his chin, looked at Elias and said.
"Because I hold the Heart of Your World within me, my Lord. Unless the Moon is completely corrupted, I will still be able to maintain my composure. After all, I still have so many children to protect. I cannot lose my mind so quickly."
Li Muhan also roughly understood it.
In fact, the moon now appears peaceful.
But it is imminent.
Once the Moon's core is corrupted by Earth's World Heart.
Then the Moon God will have no chance of resisting that corrupting force, and all the creatures on the moon will become fish on the chopping board of the Heavenly Court.
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat solemn.
The fairies also stopped playing when Taiyin Star Lord raised his hand.
"Of course, you can also choose to kill me and kill everyone here." Taiyin Xingjun slowly stood up, her long dress covered with stars swaying gently.
"You brought a lot of helpers, laws, the heart of the world, and one more..." She looked at Shao Yu and frowned slightly.
"You are an unfathomable being. Even if I devour your world heart now, I cannot stop you."
Taiyin Xingjun sighed.
"But I can order my people to destroy the cinnamon tree. Of course, it might be too late. You will eventually reach the Heavenly Palace. The choice is yours."
Finally, Taiyin Xingjun stood in front of everyone's seats.
He bowed slightly.
"...But I personally ask you all to save Yuegong."
However, before anyone could answer, a hurricane suddenly blew over, and countless flames instantly enveloped the entire Moon Palace.
Under the fire, the fairies screamed and fled, and countless jade artifacts were damaged.
At this moment, a long spear suddenly stabbed into the chest of Taiyin Star Lord.
The woman changed her previous indifference, raised her hand and waved it, and there was a bang.
She raised her hand and knocked the flying spear away.
But her originally slender and graceful hands had now been burned by the flames.
"...Fire Spear."
Taiyin Star Lord frowned and looked up at the spear that was floating in the air and flashing with flames.
"Everyone, please leave quickly. The people from Heaven have arrived."
Li Muhan hadn't recognized the gun yet, but Lin Ze had already drawn out his sword with a swish.
"The Heavenly Court has sent a ruthless character. They probably don't want you to live, Star Lord."
Lin Ze smiled at the woman.
Then everyone drew their weapons and faced the flaming spear.
"Everyone, leave now. I'll have someone take you to the laurel tree. I can still hold him off for a while."
Taiyin Star Lord looked at Li Muhan and others and said.
Elias smiled and shook his head.
"Let me translate their current actions, Star Lord."
"We accept your proposal. From now on, we are allies, and they will never abandon their companions."
