Chapter 617 Demarcating Territory
"Tara, why should I hand over the Tree of Life? This was promised to my grandfather by the Royal Court. Now my grandfather has given his life to protect the Tree of Life, and you want to go back on your word? Is this how the Royal Court treats the descendants of heroes?"
“Berlen, please be mindful of your status. I am speaking to you as an elder of the Royal Court, and you must show me the utmost respect! Moreover... that World Tree seed of yours should have rightfully belonged to Saint Luna. It was Campbell who coerced the Royal Court and took what did not belong to him!”
Tara looked coldly at Beren and continued, "Now that Saint Luna is asking the Azure Moon Clan for the World Tree seed, are you going to make the entire Dawn Moon Clan and the Silver Moon Clan enemies for your own benefit?"
"When have we, the Azure Moon Clan, ever feared the Silver Moon Clan? Your actions have truly brought shame upon our Azure Moon Clan!" Beren's eyes were bloodshot as he angrily rebuked Tara.
"Enough! Beren, don't think you can criticize me just because you have some talent. If you didn't have a Tree of Life all to yourself, would you really have your current level of cultivation?"
"Tara, back then... who said I was the hope of the Azure Moon Clan, and who promised me I would succeed as the clan leader? My grandfather lost his life inexplicably in the royal city. Do you think there's no hidden story behind this? As an elder of the royal court, why don't you seek justice for our Azure Moon Clan?"
Beren's face had turned ashen. He was the most likely hope of the Cangyue Clan to become a Saint. In the past, both the Royal Court and Tara treated him with great respect. Now that Campbell had died under the World Tree, the Royal Court immediately demanded the Tree of Life from him, and Tara even put on airs. All of this was simply unbearable for him.
“Berlen, your talent may have been considered good in the past, but compared to Lord Qin Mo now, it is nothing. The royal court believes that you are no longer qualified to enjoy a Tree of Life all to yourself, and... do you really think the Cangyue Clan wants to offend four Saint-level experts from the Silver Moon Clan for a superfluous Tree of Life? Do you want to bring disaster upon the entire Cangyue Clan?”
Seeing that Beron was gradually losing his mind, Tara had no choice but to tell him the truth and no longer show him any mercy. This time, Luna directly stated that if the royal court did not keep its promise from back then, then there would be no need for the royal court to exist. Now the elves have five Saint-level powerhouses, four of whom belong to the Silver Moon Clan. They have simply started their own thing and no longer need to play with the elders of the royal court.
"The clan won't stand up for you in this matter. If you have the guts... go and challenge Lord Qin Mo!" Tara left with those last words, ignoring the grief-stricken Beren.
"Heh! You want me to challenge that mixed-blood guy? Then I'll be beaten to death by the furious Luna and Allen, and you, Tara, will really become the chieftain of the Azure Moon Clan, right?" After Tara left, Beren, who was originally red-faced and furious, immediately turned cold and said something rather self-deprecating.
Beren's father died early, and he was raised by Campbell to be the future clan leader from a young age. Moreover, his cunning and talent also qualified him to become the clan leader. However, fate was unkind. Campbell's sudden death and the strong rise of the Silver Moon Clan changed his destiny. No one would offend the four great saints of the Silver Moon Clan who were clearly supporting Qin Mo for the sake of someone who might become a saint-level expert.
The next day, Buren moved out of his small courtyard and wrote a sincere letter to the royal court, expressing his willingness to return the Tree of Life to the royal court for disposal.
On the third day, Qin Mo successfully condensed the Tree of Life back into a small sapling, preparing to transplant it to the elven settlement of Da Yuan as the tribal world tree of the Da Yuan elves.
On the fourth day, Qin Mo prepared to return to Dayuan, citing the need to transplant the Tree of Life as soon as possible.
"Qin Mo, why are you in such a hurry to go back? If you're tired of the scenery in Silvermoon City, you can come and visit our Dawn Moon City. I'm a great guide!"
When Qi Lina spoke to Qin Mo, she always smiled sincerely, making him feel incredibly comfortable. However, remembering a certain icy beauty who might appear at any moment to cause trouble, he decided to leave this troublesome place first.
"I'm in a hurry to transplant the World Tree! Actually, our Great Xia is a very nice place. You can go and have a look when you have time. I can show you around!"
"I have time!"
"Huh?...What?"
“I have time right now! Can you take me around to see the sights? It’s been so long since I’ve left my tribe to travel!” Qi Lina gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, her charming eyes, like spring water, made Qin Mo’s heart flutter.
Just as Qin Mo was about to agree, Nelia, exuding a chilling aura, walked in from outside, wearing a golden flower crown on her forehead that was exactly the same as Qilina's.
Are you setting off back to Taiyuan tomorrow?
"Oh...yes!"
"I'll go with you!" Nelia said and left without even a hint of a smile.
"Qilina, you go back first. I need to go and discuss some things with someone!"
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the docks in Cheshire. I’ve heard your steamship is amazing, and I’d like to see it.”
"Uh... okay!"
Watching the gentle yet determined figure of the beautiful woman from behind, Qin Mo helplessly covered his face. He didn't know if he had done something wrong, but thinking about it carefully, he hadn't actively provoked them! Whether it was Qi Lina or Nilia, they both seemed to have inexplicably come to his side!
