Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 1353: Dark Sky Prajna

Mystic Moon’s eyes darkened when he heard what Lin Yuan said. He glanced at the Moon Empress’ locked bedroom and felt a sense of balance.

Normally, he should tell the Moon Empress about something like this immediately, even if she was in seclusion. However, this seclusion of hers was way too important.

Before the seclusion, the Moon Empress had hidden the matter of her hidden injuries in order to bring her power to a new level. After the seclusion, the Moon Empress would become completely different, and her power would reach a peak.

If the Moon Empress was interrupted at such a moment, her distraction could aggravate her hidden injuries.

Mystic Moon balled up his fists, and every strand of silver hair on his head started to glow. It was as though they had all become druse-shaped silver horns.

Mystic Moon’s power had finally reached that point. Hence, he now had what it took to undergo the test to become a member of royalty.

Once he passed the test, he would become the 14th member of royalty in the Radiance Federation.

However, according to the rules in the Radiance Federation, it was not allowed for one member of royalty to be subordinate to another member of royalty.

Mystic Moon preferred to be the Moon Empress’ Moon Envoy over becoming the 14th member of royalty in the Radiance Federation.

Given Mystic Moon’s power, he had the right to call for an imperial meeting even if he did not have the title of a member of royalty.

Since the Moon Empress was still locked away, Mystic Moon would have to take charge of Lin Yuan’s matters. Moreover, the battle had involved pinnacle Immortal combat power, which made it serious.

“Young Lord, leave the matter of the sea clans to me. Once the Moon Empress is out, I will tell her about this matter.”

Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “Uncle Mystic, sorry to trouble you. Let me know when you need me to appear personally.”

Lin Yuan hung up the call.

Mystic Moon did not inform the other 13 members of royalty immediately and called Night Leaning Moon.

This matter involved Long Lamplight’s disciple An He and Night Leaning Moon’s disciple Liu Jie.

The thought of Long Lamplight disgusted Mystic Moon. He had never seen a person so skilled at bootlicking. Contacting Long Lamplight was no different from eating canned herring.

As for Night Leaning Moon, their grudge ran even deeper. They had stopped seeing eye to eye decades ago.

However, for the sake of Liu Jie and Lin Yuan, Mystic Moon decided to contact Night Leaning Moon before calling for an imperial meeting.

Mystic Moon immediately called the number he had saved but never called.

He wanted to ask Night Leaning Moon’s opinion about the sea clans but had no clue that Night Leaning Moon had already gone into hysterics in the royal capital.

Night Leaning Moon’s sorrow and murderous rage erupted from her and filled the imperial court with frigidity.

An elderly man seated on the chair looked at Night Leaning Moon with a pained expression and said, “Leaning Moon, only Cicada Song and I know about Xiyue. Not even Iron Prison knows about it. The Moon Empress doesn’t want us to reveal it, so we dared not tell you.”

Night Leaning Moon could not stop trembling when she heard what the elderly man said and started to chuckle bitterly. The bitter chuckle reverberated throughout the imperial court and filled it with a macabre air.

“It’s fine that Xiyue hid it from me. But all of you hid it from me too despite knowing what she means to me. Xiyue only has less than three years left! Less than three years...”

Night Leaning Moon’s voice turned hoarse at the last part. She could not imagine how someone who was so headstrong and capable of standing at the top of the world felt now that she could suddenly see the end of her life. It must be such a helpless feeling.

Although Night Leaning Moon had started guessing before she arrived, guesses were still guesses. When the truth was placed right before her eyes, she could not find it in herself to accept or believe it.

Night Leaning Moon’s chest panged.

Night Leaning Moon and Cicada Song were not from the same generation of Radiance Envoys. However, Cicada Song had been a judge that assessed Night Leaning Moon during her Radiance Envoy selection.

From that moment, Cicada Song knew that Night Leaning Moon was a very righteous person with a strong sense of justice. These were the qualities that Cicada Song admired about her.

But as Night Leaning Moon climbed the path from Radiance Envoy to becoming a member of royalty, the Spirit Guards had to carry out assignments all over the 32 major cities to handle dangerous events like dimensional rifts and sudden disasters alongside city guards.

As such, Cicada Song and Night Leaning Moon had formed the deepest of relationships out of all the members of royalty.

After spending decades together, Cicada Song knew that a strong belief lay at the root of Night Leaning Moon’s righteousness and sense of justice.

This strong belief came from the Moon Empress. Every person had two sides to them, and members of royalty were no exception.

Cicada Song could not imagine what would happen when the extreme righteousness and sense of justice that came from that strong belief exploded.

“Leaning Moon, for the sake of the Moon Empress’ lifespan, the old man even gave up the Earth Center Fine Milk. I personally delivered it to the Moon Empress. She is competing against her birth horoscope, and the Earth Center Fine Milk will be able to extend her lifespan by a year.”

Night Leaning Moon narrowed her eyes. A glimmer of light appeared in her obsidian eyes that seemed to devour starry skies.

However, she did not respond to Cicada Song.

Night Leaning Moon waved her hand, and a black gem appeared in her hand. The entire imperial court was enveloped in opaque darkness. It was as though numerous malicious facades were hidden in the darkness.

Cicada Song sighed, and he knew that he would not be able to lie to Night Leaning Moon.

Night Leaning Moon had summoned the Dark Sky Prajna because she wanted him to summon the Alleviating Wind.

But if he summoned the Alleviating Wind, everything would be exposed as he had used the Alleviating Wind’s errant winds on the Moon Empress.

Night Leaning Moon would be able to tell this with one look.

But since Night Leaning Moon’s stance was so clear, Cicada Song could not do anything but summon the Alleviating Wind.

Cicada Song took a deep breath, and a breeze swirled around him.

The wind diluted the darkness. Yet, the darkness’ aura of deadly despair intensified.

Night Leaning Moon waved her hand, and the black gem disappeared.

Her expressionless face was as pale as a sheet, and she looked no different from a walking corpse.

This was a side of Night Leaning Moon that Cicada Song had never seen before.

Since Night Leaning Moon had received her answer, she turned and left the imperial court.
