A barbarian horse threw its hooves around, raising a lot of dust, and shouted angrily, "Don't say 'old man', we are scholars now. Do you understand what a scholar means? If you keep swearing, I will kill you!"
"The Moon God followers are all equal, demons and barbarians!" Demon General Bear glared at Ma Manhou.
A group of barbarian soldiers and generals just stared at the side, not daring to interrupt.
There were three marquis-level demon barbarians and ten general-level demon barbarians present, all of whom were loyal believers of the Moon God.
"Control your anger, everyone!" said a Bull Barbarian Lord slowly.
Most of the monsters suppressed their anger, but Ma Manhou and Lang Manhou looked at Niu Manhou with disdain.
"Niu Shan, we know that you are quite famous among the barbarian lords of the Nuzhi tribe, but don't forget that you have just been promoted to a barbarian lord. You don't have the trust of the Nuzhi King, who only gave you 500 soldiers! Both of us have thousands of men!" said Ma Manhou.
Niu Shan showed a harmless smile and said, "I am just talking, Old Niu. My qualifications are much less than yours, so I will not compete with you. However, we must make it clear in advance that whoever becomes the high priest of the Moon God Cult in our Nuzhi Tribe must expand the cult! At least make the number of Moon God believers rank among the top ten in the Nuzhi Tribe!"
"You're sensible." said Ma Manhou.
The bear demon commander who had previously shouted that he had dreamed of the Moon God said, "The high priest of the Moon God Cult does not rely on the position of a demon, but on the favor of the Moon God! Whoever is most favored by the Moon God will be the high priest, and will be able to lead us to spread the glory of the Moon God in the Nuzhi tribe."
A wolf-headed wolf barbarian immediately stood up and said, "Of course, whoever is the strongest can be the high priest! Without claws, how can other demons believe in the Moon God?" After saying that, the wolf barbarian opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, emitting a strong demonic power.
The Bear Demon Commander stood up suddenly. He was much taller and stronger than Wolf Barbarian Marquis. He looked down at Wolf Barbarian Marquis and said, "If a Barbarian King comes, should we all worship him as the high priest?"
"Why not? If the Barbarian King joins, our Moon God Cult will surely grow stronger. Let him be the high priest. It will be most beneficial to the Moon God!" Wolf Barbarian Marquis said with his head raised.
"Oh? Even if the Barbarian King doesn't believe in the Moon God at all?" asked the Bear Demon Commander.
Lang Manhou was stunned and said, "Of course we have to believe in the Moon God."
"Is the Moon God Palace ranked according to the demon position, or according to the Moon God's glory?" Xiong Yaoshuai seemed silly, but at this moment, there was a cunning light in his eyes.
Langman Hou was speechless.
Niu Shan happily watched these monsters fighting for the position of high priest. He didn't care at all and just occasionally chatted with the dog monster Shuai Quanxi beside him.
"The Moon God Palace is the Moon God Palace, and the Moon God Cult is the Moon God Cult. Don't get them confused, you little bear!" Ma Manhou stepped closer.
The bear demon commander immediately stood upright and landed on his four paws. He smiled and said, "We are all scholars, don't be angry, we should fight with words instead of fists."
"Look at your bear-like appearance, and you are a scholar. Why don't you say you are a bear boy?"
"I really want to take the exam, but unfortunately they won't let me sign up." Xiong Yaoshuai said aggrievedly.
“Hahahaha…” all the monsters burst into laughter.
"Ahem, let's get down to business!"
Thousands of demons and barbarians began to shout and fight for the position of the Moon God Cult High Priest, and demons and barbarians kept proposing ways to compete. Some said they would rely on their demon status, some said they would rely on the glory of the Moon God. Some said they would compete in actual combat, and even more bizarrely, an ape-man said he would compete in poetry, but he was scolded by other demons and barbarians and couldn't even raise his head.
"Do you think your ancestors' surname is Fang?"
"You're still competing in poetry, why don't you compete in music, chess, calligraphy and painting? The way you're doing it is like playing the lute to a cow!"
"Wait until you can perform war poems as naturally as Fang Xusheng, then come and brag about it."
Niu Shan was unhappy and said, "Can you please not bring up our cattle tribe when you scold the apes?"
"Forget it, just bear with it. We the rat clan are even more miserable." The rat demon commander who spoke had a haggard look on his face.
“Niu Shan, didn’t you say you knew Fang Xusheng when you came here? Why don’t you brag about it now?” A handsome wolf said with a grin.
"I was just joking. King Nuzhi hates Jingguo so much, how could I possibly know Jingguo Xusheng?" Niu Shan said with a smile.
"Niu Shan, you are also a barbarian marquis, why don't you fight for the position of high priest?"
"Those two barbarian marquises have served the human race for many years. I have just joined and will not fight for it." Niu Shan said with a smile.
"That's a pity..."
The demons and barbarians continued to fight for the position of high priest, and the discussion lasted until night but there was no conclusion.
"Then fight! All the demon leaders are defeated!" said Wolf Barbarian Hou.
"What time is it now? The Caoman are about to march south, and the ten nations are preparing to fight. The Nuzhi tribe will definitely be the vanguard. If we fight now, the Nuzhi king will have to whip us! You must know the power of the iron whip in the Nuzhi palace!"
"Ah? That means we can only be more brilliant than the Moon Goddess?"
"Of course. We are from the Moon God Sect, so we are naturally ranked according to the Moon God Palace's ranking!"
The monsters argued for a while, and finally had to agree to rank them according to the amount of Moon Goddess's radiance.
The bear demon commander chuckled and said proudly: "Although the Moon Citizens have the lowest status in the Moon God Palace, they are the orthodox of the Moon God Palace. Apart from the Moon God Palace, it is extremely difficult to accumulate enough Moon God's glory! Let me show you how good I am!"
The bear demon commander let out a low roar and silently recited the Moon Goddess prayer in his heart. In the dark night, faint starlight could be seen floating in his hair, loose, disordered and unsteady.
"Once the Moon Goddess' light spreads throughout my body, I will be able to become a Moon Soldier, rare in the world!" The Bear Demon Commander was very proud.
Some monsters were secretly amazed. Even though there were thousands of monsters who believed in the Moon God, there were less than a hundred monsters with the Moon God's glory on them, and only a dozen or so could be considered Moon people.
Most of the monsters and barbarians lost their will to fight for it, but Marquis Ma Man chuckled and said, "How dare a mere Moon Citizen compete with me for the position of High Priest?" He then silently prayed in his heart.
First, starlight identical to that of the bear demon commander appeared on his body, but it quickly merged, and finally, except for the horse's head, his entire body was surrounded by a thin film of light.
The bear demon commander was extremely frustrated and said, "So you are going to be a moon soldier soon. No wonder you dare to be the high priest! The Moon Goddess Guanghui will not make a wrong choice. I will not fight for the high priest. But, can you give me a deacon position?"
"We are all the people of the Moon God. As long as I become the high priest, I will naturally make you my deacon!"
"Thank you, my lord!" said the bear demon commander.
The Wolf Barbarian Marquis grinned and said, "You have forgotten one thing. We, the Wolf Clan and the Fox Clan, are the favorites of the Moon God. We, the Wolf Clan, can not only absorb power from Sirius, but also from the Moon. This Marquis has believed in the Moon God for ten generations!"
After Lang Manhou finished speaking, his body was instantly surrounded by a thin film of light.
"So you are already a Moon Soldier!" Ma Manhou said gritting his teeth.
Xiong Yaoshuai said: "So, the high priest of the Moon God Cult is Lord Wolf?"
Quan Xi snorted coldly and said, "Can a mere Moon Soldier be a high priest?"
"You..." Lang Manhou was about to get angry when he saw a strong moonlight erupting from Quan Xi's body. Finally, a half-inch thick moonlight enveloped his entire body.
"Moon General!"
Many monsters were stunned. A Yuehua of this level was either created by the Wenwang family or was a messenger from the Moon Palace. How could this seemingly ordinary dog monster be the Moon General
Quan Xi said disdainfully: "Niu Shan has just as much moonlight on him as I do!"
"Oh?" The monsters looked curiously at Niu Manhou, who was cheerful all day long.
Niu Shan reached out and touched his horns. He smiled and said, "Quan Xi and I didn't know how to pray to the Moon God before. Today is our first time trying. If the Moonlight is too little, please don't laugh at me."
After Niu Shan finished speaking, he recited the Moon Goddess prayer in his heart.
After the recitation, there was no change on Niu Shan's body, and there was no trace of moonlight.
Niu Shan was stunned, and Quan Xi was also stunned.
The demon barbarians looked at each other and laughed loudly. The bear demon leader laughed so hard that he pounded the ground with both palms, causing the ground to collapse continuously.
"Hahaha… "
"Killing me!"
"I held it in for so long and didn't even fart! I laughed to tears."
Niu Shan's eyes flashed with shame and anger. He was a star demon barbarian. Although he could not use the Moon Goddess prayer in the Holy Ruins, he had believed in the Moon God for generations, otherwise he would not have followed Fang Yun so wholeheartedly.
The monsters were laughing, but suddenly it was as if their throats were pinched by invisible hands. They could no longer laugh and all looked at Niu Shan.
A column of moonlight descended from the sky. Its diameter was ten feet, covering Niu Mountain and driving away all the monsters and barbarians around it.
The oldest sheep barbarian said tremblingly: "This... This is the moonlight from heaven, a gift from the Moon God..."
Afterwards, everyone saw a set of armor made of moonlight descending from the moonlight column and finally attached to Niu Shan, giving Niu Shan an extra layer of powerful protection out of thin air and doubling his strength.
While being covered by the Moonlight Armor, it triggered the evil spirit of the demon lord in Niu Shan's body, and silver flames erupted from his body, full of powerful power.
“This… this is the Moon Guard! It’s the Moon Guard armor! Quick, quick! Kneel down and worship the Moon Guard!” The Wolf Barbarian Lord knelt down with a plop. The other demon barbarians had never seen such a scene before. They were so scared that their legs and feet went weak and they knelt down in a hurry.
“This… the aura of this demon can already break through the Fourth Demon Marquis Plain in the demon world. He is a real Four Original Demon Marquis. I am only Three Original…” Ma Manhou was terrified. He didn’t expect that Niu Shan had been hiding his strength.
Niu Shan looked down at his Moon Guard armor and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After careful thought, he guessed that it would be difficult for him to become a Moon Guard. It was most likely related to Fang Yun that led to the blessing of the Moon God and his promotion to Moon Guard.
Quan Xi shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to the high priest!"
“Greetings to the High Priest…” Some demons and barbarians bowed down one after another.
At the same time, a large number of monsters were attracted by the moonlight from the sky, and soon tens of thousands of monsters were surrounded.
These monsters and barbarians talked about the Moon Goddess in low voices, and most of them showed envy.
A divine manifestation is something that happens only once in a century.
Niu Shan was about to test the power of the Moon Guard Armor, but something suddenly occurred to him, and he roared with the power of his blood and qi: "I am Niu Shan, the Barbarian Marquis. As a Moon Guard, I have received a mission from the Moon Palace to rebuild the Moon God Cult in Shengyuan Continent, assist the Moon Emperor, and unite with the human race to conquer the demon world!"
Quan Xi's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood Niu Shan's intention, and he shouted loudly: "Follow the Moon Guards, rebuild the Divine Religion, assist the Moon Emperor, and conquer the demon world together! What are you still standing there for? Shout quickly!"
"Ah? Ah! Follow the Moon Guards and rebuild the religion..."
Thousands of demons roared in unison.
Niu Shan nodded with satisfaction. (To be continued...)
