Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess
Chapter 866: Useless Seal
When the cultivators below saw that their seniors with Quasi-Emperor realm cultivation were being besieged by two people and even killed one of their elders, they were stunned. They were shocked that they had almost forgotten about the fact that they are currently at war against everyone. They ended up badly beaten up and some were even killed.
The fight between the Du clan, Fairy race and the Hidden Tang Clan had gotten serious and they were almost equal. Even though the outside had a higher realm, the Hidden Tang Clan had more people that could suppress the group with just their number alone. It is just that among those who are fighting for their lives, there are also those who took the situation as a chance to escape from this place.
Among these people are two elders who had betrayed the sect and not only sold the information of their own sect to the traitors who eventually made them spies from the other side. These two elders were fishing from both sides and no one would have expected from the sect that they would leave the sect at this time. They also thought that they would be able to escape this way. What they didn’t know about was that some people had already anticipated this action of theirs.
The elders had sent Xue Shuyi to handle these elders and their family. This family only had a Peak Mahayama realm cultivation as the strongest while Xue Shuyi can borrow the realm of their mistress through her blessing allowing Xue Shuyi to temporarily possess the strength of Peak Godking realm.
"Hurry and don’t be noisy! If someone notices us we are dead!"
"They are so busy fighting. How can anyone notice us? Elder is worrying for nothing."
"Shut up! Just follow. If you got left behind then you are on your own!"
Out of nowhere they’ve heard a female voice sitting at the thick branch of the closest tree out the gate they planned to cross to escape from this place. This area was covered with dark clouds slightly covering the moonlight’s shade. However, the area where the owner of the unknown voice came from had a pillar of silver light directly falling on the figure. When everyone saw who it was, they were all speechless.
In their minds, they collectively thought: ’Isn’t this the woman from the Tan Family? The one that is only at Early Mahayama realm and among the weakest within the sect. How come now they can feel a power stronger than an ordinary God King realm cultivator!?’
Xue Shuyi said, "Finally here. You are the last group to be captured by me."
By the time the clouds had flown past the moon, light spread, making them see what was hidden within the darkness they never thought would have something in it. As the moonlight fully illuminated the area, this group finally saw a few more groups in the area. They are humans whose full body was frozen from head to their necks and to prevent these people from speaking a word, even their mouths were covered in frost.
"Madam Xue, do you know what you are doing?!" A sect elder questioned in rage.
Xue Shuyi was calm as her light gray hair flowed behind her back like an argent river. She looks at them with aloof coldness as if looking at something not worthy of living.
"I do. Cleaning up pests for my brother-in-law," said Xue Shuyi as she used ice to freeze them like the rest.
The group was suddenly covered in ice before they could complain a single word and once they were fully captured like the rest Xue Shuyi lazily leaned her back on the tree trunk of the branch she was resting on.
She mumbles, "I wonder how many more of them will catch tonight."

Back to the main battlefield...
Those hidden Quasi-emperor led by an old fairy, who seems to be the leader of this group, had finally arrived once Tan Shengyu and Lei Yuye defeated the first three Quasi-emperor realm cultivators. This time there are six of them with the eldest fairy in lead seems to be in a higher realm. It felt as if he was in quasi-emperor realm yet felt even stronger. However, if you compare him to a real emperor realm cultivator he seems to be a bit too weak.
The Thunder King, Lei Yuye, doesn’t seem to be surprised by the arrival of this group. It seems he had already noticed that those first who had descended weren’t all which the Fairy Race had brought with them. Five more Quasi-emperor realm cultivators and one someone whose realm cannot be sensed by them at all had come out as the clouds in the sky had completely faded.
Lei Yuye said, "So you guys have finally come out. What is the use of hiding if you cannot even hide your auras?"
"Lei Yuye. Bring out your hidden guards. You cannot defeat us on your own," the old fairy in the lead said.
Tan Shengyu spoke, "Really? Have you forgotten what your whole race possessed collectively?"
"Disciple of the Sun Emperor, you haven’t grown yet but your mouth is already as poisonous as your master’s," exclaimed one of the fairies in the sky.
It can be said that if the Fairy race had hated the Moon Goddess because of the Blood Moon Curse she had placed in their whole race. But the Immortal Sun Emperor was the second one they hated after the Moon Goddess, as this ruthless emperor treated them like a bug and his hatred towards their Fairy Queen is also real.
Just thinking about that Sun Emperor who had returned to life and his hatred for both the Fairy Queen and the Immortal Star Emperor, it can be said that he is only the greatest enemy of Xing Xieju and Titania Ambrosia. The whole fair race hates and fears the existence of the Immortal Sun Emperor.
Tan Shengyu said, "You fear my master but you seem to have forgotten what my mistress had given your race. It’s evening and the moon is out. Do you think you can escape from this curse?"
The moment these words were spoken by Tan Shengyu without the clouds covering the moon, the Blood Moon Curse on the elders had all activated. Before coming here, they had placed some seal on this curse and their original plan was to besiege the Hidden Tang Sect before the sundown. Who would have thought that they would be injured at that small town or their ship would be thrown out by a force of an emperor. Their original arrival was at dawn and not tonight. Due to a lot of unexpected happenings, things ended this way.
As the moon brightens in the evening sky, the seals placed on the elder fairies forehead had all come out. After all, the blood moon curse of them had started to awaken. They started to panic after feeling the curse in their bodies awakening. Usually, this curse can instantly be felt as soon as the sun has gone down but because of the seal the awakening had slowed it down for a bit. If they are not in this outskirts area this seal might slow down or suppress the curse a bit to lessen the pain.
But what they didn’t know is that the caster of this curse is not in this outskirt which is closer to the Outer Haven. Due to this the effects of the curse had multiplied a lot. The seal they had placed on themselves was instantly broken, a bloody moon crest appeared on their foreheads. Then it started bleeding partnered with unimaginable pain that struck their body and souls that made them curl their bodies.
AGH~
They all fell on the ground from the sky while groaning and moaning in pain. Tan Shengyu and Lei Yuye descended near them and observed their situation. The battle below had almost been resolved. It was just when these six Quasi-emperor cultivators appeared that the other side had been energized thinking that these elders could definitely save them all. Who would have thought they would suddenly start to cry out in pain with blood strolling down their forehead? When these elder fairies fell, the other fairies started to suffer the same pain. After all, the source of their seal is the elder. Now that the original seal on them had been destroyed the curse of their whole race had blown out.
The people of the Hidden Tang Sect were watching all of the fairies crying out in pain while rolling on the ground. Their cries had felt so eerie that it made others uncomfortable.
"What the hell is happening to these fairies?"
"They are suddenly covered in blood!"
"What is that on their forehead? A crimson crest?"
"The Blood Moon Curse. This is the curse the Mistress had placed in all fairies in existence." Xue Renxue said. "I was wondering why it wouldn’t activate. So they had placed a seal on it. Did they truly think a seal would completely hold back the curse?"
"It might be able to lessen the pain. After all, the moon is always out even in the morning. It’s just stronger in the evening, making the Blood Moon Curse more potent when the sun is out. Its similar to our blessing, just a contrasting effect," said Tan Bingyu. "However, we can use this as a chance to capture them all."
Sect Master Tang Yuan nodded as he heard what his niece had said, "What are you staring at? Capture all of them now! Those who surrender can be spared. Those who don’t kill them on the spot!" This battle is now over.
