With the evening sky flattering within the dark carpet above their heads, even the usually silver moon despite its crescent shape had illuminated the whole world. The moonlight glows under the starry sky. It was such a serene and gorgeous scene. However, for the fairy race, this argent moon was what made their lives akin to a nightmare. The more beautiful the moon is, the more suffering they would feel under the curse of the Blood Moon Curse.

Now that everyone has been caught. Those from the fairy race are now all on the ground groaning and rolling on the ground in pain. The people of the Hidden Tang Sect do not need to capture those from the fairy race as they cannot even stand from the pain while covered in their own blood.

Tang Yuan looked at how much suffering the fairy clan is suffering under the curse of Moon Goddess. They only know that they were cursed but to think that the curse from her would have this kind of effect that even the quasi-emperor was rendered useless.

"Just how powerful is this curse?" Tang Yuan asked.

Tang Bingyu responded, "I don’t know. I heard from an elder that it’s a curse that affects everyone under the caster’s realm. We actually don’t know how powerful the Mistress is, but it was said that even the Fairy Queen was affected by this curse."

Everyone from the Hidden Tan Sect gulps instinctively in fear as they watch the suffering fairy race on the ground. They had always thought that the beautiful moon goddess is as gentle as she looks. Who would have thought that towards her enemies she the worse there can be? Tang Yuan had forgotten how she had killed people at that Trading Star where they had first met.

Not far from them Tan Shengyu and the Thunder King, Lei Yuye, were watching the elder fairies’ reaction. It can be said that the higher the realm is the much stronger the effect of the Blood Moon Curse. Now seeing the people on the ground rolling in pain regardless of their face, show how terrifying the effect of the curse is.

Tan Shengyu asked, "This curse is too amazing! Even a quasi-emperor was affected."

"I do not think it’s that simple. You see these oldest fairy?" LeI Yuye pointed at the leader of the fairies from before. "I had a feeling that this one was already a false-emperor. A cultivator who can break through to the Emperor ’s realm only to fail. These cultivators are called False emperors. They are low tier emperor realm cultivators but would never be able to break through as they failed to become one. Despite that, they still possessed strength similar to an emperor realm cultivator, a domain but much smaller compared to a real one."

"False emperor? Is there that kind of realm?" Tan Shengyu asked.

The Thunder King said, "There is one. But such a level is a failed stage and they would stick to that level forever. Either way, these people cannot stay."

After summoning the divine lightning, the Thunder King had all but killed the fairy race and left only the Du clan who is the true enemy of the Hidden Tang Sect. Seeing how the thunder king killed all the fairies, the members of the Hidden Tang Sect were all stunned. Just a single wave of his hand was enough to take them all down.

Tan Shengyu finally realized something and asked, "Bro, have you become an emperor realm cultivator?!"

"Kid, you are not blind~," said Lei Yuye with a grin. "We should go back to the town after the children stabilized their new realms. Xue’er should be waiting for us to return."

After the Thunder King had taken his leave, the Tan Family followed after him, of course they had taken the three children who had fallen in a state of meditation after absorbing the cultivation of the enemies they had faced themselves. While the Thunder King and the children stay with the Tan Family in the hall, Lei Yuye who was watching after the children suddenly speaks up.

"Since this friend had lent a hand during the battles and defeated a quarter of the original number of quasi-emperor and half of godking cultivators, why don’t you show your face?" The thunder king said.

It seems he had noticed the presence of the two people who were helping them in secret. The Tan Family was surprised as they didn’t notice anyone’s presence just now.

Xue Renxue became guarded and said, "Is there someone else out there?"

Tan Bingyu is more practical. She spreads the sense of all water elements in the area and finds the hidden presence. After all, the living, especially humans, are made up of water. On the other hand, as if sensing what the young lady was trying to do, the two hidden individuals had come out. It was unknown how they had hidden themselves by jumping down from the sky and removing the stealth mode of the flying ship they were riding on.

"Hello~, we are not your enemies. We are... just passing by?" The lady in red robes said.

The one who appeared is an old man cultivator and a sexy lady in red robes. Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue recognized the flying ship they had jumped down from and frowned. This is the ship they had given to the grandfather and his granddaughter from before. Now that they had appeared like this before they made them think of three possibilities.

First, these two killed the old man and his granddaughter and stole the ship.

Second, the old man and his granddaughter had sold the flying ship to them for expenses money.

Lastly, these two were that old man and the little girl in disguise.

Xue Renxue thought of the first one while Tan Bingyu thought of the last option. Because of these thoughts, the expressions of this couple are gloomy as they thought of different things yet feeling familiar. The former thought that these two people are murderous who kill the weak while the latter felt that they are scammers who played with their kindness. Either way, this young couple thought of them as bad people and did not look at them as enemies.

"You killed people?!" Xue Renxue said.

"You lied to us?" Tan Bingyu said,

The two asked different questions at the same time. On the other hand, the adults didn’t seem to look at the guard in front of these two people. The Thunder King felt that they weren’t stronger than him and they didn’t seem to have any bad intentions. Moreover, he recognizes the patterns of black clouds at the edges of their robes.

’Black Cloud Academy. I do not know why his elder brother thought of backing this one. Just according to his second nephew someone from this academy had connection to his niece, the Moon Goddess which is why the Everlasting Moon Empire had placed them under their clan’s protection. Though I do not know what their connection is to my niece, at least they aren’t enemies.’ These are the thoughts of the Thunder King, Lei Yuye.

The old cultivator felt the anger in the eyes of the young couple whom he wanted to take as disciple glaring at them. He immediately panicked.

"Please don’t get angry. Even though we are intentional we only want to find disciples who are kind at heart even when meeting strangers! We didn’t mean any harm!" The old cultivator said.

The lady in red robes also felt that they had done wrong things and lowered her head, "I’m sorry for lying! But we truly didn’t mean to harm anyone. If the Du Clan had attacked us we would have made a move to save you. But who would have thought... thought you have such a powerful background. There is an emperor realm cultivator protecting you..."

She peeked at the famous Thunder King beside them. Well, he should be called Thunder Emperor now. Her master told her that this Lei Prince is now an Emperor realm cultivator adding that other one from the small courtyard and another aura that landed on them the moment they floated above that courtyard it seems that this young couple had three emperor realm cultivators backing them.

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Xu Renxue looked confused as he heard what the old man had said. He obviously couldn’t connect this old man to the grandpa they had saved before, after all the one by his side is not the little girl he remembers.

Seeing his reaction, Lei Yuye turned his head and looked at Tan Shengyu and asked, "Are you sure this isn’t your son? And that daughter is your in-law?"

"Bro, what do you mean? Bing’er is my only daughter! I only have a son-in-law and not a biological son!" Tan Shengyu retorted.

Sigh~

"That’s not what I meant..." Lei Yuye looked at Xue Shuyi and said, "You had it tough, Yatou."

"It’s alright. I’m used to it," said Xue Shuyi with a gentle smile. She is literally saying that she is used to her husband’s scattered brain intelligence.
