Chapter 782: Bloodline Curse
With the appearance of the king realm cultivator no one dares to speak up and even mourn that the Du Clan had kicked an iron plate this time. They just have to pick a fight against someone that is beyond their skill level. The Du Clan knowing that they had thin had gone beyond them, couldn’t help but glare at them.
"Are you truly going to make a move against us?"
"We are backed by the Immortal Star Emperor!"
"Are you not afraid of offending the Immortal Star Emperor?!"
The three members of the Du Clan used their last trump card that they had been using all this time. Their connection to the Immortal Star Emperor. As expected the people in the auction hall turned silent. After all, everyone knows that the Du Clan is indeed backed by the Immortal Star Emperor. But people who knew the identity of the Moon Goddess only chuckled like how the Elf King Andromeda reacted.
Elf King Andromeda said, "Does that boy even dare to make a move on me?"
"He isn’t a great grandfather. If Xing Xieju dares to do it, this empress doesn’t mind treating him like air," the Moon Goddess said.
The members of the Du Clan were confused by this veiled woman knowing the true name of the Immortal Star Emperor and even mentioned it as if they are on the same level. The youngsters of Du Clan were confused as they couldn’t understand where the confidence of this group was coming from. Only the eldest among the three of them raised his head to look at the veiled young lady who stood before the crown with majestic aura and graceful presence. It matches the woman he had seen on the day the Soul Hall’s branch was destroyed by that exalted empress adored by the two youngest emperor realm cultivators of the Immortal World.
"Cold eyes as if devoid of emotions and that majestic presence. You!?" the Senior from the Du Clan started shaking as if he was suffering from epilepsy while looking at the moon goddess.
"Master, what is wrong with you?"
"Master, don’t listen to this bitch... AHH!!"
The young man who dares to curse at the Moon Goddess was slapped by his own master who scrambles to get closer to the Moon Goddess only to be stopped by Elf King Andromeda. The man this time didn’t act disrespect and started kowtowing without care for his own forehead bleeding.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
"This servant is wrong. I am blind for not recognizing the Goddess!"
"The Du Clan will no longer bother the Hidden Tang Sect. I will provide the antidote as well!"
"Goddess, please spare us! Please don’t tell his majesty about our rudeness. I..."
Urg~
The man held his bleeding neck in shock. He didn’t understand why the Moon Goddess still killed him despite his begging for forgiveness. Yue Xuexia looked indifferently on the corpse the man not too far from her.
"Xue’er...?" Elf King Andromeda calls as if asking her why he skilled the man.
Yue Xuexia said, "The number of Hidden Tang Sect members who died under this man’s hand is simply unforgivable. His karma was too much and it’s disgusting. The moment the Du Clan made a move on my people, mercy is the last thing I will give them."
Silence~
Everyone looked at the young woman with a terrified expression. This is the first time they had seen such a decisive and ruthless woman. However, she is right. The fight between the Hidden Tang Sect and the Du Clan had lasted for years and the dwindling numbers of the former group was larger compared to the latter. It wouldn’t be surprising for the Hidden Tang Sect to disappear forever if this continues.
The Moon Goddess controlled the blood of the man. He seems to be a direct descendant and taking control of his blood was the same as holding the lives of the Du Clan’s sect itself.
"Bloodline Tracing. Nine generation genealogy. Bloodline Curse activated. Perish!"
The moment the Moon Goddess controlled the blood elements and traced the bloodline of the dead man in front of him. The two youngsters exploded on the spot. This shows that among Du Clan’s family members they are of the direct bloodline. After the Bloodline Curse had activated, many members of the Du Clan, no matter where they are as long as they are within the nine generations of this clan, all exploded into blood without any trace of their existence remaining.
Yue Xuexia used the handkerchief that the system had given her and turned to look at Grandpa Tan and Grandma Tang.
She said, "Clean up here. After the auction, we will go back with you to check on the Hidden Tang Sect."
"Yes, Mistress!" The people of the Hidden Tang Sect all kneel before the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess said, "Great Grandfather, let’s go back to the room and wait for the auction to begin."
"Alright," said the Elf King Andromeda who let his great granddaughter held his arm as they walked back to the upper floor where the private room is.
The silence and tension in the area had been forcibly diminished by the arrival of the Dawn Star owner, Su Liyi and his father, the Clan Master of the Su Clan, Su Yin.
Clan Master Su Yin commanded his people to clean up the left behind blood and corpse of the people from the Du Clan.
He said, "Forgive the distraction within the hall. Everything will be cleaned up and the auction will now begin."
The audience knew that no one could offend the young lady and the king realm elf from before and turned blind eye to the deaths of the people from the Du Clan. However, the turmoil in their hearts, especially those clans and sects who were helping the Du Clan bully the Hidden Tang Sect, were now afraid that their sects would be destroyed as well. Just that King realm Elf King before was enough to exterminate them. There is also the fact that the young lady can kill anyone through their blood alone was frightening enough. In their minds, the ability to control blood is considered demonic.
So those who truly do not know the identity of the young lady thought that she was someone from a demonic sect. But if she is truly from the demonic sect why would the elf who is known for loving nature and hating evil would stand by her side and they seem to be family. It seems they had forgotten that it is not only the demonic sect who can control the blood element but the ancestor of the Moon Clan. He controls blood and uses Blood Moon Curse to those who they see as their enemies.
After the hall was cleaned up, the stage had suddenly turned well lit and a few ladies arrived on the stage pushing a few tables with a cloth covering what was on those tables.
"A pleasant day to all the guests. Welcome to the Trading Hall’s Centennial Auction. I hope everyone enjoys today’s items."
"Let’s see today’s first item!"
Two ladies flipped the cloth off the first table revealing a small box with transparent antler horns.
"This is an Indigo grade White Deer’s Antler whose age is at least a millennium. It is full of divine energy which could at least help a Late Mahayama Realm reach the Peak Stage!"
"It is also said to have the ability to cure all kinds of illness!"
"The starting price is 10,000 High grade Spirit Stones!"
Silence~
Everyone at the beginning waited for those at the private room to make a bid but after waiting for a while they realized that the goddess might not even be interested in the first item. Now people have started bidding for the White Deer’s Antlers.
"11,000"
"20,000"
"21,000"
"25,000"
"30,000!"
The lady on the stage noticed that the last bidding price ended in 30,000 high grade spirits stones.
"30,000 going at once."
"Going twice!"
"Going thrice!!"
The gavel in the woman’s hand finally hit in rhythm which now ended the first deal for the first item.
"The second item for today’s auction is about to be revealed!"
The second table cloth cover was flipped up revealing a millennium ginseng which was restrained by the formation. This is ginseng that gains sentience to avoid it from escaping, they can only restrain it with a formation. Now there is a young boy with plant sprouts on his head.
"Let go of me!"
"How dare you capture this old man!!?"
Everyone was amazed. How rare it is to see a ginseng that gains sentience? It even has a human form.
"This is a Millennium Snow Ginseng that our team has found. As you can see it has gained sentience. Born with a natural nature element, it is said that by eating it can bring a dying person back to life!"
"The starting bid price is 1 million high grade spirit stones!!"
