Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 419: Snow Clan and their Enemies.
Chapter 419: 419: Snow Clan and their Enemies.
With the final arrangement of the Hidden Tan Clan together with Clan Master Xue Yi, things that had been planned were immediately arranged by Xue Yi after returning to the main mansion that day. Though it took three days of preparations, Clan Master Xue Yi had done it as planned. Not only was everyone from the Snow Clan summoned, but even those who all wanted to destroy the Snow Clan had arrived as well. They had lots of enemies, and most of them used to be humble clans and sects who were bullied by Xue Lengya while he was still alive.
The territory of the Snow Clan is large, and a lot of other clans and sects in the northern region covet it. However, those clans who can be considered on the same level as the Snow Clan in the same region are only one, and that is the Du (Poison) Sect, a demonic group that kidnaps people to work on their poison and all.
At the Snow Clan’s main mansion...
All those who needed to gather had all arrived. This includes the enemies led by the Poison Sect, who hated the Snow Clan the most. At the gathering hall, the Snow Clan and the enemies were split into two factions. It can be easily noticed how the numbers between the two factions differ from one another. It can be said that the Snow Clan had too few members compared to the collective numbers of people who hated them. Elder Shi Man was the one leading the group from the outside. This old man looks like bones and skin with a hint of green skin, maybe because of poison accumulation in his body. He is at the Jindan realm, mid-stage.
There are some hidden Yuanying cultivators within the crowd behind him, and these include the two old men who fought against Xue Yi and Tang Huangyu at that time. However, the news about the Hidden Tan Clan’s return hadn’t spread by then. Not because they didn’t want to, but because they couldn’t. Every time they tried to mention the Hidden Tan Clan, there was a sudden coldness lingering in their hearts. Once the word Hidden Tan Clan was said, it would trigger the cold poison injected in their hearts, and they would die with a frozen heart.
If not for this reason, their lives being at risk, the news about the Hidden Tan Clan’s return would have leaked to the whole northern region. This is Tan Bingyu’s secret move. She had controlled the water and the air and sneaked an attack while they were fighting against her grandfather and granduncle. Cold poison is a vicious kind of poison that steals one’s body temperature until they weaken and turn into ice in the end. Though it can be halted by one’s qi, it’s deadly and can either be taken away by the one who placed it in them or burned away.
But since the cold poison was injected into their hearts, unless it’s phoenix flames that can purify instead of just burning, the only way to remove it is for Tan Bingyu to do so. That’s why these two old men had once again come to this place.
Seeing the Snow Clan gathered together with their enemies had terrified them. Even though almost all of the six elders of the Snow Clan had reached the Yuanying realm, it came with a backlash. They will only be at an early stage in the Yuanying realm for their whole lives until the day they die. Among the Snow Clan members are Xue Yi’s wife, Xue Yaya, and his son, Xue Lang. Both were frowning at seeing Xue Shuyi and Tang Yuyi at this gathering, followed by three people who were covered from head to toe.
Xue Yaya frowned and said, "Why are these two in the main palace? Just what the hell is your father thinking?"
"Mother, don’t you think that Shu’er had informed Dad about the arranged marriage I’ve passed to her from you? The one from the Du Clan."
"So what if she knew? The other elders had agreed to sacrifice her for the sake of the Snow Clan. Even if your father doesn’t agree to sell out his illegitimate daughter, the pressure from the other elders is not simple. He will have to agree whether he likes it or not," Xue Yaya said.
Xue Lang said, "Mother, I don’t think that is Shu’er’s fault, though."
"On whose side are you truly on, son? Are you going to abandon this mother of yours? If we don’t get the antidote from the Du Clan, I will perish!" Xue Yaya said.
Xue Lang frowned. "We should have told Father about your poison and thought of another way without sacrificing my sister."
"She is not your sister! Why would an illegitimate daughter of your father be considered as your sister? She is not a member of our family!" Xue Yaya said as she suddenly started coughing as if the poison spread more inside her body.
Cough. Cough!
Xue Yaya was glaring at them, while Xue Lang’s expression upon seeing his sister was quite distorted, as if he was guilty of something. But he could not help but feel helpless in his current situation. The arm that supports his mother slightly strengthens, which startles Xue Yaya.
"Mother, calm down. Eat the antidote I gathered for you. It might not cure you, but at least ease the pain. I promise you I will get back the real one from the Poison Sect," said Xue Lang.
Clan Master Xue Yi had heard the conversation between his wife and his son. Though he was angry that they were treating Xue Shuyi in such a way, he had never expected that the reason for his son’s actions against his sister was to save his poisoned mother. Xue Yi couldn’t help but glare at the Poison Sect.
The elder from the Du Sect, Shi Man, who received such a glare from the clan leader of the Snow Clan, looked calm and entertained.
He said, "Why is the Snow Clan’s Clan Master glaring at this old man? Did I kill your wife or something? By the way, I came here to pick up my bride, your daughter, Xue Shuyi. As long as you give her to me, the Poison Sect will leave and no longer pressure your Snow Clan."
"You damn dreams!" shouted Clan Master Xue Yi in anger.
The others are surprised to learn that the old man from the poison sect wanted to take away the precious daughter of the current clan master of the Xue Clan.
Hahaha~
"Then I guess you do not want your wife anymore. I had someone poison her with a unique poison of the mind, and the antidote was something only I could create. Haha!" said old man Shi Man.
Clan Master Xue Yi was about to explode in anger when he heard his grandniece’s voice in his mind. Tan Bingyu used voice transmission to speak with his granduncle.
Tan Bingyu said, "Granduncle, don’t worry about the poison in your wife. My father’s phoenix flame can purify all kinds of poison. Create an opportunity for me to be near them. I can turn them all into ice.}
{Alright! I will leave it to you, Bing’er.}
But before Clan Master Xue Yi could speak, his wife had spoken first. She said, "Xue Shuyi! I do not need the antidote. However, you can’t watch the Snow Clan be destroyed, right? Go and marry Elder Shi Man, even if it’s only for the sake of our Snow Clan!"
"Yaya, I didn’t allow you to spit such nonsense!!" The aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator comes out of Clan Master Xue Yi’s body.
Even though his ailments hadn’t been cured, his grandniece had helped him seal it and allowed him to break through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm due to the accumulation of qi in his body as he entered seclusion from before. Whether they were from the Snow Clan or the enemies that had gathered today, they were stunned.
The two old men, Yuanying cultivators from yesterday, said,
"Mid-stage Yuanying Realm!"
"Since when did he gain such strength?"
"He is just an early-stage Nascent Soul before!"
"Was he hiding his strength?"
"Impossible! When we fought yesterday, I felt he was only at the early stage of Yuanying!"
"Just what the hell is happening?"
"Is it because of the child?"
"Is it possible for her to help the others break through?"
"Those who aren’t blood-related cannot. But the Snow Clan is different; their bloodline is purer due to intermarriage, and their main element is ice."
"Are we still going to make a move now?"
"Not yet! Those from the Hidden Tan Clan are here. Let the Du Sect suffer from it first."
The two old men were talking through voice transmission, and no one else had heard them. Everyone was looking at Xue Shuyi, who was standing beside Tang Yuyi. Her voice resounds in the hall, saying,
"Alright! I agreed to get married to Du Sect!" Xue Shuyi’s voice rang, but the one who had walked over was her daughter, Tan Bingyu.
Clan Master Xue Yi said, "Shu’er, stop for this old man! Do not come to that side!" He was stopped by his wife and the other elders.
Everyone didn’t expect Xue Shuyi to agree. This made the other elders from the Snow Clan guilty. But they also didn’t stop Xue Shuyi from coming towards the Du Clan. Among the elders, only Xue Xian, who was silently staring at Xue Shuyi with a clouded gaze, spoke up when Tan Bingyu stood before Elder Shi Man.
Elder Shi Man from the Du Sect was delighted by such an event and was about to grab her new poison cauldron, but was startled by Xue Xian’s shout.
"Why are you here? If you are here, did the Moon Goddess also come? Is my grandson’s life not enough for her to take! AHHH!" Xue Xian screamed.
Everyone realized that the woman in front of Elder Shi Man was not Xue Shuyi. However, a lot of the people from this side failed to escape.
Tan Bingyu’s voice resounded in the hall, saying, "It’s already too late for you to escape." Then ice elements gathered, turning almost everyone on the side of the Snow Clan’s enemies to ice. The breeze had exposed Tan Bingyu’s real face, and it was not hard for others who knew her not to recognize her.
"Tan Bingyu!? You are still alive!"
