Chapter 936: Thrown Out
After all the distracting presence in the mansion had disappeared in her range of senses, she erected a barrier that prevented from entering the house. Only the Immortal Sun Emperor can enter the mansion without hindrance. The Moon Goddess only needs to block the others from entering but not Shen Jueyang. After all, if he wanted to force himself to enter the house there is no need to stop him as the house would be destroyed.
Outside the mansion where almost everyone was lying on the ground after being thrown out by the Goddess of the Moon, they felt things won’t be simple now that Yue Xuexia had arrived in the academy. This is especially true that the people of the supreme elder were all caught. Not simply caught. They were cursed by the Moon Goddess herself, the very same curse that made the Fairy Race insane with pain and fear of night. What made it worse is that they cannot even escape from the academy as their souls were restrained by the power of the Immortal Sun Emperor and anyone who had saved them would be burned to ashes by the morning sun.
Wu Zhou looked at the mansion covered in unknown formations. He tried to touch it but he was rejected. Frowning while looking at his hand that even failed to pass through the barrier, Wu Zhou didn’t know what to feel right now.
The doctors around him started moving as the suppression on them had disappeared and then looked at the minions under the supreme elder of the Black Cloud Pavilion, then finally at the scarlet crescent moon insignia on them. There is no one who didn’t know about the Crimson Blood Moon, the very trademark of the most dangerous curse in existence. Something no one can easily destroy.
The old butler of the Wu Clan’s mumbles, "The Blood Moon Curse. The only curse in the world that can be removed by no one but the caster as it’s a curse connected directly to the curse itself. Even the Ancient Moon God, Yue Xuexia’s grandfather rarely used it. She is the only person who can easily cast without care. The kind of curse that if one had overwhelmed the original caster’s realm can overturn everything, even the life of the caster himself."
"Lao Wu, what are you talking about?" Wu Zhou asked confusedly. The only thing he had realized was that this little disciple of his elder brother was connected to the Ancient Moon Clan, the Yue Family.
The old butler of the Wu Clan said, "Second Master, this young lady, I think I know how she is and that the First Master can be saved. Have you recalled that Longevity Pill the current Immortal Thunder Emperor used to parade before. He said that the thing is from his niece, but such pills can only be made by someone with high medicine, and alchemy knowledge."
"In this world, only the Divine Doctor possessed such knowledge so everyone in the Core Haven believes that the reincarnated Moon Empress is the current era’s Divine Doctor. If she is indeed the Divine Doctor then her protecting the Pill Tower is only right. After all, the place was rightfully hers as a Divine Doctor. The Pill Tower is the property of the Divine Doctor’s lineage."
"First Master’s first disciple is none other than the current era’s Divine Doctress and is most like the Moon Goddess, Empress Yue Xuexia."
The Second Master of the Wu Clan, Wu Zhou and everyone in the area who heard these words were all stunned and speechless. There is no one in the Immortal World who didn’t know that the name of the Moon Empress was Yue Xuexia. That’s how she had introduced herself when she first appeared in this world after she reincarnated and met the Immortal Star Emperor.
Yue Xuexia, this is the current name of the Moon Goddess and something everyone in this world knows about.
"The Moon Empress? You are not talking about the ex-wife of the Immortal Sun Emperor and the adored woman the Immortal Star Emperor. The one born with pure bloodline of the Ancient Yue Clan and the Regal Lei Clan who was said to be born with an Elven bloodline. That Empress of the Moon, aren’t you?" Wu Zhou asked in disbelief.
The Wu Clan’s old butler nodded his head seriously and then looked at the mansion protected by a barrier.
He said, "The First Master can be healed! This is the greatest news!"
"How long will it take for her to cure brother?" Wu Zhou asked.
The old butler responded, "That... It’s unknown but with the extent of the First Master’s body it might take a while."
"Good," said Wu Zhou as he approached the men of the supreme elder whose legs were broken by Shen Jueyang. "Lao Wu, handle the things here. Whatever she requested, give everything to her. I will be back after cleaning up things."
"As your wish, Second Master," The old butler of the Wu Clan saluted together with the other doctors.
As Wu Zhou, he left with a group dragging along a team of cultivators with broken legs. It seems that he intended to clean up the other factions in the academy. After all, right now, there is no need to curry favors with these fake- faced villains just for the sake of his elder brother’s illness. With someone in there treating his elder brother, there is no need for him to hold back. He must take back everything that was rightfully his elder brothers.
Before he could leave, Shen Jueyang appeared beside him. Seeing him and realizing who he might be, Wu Zhou greeted the person with utmost respect.
"My Lord, do you have any orders?" Wu Zhou asked.
The Immortal Sun Emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously and noticed that this man must have finally learned his identity somewhere else. But Shen Jueyang cannot bother Yue Xuexia who is busy with treating her master. So he can only accompany this group to make a mess of things to pass sometime.
Shen Jueyang said, "I had nothing to do so I will go with you to watch the fun."
Upon hearing these words, Wu Zhou only nods his head. He felt better that this senior is willing to accompany. Even if it’s only for the sake that the Wu Clan is his elder brother’s clan and that Wu Yao is the Moon Goddess’s master that this dangerous man is willing to show his presence, that is already a big favor for them. At the very least, they don’t need to be worried of getting exterminated by the enemy even if the other side had a hidden trump card.
Wu Zhou said, "Please feel free, Senior."
Before they left, the Immortal Sun Emperor glanced at the old butler, "Protect this place. If something happened to Xue’er... You don’t need to know what will happen to you."
"This old man will lay down my life to prevent people from approaching this mansion!"
The Immortal Sun Emperor nodded his head a bit and looked at the mansion and smiled slightly and whispered, "I will be back soon."
A voice from inside the mansion responded, "Okay."
Everyone was startled as they didn’t expect someone would respond. No one was on their side yet the handsome man who held a black sword smiled and turned to leave with Wu Zhou.
Shen Jueyang said, "Let’s go. I still need to return for dinner."

On the other hand, back at the Pill Tower...
An unexpected gathering is now happening at the Pill Tower. For some reason, the Leader of the Evernight Manor and the Boss of the Evergreen Garden, Lord Shi Chuan, had all come over to the tower looking for their Mistress. The Pill Tower Master Han Siyu welcomed them at the entrance.
"Brother Hei Yu and Brother Shi Chuan, it’s rare you come to the Pill Tower to visit. Would you like to join me at my office?" Han Siyu asked.
Hei Yu grinned and asked, "Lao Han, do you have some good wine and tea for Lao Shi?"
"Don’t worry, Brothers! This Su Kan had dug some nice wine and even plucked some tea leaves from Lao Li’s Old Tea Tree!" Grand Elder Su Kan said.
Hei Yu pats Grand Elder Su Kan and says, "Good. Good. Let’s go then!"
"Then let me join you for tea. I have brought some pastries to pad everyone’s stomach," said the Elf Lord Shi Chuan.
After moving to the office and spending some time with common conversation, Hei Yu and Shi Chuan finally asked where the Mistress had gone as they thought they would see the Moon Goddess at the Pill Tower.
Grand Elder Li Houye said, "You guys are looking for the Divine Doctress? She didn’t come to the tower today. Only her Lotus Children stayed here to play with the Tree Spirit baby, Yue Guishu."
"The Mistress didn’t come? Isn’t she supposed to teach you alchemy until the day of the Alchemy Battle?" Hei Yu asked.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu said, "But the Mistress says she doesn’t work on weekends and gave us two rest days to enjoy. She said that only on Monday would she come back to the tower."
"Do you know where the Princess might have gone today?" Lord Shi Chuan the elf lord asked.
Grand Elder Su Kan said, "She might have gone to the Black Cloud Academy. Yesterday, she had sent a letter to someone from the Black Cloud Academy which she had written herself. Though we don’t know why she would go there."
