"Let's go in and ask quickly." Bei Suting quickened her pace and headed towards the Starry Sky Hall.

A True God Realm layer eight expert was considered a powerful figure here. However, True God Realm experts were not as rare here as they were in the Lost Continent. Here, they were plentiful. Only those True God Realm experts with backing, like Mu Luhan, were truly awe-inspiring. Ordinary True God Realm cultivators, unless they entered the Human Immortal Realm, still needed to keep a low profile.

The Starry Sky Wharf Hotel was already packed, and the rooms were all full. Bei Suting and her group arrived late and could only find a place to rest in the lobby on the first floor, where they could also inquire about Mo Wuji's whereabouts.

After arriving here, they didn't even need to actively inquire. Nearly ninety percent of the cultivators were discussing the life-and-death duel with only one day left.

"That Mo Wuji is really... Sigh, I don't even know what to say about him. Is it easy to get on the Starry Sky Rankings? He's going to lose his life so soon. He's still young and his blood is too hot..." A man with a goatee said, shaking his head.

"How do you know that Yan Yangdong will definitely win? Since it's a life-and-death duel, there will be life and death. No one can say for sure who will win."

"You don't understand. That Yan Yangdong is a genius from the Star Emperor Mountain. He killed a Void God Realm layer one cultivator when he was only in the True Lake Realm layer four. No matter how strong Mo Wuji is, can he kill a Void God Realm cultivator?"

"Mo Wuji also injured Law Enforcer Huang's hand bone. That Law Enforcer Huang is at least Void God Realm layer two, right?"

While they were still discussing, a thin man in black robes suddenly walked up to the group. The cultivators who were discussing Mo Wuji and Yan Yangdong's duel immediately stopped talking and looked at the approaching man in confusion.

Besides being thin, the black-clad man seemed like a sword, radiating a sharp killing aura. On his back, he carried a sheathless sword. His long hair was tied back, and a red ribbon was tied around his right wrist.

"Did you just say that Mo Wuji attacked the law enforcers? And injured a Void God Realm law enforcer's hand bone?" The black-clad man's tone was very low.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. When the law enforcer attacked him, he didn't hesitate to fight back and even took out his spiritual weapon." Seeming to sense that the thin man was not to be trifled with, one of the cultivators immediately replied.

The thin man nodded and turned to the man with the goatee, "Your opinion is not right, but you said one thing well. Young, blood must be hot."

After saying this, the thin man turned and left, quickly disappearing from the noisy lobby.

"Who is that guy? He looks so arrogant..." After the thin man left, one of the cultivators said. He stopped halfway when he saw the goatee's pale face and asked in confusion, "Brother Ju, do you know that guy?"

The man with the goatee slowly exhaled and said, "I believe you've all heard of him. He has another nickname, 'Lone Traveler Red Knot'..."

Everyone gasped. There were few who hadn't heard of Lone Traveler Red Knot. His cultivation was said to be not high, not even reaching the Void God Realm. But he was extremely crazy. He once killed for a whole month under the siege of Starry Sky Beasts and finally broke out of a bloody path.

If someone encountered him and couldn't kill him immediately, they were likely to be killed by Lone Traveler Red Knot. Because this person's resilience was too strong, so strong that it seemed like he couldn't be killed.

The craziest thing was that he accepted a mission at the Starry Sky Wharf to find a Void Stink Fruit. As a result, he lay motionless on the periphery of a level seven Starry Sky Beast for a full year and three months, caught the Starry Sky Beast's departure gap, and took away a Void Stink Fruit.

One thing that set him apart from others was that he always wore a red ribbon knot on his right wrist, no matter when or where.

"This person looks like a woman, I wonder if he has disguised himself."

"Maybe she is a woman, and she has taken a fancy to Mo Wuji?"

"Don't talk nonsense, or you won't know how you died. Although Mo Wuji has become very famous recently, he is far behind Lone Traveler Red Knot."

"Mo Wuji already has a lover, that widow of the Chu family, tsk tsk, so tender that water can drip out..."

……

Bei Suting, who was not far away, frowned slightly. She wondered if she was overthinking things. The Mo Wuji in her eyes would never get involved with a widow. He could trade his life for a maid's life and go through hardships to come to the Five Elements Desolate Domain from a small place like Chengyu Lord's Country with an ordinary body. How could an ordinary person do this? If he was dazed by a widow, how could he have such a strong will?

She subconsciously glanced at Yan'er, whose face was calm, without any abnormality.

Bei Suting sighed secretly and stood up, "Let's go and find a place to stay first."

She was still a little worried about Cen Shuyin. She didn't know how Cen Shuyin was doing now and hadn't heard any news. Facing the powerful Xia family of Star Emperor Mountain, even she didn't have the ability to protect herself, let alone help Cen Shuyin.

……

The Starry Sky Hall was already out of lodging, and after searching for a long time, the four finally found a relatively remote small inn. They were able to stay at this small inn because Bei Suting was a True God Realm expert. Otherwise, even this small inn would not have been available.

The original plan was to have one room per person. Due to the shortage of rooms, Bei Suting and Yan'er could only share a room, and Gou Zihan and Feng Luojian shared a room.

"Sister Suting, do you have something to talk to me about?" After arriving in the room, Yan'er asked softly.

Bei Suting shook her head and sighed, "Originally, I did have something I wanted to say to you, but now I don't think it matters whether I say it or not. Let everything take its course. In a while, we may have to separate. Yan'er, your aptitude is no weaker than mine. You must cultivate hard and strive to enter the Human Immortal Realm. Without entering the Human Immortal Realm, you can never speak for yourself."

"Yes." Yan'er replied respectfully.

……

Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Mo Wuji had been cultivating the Star Shift Technique in his room. In fact, he had cultivated the Star Shift Technique to the fourth layer, Qiankun Reversal. However, this fourth layer was much more complicated than the previous layers of the Transfer Character Formula. He had cultivated to the fourth layer, but it didn't mean that he could use it proficiently every time.

A few days was indeed too short for Mo Wuji.

Opening the door, Mo Wuji saw that Chu Qianlou and the others were already waiting for him.

"Where's Zihan?" Mo Wuji didn't see Zihan, who had always been by Chu Qianlou's side, and immediately asked.

Chu Qianlou shook her head and said in a somewhat depressed tone, "She wants to retreat and cultivate, let her go."

"Brother Mo, can you lend me some contribution points?" Rong He suddenly said, her face turning red as she spoke, seeming very embarrassed. They were staying here using Mo Wuji's Starry Sky contribution points, and now she was asking Mo Wuji to borrow points, which was simply too much.

Mo Wuji looked at Rong He in confusion. He knew that Rong He would definitely not ask him to borrow contribution points if there was nothing special.

Pang Qi quickly said, "It's like this, the Starry Sky Hall is opening betting pools everywhere, betting on the outcome of you and Yan Yangdong's fight. The biggest odds are one to three."

Mo Wuji asked in surprise, "Brother Pang, are you saying that if I win, there will be three times the compensation?"

He had clearly injured the hand bone of a Void God Realm layer two cultivator, but he was still so underestimated. This was too exaggerated.

Chu Qianlou said, "Wuji, in fact, these odds are very conservative. If you hadn't been on the Starry Sky Rankings and hadn't injured that Law Enforcer Huang, maybe it wouldn't be one to three, but one to thirty."

"Then if I also bet contribution points, if I win, will these contribution points be counted in the Starry Sky Rankings ranking points?" Mo Wuji asked quickly.

His main purpose here was to farm points.

Chu Qianlou shook her head and said, "No, the valid contribution points for the Starry Sky Rankings are the contribution points obtained in the first place. This contribution points includes fighting in the starry sky, accepting tasks in the task hall, and other contribution points. Contribution points after participating in transactions can only be used purely for transactions and are not counted in the Starry Sky Rankings."

Mo Wuji took out the Starry Sky card a little disappointed and handed it to Rong He, saying, "Take as much as you need."

Rong He quickly said, "I only need three thousand contribution points."

"Then use the extra to bet on me winning. It's not bad to get some contribution points to use." Mo Wuji waved his hand and said.

……

The Starry Sky Hall had two major fighting venues, one was the Starry Sky Hall Duel Arena, and the other was the Starry Sky Hall Challenge Arena.

When Mo Wuji and his party arrived at the Duel Arena, it was already crowded with all kinds of cultivators. Fortunately, Mo Wuji was a contestant, so he could enter the Duel Arena through another passage. Otherwise, it would be difficult to squeeze to the front of the Duel Arena.

As soon as Mo Wuji arrived, he saw Yan Yangdong slowly step onto the Duel Stage, standing in the middle of the Duel Stage with his hands behind his back, looking calm, as if he didn't take this duel seriously at all.

There was no referee for the duel, because there was no need for a referee at all. There was only a responsible cultivator who called out the names at the edge of the Duel Stage. After Yan Yangdong stood on the stage, the cultivator immediately shouted loudly, "Star Cloud Hall disciple of Star Emperor Mountain, Yan Yangdong, enters the Life-and-Death Stage!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted, almost tearing the Life-and-Death Duel Arena apart.

"Wait for me in front of the stage, I'm going up." Mo Wuji turned around and said to Chu Qianlou and the others.

"Be careful." Chu Qianlou and the others all knew that at this time, there was no chance to withdraw even if they wanted to.

Mo Wuji nodded and slowly walked onto the Duel Stage as well.

"Mo Wuji, 9951st on the Starry Sky Rankings, enters the Life-and-Death Stage!" The name-calling cultivator shouted loudly again.
