Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 313: Apologize and Scram
The surrounding people showed envious expressions upon hearing that Mo Wuji was on the Starry Sky Ranking.
On the True Lake Continent, the four most famous rankings are, and the Starry Sky Ranking is the most valuable, not the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings. Don't underestimate the fact that the Starry Sky Ranking, including the main and sub-lists, has a total of ten thousand people. Distributing these ten thousand people across the entire True Lake Continent makes them truly as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Each one is an object of envy and awe for many cultivators.
Just imagine, if there were only 10,000 college students on Earth, how dense would their distribution be? And if Earth were dropped into the True Lake Continent, it might not even be found in any corner.
Chu Qianlou was also overjoyed to hear that Mo Wuji had made it onto the Starry Sky Ranking.
She knew that the Jing family could no longer use their influence to suppress him unless the Yan family intervened.
Just as Chu Qianlou thought of this, the man standing beside Jing Danwu stepped forward. He walked up to Mo Wuji, cupped his fists slightly, and said, "You're called Mo Wuji, and you've made it onto the Starry Sky Ranking?"
Mo Wuji didn't know who this person was, but he had already guessed that the woman beside him was Jing Danwu. Since he was standing next to Jing Danwu, he must be Jing Danwu's new lover. This guy's cultivation seemed to be only at the True Lake Realm mid-stage. For a True Lake Realm mid-stage cultivator to step forward and speak without the Yellow-Bearded Man saying anything, Mo Wuji knew that this guy's background must be unusual.
"That's right," Mo Wuji said in a deep voice.
He had even killed people from the Xia family, so what if the other party was even stronger?
"My name is Yan Yangdong, from Star Emperor Mountain. I don't care about your affairs with the Jing family, but you shouldn't insult my woman. The shameless Jing Danwu you mentioned is my woman," Yan Yangdong said in an icy tone, with a hint of killing intent.
The Yellow-Bearded Man sighed. Mo Wuji had made it onto the sub-list of the Starry Sky Ranking. Ordinary people, such as the Jing family, couldn't do anything to him without sufficient reason. But these ordinary people definitely didn't include the Yan family. To avoid being bullied by the Yan family, one would have to make it onto the main list of the Starry Sky Ranking.
The main list of the Starry Sky Ranking has a total of one thousand people. Which one of them is not a leader among men? There are even large numbers of Human Immortals, and even Earth Immortals exist. Even the worst is a True God Realm Completion expert.
Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. This person was from Star Emperor Mountain and was called Yan Yangdong. He dared to stand in front of the Yellow-Bearded Man to speak. He was definitely a member of the Yan family from Star Emperor Mountain. No wonder Pang Qi was so infatuated with Jing Danwu. This Jing Danwu really had some tricks. She had just dumped Pang Qi and had already climbed onto a cultivator from the Yan family.
Before Mo Wuji could speak, Yan Yangdong continued, "I won't bully you. Let's go to the Starry Sky Hall's Life and Death Stage for a duel, with life and death being your own responsibility."
Hearing Yan Yangdong's words, a burst of enthusiastic discussion immediately erupted around them, and many people's eyes were even filled with fervent anticipation.
Mo Wuji turned to Chu Qianlou with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is the Life and Death Stage?"
Chu Qianlou explained in a low voice, "In the Starry Sky Hall, if two people have a grudge, they can go to the Life and Death Stage for a battle as long as both parties agree. There are rules on the Life and Death Stage that only one person can come down at most. That is to say, the Life and Death battle will only end when both people die, or when one person dies. Besides the Life and Death Stage, there is also a Challenge Stage. The Challenge Stage has looser requirements than the Life and Death Stage. As long as you admit defeat, you can step down."
Mo Wuji nodded, seeing Yan Yangdong staring at him calmly, with disdain and killing intent in his eyes. He knew that these guys from large families all had this almost arrogant confidence.
When it came to confidence, Mo Wuji had never been weaker than these guys from large families. He said calmly, "You're not my match. Going on stage will only add another life to the tally."
"Hahahaha..." Yan Yangdong laughed as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world.
Since his debut, it was the first time he had heard a cultivator of the same rank say that he was not his match.
"If you have the guts, accept the Life and Death battle. If you don't have the guts, you can beg for mercy. Kneel down and apologize in front of my woman, and I might let you off once for the sake of you being on the Starry Sky Ranking." Yan Yangdong, who was originally just arrogant, was now unusually angry.
Although he had never been number one on the Human Ranking, he had once been in the top hundred. After advancing to the True Lake Realm, his strength had increased dramatically.
So what if Mo Wuji had entered the Starry Sky Ranking? As long as he truly entered the starry sky, the Starry Sky Ranking would be his backyard.
"Since you insist on fighting, then let's fight," Mo Wuji said indifferently.
He didn't want to offend the Yan family, but if Yan Yangdong insisted on a Life and Death battle with him, he wouldn't be afraid. He had already offended the Xia family, so what did it matter to offend another Yan family?
"You have guts. I won't take advantage of you. See you on the Life and Death Stage in three days." Yan Yangdong laughed and said to Jing Jiangsan and the others, "Let's go, I'll go to the second floor to exchange for something."
In his words, he didn't take the Life and Death battle three days later to heart at all.
After learning that Mo Wuji was on the Starry Sky Ranking, Jing Jiangsan had already given up the idea of taking Mo Wuji and the others to the Jing family. Now, he couldn't wait to stay as far away from Mo Wuji as possible. He even rejoiced that Yan Yangdong had initiated a Life and Death battle with Mo Wuji, eliminating a major threat for the Jing family. Otherwise, a Starry Sky Ranking expert who was also an enemy of the Jing family would not be a good thing for the Jing family.
As long as Yan Yangdong killed Mo Wuji in three days, it wouldn't be too late for him to take Pang Qi and the other two away.
"Wait," Mo Wuji called out to the group.
When the group stopped and looked at him in surprise, he said to Jing Jiangsan in a cold voice, "Your Jing family not only framed my friend, but also attacked us first. Are you just going to leave like this?"
Mo Wuji could tell from the reactions of Jing Jiangsan and the Yellow-Bearded Law Enforcement Official that his Starry Sky Ranking position seemed to have some use. If something was useful and he didn't use it, then he wouldn't be Mo Wuji.
Jing Jiangsan's heart tightened. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible and never expected that he wouldn't be looking for trouble with others, but others would come looking for him.
"What? You want to cause trouble for the Jing family?" Yan Yangdong raised an eyebrow. His Yan family had a family motto, which was not to be too ostentatious or arrogant. But now, he was not being ostentatious or arrogant. A mere rogue cultivator actually dared to be arrogant in front of him just because he had made it onto the Starry Sky Ranking?
Mo Wuji looked at Yan Yangdong with disdain and said, "If you want to challenge me now, I'll still accompany you. If your Yan family wants to stand up for the Jing family, feel free to come. I, Mo Wuji, will take it."
He would definitely kill Yan Yangdong if he challenged him. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to think about how not to offend the Yan family.
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, the surrounding people gasped. This guy was definitely not a simple person to be able to make it onto the Starry Sky Ranking, but this was a bit too arrogant, wasn't it? He actually dared to challenge the Yan family?
However, Mo Wuji's words left Yan Yangdong speechless. He wasn't afraid of Mo Wuji, but he was afraid of the Yan family's rules. The Yan family's rules were not to casually make enemies in the name of the family, not even with a rogue cultivator. Now Mo Wuji was talking about his Yan family. If he were to respond, he would be violating the family rules and making enemies in the name of the Yan family.
Fortunately, Mo Wuji didn't pay attention to him when he saw that Yan Yangdong didn't respond. Instead, he stood in front of Jing Jiangsan, "Return the things that the Jing family swindled from my friend, apologize, and get out."
"You're going too far. Jing Qiliang of my Jing family has already had his throat crushed by you. What else do you want?" Jing Jiangsan said angrily. Yan Yangdong didn't speak, so he could only look at the Yellow-Bearded True God Realm Law Enforcement Official.
That True God Realm Law Enforcement Official wasn't stupid. He saw that Mo Wuji didn't even care about the Yan family, so how could he speak up to help the Jing family at this time? Moreover, judging from the conversation between the two and the reactions of the people around him, the Jing family seemed to really be up to something.
Mo Wuji laughed, "Your Jing family attacked first, so are we not even allowed to defend ourselves? I know your Jing family is very domineering, but even if your Jing family is domineering, you have to follow the rules in this place."
As he spoke, Mo Wuji gave Chu Qianlou a signal, ready to attack at any time. The Jing family had attacked first, and since the Yellow-Bearded Law Enforcement Official hadn't said anything so far, it meant that there was no problem with him attacking.
In this place, he wasn't afraid of you attacking, he was afraid of you not having a reason to attack, even more afraid of you having a reason but not daring to attack.
If he was in the right today and didn't dare to attack the Jing family, he would have to walk with his head bowed in the Starry Sky Hall in the future.
"Haha..." Jing Jiangsan laughed, "You're just at the bottom of the Starry Sky Ranking. My Jing family has been in Blazing Sun City for so many years, we haven't been scared..."
Jing Jiangsan's words suddenly stopped because Mo Wuji stepped forward at this time, and the Eight-Cornered Iron Hammer in his hand had already smashed towards him.
The surrounding people were shocked as they watched Mo Wuji. Although Mo Wuji was in the right, a True Lake Realm cultivator actually dared to attack a Void God Realm sixth layer expert. They had really broadened their horizons.
