Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 289: Crescent Moon Key
Rong He also nodded, "I'll listen to Brother Qi. Wherever he says to go, I'll go."
"Good." Pang Qi responded with a firm tone, and then said to Mo Wuji, "Friend, since that's the case, we'll take our leave first. Perhaps we'll have a chance to meet in the Starry Sky Battlefield in the future."
Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "Since you're going to the Starry Sky Battlefield, we can travel together."
In fact, Mo Wuji didn't even know where the Starry Sky Battlefield was located. If there were companions, he naturally didn't want to ask others.
"Brother, we've offended the Jing family. If we travel together, it might implicate you," Rong He explained from the side.
Mo Wuji laughed loudly, "Since I started cultivating, I've never worried about being implicated. The people I've offended are even more powerful than the Jing family. Of course, if you're worried, you can point me in the direction of the Starry Sky Battlefield, and I can go there myself."
Pang Qi also laughed heartily, "We're already in this state. What's there to be afraid of? Since that's the case, let's all go together. By the way, I haven't had the pleasure of asking your name."
"My name is Mo Wuji. I'm also a rogue cultivator," Mo Wuji said, cupping his fists.
"Brother Mo, who did you offend that's more powerful than the Jing family?" After getting to know each other better, Rong He asked from the side.
"I heard it's from Star Emperor Mountain, surnamed Xia..."
When Pang Qi and the others heard Mo Wuji's words, they looked at each other in dismay, gasping for cold air. Although the Jing family they had offended was powerful, it was only because a woman from the Jing family had married into the Yan family, one of the three great families of Star Emperor Mountain. But this Mo Wuji they had just met had directly offended the Xia family of the three great families.
Pang Qi said with a wry smile, "Brother Mo, the person you offended is indeed more powerful than the one we offended. Compared to Brother Mo, I feel ashamed. We thought about escaping the True Morrow Continent after offending the Jing family. But Brother Mo offended the Xia family and is still thinking about going to the Starry Sky Battlefield."
"How did Brother Mo offend the Xia family?" After chatting for a while, they all became familiar with each other. Rong He felt that Mo Wuji seemed easy to get along with, and she no longer had any reservations when asking questions.
Mo Wuji chuckled, "I killed a few of the Xia family's servants, so I offended the Xia family."
Hearing Mo Wuji say that he killed a few of the Xia family's servants, Pang Qi and the others didn't pay much attention to it. They even felt that the Xia family probably wouldn't seek revenge on Mo Wuji just because of a few servants. For a large family like the Xia family, who would remember the deaths of a few servants?
In their opinion, Mo Wuji had killed at most a few human realm cultivators. Because the other party was from the Xia family, it became serious. If they knew that the lowest cultivation level of the servants Mo Wuji was talking about was True God Realm layer three, and the higher cultivation levels were True God Realm Completion, and there was even a Human Immortal King, they would probably go completely crazy.
Rong He sighed and said, "That's good, just a few servants. Brother Qi was chased by the Jing family because of a woman, and even alarmed the head of the Jing family."
"For a woman?" Mo Wuji looked at Pang Qi in confusion. He felt that Pang Qi wasn't the kind of person who would put his brothers in a deadly situation for a woman.
Rong He glanced at Pang Qi and didn't continue speaking.
Pang Qi sighed, "There's nothing to hide. Jing Danwu of the Jing family and I fell in love and got together. Her brother, Jing Danwen, thought that I was deceiving the Jing family for the Half-Moon Key and told the Jing family about it. His sister, Jing Danwu, was locked up by the Jing family for privately exchanging the Half-Moon Key with me. Then the Jing family wanted to kill me without listening to any explanations. If I hadn't been lucky, I wouldn't have been able to escape here."
"Half-Moon Key? What is that?" Mo Wuji asked casually.
Pang Qi took out a half-moon-shaped key from his storage bag and handed it to Mo Wuji, saying, "It's this thing. In fact, this thing is completely useless because no one knows what it's for. At most, it's just a souvenir."
Mo Wuji chuckled, "No wonder the Jing family is chasing you. Maybe this thing is useful to the Jing family. You really brought this key here. Why don't you just return it to the Jing family?"
Pang Qi said with a wry smile, "There are two Half-Moon Keys, which form a full moon. The Half-Moon Key in my hand is indeed Danwu's, and the Half-Moon Key in Danwu's hand is mine. We exchanged these things as a token of our love..."
"Wait..." Mo Wuji suddenly stared at Pang Qi and asked, "You said there are two Half-Moon Keys, and this one is from the Jing family? And you gave yours to Jing Danwu of the Jing family?"
Pang Qi nodded, "That's right, that's how it is. Because the Jing family was too tyrannical at the beginning, not only did they not release Danwu, but they also tortured her in every possible way. They directly tried to kill me. I only hate that my cultivation level is too weak to rescue Danwu, and I've implicated Xing Teng and Rong He."
Mo Wuji repeatedly looked at the Half-Moon Key in his hand. This Half-Moon Key looked very simple and ancient, and the material used was actually Celestial Sunflower Refined Gold. It felt icy cold in his hand.
"This is refined from good stuff," Mo Wuji said in a deep voice.
Pang Qi also said, "That's right. My father said that this was refined from Celestial Sunflower Refined Gold. I later looked at some refining material notes and saw that it was indeed refined from Celestial Sunflower Refined Gold. Celestial Sunflower Refined Gold is extremely precious. Don't underestimate this little bit. If you add it to a flying treasure, the grade of that flying treasure will immediately increase."
Mo Wuji looked at it for a while and continued to ask, "When did your father pass this Half-Moon Key to you?"
"Thirty-four years ago, when I was only four years old. I remember it very clearly. My father hung this thing around my neck and celebrated my birthday. Later, my mother told me that this thing would be left to my dao partner in the future and passed on to the descendants of the Pang family," Pang Qi said in one breath.
Mo Wuji said lightly, "Although I don't know if Jing Danwu's feelings for you are real or fake, I'm sure that the Half-Moon Key she exchanged with you is fake..."
Pang Qi's face immediately flushed red. He suppressed his anger and cupped his fists at Mo Wuji, saying, "Brother Mo, I know you're not an ordinary person. You can even scold me. But Danwu is a simple and sincere girl. She has suffered too much. Please don't say anything bad about her."
Mo Wuji smiled slightly and said indifferently, "I'm not saying anything bad about her because I think that since they are a pair of Half-Moon Keys, they should have appeared around the same year. Although your Half-Moon Key is also refined from Celestial Sunflower Refined Gold, the array patterns and various restrictions inside won't exceed ten years. So I think this Half-Moon Key is fake."
As he spoke, Mo Wuji had already handed the Half-Moon Key in his hand to Pang Qi. He had studied the array Dao of the Storage Star for so many years. The time he spent on studying the array Dao was even second only to the time he spent on cultivation. How could he not see that the Half-Moon Key in his hand was newly refined?
Pang Qi put away the Half-Moon Key, and his face looked a little ugly. Although he didn't continue to say anything, he was obviously a little angry at what Mo Wuji had just said. He would never allow even a suspicion of Jing Danwu.
Mo Wuji smiled and didn't explain further. This had nothing to do with him. He just said a few extra words because he thought Pang Qi was a good person.
Rong He quickly changed the subject and said, "Brother Mo, have you ever thought about going to the Earth Ranking?"
"How do you get on the Earth Ranking?" Mo Wuji asked casually.
"The easiest way is to find a strong person on the Earth Ranking, defeat him, and then you can replace his position on the Earth Ranking..."
Because Rong He deliberately changed the subject and didn't talk about the Jing family, everyone quickly forgot about the previous unpleasantness. In addition, Pang Qi said along the way that it was best not to use flying ship spiritual implements to avoid attracting powerful flying demon beasts, so everyone ran all the way. They talked about various topics in the cultivation world along the way, and they got along relatively happily.
A month later, just as the group was about to leave the Lost Heavenly Ruins, they suddenly saw a figure rushing over in a disheveled state.
"It's the Chu family's woman, the one who gave us the jade token to go to the Starry Sky Battlefield," Rong He exclaimed.
Mo Wuji also recognized her. It was the young woman from the Chu family. At this moment, she was covered in blood, and her aura was disordered. She had obviously suffered serious injuries.
