Xiong Xing-teng and Rong He both glanced at Pang Qi. Mo Wuji's words, proven by facts, were indeed accurate. However, their Brother Qi seemed to trust Jing Danwu too much, directly disregarding Mo Wuji's earlier warnings.

Seeing that Pang Qi showed no intention of mentioning the Jing family, they both sighed inwardly, saying nothing more.

With Chu Qianlou poisoned and unable to move, Mo Wuji and the others had no choice but to stay where they were to accompany her.

A day passed, and as Mo Wuji had predicted, the toxins in Chu Qianlou's body were completely cleared, and she regained her strength.

"Sister Chu, now that you've recovered, we'll take our leave." Mo Wuji, having restored Chu Qianlou's strength, took the initiative to bid farewell.

This was an internal matter of the Chu family. He had saved Chu Qianlou and waited until her toxins were gone before leaving, which he felt was the most he could do.

Chu Qianlou bowed to Mo Wuji again, saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "Wuji, I know you are no ordinary person. I beg you to accompany me to the Chu family, so I can bring Zihan out."

Mo Wuji immediately looked troubled, as he really didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

Chu Qianlou saw Mo Wuji's reluctance and quickly continued, "Qiu He's betrayal is definitely not because of himself, but because others in the Chu family want to seize power. He should still be loyal to the Chu family. I know the Chu family's strength very well; I'm the strongest, so I don't pose a threat to them. I just need to take Zihan away. I know your experience far surpasses mine, and your judgment is better too. This time, I'm not asking you to take action, but..."

Chu Qianlou couldn't go on, but Mo Wuji understood her meaning. She was worried that the Chu family would use some other tricks to trap her again.

Mo Wuji was speechless. He knew that in this Madam Chu's eyes, he was probably a cunning fellow. But what could he do? It was just that his strength was insufficient. If he truly had the strength, he wouldn't want to use tricks to kill that True Lake cultivator. Crushing the opponent with his own strength would be much more satisfying, wouldn't it?

As for Chu Qianlou saying that there were no strong people in the Chu family who could threaten her, Mo Wuji believed that. If the Chu family really had someone strong enough to instantly kill Chu Qianlou, they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of poisoning her.

As for saying that Qiu He was loyal to the Chu family, Mo Wuji just chuckled. This kind of guy who could betray Chu Qianlou, and with no one in the Chu family able to control him, why would he be loyal to the Chu family? He just didn't understand the reason for his betrayal.

"After this matter, no matter what, I will go to the Starry Sky Battlefield with you. I can find someone and help you get Starry Sky Badges..." Chu Qianlou said sincerely.

Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "Get Starry Sky Badges? You mean the score badges for the Starry Sky Rankings? We've already entered the Starry Sky Battlefield, can't we get Starry Sky Badges?"

"Brother Mo, although Starry Sky Badges can be obtained, it's a bit troublesome. First, they have to investigate your origins, then ask about your cultivation, and even do some tests before they can issue a Starry Sky Badge. For example, Sister Chu, if she applies for a Starry Sky Badge through normal means, it will say 'Chu family of Zhenmo, so-and-so, Chu Qianlou'. For those of us who can't reveal our identities, we don't plan to apply for Starry Sky Badges after entering the Starry Sky Battlefield," Pang Qi explained from the side.

Few people go to the Starry Sky Battlefield without getting Starry Sky Badges, because the scores for the Starry Sky Rankings are on the Starry Sky Badges. Without a Starry Sky Badge, you can't score points, and you can only gain experience and some temporary benefits.

Mo Wuji thought of his Vagabond cultivator 2705 and sighed inwardly. How could he not have a Starry Sky Badge? How could he get on the Starry Sky Rankings without a Starry Sky Badge? If he couldn't get on the Starry Sky Rankings, he simply couldn't complete the fishing old man's deal.

He believed that if he dared to leave that fishing old man aside, pretending to forget the guy's instructions, it probably wouldn't be long before his head would be fished away by the fishing old man's hook.

But he couldn't truthfully reveal his origins either. If the people from Star Emperor Mountain knew that Mo Wuji had come, perhaps the next moment, his Mo Wuji's head would appear in the Star Emperor Mountain's Xia family's territory.

"Sister Chu, because I've offended some people, I really can't use my own origins to get a Starry Sky Badge, so I'll have to trouble you." Mo Wuji cupped his fists and thanked her.

By saying this, he was agreeing to Chu Qianlou's idea of going to the Chu family.

Chu Qianlou also said apologetically, "I should have helped you get this Starry Sky Badge directly, but I really can't leave Zihan alone..."

Seeing Mo Wuji looking at him, Pang Qi immediately said, "Brother Mo, since we've already decided to go to the Starry Sky Battlefield together, I'll naturally go to the Chu family with Brother Mo."

……

Chuzhou got its name because the Chu family rose here. It's said that a long time ago, the Chu family even produced a Human Immortal expert, and there were even more True God experts.

But more than a hundred years ago, after several True God experts from the Chu family all fell in a great battle in the Starry Sky Battlefield, the Chu family gradually declined. Eight years ago, Chu Lin, the head of the Chu family, was killed outside Chuzhou City. Chu Lin's only son, Chu Zhiyuan, left for the Starry Sky Battlefield to avenge his father, wanting to learn a set of skills in the Starry Sky Battlefield and return. But reality is always more cruel than dreams. Chu Zhiyuan stayed in the Starry Sky Battlefield for less than a year before he reportedly fell in the Starry Sky Battlefield.

With Chu Zhiyuan's death, the Chu family completely lost its leader. Fortunately, Chu Qianlou, Chu family's widow, supported the crumbling Chu family. After nearly ten years of hard work, she barely managed to keep the Chu family's title as the first family in Chuzhou from falling.

After Mo Wuji and his group arrived outside Chuzhou, someone immediately recognized Chu Qianlou.

Watching the cultivator who recognized her rush into Chuzhou City, Chu Qianlou's lips revealed a hint of self-deprecation. If it were normal times, after seeing her, those cultivators would have come forward to bow and pay their respects. Because even if Chuzhou was dilapidated, the Chu family was still the first family here. And she, Chu Qianlou, was the temporary leader of the Chu family.

Now she understood that even though she also bore the Chu surname and was even the daughter-in-law of the Chu family head, it seemed that no one regarded her as a member of the Chu family.

Entering Chuzhou, Mo Wuji shook his head slightly. He had been to many cultivation cities, and this Chuzhou City was one of the worst.

The outer Gathering Spirit Array couldn't make Chuzhou's spiritual energy much denser, and the streets and shops in the city also looked a bit dilapidated. He recalled Tian Kou City, which he had built with his own hands, which could almost crush this Chuzhou City.

Pang Qi also saw the cultivator quickly entering the city and immediately subconsciously took out his magic weapon.

Chu Qianlou shook her head, "I'm safe and sound now, they wouldn't dare to attack. What they want is the Chu family's power. I'll give it to them. We can just go to the Chu family and discuss the terms."

Chuzhou City was very dilapidated, but the Chu family still looked very imposing.

Seemingly knowing that Chu Qianlou was back, the gate had already been opened. Apart from the cultivators guarding on both sides, no one came out to greet her.

Mo Wuji's spiritual sense swept over, and the Chu family's protective array could barely be considered a mid-grade defensive array. This mid-grade defensive array hadn't been set up for very long, at most no more than thirty years. Although this defensive array also had some trapping and killing circulation arrays, Mo Wuji didn't pay any attention to it at all.

Chu Qianlou walked through the Chu family's gate without hesitation.

In the main hall in the middle of the Chu family, it was already full of people. An old man was sitting in the position of the Chu family head. Standing next to this old man was a middle-aged man. Mo Wuji recognized this person. He was the Manager Qiu who had appeared with Chu Qianlou in the Lost Heaven Ruins.

Chu Qianlou looked at this place where she was supposed to sit, and said coldly, "Chu Ji, if you want to be the Chu family head, then just say it directly. Why be so despicable?"

From beginning to end, she didn't even glance at that Manager Qiu.

"Chu Qianlou, you shameless hussy. Do you think that just because you have the Chu surname, you're a member of my Chu family? Although the Chu family has declined, it hasn't reached the point where we need a woman to stand on our heads and point fingers. Get out! The Chu family doesn't need you to bring your wild men in." The old man sitting in the first seat hadn't even spoken yet when a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks standing on the side shouted sharply.

Chu Qianlou trembled with anger. Suddenly, with a wave of her hand, a ray of light shot out. The man who was still shouting had his forehead pierced by the ray of light, bursting out a cloud of blood.

The old man sitting in the first seat, called Chu Ji, also suddenly stood up, pointing at Chu Qianlou and said sharply, "Chu Qianlou, we Chu family don't care about what you do with other men. Your Chu is not the Chu of my Huazhou Chu family, but you actually dare to kill someone in my Huazhou Chu family..."

As he spoke, Chu Ji slammed the table in front of him. Then Mo Wuji and the others heard a series of clicking sounds coming from around them. Pang Qi and the others quickly took out their weapons, cautiously looking around.

This was obviously the rhythm of the trapping array being opened, to trap everyone.

Seeing that the Chu family's trapping array had been opened, Chu Ji's face finally became more peaceful. He turned to look at Manager Qiu on the side and said, "Manager Qiu, Chu Qianlou just killed someone in my Chu family. Only you can stop her. Why aren't you taking action?"

Manager Qiu completely ignored Chu Ji. He walked down and looked at Chu Qianlou with a gentle voice, "Yesterday, Ge Xin didn't bring you back, so I knew you should be clear that I did it. I'm sorry, Qianlou. I really like you too much. I can't restrain my feelings. I'm tormented by this longing every day. I always fantasize about you nestling by my side..."

Chu Qianlou took a few steps back, pointing her finger at Manager Qiu, saying in disbelief, "Qiu He, you're so shameless..."

Qiu He's gaze became even more gentle, "What merits and abilities does Chu Zhiyuan have to possess a woman as excellent as you? Come with me. The Chu family's decline is set in stone. Why stay in this kind of place and waste your time?"

Chu Qianlou looked at Qiu He in shock. No wonder a Void God Realm expert would stay in the Chu family as a manager. This Qiu He must have coveted her for a long time. Fortunately, her strength had always been no weaker than Qiu He's, which prevented him from having a chance to attack.

Chu Qianlou looked at Chu Ji, who was sitting above her looking somewhat at a loss, with pity. Since he didn't have that strength and was just a collateral of the Chu family, why did he want to covet the position of Chu family head? Others thought that she, Chu Qianlou, was occupying this position and didn't want to leave, but in fact, she, Chu Qianlou, had long since stopped wanting this position as family head. If she could, she, Chu Qianlou, would rather take Zihan far away from the Chu family.

"Where is Zihan?" Chu Qianlou didn't respond to Qiu He's words, but instead asked coldly.
