Mo Wuji felt a faint cracking sound throughout the space. Immediately, his vision and spiritual perception were directly locked within the circular hall. If it weren't for his Storage Spiritual Channels, his spiritual perception would have been completely unable to extend outwards.

An extreme sense of oppression surged forth, inexplicably filling Mo Wuji with a sense of dread.

As a fourth-level Grand Divine Array Master, Mo Wuji immediately understood what was happening. He was trapped within this circular hall by a repressive array. This trapping array was quite sophisticated, likely a fifth-level Divine Array.

He felt panicked, an overwhelming urge to escape, all due to this powerful trapping array. As time passed, this feeling intensified, so much so that he felt suffocated. This suffocation wasn't just physical; it permeated his entire being.

This drove Mo Wuji to an extreme impulse - to kill the female cultivator and immediately flee the Scattered Cultivator Alliance.

Before entering, Mo Wuji had anticipated that the Scattered Cultivator Alliance would be a disgusting place, but he hadn't expected them to dare use a repressive trapping array here.

If this were to be revealed, it would surely invite the Nirvana Learning Academy's furious retaliation, possibly even leading to the complete annihilation of the Scattered Cultivator Alliance. Mo Wuji wondered where the Scattered Cultivator Alliance got the audacity to do such a thing.

Mo Wuji secretly prepared himself but made no overt moves. He believed that if deploying a trapping and isolation array was all it took to kill someone within Nirvana Dao City, then Nirvana Dao City would not be the safest place on the entire God Continent. Even if Nirvana Dao City colluded with the Scattered Cultivator Alliance, they would never dare to act so brazenly, and it would surely only be a few individuals involved.

Honestly, Mo Wuji didn't take the early-stage Heavenly God woman seriously. He understood that if the Scattered Cultivator Alliance intended to act against him, she wouldn't be the only one.

As Mo Wuji braced himself, his one hundred and eight meridians instantly formed a complete circulatory cycle. A stream of cool energy permeated from the purple lake within Mo Wuji's consciousness, quickly reaching his Fetal Respiration Channels. After passing through the Fetal Respiration Channels, the oppressive feeling instantly lessened, and the urge to attack vanished. Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, secretly communicating with the image crystal ball through his Storage Spiritual Channels while calmly observing the Heavenly God cultivator before him.

Seeing that Mo Wuji didn't move, merely stared at her, the woman was surprised.

After a dozen or so breaths, seeing that Mo Wuji showed no sign of attacking, the woman coldly asked, "Are you indeed Scattered Cultivator 2705?"

Mo Wuji remained calm. "That's right, I am Scattered Cultivator 2705. I obtained a spot in the Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment in the Scattered Cultivator Battle Arena and am here to collect the jade token."

"I'll verify your information first, then let you collect the jade token. Wait here for a moment." The woman was secretly growing anxious. According to the information she had, Mo Wuji should quickly become agitated and attack her.

"Very well." Mo Wuji replied before frowning and continuing, "Why was everything normal when I first entered, but after you pressed the starburst symbol on your wrist, I felt an extreme sense of oppression? It even made me restless. I clearly have respect for you and the entire Scattered Cultivator Alliance, but I still felt an urge to attack. What is going on?"

The woman stared blankly at Mo Wuji. This wasn't the first time she had done this. Usually, as soon as the target attacked, she would immediately deactivate the starburst repressive trapping array. At that point, anyone would compromise with the Scattered Cultivator Alliance, without needing to go through Nirvana Dao City.

If the target attacked but hadn't really started fighting, Nirvana Dao City wouldn't say anything even if they detected it. Who would care about such a small matter?

Mo Wuji was the first cultivator to wait so long without attacking, instead asking for the reason.

"You must be feeling nervous after just coming from the Battle Arena. Here, place your hand on this groove; it will verify your identity." The woman casually glossed over Mo Wuji's words, pointing to a hand-shaped groove beneath the large name array display screen in the circular hall.

This time, Mo Wuji didn't hesitate. He walked over and placed his hand directly into the groove. He had noticed this groove the moment he entered. If the groove had any issues, the Scattered Cultivator Alliance would never dare to place it so openly in the hall.

The woman looked at Mo Wuji in surprise. Mo Wuji seemed cautious, so why was he asking no questions this time? Originally, she planned to scold Mo Wuji if he asked any questions and provoke him. Now that Mo Wuji was being so obedient, she didn't even have the chance.

As soon as Mo Wuji's hand rested on the groove, a blank box appeared above it.

The woman hurriedly said, "Please write the three characters 'Gou Zongcai' in the box."

Mo Wuji was taken aback. He realized that "Gou Zongcai" was clearly a name. This was supposed to be his fingerprint information; why was he being asked to write the name Gou Zongcai?

"Hurry up; I don't have all day to stand here with you." The woman's tone held a hint of impatience.

Without hesitation, Mo Wuji wrote "Scattered Cultivator 2705" above. What was Gou Zongcai? Naturally, he would write his own name.

"Clatter!" As soon as Mo Wuji finished writing his name, a jade token fell out. Mo Wuji had already scanned the jade token with his spiritual perception and confirmed that the name on it was his. With a wave of his hand, he directly stored the jade token away.

If writing any name meant that the jade token belonged to that person, then it meant that there was a huge bug here. Even an idiot would recognize such a bug. Since everyone knew about it, why was the problem still there? What did that imply?

No matter how quickly Mo Wuji wrote, he couldn't outpace the woman's eyes. She saw that Mo Wuji not only didn't write Gou Zongcai but instead wrote "Scattered Cultivator 2705" and then stored the jade token. Her expression immediately changed. She immediately pressed the communication bead in her hand. A door suddenly appeared behind the circular hall, and two figures entered the circular hall.

One of the two was dressed in a gray Scattered Cultivator robe, tall and muscular, with narrow eyes. Even without him using his aura to suppress Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji could tell that this man was a God King, though he didn't know his exact level. Following the God King was an extremely seductive woman. Mo Wuji could clearly sense her cultivation level. It should be around the sixth level of the World God Realm.

"You're Scattered Cultivator 2705? Not bad, earning a direct spot in the assessment after only killing two people." The tall God King asked Mo Wuji as he entered. Then, without waiting for Mo Wuji to answer, he answered himself.

"It's me," Mo Wuji said calmly. "I've already received the jade token; can I leave now?"

"Not so fast," the God King said casually. "Your cultivation technique is quite remarkable."

Mo Wuji understood what he meant. Ordinary God Nurturing cultivators would definitely be unable to withstand the repressive trapping array here, but he had easily resisted it.

"If I were to say that I could kill you here and no one would know, would you believe me?" the God King said casually.

Mo Wuji's heart tightened. He quickly cut off the Storage Spiritual Channels' recording with the crystal ball. If this God King began to suppress him, even his Storage Spiritual Channels recording would be discovered.

He hadn't feared the early-stage Heavenly God woman at all, but now there was a God King here. Killing him might be as simple as a slap. Moreover, Mo Wuji wasn't sure if Nirvana Dao City would speak fairly if a God King killed a God Nurturing cultivator.

"I believe in the Nirvana Learning Academy..." As Mo Wuji spoke, he suddenly unleashed a divine ability, aiming directly at the early-stage Heavenly God woman.

Seeing Mo Wuji unleash a divine ability, the God King was delighted instead of surprised. This brat had finally made his move. As long as Mo Wuji made the first move, everything would be easier. So, when Mo Wuji attacked, he wasn't in a hurry.

Mo Wuji had to act. If he waited for the God King to act, he would have no chance to act at all.

"Crack!" On the surface, Mo Wuji was attacking the Heavenly God woman, but in reality, he was striking the array core at the entrance of the repressive array.

The repressive array was shattered in an instant, but not by Mo Wuji. It was Xiling Ru, who had been waiting at the entrance.

Xiling Ru had been waiting for Mo Wuji at the entrance. When he sensed the intense divine essence fluctuations, he tore open the protective array without hesitation and entered the circular hall.

Seeing Xiling Ru enter, Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Xiling Ru was befriending him with ulterior motives, he should be a friend worth making. After all, tearing open the Scattered Cultivator Alliance's protective array without a reason would cause no small amount of trouble. And Xiling Ru had no idea that he possessed an image crystal ball for evidence.

God King? As soon as Xiling Ru entered, the God King who intended to restrain Mo Wuji's expression hardened, and he stopped his movements.

"Sect Leader Xi, what is the meaning of this? Though the Scattered Cultivator Alliance is composed of scattered cultivators, it is not a place where anyone can tear open the protective array." The God King recognized Xiling Ru and knew that Xiling Ru was the sect leader of the Lower God Land's Small Lingxiao Sect, with a cultivation of the fourth level of the God King Realm, one level higher than his own.

Before Xiling Ru could speak, an oppressive aura rushed in directly from outside the window, and a male cultivator in red robes landed in the Scattered Cultivator Alliance's circular hall.

"Who is fighting here?" The red-robed man's gaze swept over the group. On his chest were the words "Nirvana Dao City Law Enforcement."

After saying this, the red-robed man sent out another flying sword.

The red-robed man's cultivation was only in the mid-stage of the World God Realm. Mo Wuji guessed that he had seen two God Kings here, so he had sent out a flying sword to request reinforcements.

The tall God King from the Scattered Cultivator Alliance directly cupped his fists and said, "Luo Yu of the Scattered Cultivator Alliance greets Law Enforcement Fu. This mere God Nurturing cultivator dared to suddenly attack in my Scattered Cultivator Alliance and even colluded with a God King to tear open my Scattered Cultivator Alliance's protective array. I believe this mere God Nurturing cultivator must be relying on a God King to back him up."
