Mo Wuji waved his hand, and the Octagonal Iron Hammer was collected into his ring. At the same time, Yan Yangdong's ring was also collected by him; this was his spoils of war.

Yan Yangdong was indeed a top expert in the True Lake Realm, but he was still a bit lacking compared to him. Moreover, his skills were all obtained through fighting and killing, not through closed-door cultivation. He wasn't lying either; if Yan Yangdong had been tempered in the Starry Sky Battlefield, he would have found it difficult to kill his opponent so easily with that set of halberd techniques.

As for letting Yan Yangdong go, he never even considered it. At most, only one person could leave the duel stage alive. If he let Yan Yangdong go, and someone killed him for not following the rules of the duel stage, he would have nowhere to seek redress even in death. Challenging the rules of the Starry Sky Hall? Heh, maybe he wouldn't care about these things in the future when his strength was greater. At least for now, he wouldn't do such a brain-dead thing.

With Yan Yangdong killed, the situation on the duel stage gradually became clear. When everyone saw clearly that Yan Yangdong's head had been smashed, and the one standing on the duel stage was Mo Wuji, the scene even fell into a strange moment of silence. After that brief moment, an even more intense uproar and shouts rang out.

At this moment, Mo Wuji became completely famous in the Starry Sky Hall, even more so than when he made it onto the Starry Sky Ranking at 9951st place. Not every cultivator who could kill Yan Yangdong would dare to kill Yan Yangdong.

This unexpected result satisfied everyone's psychology, because someone had killed Yan Yangdong, the genius cultivator of the Yan family.

The cultivator standing by the stage who was responsible for announcing the victory of the duel only reacted after a long while, hurriedly shouting, "In this duel, Mo Wuji wins."

As for the loser, no matter what his surname was, no one would remember it at this moment.

"Brother Mo, you won!" Pang Qi and the others excitedly walked over, embraced Mo Wuji, and quickly left through the passage at the edge of the duel stage.

……

"Wuji, I think you lack a Dharma technique. No matter what kind of spiritual weapon you use, without Dharma techniques to complement it, you're far behind others. This time you were able to defeat Yan Yangdong because of the Yan family's rules. Otherwise, even if you won, you wouldn't have won so quickly." After returning to the Starry Sky Pier Inn, Chu Qianlou was the first to point out Mo Wuji's shortcomings.

"Sister Qianlou, what does it have to do with the Yan family's rules?" Rong He asked in confusion.

Chu Qianlou explained, "The Yan family's rules are that they are not allowed to enter the Void Battlefield until they reach the seventh level of the True Lake Realm. Yan Yangdong lacked the tempering of actual combat, and the strength he displayed in battle was not fully utilized, or rather, the methods he adopted were not correct. If it were a normal opponent, it wouldn't matter which methods he used. However, Wuji has just returned from the Starry Sky Battlefield, and even made it onto the Starry Sky Ranking, so his combat experience is definitely much richer than his."

In Chu Qianlou's heart, even if Mo Wuji hadn't come to the Starry Sky Battlefield, his combat experience would still be incomparable to ordinary people. She had personally witnessed Mo Wuji's abilities, which definitely couldn't be described by his cultivation level.

Chu Qianlou's vision was very sharp, and she saw the problem at a glance.

Mo Wuji naturally knew his shortcomings. Even if Chu Qianlou hadn't said it, he would have wanted to ask her where he could buy Dharma techniques. What he lacked wasn't hammer techniques, but a set of staff techniques.

"Sister Chu, do you know where I can buy better Dharma techniques?" Mo Wuji asked quickly.

Chu Qianlou replied, "I was just about to talk to you about this. There was a Starry Sky War not long ago, and I guess you participated in it. A large number of rare treasures appeared in this war, and the Starry Sky Hall will hold an auction in a few days. I suggest you participate in this auction; there may very well be Earth-grade Dharma techniques among them. Didn't you bet your Starry Sky Contribution Points that you would win? At a ratio of one to three, you'll have enough Contribution Points to participate in this auction."

Mo Wuji turned his gaze to Rong He. When Rong He heard about betting Contribution Points, she immediately perked up, "Oh, right, right, I'll go get the Contribution Points I won."

"Let's go together." Pang Qi also stood up.

"Is Mo Wuji here? Yu Qianni from the Starry Sky Hall is here to pay a visit." Just then, an abrupt voice came, landing in everyone's ears as if the person was right in front of them.

Mo Wuji immediately stood up and cupped his fist towards the door, saying, "Mo Wuji greets Senior Yu."

Mo Wuji knew with one listen that this voice belonged to the True God Realm yellow-bearded law enforcement officer. This guy came quickly; he had just killed Yan Yangdong, and this guy came over. He wondered what kind of explanation this guy would give him.

"Let's go together, Wuji. I'll accompany you," Chu Qianlou stood up as well.

Mo Wuji opened the door, and the yellow-bearded man was already standing at his door. Chu Qianlou and the others quickly paid their respects and took their leave.

"Senior Yu, please come in." Mo Wuji invited Yu Qianni into his residence.

Yu Qianni didn't stand on ceremony. He walked in, sat down, and said, "Little Friend Mo has extraordinary opportunities. You've become famous in one battle."

Mo Wuji said helplessly, "Senior Yu is making fun of me. I should say I've become troubled in one battle. I don't believe the Yan family won't come looking for me."

Yu Qianni laughed heartily, changing the subject and saying, "I believe Little Friend Mo will have extraordinary achievements in the future. I'm here today to tell you about the investigation from three days ago."

Mo Wuji cupped his fist and said, "Senior Yu, please speak."

Yu Qianni nodded, "After investigation, it was indeed Jing Jiangsan of the Jing family who took the initiative to have someone attack you. However, Jing Jiangsan is extremely cunning and has already escaped the Starry Sky Hall. I have issued a notice in the Starry Sky Hall that Jing Jiangsan, Jing Danwu, and Jing Qiliang will be added to the Starry Sky Hall's wanted list."

"Thank you, Law Enforcement Yu," Mo Wuji said, cupping his fist again.

Mo Wuji sneered inwardly. The result was as he expected. He didn't care. He also knew that Yu Qianni had taken the initiative to come here because he felt that he had great potential and didn't want to offend him too much. Coming here was a way of giving him some face.

Face was earned by oneself. The Starry Sky Hall didn't want to arrest people, so he would arrest them himself in the future. Coming here, even if it was just for face, a True God Realm law enforcement officer from the Starry Sky Hall didn't have that much face.

"Since that's the case, then this enforcer will take his leave." Yu Qianni said in a faint tone, then turned and left. He had indeed come here to give Mo Wuji some face, but Mo Wuji didn't appreciate it. As a True God Realm expert, he wouldn't stoop to currying favor with a small True Lake Realm cultivator.

Mo Wuji called him Senior Yu at first, which he was very satisfied with, indicating that Mo Wuji was observant and willing to build a good relationship with him, establishing some good karma. He didn't expect that after he announced the results of the investigation, Mo Wuji would immediately change his address to Law Enforcement Yu, which clearly showed that he didn't intend to continue establishing good karma with him. Since that was the case, why would he stay here and waste his breath?

No matter how great the potential of such a cultivator was, it would be difficult for him to live long. This time he had offended the Yan family; let's see how he would get through it.

Mo Wuji didn't take Yu Qianni's attitude to heart at all. He understood that Yu Qianni didn't want to offend the Yan family. However, the fact that this person didn't want to offend the Yan family but also wanted to establish good karma with him was just laughable. He didn't need a friend who couldn't help him when he needed it but wanted to rely on him when he became powerful in the future.

He didn't even bother to feign civility.

Was he supposed to humble himself and curry favor with Yu Qianni now, just to help the other party when he became powerful in the future? He, Mo Wuji, wasn't that low.

……

In the Star Cloud Hall of Star Emperor Mountain, Hall Master Yan Pingzhi was staring at a huge starry sky map floating in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed.

At this moment, a guard standing at the entrance of the hall suddenly turned around and bowed, saying, "Reporting to the Hall Master, the family head has just sent a message, requesting the Hall Master to go to the Yan family's ancestral hall immediately."

Yan Pingzhi's gaze shifted from the starry sky map, and he asked in a somewhat somber tone, "Did he mention why?"

The guard quickly said, "This subordinate doesn't know. This subordinate only received the message, asking the Hall Master to return as soon as possible."

Yan Pingzhi nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Don't look at this subordinate standing at the entrance of his hall, ready to receive his summons at any time. In fact, this person was from the Yan family and wasn't directly under his jurisdiction. Therefore, many messages didn't necessarily have to be told to him, the Hall Master.

Yan Pingzhi left the Star Cloud Hall of Star Emperor Mountain, and in just half an incense stick's time, he entered the Yan family's ancestral hall.

The three great families, no matter which one, had teleportation arrays that directly left Star Emperor Mountain. Many times, they could leave without even notifying the Star Lord.

As soon as Yan Pingzhi entered the family's ancestral hall, he knew that something must have happened. The Yan family only gathered so many elders and family seniors together during ancestral rituals.

"Yan Pingzhi greets the family head, greets the Supreme Elder." Yan Pingzhi first paid his respects to the two people in the leading seats before walking to the first seat on the left and sitting down.

On Star Emperor Mountain, Yan Pingzhi was one of the hall masters of the Ten Great Halls, and also the first commander of the Sixth Star Cloud Army in the Ten Armies of Star Emperor Mountain. But in the Yan family, he was at most ranked third. Above him were the family head, Yan Qiren, and the Supreme Elder, Yan Yang.

"Pingzhi is here. Sit down." The family head, Yan Qiren, nodded amiably to Yan Pingzhi.

"Has something happened?" Yan Pingzhi asked in confusion. Recently, he had been studying that starry sky map and hadn't been paying attention to the Yan family's affairs.

Yan Qiren said to a short, stout, beardless man on the right, "Gao Kai, tell Pingzhi about the situation."

Yan Gaokai stood up, first bowed to Yan Pingzhi before saying, "Not long ago, Yan Yangdong, a direct descendant of our Yan family, was killed on the duel stage in the Starry Sky Hall."

Yan Pingzhi's heart skipped a beat, not because Yan Yangdong was important. In fact, even if Yan Yangdong was a direct descendant, he wouldn't warrant such a grand gathering after being killed. The problem was, who had the gall to kill the Yan family's direct descendant genius?

"Who was it?" Yan Pingzhi asked sharply.

After Yan Qiren gestured for Yan Gaokai to sit down, he said, "The one who killed Yangdong was a rogue cultivator who had just made it onto the Starry Sky Ranking. His position is quite low, ranked 9951st. That's not the point. The point is, do any of you know what Yangdong had on him?"
