Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 321: Red Knot Travelling Alone
Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes, I desperately need a cultivation technique. I have a feeling that the Yan family won't let me off so easily. If it weren't for waiting for this auction, I might have already left the Starry Sky Hall and entered the starry sky."
Agreeing to Peng Zimai was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Mo Wuji. Both Peng Zimai and Chu Qianlou were sure that Mo Wuji agreed to go to the challenge arena for a cultivation technique.
Only Mo Wuji knew that his sudden agreement with Peng Zimai, without even mentioning any conditions, was indeed partly because he was interested in that staff technique. But there was an even more important reason: to escape the Starry Sky Hall.
Although he said he wasn't waiting for the auction and would leave the Starry Sky Hall to enter the starry sky now, he was sure he couldn't enter the starry sky now.
If the Yan family's reaction was this slow, it would be difficult for them to become one of the three major families of Star Emperor Mountain. The reason why the Yan family hadn't actively attacked him yet was probably because they were concerned about Star Emperor Mountain or other factors, not about him, Mo Wuji.
As long as there was any excuse, he was sure the Yan family would immediately come after him. It was estimated that all the Starry Sky Gates leaving the Starry Sky Wharf were being watched by the Yan family.
In this world, excuses are the easiest things to find when you want to make trouble for someone. As long as the Yan family wanted to keep him, they could find a hundred reasons not to let him leave the Starry Sky.
To take a step back, even if the Yan family let him leave the Starry Sky Hall now, he wouldn't dare to leave. Who could guarantee that the Yan family wouldn't follow him into the starry sky? He had been followed once before. Fortunately, that guy underestimated his strength, and he encountered a starry sky scorpion, allowing him to escape unharmed.
Since the Yan family lacked an excuse, he would give them one. Anyway, after participating in the auction, he would go to the challenge arena. He believed the Yan family would know his whereabouts as soon as possible and wait for him there.
What puzzled him was that Peng Zimai didn't seem worried that the Yan family would kill him in the first match. If the Yan family really killed him in the first match, then the Seeking Star Commerce's plan to earn contribution points from him would fail.
The only possibility was that the Seeking Star Commerce was confident that they could prevent the Yan family from killing him and help him earn enough contribution points. It was not surprising, as the Seeking Star Commerce could not have survived to this day, and still be so prosperous, without any backing.
"Then be careful yourself." Chu Qianlou still said with some worry.
"Sister Chu, I'll be fine. The Yan family can't keep me here, because they simply don't understand me. I still have some things to do outside. I might directly enter the starry sky after this auction, take care of yourselves." Mo Wuji said, looking at Pang Qi and the others. He believed that the Yellow-Bearded Enforcer wouldn't lie, and the Jing family wouldn't dare to do anything to Pang Qi and the others in the Starry Sky Hall.
As for the Yan family, Mo Wuji guessed they wouldn't do anything that would anger Pang Qi and the others.
Mo Wuji thought for a while and took out a flag and handed it to Chu Qianlou, "If the Yan family or the Jing family really dare to make trouble for you, then take this flag to the North Star Army and look for Mou Lanhan, joining the North Star Army is possible."
Although he believed that the Yan family would not do anything that would anger others, Mo Wuji was still a little worried. Families like the Yan family definitely did different things openly and secretly, and he was afraid they would act secretly.
"Do you know Mou Lanhan of the Mou family? Then you should also go to the North Star Army, the Yan family definitely wouldn't dare to touch you." Chu Qianlou said happily.
Mo Wuji shook his head, "I might go in the future, but not now."
Now Mo Wuji would naturally not go looking for Mou Lanhan. He couldn't be sure if he would become a bargaining chip between the Mou family and the Yan family, at least he wouldn't do such a thing until he had control over his own destiny. But Chu Qianlou and the others were not the Yan family's target, so there was no such concern in looking for Mou Lanhan.
Also, if he went to look for Mou Lanhan of the North Star Army now, it would be like owing him a great favor. This favor might even require his own life to repay, which he was unwilling to do. Letting Chu Qianlou and the others take the flag to the North Star Army would indeed also be owing a favor. But this favor would be much smaller, at most a favor for introducing them to a job.
A person who had struggled to this day naturally understood this principle.
"Okay, if we need it, I will take Pang Qi and the others to join the North Star Army." Chu Qianlou took Mo Wuji's flag.
...
Several days passed in a flash. It seemed that knowing Mo Wuji was preparing to enter the starry sky, Chu Qianlou and the others did not come to disturb him.
When there was only one day left before the auction, Mo Wuji packed up his things. He still had some things to do outside. At this moment, he had nearly 1.1 million Starry Sky contribution points available, but these contribution points were still not enough for Mo Wuji.
Just at this moment, the restriction at the door suddenly moved.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will passed through the restriction and saw a thin, black-clothed man. This black-clothed man looked like a sword without a scabbard, exuding a sharp sword aura all over his body. In fact, he was also carrying a sword without a scabbard on his back. On his right wrist, there was also a red ribbon tied.
Looking at his cultivation, he should be at the Perfect True Lake Realm.
Mo Wuji opened the restriction at the door, "What's the matter, friend?"
The black-clothed man sized up Mo Wuji, then nodded and said, "I'm here to find you, won't you invite me in to sit down?"
Mo Wuji smiled. A True Lake Realm cultivator couldn't do anything to him, even if the other party was from the Yan family, he was not afraid.
"Please come in." Mo Wuji led the black-clothed man into the room and activated the restriction again.
"You are very good. This is the first time I have heard of someone who dares to attack an Enforcer and still be unharmed. Haha, that's fine, but you even dare to kill people from the Yan family." The black-clothed man sat down unceremoniously and said to himself.
"If someone wants to kill me, even if he is the Hall Master of the Starry Sky Hall, I dare to attack." Mo Wuji said lightly.
The black-clothed man clapped his hands, "That's right, I admire people like you. Whoever wants to kill me, no matter who he is, I will kill him."
Mo Wuji did not fluctuate in the slightest because of the other party's words, and also sat down and asked calmly, "I don't know you, friend. Are you here just to say these few words?"
"I'm here to tell you that the Yan family will attack you." The black-clothed man tapped the table with his finger and said casually.
Mo Wuji didn't care, "So what? The Starry Sky Hall still has the rules of the Starry Sky Hall."
The black-clothed man didn't care about Mo Wuji's words and still said to himself, "I believe you also understand that the rules of the Starry Sky Hall are bullshit. And I guess you should think that the Yan family will attack you at the Seeking Star Challenge Arena..."
Mo Wuji was startled, but before he could ask, he heard the black-clothed man continue, "The information I got and my judgment is that someone will attack you the moment you leave the auction. You have no chance to go to the challenge arena, so your plan to use the time to go to the challenge arena to leave the Starry Sky Hall is completely a dream."
"Who are you? Why are you telling me this?" Mo Wuji calmed down. He knew that his plan should not work.
The only thing he couldn't understand was that his plan should have no flaws. It was most appropriate for the Yan family to kill him at the challenge arena. Why would the Yan family choose to attack the moment he left the auction? Whether what the other party said was true or not, Mo Wuji would treat it as true.
The black-clothed man smiled faintly, "I don't have a name, but I have a nickname called Lone Traveler Red Knot. I'm helping you because I admire you. Of course, if you don't believe my words, then forget it."
Mo Wuji had never heard of Lone Traveler Red Knot. Whether Lone Traveler Red Knot's words were true or false, he had to believe them.
"Do you think I should leave now?" Mo Wuji did not say whether he believed Lone Traveler Red Knot's words, but asked back.
If Lone Traveler Red Knot said he should leave now, then he would drive this person away without hesitation. The auction was tomorrow, and leaving now was tantamount to suicide.
"If you leave now, you are courting death. I have a way to help you once. Of course, before that, I want to tell you one thing. The Seeking Star Challenge Arena is actually a Yan family property, but not many people know about it. Just like the Unicorn Challenge Arena is the Xia family's property, not many people know about it." Lone Traveler Red Knot said calmly.
"What?" Mo Wuji was shocked. This time he finally understood why Peng Zimai would lend him a million contribution points without worrying that the Yan family would not give him a chance to earn contribution points at the challenge arena.
"I'm helping you because my brother attacked an Enforcer here, and was killed as a result. At that time, he had a conflict with the Xia family. It was clear that he was right, but the Enforcer shamelessly confused right and wrong and forcibly killed him. Over the years, I have only seen Enforcers pleasing the three major families, and seen countless people without backing humbly wagging their tails at the unfair judgments of the Enforcers, and offering their right cheek after being slapped on the left. You are the first person who dares to attack an Enforcer here, and still be unharmed."
After Lone Traveler Red Knot finished speaking, he took a deep breath, "Perhaps you are lucky, and offended small ants like the Jing family, or met Yu Qianni, an Enforcer who has never liked to cause trouble."
"You have been here all this time, do you want to find a chance to take revenge?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked.
Lone Traveler Red Knot said in an unmoving tone, "I not only want to take revenge, I want to establish a law enforcement place here that does not belong to the three major families. The Starry Sky Hall belongs to all cultivators of True Star, not to the three major families. Of course, before that, I want to kill many people."
Mo Wuji felt the fire in Lone Traveler Red Knot's chest. He suddenly said, "Maybe I will help you in the future. Now I want to go to the Unicorn Challenge Arena."
...
Seeking Star Commerce has always been one of the largest commerce houses in the Starry Sky Hall. This commerce house has always acted very low-key. Many large-scale auctions in the Starry Sky Hall are handled by this commerce house.
And today is the opening day of the largest auction in the Starry Sky Hall in the past two years. This auction is hosted by the Seeking Star Commerce.
Mo Wuji, disguised as a middle-aged man, followed the crowd into the Seeking Star Commerce auction venue. Even he had to admire Lone Traveler Red Knot's disguise skills. Even if someone stared at him, if they didn't use their spiritual sense to probe, they wouldn't be able to tell that he was disguised.
People who can survive in the Starry Sky Hall are indeed not simple.
