"So, you're the Jing family who likes to frame others and run the 'immortal trap' scam?" Mo Wuji said sarcastically.

He felt some sympathy for Pang Qi. Pang Qi's actions might seem mindless, but in reality, only someone who had experienced Pang Qi's kind of emotion would act that way. Back then, he had excelled in everything else, but in matters of the heart, wasn't he just as much of an idiot as Pang Qi?

Regardless of the reason, he could never forgive Xia Ruoyin for attacking him. Even if, in Xia Ruoyin's eyes, Mo Wuji had a reason to die, he should have the right to know. But Xia Ruoyin gave him none of that.

Seeing Mo Wuji easily break through his aura suppression, Jing Jiangsan's murderous aura surged. He flashed forward, reaching out to grab Mo Wuji.

In his eyes, Mo Wuji's cultivation was at most at the True Lake Stage. He was merely hiding his spiritual fluctuations to appear mysterious. He refused to believe he couldn't subdue a mere True Lake Stage cultivator.

Mo Wuji didn't even budge this time, sending a punch towards Jing Jiangsan.

He wanted to test just how much of a difference there was between him and a Void God Stage Level 6 cultivator.

"Bang!" Yuan energy exploded. Mo Wuji was forced back more than ten steps by the powerful energy backlash, a series of dull pains throbbing in his chest.

Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised. Although he was far weaker than his opponent in terms of yuan energy, it would be unlikely for the other party to intercept and kill him in the starry sky.

Jing Jiangsan was shocked. He was now certain that Mo Wuji was a Void God Stage expert. Even though his earlier grab hadn't been at full strength, he believed that a True Lake Stage cultivator wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

"Who dares to fight at the Starry Sky Wharf?" A powerful aura surged over, followed by a very tall man landing between Mo Wuji and Jing Jiangsan.

From the badge on the man's waist, everyone could see that he was an enforcer of the Starry Sky Wharf. Anyone who dared to violate the Starry Sky Wharf's rules and fight here would be killed on the spot.

"Mo Wuji greets Enforcer Lord. I was meeting with a few friends here when this person and his companions took the initiative to provoke us." Seeing the enforcer arrive, Mo Wuji immediately stepped forward to pay his respects, while also explaining the reason clearly.

This guy's strength was probably slightly lower than Jing Jiangsan's, but Mo Wuji knew very well what the consequences were for offending the enforcer here without a backing. It was non-existent.

Moreover, he was certain that he was completely in the right. Whether it was towards Pang Qi and the others, or towards him, he was the one who acted after the other party. In the Starry Sky Hall, the party who acted after the other party was in the right.

Jing Jiangsan also quickly stepped forward to salute, saying, "Jing Jiangsan, a disciple of the Jing Family of Lieyang City, greets Enforcer Lord."

Hearing that he was from the Jing Family of Lieyang City, the enforcer's expression changed slightly. Clearly, in terms of status, the Jing Family of Lieyang City was far above a rogue cultivator. Mo Wuji hadn't revealed his background, so he was undoubtedly a rogue cultivator.

"Explain the specific reason," the enforcer cultivator asked indifferently.

Mo Wuji knew things wouldn't go well seeing the enforcer official asking Jing Jiangsan in a gentle tone.

Sure enough, Jing Jiangsan glanced at Mo Wuji before saying, "Reporting to Enforcer Lord, these few were originally guards of my Jing Family. Later, they stole things from my Jing Family and fled. Only today did I manage to stop them here. I reported to the Starry Sky Hall to register their arrest a while ago."

Hearing that Jing Jiangsan had already reported, the enforcer official nodded. He then said to Mo Wuji and the others, "The few of you, follow me."

After speaking, he signaled to Jing Jiangsan, "You come along too."

Mo Wuji knew that if he really went with this enforcer official, he would never come back.

"Enforcer Lord, I believe the situation can be clarified publicly here. In fact, the Jing family is lying. The Jing family, wanting to covet a treasure on my friend Pang Qi, had a woman from the Jing family named Jing Danwu deliberately approach..."

Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, the enforcer official coldly snorted, "Do I need you to teach me how to enforce the law? Immediately come with me, or you will be killed without exception."

Chu Qianlou had been relieved when she saw Mo Wuji arrive, but she didn't expect things to develop like this. She quickly stood up, about to speak.

But the enforcer didn't even wait for Chu Qianlou to speak before harrumphing, "Anyone associated with these few, take them all away."

Mo Wuji felt a sense of powerlessness. Because the other party didn't want to offend the Jing family, they were determined to capture them to gain favor with the Jing family. But how could he go with this guy?

"What an impressive display of authority. If you have the guts, try taking me away." Mo Wuji's aura surged, lightning crackling around him.

At this point, he had no choice but to make a scene. This wasn't a problem that could be solved with reason. If they continued to be weak, none of them would be able to leave the Starry Sky Wharf alive.

There were already many onlookers, but now that Mo Wuji was preparing to fight the enforcer here, even more bystanders were attracted.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Jing Jiangsan's mouth. With such a lack of planning, he dared to fight his Jing family? He hadn't even used his methods yet, and the other party had already lost his composure.

"Hahaha..." Huang Mou wanted to see where a rogue cultivator got the confidence to confront the Starry Sky Hall's enforcer.

While speaking, he reached out to grab Mo Wuji, just like Jing Jiangsan had done before.

Chu Qianlou was sweating anxiously, but she was helpless.

Things had reached this point, and Mo Wuji had no way to retreat. The only way was to rush to the third floor and escape into the starry sky through the Starry Sky Gate.

Almost at the same time as the enforcer reached for Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji unleashed a lightning blast.

"Boom!" The enforcer's hand bone, which was reaching toward Mo Wuji, was directly shattered by Mo Wuji's lightning blast. He was only at the Void God Stage Level 2, even weaker than Jing Jiangsan. But he was used to being arrogant in this enforcement hall. Who dared to fight the enforcement hall’s enforcement officer? Many cultivators who were stronger than him spoke softly and humbly in front of him.

Mo Wuji's previous aura had seemed like mere bluster in his eyes. Even if it wasn't, he wouldn't fear Mo Wuji, a young man who looked like he hadn't even come of age.

But Mo Wuji's lightning blast shattered his hand bone, instantly making him realize that Mo Wuji's strength seemed to be no less than his. What shocked him the most was that Mo Wuji dared to retaliate.

"Bang!" The Void God Stage enforcer didn't hesitate to shoot out a beam of light. This was a distress signal. When encountering cultivators who obstructed the enforcement of the law and were stronger than him, he could send out this kind of distress signal.

Everyone looked at Mo Wuji and the others with sympathy. Everyone knew that Mo Wuji and the others' fate would be worse than death.

"Boom!" A terrifying aura pressed down. For the first time, Mo Wuji was forced back by someone else's aura suppression, crashing into Chu Qianlou. It was Chu Qianlou who reached out to stop Mo Wuji.

This person was definitely at the late-stage True God Stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been subjected to such great aura pressure. Mo Wuji immediately determined the other party's strength, becoming even more worried. Could he escape to the third floor and into the starry sky under the hands of a True God Stage expert? Besides, even if he really rushed into the starry sky, what could he do?

If he really had no other choice, he could only use the command flag that Mu Luhan had given him. Frankly, Mo Wuji really didn't want to use this command flag. This kind of thing was considered a favor, and using it was equivalent to owing someone a favor.

A yellow-bearded man landed in the first-floor hall of the Starry Sky Wharf. He scanned Mo Wuji and the others, then scanned Jing Jiangsan and the others, finally focusing on the enforcer whose hand bone had been shattered by Mo Wuji.

"Speak?" The yellow-bearded man only said one word.

The enforcer immediately embellished the story of Mo Wuji obstructing the enforcement of the law.

The yellow-bearded man turned his gaze to Mo Wuji, asking in an icy tone, "Is this true?"

If it were a normal cultivator, would the yellow-bearded man even bother with so much nonsense? He had noticed that Mo Wuji hadn't reached the Void God Stage, but could injure Huang Zhan. As for not showing spiritual fluctuations, many cultivators liked to hide their cultivation. If a True Lake Stage cultivator injured Huang Zhan's hand bone, even in a situation where Huang Zhan was caught off guard, it wouldn't be easy.

If Mo Wuji had really injured a Void God Stage early-stage cultivator while at the True Lake Stage, then Mo Wuji was definitely not as simple as a rogue cultivator. There was also the problem that the Starry Sky Hall's forces were currently reorganizing and taking sides. With so many cultivators watching, if he didn't handle it properly, it would have a significant impact after it spread out.

The forces in the Starry Sky Hall were deeply intertwined, and one could easily get caught up in them. So, he wouldn't act rashly before clarifying the situation.

Mo Wuji cupped his fists, speaking neither arrogantly nor subserviently, "This person is spouting nonsense. He was completely biased towards the Jing family because he wanted to secretly help them. The truth is that the Jing family wanted to trick my friend out of an ancestral treasure, having a Jing family woman pretend to be pure and innocent to seduce my friend. Now that the thing has been taken away, they want to kill and silence him."

Jing Jiangsan quickly stepped forward and said, "Senior Yu, the facts are not..."

From Jing Jiangsan's words, others could tell that he knew this True God Stage expert.

The yellow-bearded man snorted, "I haven't asked you yet."

He didn't care about the Jing family, whom he knew inside and out. The Jing family had merely gotten on the coattails of the Yan family. His status didn't require him to care.

"Take out your Starry Sky Token and let me see it," the yellow-bearded man said to Mo Wuji in a deep voice.

Mo Wuji took out his Starry Sky Token and handed it to the yellow-bearded man.

"Mo Wuji, Starry Sky contribution points 26811, ranking 9951." Seeing this row of words, the yellow-bearded man looked at Mo Wuji in shock and asked, "Are you on the Starry Sky Ranking?"

Mo Wuji could tell that the yellow-bearded man didn't intend to sell them out to the Jing family. It seemed that being on the Starry Sky Ranking came with different treatment. He immediately cupped his fists and saluted, saying, "Reporting to Senior, this junior has just stepped onto the Starry Sky Ranking."

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Jing Jiangsan suddenly felt a buzzing in his brain. He was completely stunned.
