The black shadow was entirely enveloped in black robes, not even revealing its head. Although Chu Qianlou had never seen this black-clad figure, she immediately felt that the pair of eyes that had been watching her from behind belonged to this person.

She couldn't help but rejoice that she had called Mo Wuji, otherwise, she would have definitely stepped right into it, perhaps even landing on the black shadow. As for why Mo Wuji, whose cultivation was lower than hers, could see through it, she guessed that Mo Wuji should be more proficient in the Dao of Arrays than she was.

"Not bad, a mere Essence Core Realm cultivator can see through my grand array, you do have some tricks. So today I'll let you off, you can leave," the black shadow's voice was like the grating of stiff, sharp objects against each other, grating on one's teeth.

It's only when hidden in the shadows that it's truly terrifying. Now that she had finally seen the eyes behind her, Chu Qianlou had calmed down. "Is Your Excellency going to say that everyone else can leave, but I can't?"

The black shadow's teeth-grating voice came again, "That's right, you were born as a member of the Chu family, and you'll die as a ghost of the Chu family. You can only stay in the Chu family for the rest of your life."

Mo Wuji sneered, "But I don't intend to let you off, not just anyone can block my path. Sister Chu, go ahead and attack. This person was once a True God Realm cultivator, but now their strength is even inferior to yours, there's no need to worry."

Mo Wuji had seen many True God Realm cultivators, and he could sense that this black shadow had once been one. However, the black shadow's aura was chaotic and decaying, obviously greatly weakened. As for the grand array the black shadow spoke of, ha, was that even worthy of being called a grand array?

"But their trapping array..." Chu Qianlou said with some worry, the reason she wasn't afraid of the Chu family's trapping array was because she knew them inside and out. But she didn't know anything about this one.

Mo Wuji laughed, "They want me to leave because they're afraid of me. Just attack, there's no need to worry."

Mo Wuji wasn't talking nonsense. There were two trapping arrays and one illusion array here. One of the trapping arrays was in the air. Once they took out their flying ship here, they would definitely fall into a passive position. There was also a strangling trapping array; as soon as they attacked, this array would trap them, allowing others to manipulate them at will. As for the illusion array, it was to give the trapped cultivators a brief period of disorientation.

Of course, the level of this array was simply not worth mentioning in Mo Wuji's eyes. To those who didn't understand the Dao of Arrays, even if a True God Realm cultivator came, this trapping array plus illusion array could lock down the opponent for a while. Even if this time was short, the black shadow could use this time to severely injure or even kill the trapped person.

The reason the black shadow wanted Mo Wuji to leave was because Mo Wuji had stopped at the edge of his trapping array. This showed that Mo Wuji understood what kind of array it was, and he was somewhat wary of Mo Wuji.

"Alright!" Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Chu Qianlou didn't hesitate to summon her long sword and slash over.

Almost at the same time as Chu Qianlou attacked, Mo Wuji raised his hand and threw out dozens of array flags, and at the same time, he entered the trapping array himself, constantly shooting out array flags from his hand.

His inheritance of the Dao of Arrays was far stronger than that of the black shadow, and his research on the Dao of Arrays was more focused on breaking arrays and changing arrays because of Chu Xingzi being trapped.

He believed that he could use the array flags to change the trapping array while Chu Qianlou restrained the opponent. Once he changed the trapping array, the black shadow could only be captured.

Although Chu Qianlou was a woman, her swordsmanship was extremely fierce. Streaks of sword light exploded, instantly engulfing the shadow wrapped in black robes.

The black shadow didn't take out a magical treasure to deal with Chu Qianlou at the first moment, but instead took out a handful of array flags, just like Mo Wuji. He knew that to take Chu Qianlou away, it was absolutely impossible without using the trapping and killing array. He was too clear about Chu Qianlou's strength.

But when his array flags landed on the spot where Mo Wuji had already changed the array foundation, like mud entering the sea, he knew that although his cultivation was far stronger than Mo Wuji's, his Dao of Arrays was far inferior to Mo Wuji's. Before the Dao of Arrays had even begun to fight, he was already at an absolute disadvantage.

If he didn't leave now, he would never be able to leave once Mo Wuji's trapping array closed in.

Several pieces of black clothing were torn apart by Chu Qianlou's sword light and fell to the ground. But at this moment, the black shadow disappeared without a trace, leaving only some unpleasant smell in the original place.

Mo Wuji stopped the array flags in his hand, and he felt a little regret in his heart. If Chu Qianlou's strength was a little stronger, and could hold the opponent back for a little more time, he would definitely be able to keep this person. Failing to keep this black shadow meant that he had another powerful enemy hiding in the dark.

Raising his hand to put away the array flags, Mo Wuji said, "We can leave now."

No matter how many powerful enemies there were, as long as he could improve his own strength, that would be fine. In the final analysis, his strength was too weak.

Chu Qianlou silently put away her long sword, seeming to be in a bad mood.

"Sister Chu, that person seems to be from the Chu family, do you know that person?" Rong He asked from the side.

Chu Qianlou was silent for a while before saying, "Maybe I know them, I hope it's not him."

She was indeed very shocked that the black-clad man who had just left was very similar to Chu Lin. Chu Lin was her father-in-law, wasn't he already dead? This was really too strange for her.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Chu Qianlou perked up her spirits and said to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, if I hadn't called you this time, I guess I would have been taken to the Chu family again, and I would never have had a chance to turn the tables."

Mo Wuji could see that Chu Qianlou was in a bad mood, and smiled and said, "Let's not talk about these things, let's discuss how to enter the Starry Sky Battlefield."

Chu Qianlou forced herself to cheer up, "Let's go to Jiu Mo City first. From Jiu Mo City, you can take a teleportation array or a flying ship to the place closest to the Starry Sky Battlefield, Wind Xiao City."

……

Jiu Mo City was the largest cultivation city Mo Wuji had ever seen. Just standing outside the city, one could feel the city's grandeur and long history.

This city was obviously very old, but it didn't look dilapidated at all. Not only that, it also had a kind of heavy aura of time.

"Jiu Mo City is really prosperous and vast," Pang Qi couldn't help but sigh.

A cultivator beside Pang Qi heard Pang Qi's words and smiled slightly, "Actually, this is nothing. If you go to Wind Xiao City, friend, you will know what true vastness and grandeur are."

"Friend, have you been to Wind Xiao City?" Mo Wuji quickly asked, because they were also going to Wind Xiao City.

The cultivator nodded and said, "Yes, I've been there once. As long as you go to the Starry Sky Battlefield, you must pass through Wind Xiao City. After going to Wind Xiao City, you will feel what a kind of..."

He shook his head without finishing his sentence, "I can't say exactly, maybe you'll understand what I mean when you go there yourself."

After speaking, the cultivator quickened his pace and quickly entered Jiu Mo City.

Following behind Chu Qianlou, a group of people also entered Jiu Mo City. Outside Jiu Mo City, everyone felt the grandeur and vastness of Jiu Mo City. After entering Jiu Mo City, they realized that what they had seen was just the tip of the iceberg.

As soon as they entered the city, there were three huge array display steles standing on the ocean-like square. Among the cultivators coming and going around, Void God Realm cultivators seemed very common.

"These are the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings," Chu Qianlou explained when she saw Mo Wuji staring at the huge ranking steles in the square.

Mo Wuji nodded, "I've heard of them, those who can be on these three rankings are the strongest in True Mortal Continent."

"That's not necessarily true. The previous number one on the Human Ranking was not from True Mortal Continent. I heard that he was from the Lost Continent, and his name was also very strange, called San Xiu 2705 (Loose Cultivator 2705)," Chu Qianlou said from the side.

San Xiu 2705? Mo Wuji found it a bit funny. He hadn't even been to True Mortal Continent, but he had actually reached the top of the Human Ranking.

"That San Xiu 2705 should have defeated Gu Shaoyin before reaching the top of the Human Ranking, right?" Mo Wuji asked casually. He had heard Gu Shaoyin say that the other party was number one on the Human Ranking.

Chu Qianlou nodded, "Yes, but if this San Xiu 2705 comes to True Mortal Continent, he will definitely be very tragic."

"Why?" Mo Wuji asked in confusion.

Chu Qianlou looked around, and then said in a low voice, "I heard that San Xiu 2705's Dao Companion came to True Mortal Continent, but Xia Mu, the young master of the Star Battle Hall of Star Emperor Mountain, took a fancy to her. This woman is also fierce enough, she refused to go to Star Emperor Mountain and be harassed by Xia Mu, and directly entered the Starry Sky Battlefield."

"Cen Shuyin?" Mo Wuji frowned and said.

He knew that Xia Mu liked Cen Shuyin, but Cen Shuyin was not his Dao Companion at all. Others didn't know, couldn't Cen Shuyin explain herself?

"Her name is Cen Shuyin, although she entered the Starry Sky Battlefield. That Xia Mu didn't let go and followed her into the Starry Sky Battlefield. She has no relatives and no reason to stay, and with nowhere to escape, she actually entered one of the nine great forbidden areas of the Starry Sky Battlefield, the Thorny Wind Gate."
