Xiong Xingteng and Rong He glanced at Pang Qi as Mo Wuji used facts to prove that his judgement was accurate. However, their Brother Qi seemed to have too much trust in Jing Danwu as he completely disregarded Mo Wuji's previous words.
The two of them saw that Pang Qi had no intention of mentioning the Jing Clan so they sighed in their hearts and didn't say anything else.
Chu Qianlou was poisoned so Mo Wuji and co. could only stay behind to accompany her.
After a day, Chu Qianlou's poison was completely gone just like what Mo Wuji had said and she regained her strength.
"Sister Chu, since you've recovered, we shall take our leave now," Mo Wuji took the initiative to bid farewell to Chu Qianlou after she recovered her strength.
This was an internal matter of the Chu Clan so he had already done his best by saving Chu Qianlou and waiting for her poison to be completely gone.
Chu Qianlou bowed towards Mo Wuji and said with a slightly hoarse voice, "Wuji, I know you're not an ordinary person. I beg you to accompany me to the Chu Clan so that I can bring Zi Han out. "
Mo Wuji's face turned ugly as he didn't want to be involved in such matters.
Chu Qianlou could tell that Mo Wuji was in a difficult position so she hurried to say, "Qiu He's betrayal definitely wasn't because of himself but because the other members of the Chu Clan wanted to seize power so he should still be loyal to the Chu Clan. I'm very clear of the Chu Clan's strength and I'm the strongest so I'm not a threat to them. I only want to bring Zi Han away. I know that you're more experienced than me and your judgement is also better than mine so I'm not going to invite you but … "
Chu Qianlou couldn't continue but Mo Wuji understood what she meant. She was worried that the Chu Clan would use some underhanded tricks to trap her once again.
Mo Wuji was speechless as he knew that he was a cunning person in Madam Chu's eyes. What else could he do? Who asked him to be weak? If he was truly strong, he wouldn't want to kill that True Lake Stage cultivator. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to use his own strength to suppress the opponent?
Mo Wuji believed Chu Qianlou when she said that there wasn't an expert in the Chu Clan that could threaten her. If the Chu Clan really had an expert that could kill Chu Qianlou in a second, they wouldn't have spent so much effort to poison her.
As for the fact that Qiu He was loyal to the Chu Clan, Mo Wuji just chuckled. For a fella like Qiu He who could betray Chu Qianlou and no one in the Chu Clan could control him, why would he be loyal to the Chu Clan? It was just that Mo Wuji could not understand the reason behind his betrayal.
"After this, no matter what, I will go with you to the Star Battlefield. I can find someone to help you apply for the Universal Peak Token … "Chu Qianlou said sincerely.
Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Universal Peak Token? This is the Universal Board points token? We've already entered the Star Wars Battlefield, why can't we get a universal token? "
"Brother Mo, even though the Universal Peak Token can be made, it would be slightly troublesome. Firstly, one's background was investigated, then one's cultivation level. There were even some tests before one could apply for a Universal Peak Token. For example, if Sister Chu used the normal method to make a universal token, it would be written as Zhen Mo City, Chu Clan, Chu Qianlou. For those like us who cannot reveal our identities, we do not intend to apply for a universal peak token after entering the Star Wars Battlefield, "Pang Qi explained.
There were very few people who did not apply for a universal peak token before entering the Star Wars Battlefield. This was because the points of the Universal Board were on the universal peak token. Without a universal peak token, one would not be able to accumulate points and would only be able to reap some temporary benefits.
Mo Wuji thought of his Rogue Cultivator 2705 and sighed in his heart. How could he not have a universal peak token? Without a universal peak token, how would he be able to enter the Universal Board? Without being able to enter the Universal Board, he would not be able to complete the deal with that old fisherman.
He believed that if he dared to throw that old fisherman to one side and pretend that he had forgotten about that fella's instructions, it wouldn't take long before his head would be hooked off by that old fisherman.
However, he could not tell the truth about his origins because if the people from the Star King Mountain knew that he, Mo Wuji, was here, his head might appear in the territory of the Star King Mountain's Xia Clan.
"Sister Chu, because I offended someone, I am indeed unable to use my origins to apply for a universal peak token. Indeed, I am unable to use my own identity to apply for the Universal Peak Token, so I have to trouble Chu. "Mo Wuji clasped his fists and thanked him.
By saying this, it was equivalent to agreeing to Chu Qianlou's request to head to the Chu Clan.
Chu Qianlou also said apologetically, "I should have helped you apply for this universal peak token but I really could not leave Zi Han behind …"
Noticing that Mo Wuji was looking at him, Pang Qi immediately said, "Brother Mo, since we have decided to head to the Star Wars Battlefield together, I will naturally follow Brother Mo to the Chu Clan."
…
The reason why Chu Prefecture was so famous was because of the rise of the Chu Clan. It was said that a long time ago, the Chu Clan even produced a Worldly Immortal Stage expert and even more True God Stage experts.
However, more than a hundred years ago, the few True God Stage experts of the Chu Clan all perished in a huge battle in the Star Wars Battlefield. Thereafter, the Chu Clan gradually declined. Eight years ago, the Chu Clan's Patriarch, Chu Lin, was killed outside the Chu Prefecture City. Chu Lin's only son, Chu Zhiyuan, wanted to take revenge for his father and travelled to the Star Wars Battlefield to learn some skills. However, reality was always crueler than dreams. Chu Zhiyuan did not even stay in the Star Wars Battlefield for a year before he perished there.
After Chu Zhiyuan perished, the Chu Clan completely lost its leader. Fortunately, the Chu Clan's widow, Chu Qianlou, supported the crumbling Chu Clan and after close to ten years of hard work, the Chu Clan's reputation as the number one clan in Chu Prefecture did not fall.
When Mo Wuji and co. arrived at the outskirts of Chu Prefecture, someone immediately recognised Chu Qianlou.
Seeing that the cultivator who recognised her dashed into Hua Zhou City, Chu Qianlou's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. If it was any other time, those cultivators would have bowed to her upon seeing her. This was because no matter how much Chu Prefecture fell, the Chu Clan was still the number one clan here. And she, Chu Qianlou, was the temporary leader of the Chu Clan.
Now, she finally understood that even though she had the word Chu and was the Chu Clan's Patriarch's daughter-in-law, no one treated her as a member of the Chu Clan.
As they entered Chu Prefecture, Mo Wuji shook his head slightly. He had been to many cultivation cities and this Chu Prefecture City was considered the worst.
The energy gathering array at the periphery could not increase the density of spiritual energy in Chu Prefecture and the streets and shops in the city looked rather dilapidated. Thinking back to the Heaven's Gate City which he built single-handedly, he could almost destroy this Chu Prefecture in a second.
Pang Qi also saw cultivators entering the city and subconsciously took out his magic treasure.
Chu Qianlou shook her head, "I am safe and sound now so they wouldn't dare to make a move. What they want is the Chu Clan's authority and I will give it to them. We can just go to the Chu Clan to discuss the conditions."
Chu Prefecture City was dilapidated but the Chu Clan still looked very imposing.
As though they knew that Chu Qianlou was back, the main doors were already opened and other than the cultivators guarding the two sides, no one came out to welcome her.
Mo Wuji scanned the place with his spiritual will and found out that the Chu Clan's defensive array could barely be considered as an intermediate grade defensive array. This intermediate grade defensive array was not set up for a long time and it was at most less than 30 years old. Even though this defensive array contained some killing array. Mo Wuji did not even put it in his eyes.
Chu Qianlou did not hesitate as she was the first to enter the Chu Clan's main door.
The main hall in the middle of the Chu Clan was already filled with people. On the Chu Clan's Patriarch's seat was an elderly man. Beside this elderly man was a middle aged man and Mo Wuji recognised this man as he was the Steward Qiu who appeared with Chu Qianlou in the Lost Sky Ruins previously.
Chu Qianlou looked at the seat which was supposed to be hers and said coldly, "Chu Ji, since you want to be the Chu Clan's Patriarch, why don't you take the initiative to say it? Why do you have to be so despicable?"
From the start to the end, she did not even look at Steward Qiu.
"Chu Qianlou, you shameless slut. Do you think that just because you have the word Chu on your head, you are a member of the Chu Clan? Even though the Chu Clan has declined, we don't need a woman to stand on our heads and tell us what to do. Scram, the Chu Clan does not need you to bring your wild man in. " Before the elderly man who was sitting at the head of the table could say anything, a man with a protruding mouth and monkey-like cheeks shouted.
Chu Qianlou was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Suddenly, she opened her palm and a ray of light shot out. The man who was still shouting was pierced through his forehead and blood burst out.
The elderly man who was sitting at the head of the table, Chu Ji, suddenly stood up as he pointed at Chu Qianlou and said sternly, "Chu Qianlou, my Chu Clan does not care what happens between you and other men. Your Chu is not the Chu of my Hua Continent's Chu Clan but you actually dared to kill someone in my Hua Continent's Chu Clan … "
As he spoke, Chu Ji slammed the table in front of him. Following which, Mo Wuji and co. heard a series of 'ka ka' sounds. Pang Qi and co. quickly took out their weapons and looked around cautiously.
This was obviously the sign of the trap array being opened to trap everyone.
Seeing that the trap array of the Chu Clan had been opened, Chu Ji's face finally calmed down as he turned to Steward Qiu and said, "Steward Qiu, just now, Chu Qianlou killed someone in my Chu Clan and only you could stop her. Why didn't you do anything?"
Steward Qiu did not even bother about Chu Ji as he walked down and said gently to Chu Qianlou, "Yesterday, when Ge Xin did not bring you back, I already knew that I was the one who did it. I'm sorry Qianlou, I really like you too much and I am unable to control my feelings. Every day, I am tormented by these thoughts. Every time, I would fantasize about you snuggling by my side … "
Chu Qianlou took a few steps back as she pointed at Steward Qiu and said in disbelief, "Qiu He, you're so shameless …"
Qiu He's gaze became even more gentle, "What capabilities does Chu Zhiyuan have to have such an outstanding woman like you? Follow me, the Chu Clan's decline is already set in stone so why are you still wasting your time here? "
Chu Qianlou looked at Qiu He in shock as she finally understood why a Nihility God Stage expert would stay in the Chu Clan as a steward. This Qiu He must have been coveting her for a long time but fortunately, she was not any weaker than Qiu He which was why he did not have the chance to make a move on her.
Chu Qianlou looked at Chu Ji with a pitiful gaze. Since he did not have the capabilities and was just a collateral relative of the Chu Clan, why would he covet the position of the Chu Clan Head? Others might think that she, Chu Qianlou, was holding onto this position and did not want to leave but in reality, she did not want this position for a long time. If she could, she would rather bring Zi Han away from the Chu Clan.
"Where is Zi Han?" Chu Qianlou did not respond to Qiu He's words but asked coldly.
