If Liu Yurou were here, she would definitely know who Sun Tian is. He Child of Destiny who met Qing Mo and Liu Yurou in that small world and escaped from Liu Yurou's clutches!
It was because Qing Mo foresaw from the River of Time that Sun Tian would obtain that half of the Jade Pendant that Qing Mo spared his life and the life of the remnant soul within him!
Otherwise, with their limited skills, let alone escaping from the Lesser Thousand Worlds to the Middle Thousand World, even if you ran to the Divine Realm or the Holy Realm, Qing Mo could still easily capture you and bring you back!
Even so, the moment Yun Xiaotian and his brothers saw Yueji attack the old man surnamed Wu in the Recording Stone, they concluded that Yueji was the murderer who killed those old men!
However, the Recording Stone only captured a glimpse of Yueji's appearance, and Yun Xiaotian and the others could not discern Yueji's cultivation level. Nevertheless, he and Hao Jinghong still planned to seek revenge on Yueji!
And so Qing Mo and his group continued their journey on the Crimson Spirit Continent, while Yun Xiaotian, the Child of Destiny, and his brothers cultivated to improve their realms, and at the same time, they had Hao Jinghong's family investigate the Yueji inside the Recording Stone to see if they could find her!
Several months passed, Qing Mo and his group traveled around and eventually arrived near Cloud Thunder City. Before that, they encountered some strange things!
On several occasions, seemingly normal men approached Mo Yanyu, Cang Lanyue, and Yueji, and if they weren't careful, Yueji men would attack them!
Even worse, some of them opened their mouths wide and tried to bite down on the necks of Yueji and the other two, but the moment they made their move, Yueji and the other two were faster than them, sending their attackers to their deaths!
After making some inquiries, I discovered that a kind of evil practice had recently started circulating, and quite a few people had practiced it!
Although this evil technique can help people break through to higher realms more quickly, it can often unleash combat power one or two times stronger than usual during battles.
However, once someone has practiced this evil art, it will cause them to develop a bloodlust. The longer and deeper they practice, the stronger the craving becomes. In particular, the blood of young women is a great tonic for those who have practiced this evil art!
Moreover, people who have practiced this evil art cannot be detected by ordinary means, and no matter how carefully they examine it with their divine sense or use any kind of elixir, it will be of no use!
The only way to know if someone has practiced this evil art is to react the instant they make their move, or to rely on the help of a formation!
They heard that Cloud Thunder City had set up an array that could identify whether someone had practiced evil arts, so Qing Mo and the others decided to go and see how they used the array to identify them!
In fact, when Yueji and the others first encountered the attack, Qing Mo noticed the subtle differences between those who practiced evil arts and ordinary cultivators!
But even if he knew, what could he do?
Qing Mo wasn't the kind of person with a grand sense of righteousness, and she wouldn't casually tell everyone about the subtle differences she had discovered. Anyway, at the time, Mo Yanyu heard that someone could distinguish them using arrays!
She then suggested to Qing Mo that they come over here to take a look, since she had also been learning the art of formations from Qing Mo, and she was not yet confident in fully inscribing a recognizable formation!
At this moment, Qing Mo and his two companions arrived at the gate of Cloud Thunder City and found that the city was heavily guarded, with many guards holding weapons and watching those who were about to enter the city!
Moreover, there is a formation pattern on the ground beneath the main gate that is emitting a faint blue light. Everyone entering the city must pass through the formation to ensure there are no problems before they can enter!
If the faint light emitted by the formation turns red, it means that the person has practiced evil arts. The guards will swarm and capture him, or if the person resists too fiercely, they will be sent away on the spot!
After Qing Mo and the other three paid the spirit stones to enter the city, Qing Mo glanced casually at the formation under her feet, her eyes full of disdain. Mo Yanyu also shook her head slightly in disappointment after taking a closer look at the formation.
Mo Yanyu initially thought it was some kind of effective formation, but after a while, she realized that she had already considered this formation before. However, after using the " An Instant, Ten Thousand Years " method to deduce it herself, she found that the formation still had significant flaws!
However, Mo Yanyu's slight head-shaking when she saw the formation, and the hint of disdain that flashed in Qing Mo's eyes, were noticed by a girl not far away!
The girl immediately approached Qing Mo and the others, and then questioned them, "Why did you shake your heads and show disdain when you looked at the formation set up by my master?"
Do you know how much effort my master put into setting up this formation that can detect whether someone has practiced evil arts?
Upon hearing the girl's words, everyone present was immediately drawn to her. Some immediately recognized her as Han Qingxia, the closed-door disciple of the Third Elder of the Array Pavilion!
Upon hearing this, Mo Yanyu immediately retorted, "This formation is rather crude and cannot effectively detect whether someone who passes through it has practiced that kind of evil art!"
Upon hearing Mo Yanyu's words, Han Qingxia immediately rebuked, "How dare you! What do you know? This formation was developed by my master, Lu Baize, the Third Elder of the Array Pavilion, who spent a year working day and night to research it!"
How could you possibly understand my master's good intentions? Come with me right now to apologize to my master, or don't blame me for being impolite!
After hearing Han Qingxia's words, the people around started to discuss among themselves. Some began to whisper and criticize Mo Yanyu and the others for pretending to know what they were talking about and for deliberately slandering the formation that Lu Baize had set up for everyone!
"I think this kind of person just wants to use Master Lu's name to make a name for himself!"
"Indeed! Master Lu is such a good person! To protect Cloud Thunder City from those who practice evil arts, he spent a year painstakingly setting up this formation!"
"That's right, that's right! How can such a good person as Master Lu be slandered like this!"
Hearing the words of those around her, Mo Yanyu also became somewhat angry. She immediately said to Han Qingxia, "This kind of lousy formation actually takes a year to complete? And they still have the nerve to call themselves formation masters!"
I can figure out and set this up in one night, and you expect us to apologize to him? That's a joke!
"You're not even good enough at your own skills, yet you expect others to criticize you? Third Elder of the Array Pavilion, what a temper you have!"
Hearing Mo Yanyu's words, Han Qingxia was so angry that her face turned red. She immediately unleashed the spiritual power of the late stage of the Divine Bridge Realm and pressed down on Qing Mo and the others in full view of everyone!
However, Qing Mo was watching the scene with great interest. The past few months had been rather boring for him, so today he decided to be a transparent person and watch the show!
Before the spiritual pressure could even touch Qing Mo and the others, Mo Yanyu immediately flashed in front of them and blocked their Qing Mo. With a simple wave of her hand, she dispersed the spiritual pressure released by Han Qingxia!
Qing Mo led Cang Lanyue and Yueji to a nearby place to sit down. Then, Qing Mo crossed his legs, took out a pack of Huazi from his storage ring, lit one, and quietly became a spectator!
Da Bai also lay down at Qing Mo's feet, and Yinzi from Qing Mo's sleeve peeked out with its little head. While the others were not paying attention, it also planned to watch the show!
Mo Yanyu said in a deep voice, "Little brat, you want to hit me after just a few words?"
Didn't you say your master's formation could detect those who practiced evil arts?
Then why are there three people who have practiced evil arts among the crowd gathered here in the city?
Upon hearing Mo Yanyu's words, the onlookers instantly became agitated, especially Han Qingxia, who roared, "Impossible! My master's formation would never malfunction!"
Mo Yanyu simply smiled slightly, then looked at a middle-aged man in the crowd, pointed at him, and said, "You're one of them, right?"
Those who were originally standing next to the middle-aged man immediately distanced themselves from him. After all, that kind of evil skill had been gaining too much attention recently, so they preferred to believe it was true rather than not!
The middle-aged man that Mo Yanyu was pointing at looked angry. He immediately scolded Mo Yanyu, "Don't make false accusations. I have never practiced that kind of evil skill!"
"Besides, the formation clearly didn't react at all when I entered the city. You're slandering me!"
Mo Yanyu then said, "Never practiced it? What a coincidence! Although I haven't yet figured out how to perfectly detect the formation!"
However, driven by my curiosity, I actually figured out a formation that could make people who had practiced evil arts exhibit the side effects of those arts more quickly!
If you truly haven't practiced that evil art, I'll set up that formation right now. You just need to stand inside for half a quarter of an hour, and I'll be able to tell whether you've practiced that evil art or not!
The middle-aged man shouted even louder, "Absurd! What if you've set up some kind of harmful formation? Wouldn't I become a sitting duck if I went in?"
I could not possibly be bewitched by you, nor have I ever practiced any evil arts!
After saying that, the middle-aged man angrily turned and left, but Mo Yanyu had no intention of letting him get away with it so easily. Mo Yanyu immediately took action against the middle-aged man!
When the latter sensed something was wrong behind him, he immediately activated his spiritual power to fight against Mo Yanyu. However, even though he unleashed the strength of the early stage of the Divine Power Realm, he was knocked to the ground by Mo Yanyu in just a few moves!
Mo Yanyu then temporarily sealed his internal energy and spiritual power, dragging him back. Only then did the others realize that Mo Yanyu was also a master, and even a cultivator in the early stage of the Divine Power Realm could not last more than two moves against her!
As Mo Yanyu dragged him away, the middle-aged man kept shouting, "Is there no law in Cloud Thunder City? How dare someone slander someone without even knowing the facts!"
Moreover, they even forced people to attack! Immortal Maiden! Isn't Cloud Thunder City under the jurisdiction of the Array Pavilion? As the closed-door disciple of the Third Elder of the Array Pavilion, are you just going to turn a blind eye? Are you just going to watch others commit violence?
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Han Qingxia, mindful of the reputation of the Array Pavilion, immediately said to Mo Yanyu, "Quickly let him go! I saw that the array didn't react at all when he passed through the city gate!"
This proves that he has never practiced that kind of evil skill. Your arbitrary actions without distinguishing right from wrong show that you don't respect our Array Pavilion!"
Mo Yanyu threw the middle-aged man back into the open space inside the city gate. Seeing this, Han Qingxia gritted her teeth in anger and immediately wanted to take action to save the man from Mo Yanyu!
However, considering that the middle-aged man was only at the early stage of the Divine Power Realm, he couldn't even last two moves against Mo Yanyu before being dragged back like a dead dog!
With his current strength at the late stage of the Divine Bridge Realm, charging in would be no different from offering himself up as food. If the opponent didn't hold back, he might be finished in a single move!
Left with no other option, Han Qingxia took out a communication jade talisman from her storage ring and informed Lu Baize of what had happened at the city gate. She assured him that as long as Lu Baize arrived with the people from the Array Pavilion, they would be able to capture Mo Yanyu and her group!
At this moment, Mo Yanyu didn't mind Han Qingxia's little tricks at all. She immediately took out an unmarked array plate from her storage ring and began to mark it in front of everyone!
Just as Han Qingxia was scoffing at Mo Yanyu's behavior, she became increasingly alarmed, because she saw that Mo Yanyu's technique for inscribing the array seemed to be even better than her master's!
Moreover, in less than a quarter of an hour, Mo Yanyu had already used her spiritual power to inscribe dense array patterns on the empty array plate!
It should be noted that Lu Yubai is a sixth-grade array master. Even if he is undisturbed and concentrates on inscribing the array patterns required for the array on the empty array plate, it will take him at least half an hour!
There was still a lot of noise around Mo Yanyu, as well as shouts from the middle-aged man beside her, and she was able to depict this situation much faster than her master!
Just as Mo Yanyu was inscribing the array patterns, Lu Yubai, who was engrossed in studying array formations in the secret chamber, received a message from Han Qingxia. He was both gratified and troubled by this closed-door disciple!
What's gratifying is the other party's talent in array formations, but what's troublesome is that the other party likes to report everything, big or small, to me using a sound transmission jade talisman, and I can't just ignore it!
The very next day, she dared to run to the place where you were in seclusion researching formations, making a ruckus and disturbing your peace all day long. Just think of what this exceptionally talented disciple had done to you back then!
Lu Baize smiled helplessly. He had shamelessly begged this person to become his disciple, and now he had no choice but to spoil and protect him!
Lu Baize then picked up the communication jade talisman beside him, intending to listen to what his troublesome little apprentice was up to this time. But after hearing the last part, he hurriedly burst out of the door!
After Mo Yanyu finished inscribing the array plate at the city gate, she placed several top-grade spirit stones inside, and the array was activated, enveloping the middle-aged man within it!
Mo Yanyu then looked at the middle-aged man whose eyes were filled with anger, murderous intent, and a hint of worry, ignoring the meaning in his eyes!
He then said softly, "Half a quarter of an hour, just half a quarter of an hour will be enough to know whether you have practiced that evil art!"
If you truly haven't practiced that kind of evil art, I apologize to you and will even draw a formation for you free of charge, according to your request.
Just as everyone was waiting, Lu Baize flew swiftly from the depths of Cloud Thunder City. He immediately came to Han Qingxia's side and asked, "Disciple, where is the person you mentioned?"
