        Black Dragon watched Mo Wenjie and his consorts, feeling countless emotions in his heart. My fellow sworn brother, you really have won the lottery of life! You are excellent in every aspect, and even in attracting beautiful women, you are invincible! Huang Ling'er is the princess, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Ya Wen, Ding Yan, Tuobacai Yingying, Qin Xiao Die are all from wealthy families. Who can compete with such a good fortune?

    As Black Dragon secretly grinded his teeth, suddenly there was a strange movement in the sky. Thick clouds rolled in, and it seemed as if there were thunder snakes flashing within them. Everyone's expression changed, and Mo Wenjieprotected the women behind him.

    "Humph, Mo Wenjie, today is your death day," a sinister voice echoed from the clouds.

    It turned out that this was a magical cultivator who had offended Mo Wenjie in the past, and he had come to seek revenge. As he waved his hands, several black magical energies shot towards Mo Wenjie and the others.

    However, Mo Wenjie remained calm and composed, muttering under his breath and emitting a layer of golden radiance from his body. He effortlessly deflected the magical energy attack. Then he roared loudly, summoning a magical artifact, which instantly grew in size and charged towards the malevolent magical cultivator in the clouds.

    Black Dragon saw this and no longer stayed idle. He flashed his figure and joined the battle. "Brother, how can I let you face this alone?" Together, they fought the malevolent magical cultivator for a while, causing him to retreat in a steady manner.

    However, the malevolent magical cultivator suddenly took out a piece of magical crystal and swallowed it, significantly increasing his strength. He retaliated vigorously. At the critical moment, Mo Wenjie's consorts chanted in unison, infusing their spiritual power into Mo Wenjie's body. This allowed him to once again unleash a formidable power and decisively defeat the malevolent magical cultivator. Black Dragon witnessed this scene and marveled once again at how fortunate Mo Wenjie had been.

    Mo Wenjie looked at Huang Ling'er and the others, feeling an immense sense of gratitude. They had stood by him without abandon and helped him at every turn. It seemed that it was not impossible for them to carve out a piece of territory together; it was just a matter of time!

    Mo Wenjie took a deep breath and addressed the women: "Thanks to you all this time, we will definitely have to work even harder in the future to improve our strength." The women nodded in agreement.

    However, at that very moment, a melodious bell rang from afar. The crowd's expressions turned confused, and Black Dragon spoke in a deep voice: "This bell sound is peculiar; something significant might be happening."

    Mo Wenjie's eyes sharpened: "Regardless, we should go and see." With that, the group flew towards the direction of the bell sound.

    Shortly later, they saw an ancient city appearing before them, emitting a mysterious aura. As soon as they got close to the city, an invisible force pulled them in.

    The sight inside the city left everyone shocked, with strange spiritual plants and sparkling treasures everywhere. However, Mo Wenjie was well aware that there is no such thing as a free meal in this world.

    Suddenly, many puppet guards surged out and attacked them. Mo Wenjie shouted, "Be careful everyone, let's first find the center of this formation to break it." The group quickly formed a circle with their backs to each other, preparing to meet this unexpected crisis.

    Black Dragon saw Mo Wenjie and the others standing back to back, looking fierce, and it felt very reassured. Suddenly, Black Dragon soared into the sky and loudly shouted: "Brother Mo, my dear sisters, you all rest for a while. Let big brother help you solve these worthless things!"

    Black Dragon's entire body was enveloped in a burst of black radiance, and he spat out blazing flames, instantly turning the few puppet guards that charged forward into ashes. The remaining puppet guards showed no fear and continued to swarm towards them.

    Black Dragon snorted coldly, and his massive tail swept out, striking the puppet horde like a black iron column. After a loud crackling sound, many of the puppets were scattered to pieces. However, more and more puppets kept pouring in, seemingly endless.

    Mo Wenjie saw the situation and shouted, "Brother, these puppets seem to be driven by the city's spiritual power. To destroy them, we need to disrupt their power source." Black Dragon listened and his eyes brightened as he charged towards the high tower in the center of the city that emitted a strong spiritual energy pulse.

    Just as Black Dragon was about to reach the tower, a transparent shield suddenly appeared. He crashed into the shield, bouncing back. Mo Wenjie and the others quickly flew over to Black Dragon's side. Huang Ling'er said: "It seems that brute force won't work. We need to find a way to break through the shield." The women all agreed. Mo Wenjie carefully examined the runes around the tower and suddenly brightened up, as if he had thought of a solution.

    Mo Wenjie said, "Don't worry, I've noticed that this shield formation is a knock-off of the real Jiǔqǔ Huánghú Array. If it were the real deal, we would be as good as dead. But since this is a knock-off, there's nothing to fear!"

    Huang Ling'er listened to Mo Wenjie's words and asked quickly, "What is the Jiǔqǔ Huánghú Array? Is it really that powerful?"

    Mo Wenjie nodded and said, "In the history of King Wu's conquest, the Three Storm Sisters laid down the Jiǔqǔ Huánghú Array, which instantly defeated the twelve Golden Immortals. It is evident that the disciples of Shǐ Yǐ tiānzū are not as powerful as those of Tōngtiān Jiàozhǔ. Although Bǎixī Xenian is a quasi-saint-level deity, he was helpless in front of the Jiǔqǔ Huánghú Array and could only escape from this array with the aid of Dìhǎi Zhū. Think about how powerful this Jiǔqǔ Huánghú Array is!"

    Upon hearing Mo Wenjie's words, Black Dragon was also greatly shocked. "Brother, if it's as you say, then isn't this array designed to trap us here and kill us?" Black Dragon asked.

    Mo Wenjie shook his head and said, "I've already told you, this Jiǔqǔ Huánghú Array is a knock-off. It won't harm us. Now, let me break it!"

    Following Mo Wenjie's instruction, everyone retreated. Mo Wenjie joined his hands and chanted: "Ancient yellow, five elements, changing shields, endless forms; the Three Supreme Rules, supreme and unparalleled; Jiǔqǔ Huánghú River, vast and boundless; Break it for me!"

    As Mo Wenjie's incantation concluded, the shield emanated a series of intense light waves, then shattered like glass, piece by piece. The crowd was overjoyed at the sight. Mo Wenjie flew towards the tower first, and everyone followed closely behind.

    As soon as they stepped into the tower's interior, a sudden powerful suction pulled them in different directions without warning. Mo Wenjie felt a blur and was suddenly in a dark space. At this moment, a low voice spoke: "Trespassers, how dare you intrude upon my territory."

    Mo Wenjie remained calm and replied loudly, "Sir, you have set up this imitation Jiǔqǔ Huánghú Array to block us. You must have ill intentions. Today, we must continue to explore the secrets of this place." The voice sneered coldly and soon, countless light spots appeared around them, transforming into attacks shooting towards Mo Wenjie. He quickly summoned his spiritual power and drew out his sword, deflecting each attack and shouted, "Whoever you are, today I will not let you stop me!"

    The hidden entity seemed to be angered by Mo Wenjie's resolute attitude, and the light points became even denser, shooting towards him. Mo Wenjie decided without hesitation, channeling even stronger spiritual energy from his sword, which formed a whirlwind of sword qi that shredded all the light points.

    Just at that moment, the surrounding space suddenly shook violently. A pair of huge eyes appeared in the darkness, emitting a cold and somber light. "Inferior being, this is just a little warning for you. This is my training ground, filled with boundless opportunities. You have no right to covet them."

    Mo Wenjie scoffed coldly: "Opportunities in this world should be taken by those who are worthy. You're greedy for trying to monopolize everything on your own." The eyes, full of disdain, replied, "Then see if you have the luck to take it." After speaking, a giant black claw emerged from the darkness, catching Mo Wenjie with overwhelming force. Mo Wenjie took a deep breath and his spiritual energy ran wild inside him. He turned into a beam of light and charged towards the claw. His sword was straight and aimed at the heart of the claw, and a thrilling battle unfolded.

    Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, and the others became worried. Although the Jiǔqǔ Huánghú Array was a knock-off, its power was indeed formidable and daunting. Luckily, Mo Wenjie knew how to break the formation; otherwise, they might have been trapped here to death!

    Mo Wenjie quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, sending out one spell after another towards the formation. The air inside the formation began to disarray, and the light within it fluctuated unsteadily. The person hidden in the shadows saw this and shouted angrily, "Youngster, dare to disturb my formation!" He then injected even more power into the array.

    Mo Wenjie's forehead was beaded with sweat, but his eyes were resolute. He took out a talisman and pasted it onto the tip of his sword, then forcefully swung it forward. A fierce golden light burst from the blade. "Break!" he shouted loudly, and the formation cracked and widened.

    Huang Ling'er and the others revealed surprised expressions on their faces. However, just as the formation was about to collapse, several iron chains suddenly shot out from the ground and locked onto Mo Wenjie's hands and feet. "Hmph, you think you can break my formation that easily?" The dark entity in the shadows coldly laughed.

    But Mo Wenjie showed no fear, and he forced his spiritual energy to run, emitting a brilliant white light from his entire body. The iron chains even began to show signs of breaking. At this moment, Huang Ling'er and the others also launched their spiritual energy in unison, aiming at the hidden entity's location to divert its attention.

    Mo Wenjie seized the opportunity, struggling to break free from the iron chains, and delivered a full-power strike to completely shatter the imitation Jiǔqǔ Huánghú Array.

    The dark eyes hidden in the shadows were filled with anger and resentment, yet he could only watch helplessly as they walked deeper.

    Black Dragon gave Mo Wenjie a thumbs up, saying, "Brother, you are awesome!"

    Huang Ling'er and the others couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with happiness. Having such a powerful man as their consort was truly something to be happy about!

    Mo Wenjie scratched his head and said, "Thanks to everyone's help, I couldn't have handled it alone." The group shared a smile in return.

    They continued to explore deeper. Suddenly, a huge stone door appeared in front of them, covered in runes. Mo Wenjie approached and examined it carefully, his brow furrowed, "These runes are very ancient and seem to contain a powerful restriction."

    As they were all struggling to think of a way to break through the door, Qin Xiao Di casually touched a stone beside her, causing the door to slowly open. Inside, there was a shining gold light, and a spiritual gem filled with dense vitality was suspended in mid-air.

    "Wow, that's a treasure!" Black Dragon exclaimed with wide eyes.

    Just as Mo Wenjie was about to reach out and grab the spiritual gem, the space around them twisted instantly, and countless illusions appeared, revealing it to be the final trap set by the person who had laid out the formation earlier.

    Mo Wenjie positioned Huang Ling'er and the others behind him, facing the illusions alone. He cast various spells, but there were more and more illusions. In an emergency moment, Mo Wenjie remembered a banned technique described in an ancient book. With a determined expression, he sealed his fate and cast it out. Suddenly, a burst of light filled the space, and the illusions disappeared. The spiritual gem also fell into Mo Wenjie's hands firmly.
