Lu Shan's voice came from outside the curtain.

"What is it?"

“I have heard that the Lord of Wentian Tower is omniscient and possesses extraordinary abilities. Even a giant like the Cangyu Holy Land was destroyed by you with a wave of your hand. I am currently facing some difficulties. If you can lend me your help, I am willing to offer you a copy of the Samsara Bible.”

As Gu Han spoke, he kowtowed deeply.

A dull thud sounded, and his forehead was already slightly red. He had hit the floor with great force, leaving marks on the floor.

"explain."

When dealing with outsiders, Lu Shan is always taciturn; in his own words, this is called mysterious and unpredictable, with a very deep mind.

Gu Han was overjoyed to hear that there was hope.

Then, he began to speak slowly.

Gu Han.

The Gu family of Lingnan.

With the Qinling Mountains as the dividing line, the Gu family to the south is a prominent and prestigious family, and Gu Han's lineage is the undisputed head of the Gu family. Originally, the Gu family was safe and sound, and under the leadership of Gu Han's father, Gu Chenghong, the Gu family's foundation was thriving.

In just a few years, they became the leading family south of the Qinling Mountains, overwhelming the second-ranked power.

Strangely enough, just a few days ago, some of the Gu family's main relatives died mysteriously one after another. Then, this evil wind seemed to have spread to Gu Han's father, Gu Chenghong, who is now seriously ill and on the verge of death.

The Gu family was filled with anxiety.

Then, after accidentally hearing about the existence of the Wentian Tower, he sent Gu Han over and presented the clan's sacred treasure, the Reincarnation Bible, as a reward.

However, Lu Shan did not readily agree at this time. But the Bible of Reincarnation was really attractive, so he asked Gu Han to wait a moment while he went to discuss it with Zhou Mu. After receiving a positive reply from the latter, he happily ran in.

Lifting the curtain and standing in front of Gu Han, Gu Han looked up and was shocked to see that the legendary Lord of Wentian Tower was the same person he had seen earlier.

Lu Shan helped Gu Han up, patted the latter's shoulder, and tucked the Reincarnation Bible he was holding into his pocket with a smile, saying, "Don't worry, I'll send someone with you. If they can't solve the problem, I'll return this Reincarnation Bible to you with both hands."

Han Fei was already standing at the door.

Gu Han nodded, tears welling up in his eyes with emotion.

...

The Lingnan region is even more desolate than Tian Shu County. The strongest person there, who is also the one in actual control, has not even reached the level of a saint; he is merely a minor martial artist at the Divine Treasure Realm.

Sending Han Fei along is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

They thought it was a sure thing, but that evening, bad news came through.

Han Fei made a mistake and was secretly and seriously injured.

When Zhou Mu saw Han Fei, his snow-white clothes were already stained with blood, and his previous imposing aura had completely disappeared, leaving only a listless air.

Zhou Mu was unusually angry.

Two consecutive failures clearly indicate that someone is targeting him.

However, he did not show it in front of everyone.

In the dark room, Zhou Mu and Lu Shan sat on the floor, both with solemn expressions, especially Zhou Mu, whose face was so gloomy that he could hardly contain himself.

Lu Shan's expression was also unreadable. He reluctantly took out the Bible of Reincarnation, his eyes filled with longing, but as a man of his word, he had no choice but to take the Bible away.

“Alright, what should we do next? As far as I know, the reputation of Wentian Tower has plummeted in the outside world. The prestige it gained by destroying Cangyu Holy Land is almost gone.” Zhou Mu said.

The moment he spoke, he set the tone for the conversation.

Lu Shan said with some concern, "I think we should first figure out who was behind these two incidents."

Zhou Mu nodded in agreement.

"However, who should investigate this matter?"

"With the crystal ball here, do we need to worry?" Lu Shan chuckled and took out the crystal ball that was shimmering with blue lightning.

Zhou Mu still looked at Lu Shan with a smile on his face.

Lu Shan asked in confusion, "The way you look..."

Zhou Mu naturally knew that using the power of the Asking Heaven Tower would come at a price, and clearly, he didn't want to pay that price.

It wasn't that I wanted to be lazy or greedy; I just wanted Lu Shan to bleed a little.

After all, Lu Shan had taken all the benefits these past few times, and he wouldn't feel comfortable unless he made Lu Shan give them all back.

The two stared at each other for a long time, but in the end Lu Shan gave in and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll do it."

However, Lu Shan had a way. He made a small cut on his little finger, and then a drop of blood dripped onto the crystal ball.

Suddenly, the blue crystal ball, which was shimmering with lightning, flashed with a dazzling light. Then, a light screen descended, displaying only a few words: Eastern Divine Continent, Phantom Pavilion.

Upon seeing the words "Eastern Divine Continent," Zhou Mu's brows immediately furrowed. "The Eastern Divine Continent is a continent that ranks among the top in the Nine Provinces. Like the Great Qin Domain, it is ruled by a unified force. Legend has it that the Domain King of the Eastern Divine Continent has already reached the level of a Great Emperor..."

"But... what does this have to do with them? And what exactly is this Phantom Pavilion?"

Zhou Mu couldn't understand it and kept scratching his head.

Lu Shan, standing to the side, also looked puzzled. After watching for a while, he suddenly froze, stood up abruptly, his eyes widened, and stared blankly at Zhou Mu. He took a few breaths before hurriedly saying:

"That... that Phantom Pavilion, is the assassin organization that suddenly appeared not long ago, doing the same things as the Black Ice Platform. After all, quite a few new forces are established every year, but only a very few can make it to the end, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now it seems that the Phantom Pavilion is related to the Eastern Divine Continent."

After saying that, Lu Shan had calmed down.

After glancing at Zhou Mu, he continued, "At first, I had someone investigate. It turns out that the Phantom Pavilion was just an empty box, and the pavilion master was a mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy..."

But once this is connected to the Eastern Divine Continent, then everything makes sense.

The Eastern Divine Continent is said to be a power with a Great Emperor-level martial artist in charge. Even if the entire Desolate Heaven Domain were to unite, they probably wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on the Eastern Divine Continent.

Compared to the previous Great Qin Domain, it is only stronger, not weaker.

Zhou Mu understood at that moment.

After all that, it turns out this was a proxy war.

The Phantom Pavilion marked the beginning of the Eastern Divine Continent's intervention in the Desolate Heaven Domain.

After all, the Desolate Heaven Domain, without a unified force, is like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others, whoever comes can have a bite.

Zhou Mu took a deep breath, his expression grave, and said, "This door absolutely cannot be opened, otherwise, we're afraid we won't have any peace in the future."
