At this moment, Jiang Jinyu also recovered and rushed over to Zhou Mu's side. She seemed to have just woken up and her limbs were still a little numb, so she almost fell.

Because she had just cried, her eyes were still red and swollen, making her look strangely cute.

"Xiao Mu, tell me, is what he said true?" Jiang Jinyu asked urgently.

He was referring, of course, to the phoenix perching on the tung tree.

Zhou Mu nodded helplessly.

Tears welled up in Jiang Jinyu's eyes, and she choked out, "Are you lying to me? You've been my only friend all my life..."

"Aren't we friends?" Feng Qitong was displeased upon hearing this.

Jiang Jinyu glanced at him. "You want to be friends with me?"

Feng Qitong understood the implied meaning, her expression changed slightly, and she quickly shook her head.

It is clear that Zhou Mu holds a significant place in Jiang Jinyu's heart, even occupying a certain position in her young heart.

"I don't have time to say goodbye to you all... Take care!"

As he spoke, Zhou Mu grew increasingly weak, his voice becoming light and airy, like that of a dying patient.

Even Feng Qitong, a seven-foot-tall man, couldn't help but have tears welling up in his eyes at this moment.

He admired Zhou Mu's righteousness and revered his unwavering, simple emotions. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Mu left a significant mark on his otherwise brilliant first half of life.

Feng Qitong may not become someone like Zhou Mu, but in the end, they will all become like Zhou Mu.

With Zhou Mu's disappearance, the 100,000 demon soldiers instantly vanished into nothingness. Jintian had squeezed out all their potential, to the point that the two merged into one.

They were all in the same boat, and now, with the fall of Jintian, the 100,000 demon soldiers could no longer control the surging spiritual power within them and all exploded and died.

Above the dim sky, it was like a brilliant firework, bringing a moment of dazzling brilliance.

With the demonic energy no longer surging, a ray of light slowly emerged from the dim sky. First, a small dot appeared, then the dot expanded infinitely, and finally the entire sky suddenly became bright.

The view is clear.

The land is rugged and crisscrossed, with deep abysses like knife scars. Within a hundred miles of Qingyun Peak, not a single living spirit beast can be seen.

Rivers have dried up, land is parched, mountains have been leveled, and the place is deathly still. Faint spiritual energy is slowly gathering, and the dominant force in this area is still the faint demonic energy.

Clearly, it will take hundreds of years for this place to regain its former fairyland-like scenery.

At this moment, without the influence of external environmental factors, the spiritual energy within Han Fei and the others flowed rapidly. In no time, their vitality was like that of newly sprouted bamboo shoots, full of positive and upward vigor.

Soon, the group opened their eyes and were somewhat incredulous at what they saw. The bewildered little Nezha was still rubbing his big eyes, looking like he hadn't woken up yet, and the purplish-black wounds all over his body were fading away at a visible speed.

Fang Yun, however, sensed something unusual.

Still weak from just waking up, he forced himself to stand up. Looking around, he noticed that the figure hadn't appeared for a long time, and a hint of panic instantly surfaced in the usually cold and aloof man.

He quickly looked at Feng Qitong, his tone as calm as ever, "Have you seen my master?"

But anyone could hear the anxiety in his words.

Feng Qitong shook her head, just as she was about to make up a white lie, when Lu Shan stood up with a roar, looking around warily and shouting, "Who ambushed me just now? Step forward, or I'll kill you, or I'm not Lu!"

After calling out for a long time without receiving a response, he belatedly looked up and found that the long-lost light had once again enveloped the world, bathing him in a warm and comforting feeling.

He grinned and said, "Sunshine is so much more comfortable!"

At this point, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Blackie was already injured, and there should be no one left to fight the Six-Eyed Lion. In the end, he would not succeed.

It's not that he wanted to lose, but rather that everything happened too strangely.

When he looked around, there was not a trace of demonic energy in the sky, and even the invincible six-eyed lion monkey had disappeared.

His gaze fell on Uncle Hei, who was meditating and regulating his breathing. His eyelids twitched. Could it be that Uncle Hei was showing the power he had when he was the Black Emperor at the crucial moment?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly realized that one person was missing: Zhou Mu.

“Where’s Zhou Mu? I can’t see him. Wait a minute…” Lu Shan said, his brows slowly furrowing, as if he had vaguely seen Zhou Mu standing beside him before he fainted.

Thinking of this, he immediately jumped up and shouted, "Zhou Mu, come out here! You bullied me again when I wasn't paying attention. You can't play games like this..."

Lu Shan kept talking nonstop, and Feng Qitong waited until Lu Shan had finished speaking before she spoke up: "Brother Mu did this to save us..."

Lu Shan was taken aback, seemingly realizing the unspeakable secret. His expression immediately turned grim, and he let out a soft sigh. "You're not trying to tell me he's gone, are you?"

Feng Qitong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Lu Shan instantly flew into a rage, strode forward, and suddenly grabbed Feng Qitong by the collar, coldly saying, "Feng Qitong, don't think that just because you're the young master of the Demon Clan I won't dare to hit you. If you keep cursing Xiao Mu like that, I'll kill you."

Feng Qitong gave a bitter laugh. Overwhelming guilt nearly drowned him like a tidal wave. He wanted to offer an explanation, but after thinking about it, he said nothing.

Jiang Jinyu rushed forward to try to rescue Feng Qitong from Lu Shan's grasp, but Lu Shan's grip was unusually strong, as if it were made of iron.

"Lu Shan, stop going crazy, okay? Nobody wants to see things like this now."

Lu Shan's hands were covered in bulging veins, and his fingertips were reddish-white.

"Jiang Jinyu, are you even speaking human language?"

At this moment, Lu Shan, in extreme anger, had become somewhat reckless. He threw Feng Qitong down heavily, pointed at her, and looked at Jiang Jinyu, asking, "Xiao Mu was so good to you, and now that this guy has said these words, you're just blindly protecting him. How can you face Xiao Mu?"

When Zhou Mu was mentioned, Jiang Jinyu was initially furious, but in an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. She thought of the man who looked so delicate yet gave people a great sense of security, and her heart suddenly tightened.

Lu Shan had already guessed it, but at this moment, he could only fill his heart with anger and grief.

He couldn't imagine how Ye Mujiu would behave after Zhou Mu left...

"Didn't you have a cheat code? Where did it go..." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

At this moment, Zhang Tianjian awoke. After this period of recuperation, he had regained some of his strength. He slowly stood up, a subtle spiritual energy swirling around him, emanating a faint sense of pressure.
