After all, it only takes a little over ten years to leave behind ten Demon Emperors, or even more.

These short ten years or so are but a blink of an eye for the demon race.

The choice that everyone should make is quite obvious.

Thus, a near-successful coup attempt vanished.

When everyone left, Feng Qitong visibly breathed a sigh of relief, while Feng Qizi's expression remained unchanged as usual.

He was neither angry that the courtiers had forced him to abdicate, nor did he feel smug that the attempt had failed.

In short, he acted like an outsider, which was very confusing.

At this moment, Feng Qitong didn't care about so much. Naively, he just thought that his father was somewhat unfazed by the collapse of Mount Tai in front of him, and his image of this incompetent father changed a bit.

“Father, that great wizard is getting more and more outrageous. Why don’t we take advantage of the previous troop mobilization incident to teach him a lesson?” Feng Qitong suggested.

However, Feng Qizi did not approve of this suggestion. He said indifferently, "No need. Even if we use this to attack him, it won't hurt him. At most, it will just be a superficial gesture. In that case, all those guys from the Demon Palace will be his people."

"father……"

Just as Feng Qitong was about to speak, Feng Qizi shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see. As long as I'm here, that guy won't be able to cause any trouble."

After saying that, his figure disappeared, leaving Feng Qitong alone there, sulking.

Yongning City

This place is not within the territory of Wentian Tower. Even a powerful place like the Sword God Palace has areas that it cannot control, such as this place.

Most importantly, Zhou Mu only brought Han Fei with him. If they really started fighting, Han Fei would be at a great disadvantage.

Therefore, he became cautious, especially after learning that the Divine Radiance Sword was still at the Nine Star Auction House. He then had an idea to go to the Nine Star Auction House and try to get it for free by relying on the power of the Asking Heaven Tower or the Tiger Head of the Sword God Palace.

After all, it was the Divine Radiance Sword, worth 60 million. To part with it would be an enormous favor. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Mu finally gave up the idea.

But, at that very moment...

Someone knocked on the door of the side room.

Zhou Mu walked out, slowly opened the door, and when he saw Lu Shan, who was drenched in sweat, he felt a sudden unease for some reason.

"Don't tell me you've lost him again."

At this moment, Lu Shan couldn't care less about anything else, and could only helplessly smile bitterly, "Dandan is missing..."

In an instant, Zhou Mu's face turned deathly pale.

A fierce rage suddenly erupted in his eyes, engulfing him in an instant like a raging river.

"What did you say?"

"Gone?"

“Lu Shan…”

With each word Zhou Mu spoke, he took another step closer. Lu Shan felt immense pressure and involuntarily took several steps back. Before he could even catch his breath, he said heavily, "In the blink of an eye, he was gone..."

He was on the verge of tears, feeling utterly helpless, as if this was a completely undeserved disaster. Who would have thought that a living person would just disappear like that, and disappear so completely? So much so that after searching for two or three hours at the beginning, and seeing that he really couldn't find him, he finally thought of coming back to tell Zhou Mu.

"You mean... Dandan has been missing for two or three hours?"

A look of terror quickly spread across Zhou Mu's body, his eyes slowly turned scarlet, a terrifying aura began to spread around him, and his spiritual power seemed to become uncontrollable.

"Yes... I'm sorry."

Lu Shan cried.

"Do you want me to say it's okay?" Zhou Mu smiled deeply. "If 'I'm sorry' were effective, would there be so many heartless men in the world?"

After saying that, Zhou Mu punched Lu Shan hard, then shot out and went to the location Lu Shan had indicated.

By the time Zhou Mu arrived, it was already night.

The largest black market in the entire Yongning City, or even the entire Desolate Sky Domain, has begun.

This was Zhou Mu's first time seeing such things, and he found them quite novel. However, with his younger sister still missing, he had no interest in looking at those strange little objects.

After searching for a long time like a headless fly without any clue, Zhou Mu finally had no choice but to turn to the Nine Star Auction House for help. After all, in this unfamiliar place, the only place he could possibly connect with was the Nine Star Auction House.

Yongning City Lord's Mansion

As the undisputed strongest force in Yongning City, the Yongning City Lord's Mansion has always shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the safety of Yongning City.

Cao Feng, the city lord of Yongning City, is a hero of his generation and a sage himself, capable of maintaining order and authority.

However, with the rapid development of the Nine Star Auction House, it is already showing signs of surpassing the City Lord's Mansion.

This made Cao Feng very unhappy.

Therefore, today, Zhang Ming, the person in charge of the Nine Star Auction House, was invited to a banquet.

Zhang Ming was very obliging and went to the city lord's mansion immediately after receiving the invitation.

Inside the mansion, brightly lit, in the ancient courtyard, a woman of celestial beauty was dancing gracefully. These women were dressed in thin clothes, their bodies shrouded in only a thin layer of clothing, and under the moonlight, they exuded an extreme allure in a hazy, indistinct way.

Especially her graceful figure, combined with her captivating dance moves, exudes an ultimate allure.

She was absolutely stunning.

It makes one's heart flutter with excitement.

Zhang Ming swallowed hard, but quickly looked away from the dancers. He stared at the delicious food on the table, but had no appetite. The middle-aged man sitting on the ground opposite him was Cao Feng, the city lord of Yongning City.

At this moment, Cao Feng was scrutinizing him with a look of his own, while he remained calm and composed, exuding an aura of natural confidence.

Apart from the sounds of singing and dancing, there were no other sounds.

No one spoke during the meal.

Finally, Cao Feng spoke first, saying, "I have long admired Brother Zhang's name, and now that I have met you, it is indeed well-deserved."

It's obviously just polite talk.

However, Zhang Ming hurriedly stood up, picked up his wine cup repeatedly, bowed his head, and said in a low voice, "I dare not, I dare not. In all these decades, I have never seen the city lord. It is truly my fault. I will drink a cup of wine as punishment."

After saying that, he finished drinking three large glasses of wine.

The liquor was extremely strong, so after it went down his throat, a burning sensation instantly spread throughout his body, and within moments, a slight hint of drunkenness appeared on his face.

"I... hiccup~"

He let out a very unladylike burp.

At this moment, a servant approached in small steps and whispered a few words in Cao Feng's ear. The latter's face changed instantly. "Really?"
