Such a huge benefit caused Xi Tianqiu to widen his eyes in surprise upon hearing this, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

Zhou Mu's hand froze in mid-air, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He pulled Qi Tianqiu's hand and placed the spirit ring in the latter's hand.

Instantly, Xi Tianqiu seemed to bear an immense weight.

One quasi-emperor level spiritual artifact, and one spirit emperor level spiritual artifact.

Every purchase they made was extravagant.

Even the Great Qin Domain or the Divine Domain probably couldn't produce such a precious spiritual artifact.

This time, even the Spirit Emperor couldn't help but be very surprised. The two looked at each other and saw deep shock in each other's eyes.

It should be noted that even they could only access quasi-emperor level spiritual artifacts at most, and that was already the limit. But Zhou Mu was truly wealthy and powerful, and he used a spirit emperor level spiritual artifact and a quasi-emperor level spiritual artifact in one go, which was truly astonishing.

"I have an urge to cling to someone powerful."

"Me too."

Meanwhile, Xi Tianqiu hesitated to accept it. He stared blankly at the spirit ring in his hand for a long while before slowly coming back to his senses. He seemed to find it hard to believe and asked, "Really... for me?"

It's no exaggeration to say that even a dragon of this caliber would consider such a powerful artifact a priceless treasure.

It's hard to believe that Zhou Mu would just give it away so casually.

"I cannot accept such a generous reward without having done anything in return. This is far too much for me to bear..."

“If you can’t handle it, then no one in the world can,” Zhou Mu said with a smile.

Immediately, his expression turned serious, and he said softly, "Dandan's safety rests entirely on your shoulders. That little girl is always giving me trouble..."

Xi Tianqiu nodded emphatically and said, "You can rest assured. If I can't even protect a little girl with these two sacred artifacts, then I might as well just smash my head against a block of tofu and die."

at the same time

front.

The person Zhou Mu was so concerned about was now in the midst of the fiercest battle.

On the way, she met Zhou Tiannai and an elderly man with white hair.

The old man asked her where she was going.

She pointed into the distance and said, "I'm going to protect this world."

Perhaps the old man was touched by the child's enthusiasm, and walked with him for a while. Finally, the old man asked, "Do your parents know that you came out so suddenly?"

Zhou Dandan shook her head and said, "I only have one older brother, but he doesn't know that I ran away secretly."

"Your brother is..."

"Zhou Mu!"

"That name sounds familiar." The old man frowned and pondered for a moment, then his eyes widened instantly. "What did you say your brother's name is?"

"Zhou Mu." The little girl looked puzzled and didn't take the old man's reaction to heart. Then she prepared to leave.

At this moment, the old man of the heavenly secrets suddenly grabbed Ye Mujiu, and immediately lost his vigorous spirit, instead showing a somewhat listless expression.

"Little girl, Grandpa isn't feeling well. Could you help Grandpa home?"

In the desolate wilderness, it might not be safe for the old man Tianji to be alone. So, after hesitating for a moment, Zhou Dandan obediently helped the old man Tianji over.

Tianji City

The gate opened with a rumble, and Zhou Tian came out to greet them personally. When he saw the completely unfamiliar little girl beside the old man Tianji, he frowned and thought for a long time but could not recall any connection with her.

"What's wrong, sir? Are you not feeling well?"

Zhou Tian hurriedly helped the old man Tianji over.

The old man deliberately feigned weakness to deceive Zhou Dandan. Now that he had achieved his goal, he was about to return to his original state when he realized that doing so might leave a bad impression on the little girl, so he immediately stopped.

Then he kept giving Zhou Tiannai meaningful glances.

Zhou Tian was a complete martial artist and didn't understand the implication. He couldn't help but ask, "City Lord, you keep blinking. Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Zhou Dandan slowly came to her senses, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Since I've brought the old folks back to you, I'll be leaving now."

"Don't……"

The old man turned around instantly, and he was no longer the weak man he had been before.

Seeing that Zhou Dandan had disappeared in the blink of an eye, he immediately became anxious.

He then looked at Zhou Tiannai with a hint of disappointment and said, "She is the younger sister of Zhou Mu, the Domain King of the Desolate Heaven Domain. Not long ago, the Pavilion Master gave an order that if you see Zhou Dandan, you must ensure her safety. Oh dear, you should hurry up and chase after her. If anything happens to her, you and I, including the million-strong allied army in this city, will all be buried with her."

"Is it really that scary?" Zhou Tiannai frowned, but didn't take any action.

The old man of the heavens grew anxious. “I’m not joking with you. The Pavilion Master has clearly stated in the secret letter that Zhou Dandan has an extremely good relationship with Zhou Mu. If something happens to Zhou Dandan, then who knows what kind of abnormality will occur in Zhou Mu.”

"If it ultimately affects the overall situation, then not only will we be wiped out, but the entire world will be destroyed as a result."

The old man appeared unusually calm when he said these words, but after he finished speaking, he began to breathe heavily.

Clearly, these words had taken a lot of his energy.

Zhou Tiannai's expression finally changed, and then his figure dissipated, turning into a stream of light that rushed towards the direction where Zhou Dandan had just disappeared.

“Zhou Dandan…”

Upon seeing that beautiful figure, Zhou Tiannai immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Standing in front of Zhou Dandan, his mountain-like body instantly blocked all of Zhou Dandan's path forward.

"What?" Zhou Dandan subconsciously took a step back, but after she saw Zhou Tiannai's face clearly, she was no longer as wary as before.

He had heard of Zhou Tiannai's deeds before. Putting aside his intelligence, his legendary brute force was enough to amaze people.

Zhou Tian wanted to give a friendly smile, but because he wasn't good at smiling, his grin was quite unsightly.

That smile was almost more unsightly than a cry.

“I am Zhou Tiannai, the Supreme General of the Allied Forces. Jing Mu, the Pavilion Master of Daqian Pavilion, instructed us to ensure your safety. So for your safety, please come back with us. You are the safest person in Tianji City.”

Zhou Dandan burst out laughing.

"General Zhou, do you know why I've come here?"

Zhou Tian shook his head.

"Because I want excitement. If I wanted safety, I wouldn't have come here. Besides, the rear is much safer than Tianji City."
