"What a coincidence! One of my pet spirit beasts is a lamb, and now it's gone, only to appear here. Please give me an explanation." The Spirit Emperor's expression was extremely ugly.

If it weren't for the repeated instructions from the Grand Master of the Great Thousand Pavilion to treat Zhou Mu well, he would have really wanted to slap him to vent his anger.

"How about this, I'll compensate you with a Spirit Emperor-level spiritual artifact?" Zhou Mu was somewhat guilty, so he immediately said.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ling, Zhang Shan, was immediately tempted and was about to nod in agreement. However, he then thought that it would be too embarrassing to agree so easily.

So he pretended to be full of grief and said, "No... no one can replace my little lamb, I want my little lamb."

Seeing the burly man on the verge of tears, Zhou Mu felt as if he had committed a grave mistake. He immediately took a deep breath and said, "A demigod-level spiritual artifact..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Shan nodded and said, "Alright, it's a deal. When will you give it to me?"

The agreement was agreed to so readily and decisively.

Zhou Mu immediately realized that the man's previous sadness was feigned, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Good heavens, so this was where he was waiting.

But the deed was done, and he had to take responsibility for his mistake.

So he took out a spirit ring, and somehow, a fan appeared in his hand.

Having witnessed firsthand how wealthy and powerful Zhou Mu had been, Zhang Shan was now extremely excited.

He suppressed his surging emotions, picked up the fan, and stared at it intently. A sudden chill ran down his spine. He took a deep breath, his eyes wide with shock, and exclaimed, "The Yin-Yang Fan! This is the Yin-Yang Fan of Lord Longwu..."

The old lord, who controls Yin and Yang, commands thunder and lightning using the number nine and five, and relies on this legendary Yin-Yang Fan.

He's truly invincible to have such a treasure in his hands.

He gently fanned himself, and a dazzling golden light burst forth, followed by thunderous roars that resounded from nowhere, with visible ripples spreading far and wide.

"That's amazing..."

Zhang Shan was speechless for a moment.

It truly is a quasi-god level spiritual artifact.

sharp

Zhang Shan's smile almost reached the sky. He examined it carefully for a long time, treating it like a rare treasure, and quickly put it away. Then he said to Zhou Mu, "I have a few lambs here. If you like them, I can send them over."

"No, let's not. We don't have that much stuff anymore." Zhou Mu shook his head, clearly still feeling a bit shaken.

"Alright then." Zhang Shan smiled, clearly pleased that he had thoroughly tricked Zhou Mu.

No one knew better than him what possessing this demigod-level artifact meant.

To some extent, even the dragon race, with its peak strength, treats any demigod-level magical artifact as a treasure to protect its clan.

After acquiring this demigod-level spiritual artifact, his power actually reached the demigod level, a level on par with Jing Mu, the master of the Great Thousand Pavilion.

He is even much stronger than Jiang Fengzi, the patriarch of the Dragon Clan; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has risen to the top in one step.

The next morning

Zhou Mu was finally able to leave the courtyard deep in the mountains.

Outside the courtyard, the air was noticeably dry, while all around was a vast expanse of lush greenery, with towering peaks rising abruptly from the ground and mountains stretching across the landscape. A sense of natural serenity, accompanied by birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, wafted over.

Not far away, yaks grazed with their heads down, birds and beasts frolicked on the lake, and the shimmering river sparkled with the sun's rays; everything seemed very peaceful.

Zhou Mu took a deep breath, feeling completely refreshed.

...

Zhou Tian got up early, and having nothing to do, he woke up the old man Tianji who was still fast asleep.

The old man of the sky was always grumpy when he woke up. Now, he was forcibly awakened from his sleep. The moment he woke up, his snow-white hair suddenly grew wildly, and his blood-red mouth suddenly opened, revealing his ferocious fangs.

They had already shown murderous intent.

"roar!"

The tiger roared.

It turns out that this old man in the sky was actually the legendary White Tiger.

The Flame Tiger is a divine beast second only to the dragon. In legends, even a powerful creature like the White Tiger can be called a divine beast.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise.

The Four Divine Beasts.

Zhou Tian remained expressionless and unmoved.

He reached out and slapped the face that vaguely resembled a fierce tiger. The sound was crisp, yet it contained immense pressure.

Instantly, the old man of heavenly secrets flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and then heavily embedded himself in the wall.

"How rude," Zhou Tiannai muttered.

When the old man realized what was happening, he touched his already bright red right cheek, swallowed hard, and exclaimed in horror, "Zhou Tian is... truly strong."

For a moment, he forgot that Zhou Tiannai had just slapped him.

"Zhou Dandan is missing?" Zhou Tiannai asked hurriedly as the Heavenly Mystery Elder regained consciousness.

The old man of the heavenly secrets immediately came to his senses and asked, "What time did this happen?"

"It should be within a few hours," Zhou Tiannai said.

"What are you waiting for! Quickly send people to look for her." The old man in the sky was anxious. "The extraterrestrial demons are now stationed outside the city, and there is already a great deal of panic. If Zhou Dandan disappears at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable."

...

Zhang Shi was another Emperor Ling who protected Zhou Mu.

After a night, he clearly sensed the changes in Zhang Shan. Previously, the two were evenly matched, but now, Zhang Shan exuded a very powerful aura.

He was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhang Shan and whispered, "Have you had any extraordinary encounters lately?"

Upon seeing Zhang Shi, Zhang Shan, who had a good relationship with him, didn't hide anything and told him everything that had happened the night before.

Then, Zhang Shan took out a fan.

At first, Zhang Shishang was unsure if the fan was the legendary Yin-Yang Fan, but when he saw it clearly, he felt a chill run down his spine and exclaimed in shock, "That...that's the Yin-Yang Fan of the Divine Martial Lord Laozi!"

Zhang Shan said smugly, "This was given to me by Zhou Mu; it's a demigod-level spiritual artifact."

"I...I...will give it a try too."

Faced with such an enormous temptation, Zhang Shi was also tempted, and immediately went out.

Upon seeing Zhou Mu, Zhang Shi knelt down with a thud.

"Big brother, I want one too..."

Zhou Mu was stunned, and Ye Mujiu and Wang Qing'er next to him were also dumbfounded.

The fact that a martial artist at the Spirit Emperor level actually knelt down before Zhou Mu is truly astonishing.

You must know that a Spirit Emperor is someone who has already reached the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Worlds.

"No, what are you trying to do?!" Zhou Mu exclaimed helplessly.
