For several days in a row, all was peaceful, and the people of Wentianlou gradually relaxed.
Because of Nezha's appearance, Feng Qitong, who had been secretly jealous, was completely disarmed by Jiang Jinyu's coaxing and began to slowly accept this seemingly cute but actually incredibly powerful little baby.
After all, he had truly experienced the power of this little kid. As long as this little kid was in Wentian Tower, there was no need to worry about Zhang Heng and his people attacking.
Coincidentally, at that moment, news of Ye Mujiu's return suddenly came from Qingyun Peak. This delighted Zhou Mu, and without caring that the system was still cooling down, he hurriedly left with Fang Yun.
Lu Shan couldn't dissuade him, even though he knew it was very likely a trap, simply to disperse their forces and then defeat them one by one.
But Zhou Mu, who was extremely excited at the moment, couldn't care less about anything else. The longing he had felt for the past six months was like a surging wave, almost overwhelming him.
Sometimes, overthinking can be a burden.
Jiang Jinyu also expressed her desire to meet Ye Mujiu. She wanted to see for herself just how stunningly beautiful a woman could be, to be so adored by Zhou Mu.
Jiang Jinyu was going, and naturally Feng Qitong would follow. Since both of them were going, Lu Shan had no reason to stay any longer. Moreover, he hadn't seen her for a long time and missed the little girl, so he went along as well.
The group set off in a grand and imposing manner.
Upon arriving at Qingyun Peak, the majestic palace still stood there. Pushing open the heavy doors, a dusty smell wafted out, clearly indicating that it had not been inhabited for a long time.
Zhou Mu was stunned. He looked around and called out "Xiao Jiu" a few times, but only heard an empty echo in the hall. His face turned pale instantly.
She sat down on the ground with a thud, looking at Lu Shan with a helpless expression.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. This is also true for Zhou Mu at this moment. If he had not been full of hope before, perhaps he would not be in despair now.
Half a year has passed since we parted, and we still haven't seen each other once.
"Xiao Jiu hasn't come back."
Lu Shan sighed and said, "It's alright, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Who said that?"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from inside the hall, and then everyone saw a figure slowly walk out of the inner hall. By the time everyone could see him clearly, he was less than ten steps away.
"Zhou Tong".
Sensing the hostile aura emanating from the person ahead, Feng Qitong frowned and instinctively stepped forward, shielding Jiang Jinyu behind her. The broad shoulders provided an unparalleled sense of security, and Jiang Jinyu smiled.
No one was surprised by Zhou Tong's appearance, but Zhou Mu didn't seem to be in good condition, which was a bit worrying.
"So, this is fake news that you spread?"
Zhou Mu suddenly raised his head.
His tone was unusually cold, and even Lu Shan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but shiver.
Those familiar with Zhou Mu understood at this moment that Zhou Mu was truly enraged.
Like the prelude to the awakening of a ferocious beast, Zhou Mu now seemed to have a certain significance.
Zhou Tong smiled faintly, reached out and touched a button on his chest, and said calmly, "Zhang Heng said that he could lure you out with just that sentence. I didn't believe it at first. How could anyone believe such a clumsy lie? But I didn't expect that you would actually come."
"So, your end has come."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his palm, and a vast amount of black energy condensed and formed a black tornado in his palm.
The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn in, converging towards that spot. With a loud boom, the majestic hall turned to dust and vanished, revealing the empty Qingyun Peak.
"Hahahaha..."
Zhou Tong laughed wildly. When he saw the look of horror on Lu Shan and the others' faces, he could no longer contain his smugness.
Rumble rumble
Several more loud noises rang out, and the vast black energy condensed into a black mist hundreds of feet high. When the black mist dissipated, the figure of the three-headed demonic ape was revealed to everyone.
"The three-headed demonic ape..."
Feng Qitong took a deep breath, staring intently at Zhou Tong, who was currently in the area with the densest demonic energy, and said coldly, "Are you really not afraid of being discovered by the powerful figures of the Nine Provinces Continent?"
The Great Wilderness City, where Qingyun Peak is located, is a key transportation hub. Even the slightest appearance of demonic energy there would easily arouse suspicion.
Even in the deepest valleys, it took countless arrays to barely conceal it.
Zhou Tong chuckled twice, looked at Feng Qitong with a mocking expression, and said, "Do you think you can sense the existence of demonic energy right now?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qitong was taken aback, and then immediately released her senses. Sure enough, even though the three demonic apes were right in front of her, she could still sense their presence.
In other words, Zhou Tong must have used some means to conceal the aura of the three-headed demonic ape.
Thinking of this, Feng Qitong's heart sank.
Lu Shan, standing to the side, looked at the giant beast with great curiosity, but seeing Feng Qitong's solemn expression, he didn't dare to approach and speak to her. Instead, he turned his gaze to Jiang Jinyu.
Compared to Feng Qitong, her relationship with Jiang Jinyu is somewhat closer.
He crept closer and asked, "Jinyu, do you know what that thing is?"
Lu Shan often throws out a new word or two when he speaks, and Jiang Jinyu is already used to it. She can only understand the meaning of a sentence by looking at the context.
After thinking for a moment, she felt that Lu Shan must be referring to what the giant beast was, so she said, "The Three-Headed Demon Ape is one of the ten ancient ferocious beasts. It is said that the Nine Provinces once dispatched three powerful emperors to besiege it, but one of them was seriously injured and two others perished. It truly deserves to be called the number one ferocious beast."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shan couldn't help but gasp.
Wow, is it that amazing?
He looked at the colossal beast, whose full form he couldn't see even with his head tilted back, with a hint of fear on his face, and a chill suddenly ran through him.
At that moment, he finally realized just how difficult their predicament was.
"You guys go first, escape as far as you can, preferably to Great Wilderness City, there are many strong people there, they dare not go there."
Feng Qitong said calmly.
Even though she knew this was the best option, Jiang Jinyu still shook her head and said, "If we're going to die, we'll die together."
"Alright, stop acting out this life-or-death drama." Zhou Mu had calmed down by now. He stood up, dusted himself off, and his expression remained calm.
He turned to look at the crowd, grinned, and a glint of shrewdness appeared in his narrow eyes.
"Have you forgotten Nezha?"
