After Zhou Mu returned, he appeared unusually relaxed.
Upon entering the inn, Zhou Dandan was still unconscious, but fortunately, Zhang Ling'er was by her side at all times, so there was no need to worry about anything else.
Lu Shan stood silently to the side, not wiping away tears, but as if he were the one lying on the bed.
"Why are you crying?" Zhou Mu asked when he saw Lu Shan.
Lu Shan glanced at Zhou Dandan, who was unconscious on the bed, before his gaze fell on Zhou Mu. He said, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Mu nodded.
He knew what Lu Shan meant by those words, but he made no comment.
To some extent, he also bears responsibility. After all, Zhou Dandan suffered this because she is his sister. If Zhou Dandan were just an ordinary person, none of this would have happened.
"Cough cough..."
Just then, Zhou Dandan coughed softly on the bed.
Although the voice was very soft, it was enough for Zhang Ling'er, whose eyes were fixed on Zhou Dandan. She quickly turned to the side, bent down, and leaned closer to Zhou Dandan, saying softly, "You're awake? Would you like some water?"
Zhou Dandan nodded blankly, then her gaze fell on Zhang Ling'er, and she forced a smile, "Thank you..."
She spoke very softly.
When Zhou Dandan woke up, everyone present felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, someone rushed in without knocking, which made Zhou Mu very uncomfortable.
If Zhou Dandan hadn't woken up and he hadn't felt so happy, he would have definitely taught this person a lesson.
The man was extremely oblivious; even after seeing Zhou Mu's obvious look of disgust, he still leaned closer and asked, "Who is Zhou Mu?"
Seeing that no one answered, he raised his voice and asked, "Who is Zhou Mu? Where is Zhou Mu?"
Fearing that the guy would continue talking and disturb Zhou Dandan, who had finally woken up, Zhou Mu walked over with a cold face, suddenly lifted his sleeve, and pulled the man out.
The man was still somewhat displeased, looking at Zhou Mu with a face full of anger, and said, "What do you mean by this? Do you know whose people I am? Let me tell you, show me some respect, or I'll make sure you never make it to Yongning City."
After uttering those harsh words, Zhou Mu said calmly, "I am the Zhou Mu you're looking for. What's the matter?"
Heaven knows how much resentment Zhou Mu had to suppress to speak to this person so calmly. He knew that if this person showed even the slightest unusual emotion again, he would be unable to resist slapping him across the face.
Fortunately, upon seeing the person in charge, the man's previous arrogant and domineering attitude vanished. He bowed and said, "My master invites you to a gathering."
Who is your master?
"Cao Feng, the city lord of Yongning City".
The man's face was full of pride when he spoke of this title.
Without a doubt, the pinnacle of power in Yongning City is Cao Feng, the city lord of Yongning City.
Zhou Mu was about to refuse, but then he thought about it again and wondered what Cao Feng was really up to, so he nodded and asked, "What time?"
"tonight."
"I'll go."
As expected, no one would refuse an invitation from the Lord of Yongning City. After all, being able to dine at the same table with the pinnacle of Yongning City's fighting prowess was undoubtedly a great honor.
Zhou Mu turned and went inside, while Lu Shan tactfully left without saying anything.
At this moment, Zhou Dandan's complexion had improved significantly. At least when she spoke, she was no longer so weak and looked more energetic.
...
Wentianlou
In just two days, Blackie had integrated all the forces, big and small.
They all belong to Wentianlou.
As for management, it was handed over to the Sword God Temple, with many reliable elders of the Sword God Temple acting as its full representatives, each serving as the head of their respective faction. In other words, the people managing each faction were directly dispatched by the Sword God Temple.
This means that all power has been concentrated in the hands of the Sword God Temple.
Since the Sword God Palace is integrated with the Asking Heaven Tower, forming an alliance with the Asking Heaven Tower is, in a sense, the most correct thing Zhang Tianjian has done in the past few decades.
To rise with the wind in a single day is something that many powerful forces can only dream of.
In just two days, the vast Desolate Heaven Domain was transformed into a single power. When the news spread, both the Great Qin Domain and the Divine Domain were quite surprised.
The dragons, on the other hand, didn't react much.
It was several days later when Zhou Mu learned that he had become the Domain King of the Desolate Heaven Domain.
At this moment, he was sitting at the table, and the person opposite him was Cao Feng, with whom he had a fierce conflict during the day. This guy was casually toasting Zhou Mu and acting very friendly.
The excessive intimacy gave Zhou Mu the illusion that he was this guy's long-lost father. Although it was a bit immoral to say that, that was the feeling he got from the excessive enthusiasm.
Zhou Mu didn't react much to this enthusiasm. He smiled and looked at Cao Feng, saying, "Are you scared of me after I beat you up during the day?"
Perhaps this is the only reasonable explanation.
Even when this less-than-glorious matter was brought up, Cao Feng's expression remained calm and composed. "Lord Zhou is too kind. I am completely convinced of my defeat at your hands. This cup of wine is a toast to you."
After he finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and, without waiting for Zhou Mu's reaction, downed it in one gulp. Then he gestured to Zhou Mu, showing him the empty glass.
At this moment, Zhou Mu also raised his wine cup and said, "Since you've already drunk it, I can't refuse you. However, I don't like drinking alcohol, so I'll use tea instead."
He then drank it all in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, Cao Feng revealed a faint smile.
He was always very well-informed, especially since Yongning City was located in a remote area, so very little news came in. However, this was not a problem for him.
He had learned of the news long before Hei Bo started fighting everywhere, and was surprised that there was such a great god in Wentian Tower.
However, what happened next gradually exceeded his expectations.
With that Black Uncle's ruthless methods, he managed to integrate all the forces in the Desolate Heaven Domain in just two days.
As for Yongning City, it was ignored because it had no value other than the circulation of money.
Therefore, being weak has its advantages.
However, Cao Feng was far from happy about this, because he had severely offended Zhou Mu, the master of Wentian Tower, and naturally, he needed to make amends.
