Daqian Pavilion
On the open field, there were eighty-one arrays inscribed by level-five spirit array masters, and the outstanding individuals selected from various fields stood in an extremely ingenious pattern.
Within the massive array of light, feeling a faint warmth like the winter sun, Zhou Mu took a long breath, still unable to suppress the excitement and nervousness in his heart.
While I was excited, I was actually more nervous.
It should be noted that this is the first time he has participated in such a major project. It is no exaggeration to say that if he succeeds this time, his prestige in the Nine Provinces Continent will reach an unprecedented height, equivalent to that of Qin Shi Huang and the Qin Empire, or Emperor Wu of Han and the Han Empire.
However... such a rich reward is naturally extremely difficult to achieve.
As they parted, he couldn't bear to tell Ye Mujiu the truth, so he simply made an excuse to go on a long trip. But when he left, he clearly saw tears glistening in Ye Mujiu's eyes.
What a fool he must be! Xiao Jiu already knew, but no one said it out loud. Even though they didn't hold a celebration, Xiao Jiu still bid farewell to her lover with the same reluctance as a newlywed bride.
Even though she knew that this parting might be forever, she still didn't say much, but just glanced at him quietly, as if she wanted to etch Zhou Mu's image into her very bones.
The thought of parting made Zhou Mu feel as if a stone was lodged in his heart, so painful that he could hardly speak. When Jing Mu asked them if they were ready, he ignored him.
After Wang Xu repeated it several times, he belatedly realized and hurriedly said, "Ready."
The formation was slowly activated.
A dazzling golden light enveloped the scene, and a sacred power suddenly emerged. In the next moment, that power enveloped the entire bodies of everyone, including Zhou Mu, giving them an indescribable sense of wonder.
Rumble rumble
As several loud roars resounded, just as Zhou Mu thought the formation was about to be activated, a wisp of extremely dark black energy suddenly appeared, and then a point of it coiled around it. In a short while, the golden ocean became murky.
Upon seeing this scene, Jing Mu's expression changed drastically. Before he could even speak, he stared blankly into the void.
That terrifying power emanated from that void, and if he wasn't mistaken, even he probably couldn't withstand that power.
Otherwise, the power of the formation could not be severed.
"Feng Qizi..."
Among the demons from beyond the realms today, besides the legendary Evil Ancestor who has already been resurrected, the only one with such power is this Demon Clan Chief, Feng Qizi.
Having his identity revealed, Feng Qizi was not annoyed. He chuckled and slowly walked out, his gaze falling on the astonished eyes of the crowd. He said, "Everyone, it's been a long time."
As the demonic energy that surged through the sky and permeated the heavens appeared, the Great Thousand Pavilion was immediately and severely affected. The spiritual energy of the world seemed to have weakened considerably, and almost everyone felt difficulty breathing.
Soon, tens of thousands of soldiers arrived, but they had no chance of winning against the demon chieftain.
"Is this how Daqian Pavilion treats its guests?"
Feng Qizi's voice revealed no emotion.
However, none of this mattered to Feng Qizi; his gaze was fixed solely on Zhou Mu in the crowd.
“My son has troubled you for a long time. As his father, I’ve come to say thank you to him.”
These words put Zhou Mu in a very difficult position.
The way people looked at Zhou Mu around him changed instantly. In their eyes, if someone was associated with extraterrestrial demons, then he was a bad person, and at this moment, Zhou Mu had already been categorized as a bad person by them.
However, Zhou Mu couldn't care less about that at the moment, because the so-called demon clan leader looked somewhat familiar to him, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
After a long while, he looked up in horror and said blankly, "You... are the old man who brought the Phoenix Perching Tree here earlier..."
Feng Qizi nodded lightly, then ignored Zhou Mu and turned his gaze to Jing Mu, his expression instantly becoming much more serious. "I'll say it one last time, don't try to break through, otherwise..."
The threat was already quite clear.
At this moment, Uncle Hei stepped forward, and with one step, his imposing aura appeared like a mountain, instantly easing the pressure on everyone. Then he sneered and saw the phantom in mid-air.
He said, "What else can I do? Let me tell you, I still want to ask you for an explanation for what happened today. But you've come to me on your own. Tell me, how should this matter be resolved? If you can't satisfy me, you probably know what the consequences will be."
Faced with Hei Bo's almost blatant threat, Feng Qizi wasn't afraid. He just gave a helpless bitter smile and said, "Since I'm in this position, I have to work for my people. As for those empty promises, that's a private matter between you and me, I'm afraid..."
There were some things he couldn't say, and he didn't know how to say them.
In fact, he said some things because he had been captured by Black Uncle once. When Black Uncle learned that he was an extraterrestrial demon, he immediately said he would kill him. However, in the end, Black Uncle was kind-hearted and released him only after he promised that he would never invade the Nine Provinces Continent in his life.
but……
Clearly, given the current situation, Feng Qizi has already broken his promise.
"I deeply regret my past actions. If I hadn't been soft-hearted and forgave you, such a great calamity would have been brought upon the world. I am filled with remorse. If I had simply killed you then, I fear..."
At this point, Uncle Hei paused heavily, then glared angrily, "No wonder you didn't explain your identity clearly back then. So that's the reason. If I had known you were royalty, I would have risked my life to prevent you from leaving alive."
Feng Qizi gave a bitter smile and remained silent. These words left him speechless. Indeed, he had such thoughts at the time, but... wasn't it all due to the circumstances?
By the time Blackie realized something was wrong with his identity, he had already returned to the Demon Realm.
"This isn't your private reunion..." Jing Mu interrupted them coldly, his deep gaze falling on Uncle Hei, seemingly with a hint of pleading.
Hei Bo was about to curse Feng Qizi again, but when he received Jing Mu's look, he suddenly froze. He realized that Feng Qizi's appearance was definitely not accidental, or rather, Feng Qizi's risky appearance in the rear must be to kill someone.
As for who to kill, the answer is almost obvious.
