When Lu Shan saw the malicious smile on Zhou Mu's face, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He subconsciously took a step back and then prepared to quietly walk to the side.
Just then, Zhou Mu caught sight of the figure out of the corner of his eye. In a few flashes, he appeared in front of Lu Shan, grinning innocently.
Where are you going?
Stared at like that, Lu Shan couldn't help but shiver and quickly shook his head, saying, "I need to use the restroom."
"I'll go with you."
"This isn't a good idea," Lu Shan said, a hint of unease appearing on his face.
Zhou Mu laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. Don't I have one too? They're exactly the same, there's no difference. Besides, yours is bigger than mine, hahahahaha..."
Speaking of size, a somewhat wicked scene flashed through Zhou Mu's mind. After a moment of stunned silence, he burst out laughing.
That laughter sounds a little strange.
Lu Shan instinctively hugged himself and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Let's go, let's go together."
Zhou Mu smiled and put his arm around Lu Shan, who followed with a helpless expression.
In fact, he could guess Zhou Mu's purpose to some extent; the former did this simply to put his mind at ease.

night
The night was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Looking up, I couldn't see the stars in the sky. It felt as if a huge curtain covered the heavens, and suddenly, it was as if an invisible hand was enveloping everything.
This gives people a strange feeling, as if the entire world is just a plaything in his hands.
On the ninth floor, Zhou Mu felt very uneasy.
Fang Yun has already been mobilized.
There are only fifteen minutes left until the agreed time.
Although Fang Yun had once wiped out the even stronger Northern Wilderness Demon Clan, the Cangyu Holy Land, with its millennia-old heritage, was far more formidable. Even the Sword God Palace would likely have to expend considerable effort against it.
Therefore, today's action is simply due to some concerns.
With enough hype and the atmosphere perfectly set, it's no exaggeration to say that at this point, almost the entire Desolate Heaven Domain knew of the existence of the Heavenly Inquiry Tower and that it was going to destroy the Azure Feather Holy Land.
If this operation succeeds, it will undoubtedly add a significant and colorful touch to the mysterious image of Wentian Tower.
If it fails, it wouldn't be surprising to some extent, since the previous Wentian Tower was just a nobody.
However, only success is allowed; failure is not permitted.
The cost of failure was too heavy for Zhou Mu to bear.
On the surface, it is a struggle between Wentian Tower and Cangyu Holy Land, but in reality, it is a covert struggle between Zhou Mu and Chen Tai'a.
Victory or defeat, success or failure, is also the source of the conflict between Zhou Mu and Chen Tai'a.
The bargaining chip is Ye Mujiu.
Therefore, even if he has to fight with all his might, Zhou Mu absolutely cannot lose this battle.
With this in mind, his gaze hardened considerably.
After taking a deep breath, he gazed at the dark night sky and murmured to himself, "Master, if only you were here at this moment."
When he spoke the word "master," Zhou Mu's eyes softened with tenderness.
Suddenly, someone appeared behind them.
As Zhou Mu turned around, the man stepped forward and pulled him into his arms.
It's Ye Mujiu.
Why didn't you tell me?
Before he could even look up, Zhou Mu heard Ye Mujiu's muffled voice.
Zhou Mu gave a wry smile and said, "It's alright. I've said it before, as long as I'm here, no one can take you away from me."
"You were hiding something from me after all."
Ye Mujiu suddenly revealed a sly smile, like the feeling of a child who has succeeded in a little trick.
Only then did Zhou Mu realize that this young girl was bluffing him.
He chuckled. "You silly girl."
Ye Mujiu said with heartache, "I know Chen Tai'a came for me. You are no match for him. I don't want to see you and him fight to the death."
"Don't say those things again. Do you remember what I told you before? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Besides, taking my lover away from me is a huge loss of face for a man."
Zhou Mudao.
Ye Mujiu shook her head. "You know that's not what I meant."
Zhou Mu didn't say anything more, but just took a deep breath and stared blankly at the night sky.
as always.
In the past, whenever he encountered something troubling, he would just sit there brooding and lost in thought until he completely understood it before he could finally emerge from that state of mind.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere remained eerily calm.
"If a flame shoots into the sky in half an hour, then no one has the right to take you away from me. If..."
If it fails.
He didn't say the rest, but Zhou Mu absolutely could not tolerate such a thing happening.
Ye Mujiu simply shook her head; the pain in her heart left her speechless.

Tianfeng Pavilion
As a powerful force adjacent to the Cangyu Holy Land, although it barely ranks among the second-rate forces, it still enjoys some prestige in the Desolate Heaven Domain. Among them, Zhang Feng, the leader of the Tianfeng Pavilion, is a half-step saint.
It has a very strong foundation.
If he can advance to the Saint Realm, then Tianfeng Pavilion will rise from the ranks of second-rate forces to the ranks of first-rate forces.
Don't underestimate this small step; it's like an insurmountable chasm. Even if all the cultivation resources of Tianfeng Pavilion were poured into him, it would still be far from enough, less than one ten-thousandth of what was needed.
This is already the pinnacle of Tianfeng Pavilion.
They could not advance even an inch further.
Therefore, Zhang Feng, the quick-thinking leader of Tianfeng Pavilion, chose to pledge allegiance to Cangyu Holy Land.
It's good to have a powerful backer. If we have the Cangyu Holy Land, then using resources to create a saint shouldn't be a big problem.
However, this also has a drawback: Tianfeng Pavilion has become an appendage of Cangyu Holy Land instead of an independent entity.
As a long-established power that can speak for itself among the top-tier forces, it naturally has many vassal states. Therefore, standing out from the crowd is indeed a mind-boggling strategy.
Therefore, Zhang Feng began to befriend the elders of the Cangyu Holy Land, with the Holy Lord Yang Qiu being the most important person he befriended.
Yang Qiu initially didn't pay much attention to this minor power leader. Even when Zhang Feng requested an audience several times, he didn't let him in and just left him standing outside.
After all, there are too many people like that for him. If he had to deal with them all, he wouldn't have anything else to do.
It wasn't until one day, when Yang Qiu happened to meet Zhang Feng's family who were out for a trip, that he gradually began to have the idea of getting closer to them.
Of course, Yang Qiu's main target was not Zhang Feng, but Zhang Feng's beautiful wife, Xue Xiaoxuan.
Xue Xiaoxuan was a renowned beauty. Legend has it that when she was still of marriageable age, suitors flocked to her door, but she didn't even consider someone of noble birth like Yang Qiu.
