Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu's face instantly darkened.
"Children should stay away from adults when they are doing things."
"Tsk tsk tsk, now you know to avoid suspicion. Why didn't you say this when you were being all lovey-dovey in front of me?" Lu Shan grinned shamelessly.
Looking at Lu Shan, Zhou Mu suddenly felt a sense of relief that his child had grown up.
He reached out his hand, intending to pat Lu Shan's head, but the latter reacted quickly, taking a few steps back and asking warily, "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Mu awkwardly withdrew his hand, but said without changing his expression, "It's nothing."
"You old rascal," Lu Shan muttered, then said seriously, "Have you thought about what to do about Chen Tai'a's matter?"
Zhou Mu looked up.
He looked out at the sky above the palace. The azure sky was dotted with clouds, which was quite beautiful.
He suddenly felt refreshed and took a deep breath. He grinned and said, "I've made up my mind. Since he already knows about Fang Yun's existence, let's just make the Black Ice Platform known to the world as well."
"you mean……"
Lu Shan looked at Zhou Mu.
Their eyes met.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Mu said, "That's right. I want to make Black Ice Platform an assassin organization, an organization that belongs only to me and whose members only obey my orders."
Only when a tree is large and deeply rooted will people be wary of it and act with restraint.
"hiss!"
That's a really ambitious goal.
Lu Shan gasped, taking a long time to process what he had just said. "Are you really sure about this?"
Zhou Mu nodded. "I thought about it all night. Only in this way will Chen Tai'a not dare to touch me. With a behemoth in my hands, I want him to know that if he wants to make a move, he'll have to think twice about whether he can afford the price."
This was a last resort.
"Then I'll stay and assist you?" Lu Shan suggested.
Zhou Mu did not deny it.
After all, he is currently fighting alone. Having a fellow transmigrator, also a chosen one of his own time, to assist him would make solving problems much easier.
"Then I'll be the Grand Commander, and you'll be the Deputy Grand Commander."
"No, Fang Yun will only listen to you. I'll pass on the position of deputy commander. Here's what I'm thinking: if the Black Ice Platform can't be made public, then let's create another force. I've already thought of a name for it: Wentian Tower."
After Lu Shan finished speaking, he seemed quite satisfied with the name he had chosen, and even laughed.
Zhou Mu looked at Lu Shan with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
"Have you been reading too many novels? Asking the Heavens Tower? I'm dealing with the voice of an assassin, and you're setting up a Asking the Heavens Tower? Are you the heavens? Go ask you?"
Lu Shan chuckled, exuding a mysterious and unpredictable aura.
"That's not true. I just obtained a treasure, a cheat code."
As he spoke, he slowly extended his palm, and in his palm, a delicate and exquisite palace was quietly floating.
Lifelike and incredibly realistic, it's like a miniature version of the pavilion. If you look closely, you can even see the three characters "Wentianlou" on the plaque above the door.
"So, after all that, the name you racked your brains to come up with was something that already existed," Zhou Mu mocked mercilessly.
“I…” Lu Shan paused, “If you say it again, I’ll take it back.”
"No way." Zhou Mu immediately backed down. Right now, all he wanted to do was get the flag up and running as quickly as possible. Once he became strong, he wouldn't be alone anymore. If Chen Tai'a really wanted to take action, he would have to think twice about whether he could bear the consequences.
Desolate Heaven Realm
The bustling market was teeming with people, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
On a vacant lot far from the center, a nine-story pavilion suddenly appeared out of nowhere. At first, no one paid any attention to it, but some people who passed by on their way home would take a few curious glances.
Overall, the appearance of Wentian Tower did not cause much of a sensation.
Zhou Mu was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
Ten days is enough.
He knew that not many people were paying attention openly, but countless eyes were watching him from the shadows. No one would be foolish enough to ignore a force that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Life was uneventful.
Even today.
At the entrance of Wentian Tower, all was as calm as ever. Lu Shan pushed open the heavy door of Wentian Tower, took a broom and swept away the dust. He looked at the boundless desolation and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He complained to the sky, "I told you to locate it in a bustling area, but you wouldn't listen. You built it in this godforsaken place. There's not a soul in sight, not even a ghost."
"Who said that?"
A voice suddenly rang out from his side.
Lu Shan was startled.
He only realized it was Zhou Mu when he saw it.
Zhou Mu looked at him and said, "Stop sighing. I have my own plans. Oh, by the way, I just wanted to let you know that someone is coming soon."
"So, does this mean I'm going to open for business?" Lu Shan asked, his face full of excitement.
“My Black Ice Platform is about to open, and as agreed, we’ll split the profits 50/50,” Zhou Mu said.
"No problem, not to mention 50/50, even 30/70 is fine, as long as we can do business, hahaha..."
At the end, Lu Shan burst into laughter, then threw down the broom in his hand and strode into the attic.
Just then, in the distance, a series of sharp sword sounds suddenly rang out.
Shoot shoo shoo
The sharp blade sliced through the cold air, leaving a bloody arc, and with a crisp, sharp sound, the earth fell silent once more.
"They're here."
Zhou Mu gazed into the distance, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.
The fastest way he could think of to expand his influence and accumulate raw power was to help people take revenge.
Then receive some appropriate compensation.
They used these rewards to recruit more soldiers and continue to strengthen themselves.
According to Black Ice Guard's intelligence, a gang war is currently taking place in a certain area, similar to the situation in Zhongzhou at that time.
With collusion from within and without, a powerful force appears incredibly fragile.
At his behest, Fang Yun secretly protected a person. Then, the hostile forces discovered that person and were hunting him down. Coincidentally, the person fled to the location of Wentian Tower.
Under Fang Yun's protection, the opposing forces were always thwarted by external forces just when they were about to succeed, allowing the person to escape.
That person is almost here.
Because he survived to the end, all the treasures of the entire sect are now in his possession, or rather, some of the sect's inheritances are known only to him.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhou Mu's lips.
He originally disdained to get involved in these matters. He knew very well that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and it was perfectly normal for forces to swallow each other up.
However, he now insists on interfering, changing the existing order, and rebuilding a new order under his rule, eventually slowly eroding the entire Desolate Heaven Domain.
He refused to believe that gathering the power of the entire Desolate Heaven Domain would not make Chen Tai'a wary.
