Qingyun Peak
Zhou Mu rode on auspicious clouds, slowly approaching from the horizon.
A gentle breeze caressed his clothes, causing his sleeves to flutter, making him appear ethereal and otherworldly, just like a hermit recluse.
"Wow...that feels amazing."
Ye Mujiu said with stars in her eyes.
Lu Shan, standing to the side, was quite disdainful. He snorted and said, "You put on quite a show when you go out. Where did you learn such bad habits?"
Upon seeing Zhou Mu arrive, Ye Mujiu ran over and hugged him tightly, grinning as she asked, "Brother Mu, where have you been?"
She sniffed, but then smelled a faint odor of blood, and her beautiful brows furrowed immediately.
"Brother Mu, why do you smell of blood? Tell me honestly, what have you been doing?"
Zhou Mu gave a helpless, bitter smile.
The spiritual power Fang Yun possessed within him was gradually disappearing.
Seeing this, he hurriedly asked Lu Shan for a meeting, but the latter could only wave his hand helplessly, indicating that he was also powerless to help.
He didn't want to meddle in the young couple's affairs, lest he end up being the one at fault.
"Forehead……"
“Lu Shan knows, ask him.”
With nowhere else to turn, Zhou Mu passed the buck to Lu Shan.
The little girl was quite alert. She stared at Zhou Mu with her clear eyes and said in a cute but fierce tone, "Then tell me, who is my boyfriend?"
“Me.” Zhou Mu pointed to himself.
"So, do you think the question should be asked to you or him?"
"Me." Zhou Mu said helplessly.
He was thinking of finding an excuse to get out of it, but judging from the little girl's appearance, she didn't seem like someone who could be easily fooled.
So he thought for a moment and said, "Would you believe me if I said I went to punish evil and promote good?"
"I believe whatever you say." The little girl nodded, her clear eyes reflecting Zhou Mu's image, as if he were her whole world.
"Alright, stop being so lovey-dovey, we have serious business to discuss."
Seeing that the two of them wouldn't let go, Lu Shan had no choice but to interrupt their tender moment.
Since she was busy with important matters and couldn't get involved, Ye Mujiu went to prepare lunch.
Now only Zhou Mu and Lu Shan remain.
Lu Shan was still thinking about the Wentian Tower. The time was almost up, but as far as he knew, the Cangyu Holy Land was still there, and there had been no progress at all. He thought that if Lin Yang came to ask for the Heavenly Saint Sword, then he would be in big trouble.
He was very anxious at that moment.
However, under Zhou Mu's repeated orders, these matters should not be mentioned when Ye Mujiu is present, so they can only be brought up when Ye Mujiu is preparing lunch.
"Brother, you're not very reliable. Look, the time is almost up, and the Cangyu Holy Land is still there. If that guy comes to ask for the Heavenly Saint Sword, I won't be able to produce it."
"Don't worry," Zhou Mu said calmly, "Everything is under my control."
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that. Anyway, you're the chosen one of this world, you have the protagonist's halo, following you is the right thing to do." Lu Shan said with a smile.
...
Noon
There was still a quarter of an hour until the agreed-upon noon.
Wentianlou
Downstairs, Lin Yang stared at the plaque with the three characters "Wen Tian Lou" engraved on it. It took him a long time to recover from his daze.
The Wentian Tower promised to destroy the Cangyu Holy Land before noon, or else they would return the sect's most precious treasure, the Heavenly Saint Sword.
He had just inquired and found that the Cangyu Holy Land was still there, so the Wentian Tower had no reason to detain his Heavenly Saint Sword.
Although the Cangyu Holy Land suffered heavy losses, losing several saints in succession, including the Holy Lord Yang Qiu and his successor Yang Hao.
However, it still differs from what Wentianlou said.
If it were just an ordinary treasure, he would have given it away without a second thought. But the Heavenly Saint Sword was of extraordinary significance to him. Moreover, with the Heavenly Saint Sword, there was hope for rebuilding the Heavenly Palace.
Bang bang bang
Lin Yang knocked on the door.
The ancient gate emitted a dull thud.
But after waiting a while, there was no movement from inside the door.
"Your Excellency...Great Power...Senior..."
Lin Yang called out several times, but there was no response from inside the door. He began to panic and quickly knocked several times.
creak
The door slowly opened.
An aura of vicissitudes instantly spread out.
He hesitated for a moment, then went inside.
It was very dark inside, even darker than when I last came; you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face.
However, it is different from ordinary black. The black of the past usually presents a kind of eerie terror, but the black of Wentian Tower has a reassuring element.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a sound came from a brightly lit spot.
He quickly walked over, knelt down in front of that spot, and said, "Junior Lin Yang greets Senior."
Upon hearing this, there was no response from the other side.
His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Wentianlou has run away? Is the place deserted?
But that seems unlikely, given the sheer number of surprises Wentianlou had given him that day.
"What is it?"
Just as he was feeling extremely anxious, a sound suddenly rang out.
He looked up abruptly and said hastily, "Senior, the time is almost here, and you haven't yet fulfilled your promise to destroy the Azure Feather Holy Land. What do you think..."
"What time is it now?"
Lu Shan said calmly.
"Noon at three-quarters past noon," Lin Yang said after a moment's thought.
“Take another look, what time is it now?” Lu Shan asked.
It was pitch black all around, and Lin Yang couldn't tell the time. He tentatively looked up at Lu Shan.
But he couldn't see Lu Shan's face clearly, only a vague outline, and couldn't make out what the latter actually looked like.
