"So this was all part of your scheme?" Jing Mu chuckled wryly, realizing he had been outmaneuvered.
However, he didn't dwell on it too much.
In a sense, they are all doing it for the sake of the world, only each person has their own different methods.
He quickly accepted it all.
Meanwhile, deep in the mountains where Zhou Mu was, Xi Tianqiu looked at Zhou Mu with a grim expression.
Upon seeing the person who suddenly appeared, Zhou Mu's heart skipped a beat, and his expression subtly changed. He took two steps forward in a daze and asked, "Why are you back? Where's Dandan?"
As he spoke, he glanced back twice and said, "Why didn't you bring Dandan back? You were going to give me a surprise, hahaha... You're so thoughtful."
His muttering to himself made Xi Tianqiu even more heartbroken. His eyes reddened, and he knelt down with a thud, saying in a state of near collapse, "Dandan... Zhou Dandan is missing. When I arrived, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets said that Zhou Dandan had been gone for more than a day, I..."
Fortunately, there was nothing else around, so this somewhat embarrassing scene for Xi Tianqiu did not occur.
now.
A surge of anger filled Zhou Mu's heart.
His eyes slowly turned crimson.
"What did you say?"
My voice is almost no longer my own.
Xi Tianqiu then burst into tears, repeating his earlier words, "I said..."
Boom
At that very moment, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly struck.
Zhou Mu unleashed the full power of a Saint King, followed by a hint of ruthlessness. The shockwaves were visible to the naked eye, rippling outwards in waves. The space itself seemed unable to withstand such a powerful force, shattering and revealing a terrifying void.
Xi Tianqiu was stunned. He dared not speak or act rashly. He just looked at Zhou Mu, and finally a look of fear appeared in his dark eyes.
It should be noted that, to some extent, they are martial artists of the same level. Even if he possesses a Spirit Emperor-level spiritual weapon, he can temporarily reach the Spirit Emperor level by using external spiritual energy.
However, in front of Zhou Mu, he still felt as weak as an ant.
"Come on, come with me."
Zhou Mu wasn't so angry that he lost his mind. He knew who to cause trouble for, so he gently helped him up and then pulled him outside.
At this moment, Zhang Shan and Zhang Shi suddenly appeared.
These two people stopped him when he tried to leave earlier.
But this time, he was unstoppable, no one could stand in his way.
However, just as he was about to make a move, Zhang Shan and Zhang Shi voluntarily released their positions and then knelt down with a thud, saying, "We two said that we are your men, and we will follow you wherever you go."
This was equivalent to two demigod-level martial artists protecting him closely, but Zhou Mu simply nodded without much reaction.
After he left, the two of them followed him out.
The news of Zhou Mu's departure spread quickly, and Jing Mu's expression became somewhat strange after he learned of it.
"What did you say? Those two Spirit Emperors have reached the demigod realm?"
He was somewhat surprised.
It's really hard to believe.
When did demigod-level warriors become so worthless?
Since Lu Shan and his group appeared, the number of martial artists at the demigod level seems to be experiencing an explosive growth.
"I saw it clearly, it's absolutely true," the servant said.
The servant wouldn't lie about such things, so Jing Mu waved his hand and said, "You're awake. I understand. You may leave."
After the servants left, Jing Mu lay back in the chair and let out a long sigh. "Zhou Mu, you're giving me more and more surprises. Should I say you're the lucky star of my world?"
About three days later, the group arrived at Tianji City.
With several spirit gods present, the extraterrestrial demons were somewhat hesitant to act too aggressively, resulting in repeated defeats. Moreover, the general seemed to be a greenhorn who didn't know how to command and gave chaotic orders, making it impossible for the extraterrestrial demons to organize an effective resistance.
Based on this, the army of the Great Thousand World swept through the land and quickly reclaimed half of the Divine Realm.
As a result, Tianji City lost its function as a frontline city and could only serve as a transit point for supplies.
When Zhou Mu saw the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, he seemed somewhat surprised.
After all, it seemed like he had seen him somewhere before.
The old man of heavenly wisdom chuckled softly, "Young friend Zhou Mu, it's been a long time..."
He was shocked to discover that this young friend had already reached the Saint King level of cultivation, and most importantly, he had already stepped one foot into the Quasi-Emperor realm.
He had cultivated for hundreds of years, but he was only at the Spirit Emperor level.
There was a difference of several hundred years between them.
When he was Zhou Mu's age, he was still struggling with how to advance from the Immortal Realm to the Mortal Realm.
"The younger generation is truly formidable."
As he spoke, he suddenly sensed two extremely powerful auras beside Zhou Mu, auras that had already surpassed the limits of the Spirit Emperor level.
Half-step Spirit God!
After carefully sensing it, he was immediately shocked and looked at Zhou Mu, as if seeking confirmation of its authenticity.
Zhou Mu remained silent, neither nodding nor shaking his head, but instead looked at the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets.
"I have news of Zhou Dandan," said the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets.
Knowing Zhou Mu's purpose in coming, he immediately revealed everything he knew.
After the old man of the heavenly secrets finished speaking, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "You mean that the demons from beyond the realm have captured Dandan and want to use her to blackmail me?"
The old man of the heavenly secrets said with certainty, "It must be so. My men saw it with their own eyes."
Zhou Mu did not question the truthfulness of this statement, because he felt that the old man of the secrets had no reason to deceive him.
Then, he and his men vanished in several streaks of light.
Their target was clearly the location of the extraterrestrial demon's stronghold.
Zhou Mu wanted to meet the so-called ancestor in person.
If they don't hand over the people, then I'm sorry, but I don't mind letting the end of the extraterrestrial demons come sooner.
Inside the central command tent.
Hao Yan looked at the group with a serious expression and said, "Let's begin a truce now. Then, we'll withdraw, with the Divine Realm as the boundary, and the rest will be ours."
"No, I disagree."
Yan Wei, the deputy general, stood up and said, "The army fought desperately on the front lines, and this is the result? It seems a bit unreasonable."
Clearly, he had his own selfish motives behind saying those words.
On one hand, it was to refute, and on the other hand, it was for their own benefit.
