Zhou Mu naturally did not believe this explanation.
Although, at this moment, because he doesn't understand much about what's in front of him, he's being led by the nose in everything he does.
This feeling was unpleasant, and he desperately wanted to break free from this constraint, but he could only grope in the dark here, since his influence had not yet spread here.
However, he also had his own judgment. After all, he had experienced two lifetimes and many ups and downs over the years, so some things were simply too obvious.
This is inextricably linked to the City Lord's Mansion and the Nine Star Auction House.
First of all, the timing of Dandan's entry into the Nine Star Auction House was suspicious. At first, he didn't realize it, but after calming down a bit, he slowly realized that something was wrong.
The appearance of Zhou Dandan was something that caught everyone off guard. It is no exaggeration to say that no one else could possibly know Zhou Dandan except Zhou Mu. At least, as of now, no one could possibly know her.
Therefore, how could there be any claim that Zhou Dandan was seen entering the Nine Star Auction House?
Upon closer reflection, there are simply too many suspicious points. However, Zhou Mu was in a great hurry at the time and did not think about that aspect at all. It was only after calming down that he saw so many loopholes.
"In that case, if I find out that you have any connection with this matter, then I'm sorry."
At this moment, Zhou Mu had no choice but to make threats.
Han Fei has already gone into seclusion, and the remaining few are no match for Cao Feng, the city lord of Yongning City. Apart from temporarily avoiding his sharp edge, they probably have no better choice.

Within the Great Wilderness City
Hei Bo stood on the threshold of Wentian Tower, his expression showing a hint of composure, his sharp profile revealing a touch of coldness. Beside him, Wang Xu stood quietly.
Neither of them spoke.
The atmosphere was very gentle.
After about fifteen minutes, Wang Xu turned his head slightly to look at Uncle Hei, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Have you decided how to make your move?"
Uncle Hei nodded, looking into Wang Xu's dark eyes, and said, "The saying goes, 'To catch the thief, first catch the king,' so we should definitely strike at the strong first. Moreover, I think this is the easiest way."
Once the strongest have submitted, wouldn't the remaining weak ones follow suit and submit to him?
Otherwise, given the sheer size of Great Wilderness City, there are over a thousand powerful factions alone, not to mention the countless smaller, insignificant ones.
The strongman that Hei Bo was referring to was naturally the Four Seas Pavilion, but he put it in a slightly more subtle way.
The Sword God Palace is the strongest, but it cannot be touched.
“Sure, sure, but…” Wang Xu hesitated.
He wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words. However, this made Uncle Hei, who was always impatient, very anxious. "But what? Why do you leave half of what you say?"
After a moment, he raised an eyebrow, as if he had guessed what the latter wanted to say, and sneered, saying, "Although the Four Seas Pavilion has stood in the Desolate Heaven Domain for a long time, in terms of foundation, at most it can produce a Saint King, which is the highest it can achieve. In the end, it is not as good as us, so there is no need to worry."
Wang Xu was only worried about this point, but after Hei Bo made it clear, he had no more concerns. So he nodded and said, "Since you think so, then I don't seem to have any reason to object. Do as you say, and I hope your efforts will not ruin the value of that jade human face statue."
After Wang Xu finished speaking, Hei Bo's figure disappeared without leaving a trace.
Only then did Wang Xu slowly walk over. As he passed the threshold, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the east, which was the direction Zhou Mu was heading, and the location of Yongning City.
His eyes revealed a hint of complexity as he murmured, "This is a test for you. I hope you can get through it and be reborn."
After he finished speaking, he took a long breath, and when he exhaled, his eyes showed a clearer look.
A smile immediately appeared on his lips, and he kicked his foot and slowly walked in.
The door closed slowly, seemingly cutting itself off from the outside world.
Demon Realm
Inside the cell
Looking at her father, who had already surrendered in the prison cell, Feng Qitong couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
He was quite surprised by the Great Wizard's actions. Even after being imprisoned, he couldn't believe that his father, who had been the Demon Clan Chief for so many years, was completely powerless to fight back against the Great Wizard's harassment.
Do they really intend to solidify the reputation of being incompetent and foolish?
In the dimly lit room, Feng Qitong couldn't see Feng Qizi's appearance clearly. He didn't know how to describe his current state, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
Lonely.
It came on overwhelmingly.
Feng Qizi closed his eyes, seemingly oblivious to the outside world.
He didn't say anything.
The cell was quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Qizi slowly opened his eyes and said softly, "I know what you think of me, but none of that matters. For the sake of the Demon Clan's century-long plan, I can make any sacrifice."
After he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes again.
At this moment, Feng Qitong finally understood that the deal his father made with Uncle Hei was nothing more than a so-called promise.
The Grand Wizard's conspiracy appeared to have succeeded on the surface, but it was all orchestrated by Feng Qizi behind the scenes.
It was only then that he realized with astonishment how foolish he had been.
How could his father, who had been the clan chief for so many years, be completely without any methods?
He realized he was completely wrong, and he slowly stood up, his expression undergoing a complex change.
A strange smile appeared on Feng Qizi's lips.
Feng Qitong stood in front of Feng Qizi, her face tinged with sadness. After thinking for a while, she said, "Father, do you really consider me your child? Or am I just a pawn in your game, a pawn for you to accomplish your grand scheme?"
Feng Qizi opened his eyes, smiled faintly, and a nonchalant smile appeared on his lips. He said, "Are you going to doubt even this?"
In an instant, a complex emotion welled up in Feng Qitong's heart that she could not describe, and she did not know how to express that feeling.
It's like a dull knife slowly rubbing against my heart.
This feeling is very uncomfortable.
Feng Qitong let out a long breath, his eyes shifting, but he remained silent. He finally understood his father's plan, but it was too late. His body was already tainted by demonic energy, and he could no longer enter the Great Thousand World.
Unless he leads a massive demon army to attack. But if he does that, he'll have no choice but to become an enemy of the dragon race, and of Jiang Jinyu.
Without a doubt, this is something he absolutely does not want to see.
