Although Zhou Mu was extremely curious about Zhou Dandan's appearance, he ultimately did not ask her.
Some things are better left unsaid; if you investigate them too thoroughly, they lose their very meaning.
It seemed that something was gradually slipping out of his control, but Zhou Mu couldn't quite put his finger on what it felt like.
Especially the system, which inexplicably gained an extra cooldown period.
Moreover, although he had clearly burned his divine soul, in the end he was only in a coma for a few days and nothing else happened. Although he had such a bizarre dream, it didn't prove anything.
When Zhou Dandan arrived, Zhou Mu was very excited, especially when the latter kept calling him "brother," he was overjoyed.
So, a side room was arranged next to his room, still according to the standards for a little princess. Fortunately, some rare items were also obtained, so that this delicate little princess would not be mistreated.
In the evening, Zhou Mu was inside the house when he suddenly heard some noises outside the door. When he went out, he felt a strong wind blow past, and a biting cold hit him. A strange smell filled his nostrils. But by the time he realized what was happening, a dark figure had already flashed past him.
Zhou Mu's heart was pounding; in the quiet night, he could almost hear his own heartbeat.
"That was... an assassin?"
His first reaction was to check on Zhou Dandan's safety. When he saw that the light in the side room was still burning faintly, he finally felt relieved.
However, already somewhat suspicious, he immediately went to find Lu Shan. Clearly, Lu Shan had also discovered the presence of the dark figure, and the two met in the corridor.
Zhou Mu spoke up: "You saw it too?"
Lu Shan glanced around with a serious expression, then quietly approached Zhou Mu and whispered, "I feel that these things are inextricably linked to Zhang Heng."
After all, this guy has a precedent to follow.
Zhou Mu shook his head and said, "I think that after what happened, the Eastern Divine Continent will definitely go to Zhang Heng for questioning, so he shouldn't cause any trouble during this period."
That makes some sense.
However, within the Desolate Heaven Domain, apart from the Phantom Pavilion, it seems that all those who were enemies of the Heavenly Inquiry Tower have disappeared.
So who exactly did this?
With this question in mind, Zhou Mu slept soundly until dawn.
He slept very soundly, though.
The next morning.
Bang bang bang
Outside, there was another loud knocking. Unlike before, this time after knocking, the door was kicked open, and the person rushed in rather recklessly, his heavy footsteps making the bed shake.
So, before that person even entered, Zhou Mu had already woken up. He opened his eyes and saw Lu Shan. Before he could speak, Lu Shan shoved a letter into his hand and said anxiously, "Jin Yu... Jin Yu has left."
Zhou Mu snapped awake and hurriedly went to look at the letter.
After reading it, he stared blankly at Lu Shan, "When did this happen?"
"Just now."
Zhou Mu rushed out, but the boudoir was now empty. For some reason, Zhou Mu felt empty inside. He had known this day would come, but he never expected it to come so soon.
Jiang Jinyu is gone.
She... really left.
...
The atmosphere inside the Sihai Pavilion was extremely tense.
On his high position, Zhao Tianfu's chest heaved violently, and intense anger surged across his face. If the person speaking to him hadn't been his right-hand man, he would have really wanted to kill this person who was reporting bad news.
"What did you say?"
He repeated it again.
Shangguan Peng took a light breath and said, "The Phantom Pavilion is gone... The Sword God Palace has now allied with the Heavenly Inquiry Tower. With the two complementing each other, it will probably be even more difficult in the future."
Shangguan Peng's words are not without reason.
Although Wentian Tower's reputation is currently somewhat inferior to that of the Sword God Palace, there is no doubt that even the Four Seas Pavilion is quite astonished by Wentian Tower's profound foundation.
Now that the two have formed an alliance, it will be difficult to carry out any future plans targeting the Sword God Temple.
However, for now, this is not the most important thing.
With the Phantom Pavilion gone, the only force in the Desolate Sky Domain capable of rivaling the Sword God Palace was gone, and his last remaining hope was also gone.
Thinking about this, Zhao Tianfu felt extremely angry.
He stood up with a gloomy face and waved to the guard beside him. The guard was not stupid and naturally understood what this meant, but he did not dare to shake his head to refuse. Zhao Tianfu was already in a bad mood, and he was afraid of angering him again, so he could only lower his head and walk over.
Bang
Just as he stood in front of Zhao Tianfu, the latter slapped him hard across the face, and then everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.
Zhao Tianfu had found a way to vent his anger and gradually calmed down. However, the guard was in a terrible state; his bones were shattered into powder, and he was no different from a pile of minced meat.
Shangguan Peng was already used to it. He waved his hand, and several people immediately came in from outside the door. They stood behind Shangguan Peng, looking down at their noses and with cold expressions.
"Investigate the family of this guard, make sure the compensation is in place, and tell the public that he sacrificed himself for the Four Seas Pavilion," Shangguan Peng said.
The men nodded, glanced at the pile of minced meat, and then walked out.
"Sect Master."
Shangguan Peng sighed and said, "You need to change your temperament. If you continue like this, something terrible will happen."
At this moment, Zhao Tianfu was not listening to any of the advice. He sneered, "I'm afraid there is no future. Once the Sword God Palace finds out, it will definitely settle accounts with the Four Seas Pavilion. Do you think the Four Seas Pavilion, with its current strength, can be a match for the Sword God Palace?"
Bang bang bang
Outside the main hall, a guard with a sword hurried in, cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, the Lord of the Sword God Hall requests an audience."
Zhao Tianfu's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at Shangguan Peng, saying, "See, I told you so, you really did come."
He stood up abruptly, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged, slowly circling around him like a long dragon.
Whether from excitement or fear, his chest heaved violently. Shangguan Peng glanced suspiciously at the guard with the sword and asked, "Did you come alone?"
The guard said, "The Lord of the Sword God Palace has come alone."
“Sect Master, the Lord of the Sword God Palace shouldn’t be here seeking revenge. Besides, your matter is so well-hidden that no one else knows about it except you and me. There’s no need to scare yourself,” Shangguan Peng said.
Zhao Tianfu thought that made the same sense.
He withdrew his supernatural powers.
He said calmly, "Since that's the case, then I'll go see him. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. I don't believe he can cause any trouble on the Four Seas Pavilion's territory."
