After taking down the Clock Tower and obtaining the second sacred relic, Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He waved to Luna outside and then went up the stairs of the Clock Tower to the second floor, where he could see the outside situation and also remove the effects of the sacred object.

Gu Xi cleared away the effects that had landed on the Evil Coffin before taking a look inside the Clock Tower.

This Clock Tower has Three Layers. The first floor is the main entrance to the Clock Tower. The second floor is a small room that can control the Clock Tower's defenses. The third floor is the actual clock tower, which is actually functional.

In Victoria City, the sacred gear is housed in the clock tower's large clock, while the sacred object in front of us is the giant hand placed outside the clock tower.

If Gu Xi wants to remove the sacred relic— the Time Pointer —going up to the third floor is definitely the right thing to do.

But Gu Xi wasn't stupid. The sacred objects had already been arranged, so why would he want to demolish the Clock Tower?

Having figured out how the Clock Tower worked, Gu Xi had nothing more to check. He hurried downstairs and pushed open the door.

"Luna, this building has been captured."

Only after hearing Gu Xi's words did Luna approach Gu Xi.

Gu Xi explained the effects of the sacred relic - the Time Pointer.

Luna immediately nodded to show that she understood, "Don't worry, my lord, I will make good use of the effects of using it once a week and will not waste such a good effect."

Luna was overjoyed when she said this. As the City Spirit, she knew all too well that sometimes it was just a matter of being just a little bit off.

Having such a sacred object is like having a hand that can adjust production at any time. If it's just a little off, a slight push can change the situation.

After Luna took over the Clock Tower, Gu Xi led everyone on a tour of the Upper District to make sure nothing was missed before speaking to Luna.

"I'll leave things here to you for now. Get the Core Building built first, and leave the other buildings empty for now if you don't have the blueprints. Prioritize the planning, and we'll talk about it after I get the blueprints done."

Luna said confidently, "My lord, you can rest assured."

Gu Xi didn't say anything more. He raised his hand and left the Aryadovi City.

As the master of the Death City, Gu Xi can freely enter and leave the Aryadovi City.

However, there are restrictions on where one can enter and exit.

Outside the city, Gu Xi will find out where he entered Aryadovi City and where he will be after he leaves.

When entering the city from outside, he would always appear at the Council Hall, but there were no restrictions on leaving Aryadovi City.

This is actually a kind of alternative Teleport, a little trick that allows him to return to the Council Hall from anywhere in Aryadovi City.

As he raised his hand, Gu Xi's vision blurred, and then a suit of metal armor appeared in front of him.

The armor was about his height, and a piece of black, semi-transparent cloth hung on the Helmet.

Looking back, Du Wushuang was fast asleep, hugging her blanket.

Gu Xi shook his head helplessly. All these players in the Loose Immortal Garden looked like slackers.

Don't they have any lofty goals? He's already back in Aryadovi City and taken over two districts, why is Du Wushuang still sleeping?

Gu Xi glanced down at his clothes, picked up the Cold Wind Staff, and pushed open the door.

Since there's still some time, Gu Xi plans to take a stroll through the Loose Immortal Garden.

Just as Gu Xi was about to push open the door, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky.

The sound was like thunder, or like the sound of drums.

Just as Gu Xi was wondering what was going on, a burst of intense drumming sounded again.

This reminded Gu Xi of the situation he encountered when he first arrived at the Loose Immortal Garden.

Will the White Walkers attack the Loose Immortal Garden again?

"Get up quickly, a battle is about to begin."

Although Gu Xi couldn't understand the meaning behind the drumbeats, he still instinctively looked at Du Wushuang.

Before he could react, Du Wushuang, who had just been hugging the blanket and showing his short legs, jumped out of bed.

She didn't care what clothes she wore, and somehow grabbed a piece of pink cloth, tied her hair up, and jumped in front of a suit of armor.

Do you need my help?

Seeing Du Wushuang struggling to dismantle the heavy armor, Gu Xi couldn't help but ask a question.

"No need, you don't know how to do this. If you come to help me, you'll only make things worse. I can do it myself."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi didn't go up to help, but instead asked about the meaning of the drumbeats in the Loose Immortal Garden.

"Can you understand what the drumbeats are trying to convey?"

"We can't tell, and there's no need to tell. The faster the drumbeat, the more urgent the matter. This sound is clearly not that urgent. When we go to report to Wood later, we can at least bring some food with us."

As she spoke, Du Wushuang had already put on the armor. Then she hugged the Helmet to her chest and strained to look outside through the eyes that were visible from her neck.

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

"It looks good, but I remember you weren't wearing any clothes. Is this okay?"

"It's alright, there's a lining inside the armor, it won't hurt my skin. Let's go, otherwise Wood will start nagging again."

After saying that, Du Wushuang quickly pushed open the door, turned around, looked around, and pointed in a direction.

"It looks like there's a big mission at General's Platform today. Let's hurry over there; if we manage to snag a good mission, there will be great rewards."

As Du Wushuang spoke, he picked up his Helmet and dragged Gu Xi along with one hand, running towards the direction from which the drum sound came.

Seeing Du Wushuang like this, Gu Xi flipped his hand and jumped onto the Evil Coffin, while temporarily lending the Skeleton Warhorse to Du Wushuang.

When Gu Xi delivered Du Wushuang to the Skeleton Warhorse, he finally understood why Du Wushuang's mount had been sent for training all along.

Her legs were still a bit too short. It might have been better if she wore armor made to her proportions, but Du Wushuang didn't want people to think she was short.

She usually wears heavy armor, so her control over her mount is definitely not as precise.

In addition, the Death Knight's mounts are all undead creatures, which do not have much intelligence and require the Death Knight to control them meticulously.

Given Du Wushuang's subtle control, Gu Xi could simply let it go.

With this in mind, Gu Xi reached out and controlled the direction of the Skeleton Warhorse.

This made their progress much faster. Du Wushuang led the way, and soon they arrived at the General's Platform the drums were being beaten.

Wood, Gu Xi had met once before, was standing on the platform with his hands behind his back. Beside him stood a necromancer with a long white beard and a Death Knight in full golden armor.

"The Knight Commander and the Mage Leader have both arrived; something big is about to happen."
