After Chen Nong, Wei Luosheng, Tianyin, and Yuchi Li left Zhou Tian Palace, only Zhou Xingdou, Luo Hanyi, Qin Ming, and the seemingly nonexistent Xingyou Commander remained in the vast palace.

Zhou Xingdou also rose from his seat, looked at Qin Ming with a slight frown, and asked:

"Uncle Qin, Xingyou was created as a secret guard for me, why have I never known about it?"

Qin Ming's lips twitched upon hearing this. He gave Zhou Xingdou a complicated look before slowly explaining:

"The old master and the Azure Emperor once said that if the young master is not capable, then the Starry Night should remain sealed. Otherwise, it would be a waste to give it to you, young master, and the Starry Night would be destroyed."

As he spoke, Qin Ming glanced at Zhou Xingdou's expression and, finding that his face hadn't changed much, continued:

"Those above and below Xingyou are all powerful individuals who once followed the Azure Emperor in the outer realms and were corrupted by misfortune while fighting against evil spirits."

The Azure Emperor and the Old Master reopened the cycle of reincarnation for them, protecting their true spirits as they were reborn and rebuilt. After washing away those painful memories, those who were still willing to follow the Zhou family and the Azure Emperor formed the Xingyou of today.

Therefore, if you, young master, are incompetent, you could very well bring about the destruction of these Xingyou people who have made great contributions in battle. That is why I have not yet entrusted Xingyou to you.

Zhou Xingdou nodded knowingly, but he didn't feel any dissatisfaction. After all, it was fortunate that it hadn't been handed over to him directly before, otherwise he would have been doing the work for that dead man Lin Fan in his previous life.

It was indeed a wise move not to hand Xingyou over to you back then. I guess the old man also felt sorry for Xingyou and his group of strong people who had already died once for the Zhou family, so he didn't want them to die a second time at Zhou Xingdou's hands.

But it was impossible for Zhou Xingdou, the secret guard, not to be envious, so he asked Qin Ming again:

"Uncle Qin, did Grandpa send Xingyou out today to give it to me?"

After all, Xingyou was kept hidden away by the old man. If he hadn't personally made Xingyou appear, Old Chen probably wouldn't have been able to find this Xingyou commander.

Qin Ming shrugged and said:

"Don't ask me, I don't know. I've only met Commander Xingyou a few times. You might as well ask You directly."

But just as Qin Ming finished speaking, Commander Xingyou shouted:

"Young Master is the son of the Azure Emperor. All of Xingyou should protect him with all their might and honor him as the Star Lord. Even if we die nine times, we will not regret it!"

In an instant, over a hundred ethereal black figures appeared in the Zhou Tian Palace, shouting in unison:

"All of Xingyou are willing to honor the young master as the Star Lord! We will protect him with all our might, even if it means dying nine times!"

Zhou Xingdou was also shocked by the scene, because not only was You, the leader of Xingyou, but the other hundred or so black shadows were also as ethereal as You, making it impossible for people to detect their existence.

Even Zhou Xingdou didn't know when these people appeared in the Zhou Tian Palace, and apart from Commander Xingyou, those dark figures disappeared again after appearing for a moment.

fear!

Besides terrifying, Zhou Xingdou couldn't think of any other word to describe Xingyou.

You should know that although he was only at the God King level, even saints could not escape the light of his true eyes, yet I still could not sense the existence of Xingyou in the slightest.

If it were used for assassination, the victim might not even know what happened when they were dying.

However, this reminded Zhou Xingdou of something, and he looked at the ethereal figure of Commander Xingyou and said:

"Is Xingyou good at intelligence gathering?"

Commander Xingyou replied:

“Xingyou has not yet stepped out of the Zhou family, but our bodies are the best proof. If the young master needs information, Xingyou can go and collect it now.”

Zhou Xingdou's eyes flickered slightly as he said:

"Investigate whether there is anyone named Du Buhui around Du Yu, the goddess of Hundred Flowers Valley. Also, investigate the news about Wan Tianzhou of the Universal Holy Land and the battle between Wan Jun and the Pantheon."

Zhou Xingdou naturally hadn't forgotten Du Yu, the destined heroine. He could also use her to test Xingyou's intelligence-gathering abilities. If he could find out where Du Buhui was, it would save him a lot of trouble.

As for Wan Tianzhou and Dou Wanjun, these two inheritors of the immortal forces did make things difficult for Xing Youcha, but Zhou Xingdou did not want Xing Youcha to find out too much useful information.

Moreover, not long after, he will personally visit the Holy Land of the Universe to see Wan Tianzhou, whose personality has changed drastically, and to see if he has truly been possessed by someone from another world, just as he has imagined.

Upon hearing Zhou Xingdou's order, the starlight on Commander Xingyou's star surface flickered, seemingly in joy:

"Yes, sir! The Starry Night Society will deliver the intelligence to the Star Lord within one day!"

Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly and waved his hand, but:

"Alright, take Xingyou down there."

He didn't want a group of unseen and intangible people watching him, since his safety was not a problem within the Zhou family and he didn't need any protection.

The Star Ghost Commander slammed his right fist into the ground to receive the order:

"Yes! If the Star Lord needs to find me in the future, he only needs to call out 'You'."

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

After speaking, Commander Xingyou's figure vanished like dust, leaving no trace.

Even now, when Zhou Xingdou recalls it, the figure of Commander Xingyou fades, and he even feels as if he was talking to thin air.

This made Zhou Xingdou ponder for a moment, and then he asked Luo Hanyi:

"Hanyi, what do you think of Commander Xingyou?"

A look of confusion flickered in Luo Hanyi's beautiful eyes:

"What star, what commander?"

Stephen Chow narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Do you remember how many people His Highness had just been with him?"

Luo Hanyi rolled her eyes at Zhou Xingdou, feeling that Zhou Xingdou was treating her like an idiot, and said irritably:

"Of the six servants, you killed two of them, leaving four."

Zhou Xingdou was startled, then looked at Qin Ming, who said with a half-smile:

"This is Xingyou's skill. They can only be remembered when they want others to remember them. As for why, you can only ask the old man and the Azure Emperor."

Zhou Xingdou then realized that he had underestimated the Xingyou that his parents had left him; its terror far exceeded his imagination.

"Uncle Qin, do you know how powerful Commander Xingyou is?"

This question immediately startled Qin Ming, causing his brows to furrow slightly.

"I...forgot!"

The fact that Qin Ming could forget about it made Zhou Xingdou wonder if this Commander Xingyou was even more powerful than Qin Ming.

Wouldn't that mean I'd take off immediately?

Qin Ming seemed to have seen through Zhou Xingdou's thoughts, and shook his head with a light laugh, saying:

"Don't overthink it. When I said I forgot, it was my avatar who forgot, but I remember that You is definitely not as strong as me."

Stephen Chow was not disappointed:

"If it can make your avatar forget, then even the Holy Lord of the Universe will likely be affected."

After saying this, Zhou Xingdou finally remembered Yuan Tian and Fahai, and asked Qin Ming:

"Uncle Qin, where are my two subordinates?"

Qin Ming said with a half-smile:

"You brought them here just so I could train them for you, right?"

"They should be growing rapidly now."

Meanwhile, in a void shrouded in deep, dark mist, Yuan Tian's lips twitched as he looked at a group of eerie creatures exuding an aura of despair and death:

"Damn it! If I had known this would happen, I would never have come in!"
