These elders were undoubtedly much older than Zhou Xingdou, but they dared not show him the slightest disrespect, let alone sit idly by, relying on their seniority.

Even though the Zhou family had left the initial stage, the power behind this young man was still not to be underestimated. In fact, there were only two or three people present whose cultivation surpassed Zhou Xingdou's.

Moreover, Zhou Xingdou had mediated the generations-long blood feud between the Universal Holy Land and the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, and had also received the blessing of the Universal Emperor Ancestor, holding the Universal Ancestral Decree.

The leader of an alliance comparable to an immortal power, whose incident with Zhou Xingdou once triggered a bloodbath that swept across the entire Primordial Era.

The young man before them now not only wielded immense power, but was also known as the most formidable being in the Primordial Era, bar none.

Zhou Xingdou is someone they cannot afford to underestimate, no matter how you look at it.

After returning the gifts, the elders, still somewhat puzzled, asked:

When did Alliance Leader Zhou arrive?

"Why was no one notified of Alliance Leader Zhou's arrival? Do these elders not want to keep their jobs?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow, indeed unsure how to respond, since he had essentially sneaked into the Universal Holy Land.

He originally thought there would be few people in the Universal Palace, but unexpectedly, he happened to be there during the Universal Holy Land meeting. Wan Tianzhou was not there either, and the Universal Holy Mother discovered him while he was hiding his body.

"I originally came here to give Tianzhou a surprise, but I didn't expect him to be absent. I happened to run into you all having a meeting, so please don't be offended."

Zhou Xingdou said, slightly embarrassed.

The elder, who appeared to be a middle-aged woman, smiled and spoke at this moment:

"How could I blame the Alliance Leader? You have the Universal Ancestral Decree, which allows you to freely enter and exit the Universal Holy Land."

If it were anyone else who infiltrated the Universal Palace of the Universal Holy Land, regardless of whether they overheard the important matters of the meeting, they would be skinned alive even if they didn't die today.

But if it's Zhou Xingdou, then it doesn't matter, since what we're discussing today isn't exactly top secret.

Furthermore, even if it's top secret, Zhou Xingdou wouldn't care if he heard it. After all, even if they had objections, could they really threaten to kill Zhou Xingdou?

It's estimated that Zhou Xingdou won't even need to lift a finger; their Holy Lord will already teach them a lesson.

Zhou Xingdou exchanged a few pleasantries with the group of elders, but he was still somewhat embarrassed by being caught doing something wrong, so he naturally wouldn't be too self-righteous.

The Holy Mother of the Universe remained seated on her throne, her eyes fixed intently on Zhou Xingdou's figure. After the pleasantries were nearly finished, she immediately issued an order to leave:

"Elders, today's meeting is almost over. Since Alliance Leader Zhou has come to visit Tian Zhou, I will receive him. I also have some private matters to discuss with Alliance Leader Zhou privately!"

The Holy Mother of the Universe emphasized the words "Alliance Leader Zhou," and the elders could also sense that the atmosphere between Zhou Xingdou and the Holy Mother of the Universe seemed a bit off.

But they didn't say much. They called out to Zhou Xingdou to retreat and then walked out of the ceremonial hall together. However, the whispers of the elders as they left could still be heard:

"No, people don't carry each other anymore?"

"I had heard from the Ninth Ancestor that Zhou Xingdou and Yunlian had an unusual relationship, but now it seems that the Ninth Ancestor is telling the truth."

"However, the Holy Lord treats Alliance Leader Zhou as a brother, and now that things have turned out this way, the relationship is rather complicated..."

"We urgently need to find a word that describes something even more chaotic than the collapse of traditional social order..."

...

These idle gossips disappeared after the elders left the Universal Palace, but they still made the Universal Mother blush and angrily retort:

"These old geezers! They're spouting nonsense!"

It was obvious that the elders' whispers were meant for Zhou Xingdou and the Holy Mother of the Universe. Otherwise, given the cultivation levels of those present, they would not have been able to hear any whispers unless they used telepathy.

This was simply a reminder to the two of them not to go too far.

Sensing that the elders had left, Zhou Xingdou was no longer restrained. As for the words he had just spoken, they had no effect on him other than making him feel a little awkward.

While the Holy Mother of the Universe was still annoyed by the old men's nonsense and cursing them under her breath, she suddenly felt a pair of large hands lift her up. She didn't struggle, but a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes again, and she said in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh, the Grand Alliance Leader still remembers a lowly woman like me. I am truly flattered."

Zhou Xingdou supported the Holy Mother of the Universe's legs and back with both hands, lifting her from the throne. Looking at her stunningly curvaceous figure and trembling curves, he smiled and said:

"The Virgin Mary is not small at all."

As he spoke, Zhou Xingdou hugged the Holy Mother of the Universe tightly and whispered fiercely in her ear:

"Today, I will avenge my past grievances!"

He came here today not only to get Wan Tianzhou to help him, but also to avenge his previous humiliation!

Back when he was still in the Holy Realm, he almost died at the hands of the Holy Mother of the Universe.

Now that his vitality is as bright as the sun and his cultivation has reached the peak of Quasi-Emperor, with two systems under his body and his cultivation techniques integrated into a single Punishment Scripture, how could he not come to seek revenge!

The Holy Mother of the Universe's expression instantly turned playful. Looking at Zhou Xingdou's confident face, she sneered:

"If Tianzhou knew that his good brother would bully his mother as soon as he returned, he would probably chase after you and beat you up."

Though she said this, the Holy Mother of the Universe lifted Zhou Xingdou's chin with her jade hand, saying with a hint of provocation:

"Let this Holy Mother see how far your cultivation has progressed in the past twenty years, and whether you are truly capable of avenging your grievances."

Stephen Chow smiled and, without saying a word, sealed the lips of the Holy Mother of the Universe with his, seemingly wanting to catch up with her...

At this very moment, Yuan Tian, ​​who was outside the door, was also discovered by the elders and was awkwardly smiling apologetically to them.

As a key diplomatic figure in the Star Alliance, Yuan Tian was quite familiar with these elders, so he wasn't attacked by them as a treacherous villain.

Moreover, Yuan Tian was a smooth talker, and the elders all had a very good impression of him. Since their statuses were not much different, they started joking with him:

"Oh, so Yuan Dazhong has come to inspect our sacred land of the universe today?"

Yuan Tian gave an awkward laugh:

"How could I dare? I would like to ask you seniors to give me, a junior, more guidance."

But just as Yuan Tian finished speaking, the Universal Palace suddenly trembled twice. When everyone looked at the Universal Palace, they could easily see sound waves echoing in the palace. If they hadn't been neutralized by the formation, they probably would have penetrated the entire Universal Holy Land.

Yuan Tian was stunned for a moment. How could he not know what this meant? He immediately looked at the elders with a bitter expression, only to see that the elders of the Universal Holy Land all had ashen faces.

"This is an insult to civility!"

"Outrageous!"

"The rites and music have collapsed!"

...

After a series of angry words, all the elders looked at Yuan Tian with unfriendly eyes.

At this moment, Yuan Tian was still extremely bitter:

"Would you elders believe me if I said that this was a friendly exchange between my young master and the Holy Mother of the Universe?"
