"Sorry, I can't do it!"
Wan Tianzhou looked at Wan Qianlong with a somewhat complicated expression, but his obsidian-like eyes were unwavering.
This statement caused an uproar.
The Holy Mother of the Universe's expression changed, and she no longer cared about Zhou Xingdou beside her, immediately speaking up to reprimand him:
"Tian Zhou! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Zhou Xingdou was also extremely helpless. If Bai Yulong was extremely stupid, then Wan Tianzhou was extremely dumbfounded.
It seems unlikely that things will end well today.
Wan Qianlong's eyes narrowed slightly. He wasn't angry, but an aura of authority and invisible pressure enveloped Wan Tianzhou before him.
"What does the Holy Lord mean? Are you unwilling to avenge the countless disciples who died tragically at the hands of the Yin-Yang Grotto?"
Wan Tianzhou showed no sign of wavering; on the contrary, his eyes were firm, and he said in a strong and resolute voice:
"Wan Qianlong, the Holy Land of the Universe is not a tool for revenge!"
Being addressed by Wan Tianzhou's given name and uttered such words, even Wan Qianlong couldn't help but turn cold. The air was thick with chill, making everyone present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Wan Tianzhou, do you know what you're saying?"
A magnificent imperial aura rose from Wan Qianlong's body at this moment. The dozens of elders behind him remained silent, but they also pushed their power to the extreme, causing the heavens and earth to change color and the void to wail.
Dozens of oppressive forces pressed down on Wan Tianzhou without warning. This was no longer the invisible pressure that caused Wan Tianzhou's body to tremble and his brows to furrow.
“Senior, please speak properly. If you intend to use your power to intimidate others, I, Zhou, will not agree.”
At this point, Zhou Xingdou could no longer care about anything else and had no choice but to intervene.
In an instant, Wan Qianlong turned his gaze to Zhou Xingdou, only to see Chen Nong beside Zhou Xingdou gripping his hoe tightly, a powerful energy already gathering on the ground in front of him.
Wei Luosheng smiled slightly, and Confucian and Taoist scriptures swirled around him, his righteous aura soaring into the sky.
Behind Zhou Xingdou, a star-patterned robe and a star-studded face appeared, revealing the Star Nether Commander, who stood on the edge between the tangible and the intangible. The Milky Way flowed above the star-patterned face, and an incomparably sharp imperial might locked onto Wan Qianlong.
Unless absolutely necessary, Wan Qianlong would not offend Zhou Xingdou, nor would he want to offend Chen Nongwei, Luo Sheng, or the Star-Faced Man who made him feel extremely dangerous.
But Wan Tianzhou's words had crossed his bottom line, and he absolutely could not let it go:
“Zhou Zunzi, I respect the Zhou family, but this is a matter of my Huanyu family. Although you have the Huanyu Ancestral Decree, you are ultimately an outsider. Have you meddled too much today?”
Zhou Xingdou's silvery-white eyes surged with purple energy as he sneered:
"Wan Qianlong, have I been too kind to you?"
The situation is dire, not because of Wan Qianlong, but because those affiliated forces below the Holy Platform are extremely dissatisfied with Wan Tianzhou's words.
Zhou Xingdou can't reason with grand principles, nor does he want to.
It would be better to just overturn the table and muddy the waters first. Once I clash with Wan Qianlong, attention will be drawn to me, and only in this way can Wan Tianzhou's predicament be resolved.
Since I'm the eldest brother, I have to shoulder some responsibilities.
Moreover, he had no intention of letting the Holy Mother of the Universe go; she was practically a father to his own brother.
Zhou Xingdou also took the opportunity to glare at the Holy Mother of the Universe beside him. He had done so much, and if he couldn't get the Holy Mother's help, he would really be at a huge loss!
The Holy Mother of the Universe was taken aback by Zhou Xingdou's glare and was somewhat at a loss, not quite understanding what Zhou Xingdou meant.
Having been attacked by juniors who addressed him by his given name repeatedly, Wan Qianlong was already losing face, not to mention there were hundreds of thousands of cultivators below him.
"Zhou Zunzi, you've gone too far!"
Seeing the bewildered expression on the Holy Mother of the Universe's face, Zhou Xingdou felt a surge of irritation, and upon hearing Wan Qianlong's words, he was immediately enraged.
"You son of a bitch! I'll call you senior if I'm being polite, otherwise you're nothing but bullshit!"
Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone Wan Qianlong, who has fought for many years and is an elder of the clan.
Before Wan Qianlong could speak, the elders behind him had already spoken:
"Vulgar language!"
"Even if you are a esteemed member of the Zhou family, how dare you insult us like this?"
"Elder Qianlong is right, Young Master Zhou, you have gone too far!"
However, Zhou Xingdou's method was indeed effective. At this moment, no one cared about what Wan Tianzhou had just said. Even the hundreds of thousands of cultivators below the Holy Platform were drawn to Zhou Xingdou's hatred.
Stephen Chow's actions were out of desperation; he was not the kind of person who would use foul language and be so unstable.
However, in order to attract hatred, humbling oneself to insult Wan Qianlong is definitely the most effective method.
If we speak calmly and rationally, we can't resolve the situation for Wan Tianzhou. Only by breaking with convention can we muddy the waters.
Stephen Chow didn't stop talking and continued:
"What are you pretending for? Isn't it just that your wife ran off with the Yin-Yang Cave Master from your generation and cheated on you in front of your face?"
You were merely seeking revenge, yet you caused countless generations of disciples of the Holy Land of the Universe to pay the price for your personal vendetta with their lives.
"If you're so capable, why don't you go find the one who cheated on you? You even forced generations of Universal Saints to wage war against the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, causing so many innocent disciples to die for such a petty grudge. Do you even deserve to be a Universal Elder!"
Zhou Xingdou deliberately amplified these words with his magic power, making them almost penetrate the entire Holy Land of the Universe, allowing hundreds of thousands of disciples below the Holy Platform to hear them clearly.
This claim is not entirely unfounded. Moreover, Zhou Xingdou once found a copy of the Tai Shi Unofficial History in the Zhou family's treasure vault, the contents of which were shocking and terrifying.
Unofficial histories may not be true, but they are certainly unofficial enough.
Wan Qianlong, as the figure who plunged the Tai Shi Dao Domain into endless war, is mentioned in almost a third of unofficial histories.
Most of the details involved him being cuckolded by the Yin-Yang Cave Master. At the time, Stephen Chow watched from the Yin-Yang Cave Master's perspective and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Of course, to be fair, if someone were to make a hat for Zhou Xingdou, he might be even more ruthless than Wan Qianlong.
However, this did not prevent Stephen Chow from using this to criticize Wan Qianlong.
Zhou Xingdou's words shook the world even more than Wan Tianzhou's. Even the Holy Mother of the World was surprised, and some elders looked at Wan Qianlong in astonishment.
The cultivators below the stage were speechless with shock at such unofficial history, and even began to whisper among themselves.
If someone else had said this, probably no one would have believed it, but coming from someone like Stephen Chow, it feels about 80% true.
At this moment, Wei Luosheng looked somewhat embarrassed and whispered to Zhou Xingdou:
"Young Master, did you find a copy of the Unofficial History of the Primordial Era...?"
"Yes, why?"
Zhou Xingdou wasn't surprised that Wei Luosheng knew, since he was in charge of annotating scriptures in the treasure vault. The Tai Shi Ye Shi would probably have to catch his eye first before it was placed in the treasure vault.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just curious whether the young master found out from there."
Wei Luosheng's lips twitched. Of course, he couldn't tell Zhou Xingdou that the Tai Shi Unofficial History was something he had compiled and written for fun, and that he had accidentally left it in the treasure vault.
After all, for a sage king of Confucianism and Taoism to compile books on wind and snow is an insult to literature...
