Nine Profound Peak was as usual, except that Zhou Xingdou's return caused all the disciples to come out of their meditation rooms to pay their respects to their chief senior brother and Daozi.
No one in Nine Profound Peak dared to disobey Zhou Xingdou, except for that ungrateful Lin Fan. All the other disciples were grateful to and respected Zhou Xingdou.
Otherwise, Zhou Xingdou would not have been able to become the chief senior disciple simply by virtue of his True Person realm, and even the veteran disciples did not object.
Of course, the most important point is that Stephen Chow has a powerful background and is extremely wealthy.
Lin Hua, who had been resurrected through a body, naturally also appeared among the true disciples. However, Zhou Xingdou did not communicate with him, but only exchanged a glance.
Lin Hua truly lives up to his reputation as a Supreme Soul. He has now entered the Divine Treasure Realm. In the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, which is facing a generational gap, such a level of attainment at his age is already outstanding.
For Zhou Xingdou, these true teachings were of little value. He nodded politely to them and then went to the mountaintop with Luo Hanyi.
Zhou Xingdou did not bring Fahai and Yuan Tian with him into the Xuantian Dao Sect, after all, the replaced Nine-Headed Ancient Dragon was indeed ferocious and needed someone to guard it.
Moreover, within the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, he would not encounter any danger, let alone on Jiu Xuan Peak, Tian Jiu'er's place of quiet cultivation.
Ning Yue then led Zhou Xingdou and Luo Hanyi into the main hall of Nine Profound Peak. Her expression darkened as she closed the doors, and she looked at Zhou Xingdou and Luo Hanyi sternly, saying:
"The Heavenly Peak Master has gone to the outer realms to slay evil. Only the Profound Sect Master and I know about this matter, so your return now is ill-timed!"
"Why did Master go to the outer realms to slay evil?"
Both Zhou Xingdou and Luo Hanyi were somewhat puzzled. The Primordial Dao Domain had four domains in total, and it was close to the Endless Wilderness. It did not border the edge of the world, so naturally there was no passage to the outer domains, and it rarely came into contact with the outside world.
Moreover, the five halls of Xuantian Peak take turns supporting the outer realms twice every ten years, and their ancestors accompany them, so it's impossible for Tian Jiu'er to go.
Ning Yue then looked at Zhou Xingdou with her bright eyes:
"Do you still remember those Saint Realm experts you asked me to kill?"
"Of course, but I never expected that after you left, there would be a great terror that erased the traces."
Zhou Xingdou's expression turned serious. He could not possibly forget that the incident was caused by the jade pendant that Lin Hua had been using. No one expected that eight Great Sages would suddenly appear and try to snatch it.
In the end, Zhou Xingdou summoned Ning Yueze, who killed almost all the Saint Realm experts with a single sword strike, leaving behind a crippled Great Saint for him to interrogate.
But unexpectedly, after Ning Yue left, he encountered that ominous black light. If it weren't for good luck, Zhou Xingdou suddenly felt something was wrong, and the black light almost took his life.
This was also the first time Zhou Xingdou encountered misfortune. At that time, Tian Jiu'er's words were vague and unclear. When he asked her if it was related to evil spirits, Tian Jiu'er answered yes.
He also learned about the Black Light Chaos Cult from Lin Hua.
However, after witnessing a true demon in the Tai Shi Dao Domain, Zhou Xingdou felt that the ominousness of that demon was vastly different from the ominousness he had encountered before.
The ominous black light of the demon was filled with negative emotions and evil energy. Although it was terrifying, it was not enough to make Zhou Xingdou feel fear. Ordinary people would only feel terrified.
However, it is fundamentally different from the ominous black light that fought for the remnant soul of the Supreme Being.
Because that black light was only eerie, unfathomable, uninterpretable, and impossible to delve into.
It was something you couldn't understand or describe. Even now, when Zhou Xingdou recalls that dark light, a faint sense of unease rises in his heart.
Most importantly, after witnessing the true evil, Zhou Xingdou understood that those Saint Realm beings killed by Ning Yueze were not evil, but real humans.
Ning Yue nodded and said:
"That is why Master Tianfeng went to the outer realm."
Before Zhou Xingdou could ask any questions, Ning Yue looked around the empty hall, and after confirming that there was indeed nothing there, she slowly said:
"The Primordial Realm is an extremely pure Dao Domain, and for countless years it has been almost untouched by evil spirits, and the Chaos God Cult has rarely appeared."
If it had only been some lowly minions of the Holy Realm who appeared that day, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but it triggered such a great terror. If it was just a coincidence, then it was too much of a coincidence.
Moreover, within the ten states, our sect has set up a restriction, making it extremely difficult for extraterrestrial forces to manifest. Unless a spy reveals a loophole, even ancient gods cannot penetrate the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Dao's sealing membrane and manifest their terrifying power.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou frowned and said in a deep voice:
"So Aunt Ning means there's a spy in the sect?"
Ning Yue's expression was also extremely solemn:
"It wasn't my idea; it was the idea of the Heavenly Peak Master and the Dao Master."
Moreover, this spy is likely of high rank; it's possible that one of the peak masters, hall masters, or even patriarchs has betrayed Chu Yuan and the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.
Zhou Xingdou felt a slight tremor in his heart. Sure enough, he had a knack for attracting disasters; wherever he went, something big would happen.
The presence of a traitor among the high-ranking members of the Xuantian Dao Sect is a matter of life and death. Just think of the Universal Saint Lord who was corrupted by evil spirits, whose techniques and supernatural powers in the Universal Holy Land were completely exposed.
If Zhou Xingdou and Qin Ming hadn't been there that day, the demons, with their methods of destroying the universe, would have likely slaughtered everyone in the Holy Land of the Universe, even if it hadn't been destroyed.
However, Stephen Chow also had his doubts:
"There are only five hall masters in total, and apart from Master, there is only the peak master of Nine Heavens Peak. Not many of the other ancestors have awakened, so it shouldn't be too hard to guess, right? Why did Master go to the outer realms?"
Ning Yue shook her head:
"No, quite the opposite. The reason it's so difficult to pinpoint is that it involves only a few people, but it encompasses almost all the high-ranking officials and even the ancestors."
Because none of them could and had any reason to betray, the Heavenly Peak Master had no choice but to travel beyond the realm to search for clues.
More importantly, we need to observe the Second Hall and the several elders who are currently on duty outside the region.
Zhou Xingdou was somewhat displeased and said with dissatisfaction:
"Even so, it's still too dangerous. Why doesn't Xuanjizi go to the outer realms!"
After all, venturing into the outer realms not only requires finding clues, but also observing the ancestors and hall masters of the outer realms. The dangers involved are self-evident. If it weren't for her good fortune, the Holy Mother of the Universe would have almost died in the outer realms.
Hearing Zhou Xingdou's words, Ning Yue couldn't help but chuckle, breaking the seriousness in her expression.
"Are you worried about Master Tianfeng?"
"Don't you know how powerful your master is?"
Zhou Xingdou's face darkened as Ning Yue smiled at him. Although he was worried, how could he not be concerned when his loved one was going into danger alone?
"I have never seen the Heavenly Peak Master lose, not even to someone who is called an Ancestor."
"The Sword Master of the Xuantian Dao Sect, the leader of the three great sword immortals, the Emperor Ancestor stated that she is the number one sword cultivator in the initial stage, and all the sword domains are defeated by her. Why should we worry about such a person? You should worry about yourself first."
Even Luo Hanyi couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xingdou with a hint of jealousy, but she didn't seem to have any concern for her master's safety.
After all, she had truly witnessed Tian Jiu'er's prowess and had always only worried about her opponents.
