After Yuan Tian left, Zhou Xingdou stopped dawdling and slowly walked into the giant star chariot.
With Commander Xingyou, Yuan Tian, and Qing Yanjing all away, his surroundings were indeed much quieter, but the defensive forces were also somewhat less available.
The strongest person by his side now is Fahai, who is at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Venerable realm, but that is enough. After all, even though there are undercurrents in the Primordial Dao Domain, the protection of the Heavenly Venerables is more than sufficient.
Moreover, Zhou Xingdou also has 108 Star Guardians.
However, this time, he also planned to send out the Star Guardians to gather intelligence.
Zhou Xingdou sat upright on the giant chariot throne, his eyes flashing, and softly exclaimed:
"Star One!"
In an instant, a starlight flashed before Zhou Xingdou's throne, and a half-illusory, half-real Star Guardian appeared before him, wearing a star robe and a star mask. The only difference was that his mask had a thick, jet-black line across it.
The Star Guardians only have code names, not real names.
Apart from the fact that the code name of the Star Demon Commander is "You", all the others are named with numbers.
The size of the number proves his strength and status in the Star Guard. Xingyi is the most powerful and highest-ranking person besides the Star Guardian Commander You.
He was one of the eight Venerable-level Star Guardians back then.
Now that Commander Xingyou is absent, Xingyi will naturally take command of the entire Xingyou Guard.
Xingyi's deep voice rang out instantly:
"Please give your orders, Star Lord."
Zhou Xingdou looked at Xingyi, thought for a moment, and then said to him:
“Send one Venerable-level officer and ten Star Guards to the Lin residence in Lingyin City, ostensibly to protect them, but also to conduct observation.”
Although Zhou Xingdou did not want to meet Yun Jinzhi for the time being, he still had to send people over to protect her or observe her.
The elusive Star Ghost is undoubtedly the best choice.
Of course, Zhou Xingdou didn't think that the Star Guards could really observe anything. After all, if Yun Jinzhi was really not simple, the Star Guards would probably have a hard time hiding it from her.
However, under the watchful eyes of the Star Guardians, she would be unable to take any action unless she eliminated the Star Guardians herself.
But once the Star Guardians are eliminated, Zhou Xingdou will basically not need to investigate any further; Yun Jinzhi will definitely have a problem.
Even if he was wrong, the Star Guards were only meant to protect Yun Jinzhi, so there was no point in wasting their resources.
"yes!"
Compared to Commander Xingyou, Xingyi was much colder and spoke less, but this concise and clear response was exactly what Zhou Xingdou liked.
Of course, Zhou Xingdou had more than one purpose. He then summoned Xiao Zuanfeng from outside the carriage and spoke to Xingyi again:
"I will also send one Venerable-level and ten Star Guardians with Little Drill Wind to find Luo Bailian of the Luo family, see if he is imprisoned, and try to make contact with him."
After all, Luo Bailian is not really familiar with Xingyou. Although Xingyou can find Luo Bailian, he may not be able to gain Luo Bailian's trust, and may even make things worse.
Moreover, Luo Bailian's situation is probably not optimistic. Even if he is not imprisoned, he will likely face great difficulties.
Perhaps he is among the forces threatening the Heavenly Palace of Punishment, otherwise how would he know that the Heavenly Palace is in danger?
With Xiao Zuanfeng following along, things became much easier. After all, as fellow battle slaves of Zhou Xingdou, they had an unspoken connection, and Luo Bailian would know that Zhou Xingdou had sent someone to contact him.
After arranging everything, Xingyi disappeared with Xiaozuanfeng. Zhou Xingdou could also feel that the 108 auras that were faintly protecting him had instantly decreased by 22 people.
Now that Yuan Tian has left, the task of driving the giant chariot has fallen to Fahai, but this is not a difficult task for Fahai now.
After all, he has now reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Venerable realm, so riding a chariot is not difficult. With Yuan Tian's previous demonstration, Fahai's chariot riding, though not very skillful, is still quite stable.
Moreover, the journey to the Punishment Thunder Palace is not far. It is not even necessary to let the Starry Sky Chariot escape into the void. Simply traveling through the air, it will only take a few seconds to travel from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect to the Punishment Thunder Palace.
Before Stephen Chow could even get his backside warm, the giant chariot had already landed smoothly.
More than a month has passed, and the environment around the Punishment Thunder Palace is also changing due to various spiritual plants and underground spiritual veins.
Now, this place, spanning hundreds of miles, is no longer the desolate and barren land it once was. Although its spiritual energy still cannot compare to that of a blessed land, it is certainly not bad.
Moreover, this is only the change outside the Punishment Thunder Palace. The Punishment Thunder Palace, which is shrouded by the great formation, is already showing signs of spiritual energy gathering into a wind, and is by no means inferior to the core area of a major power.
Zhou Xingdou stepped out of the giant star chariot, slowly raised his head to look at the meticulously crafted gate and the four characters he had engraved with lightning punishment on the plaque. He felt as if he had been transported to another world.
Although he was a bit cold back then, his skills were still immature compared to now. Although the plaque exuded heavenly might, Zhou Xingdou now sees it as something clumsily carved by a child.
But Stephen Chow doesn't intend to change it, because it's a mark of his past, and changing it would be bad.
Now, at the peak of sainthood, he can break free from the shackles of the supreme saint at any time. Having also consumed so many Bodhi seeds of enlightenment, his strength and foundation are no longer comparable to what they were before.
But he no longer had the same hard heart as before. He seemed to be melted by emotions, no longer so cold and ruthless.
Indeed, women only make men unable to hold a sword.
However, Zhou Xingdou didn't think there was anything wrong with this, or rather, it was quite good, since he no longer harbored such hatred and his mindset was difficult to return to what it used to be.
People always change. You might be completely different in one moment than you are in the next. All you can do is follow your heart.
With such a commotion outside the formation, how could Princess Iron Fan be completely unaware? Moreover, as a war slave, her sensitivity to her master, Zhou Xingdou, was extraordinary.
So before Zhou Xingdou could even step into the gate of the Punishment Thunder Palace, Princess Iron Fan's graceful figure rushed out and instantly threw herself into Zhou Xingdou's arms.
Stephen Chow smiled slightly, pulled Princess Iron Fan into his arms, and gently stroked her smooth, jade-like back.
But at this moment, he keenly noticed that Princess Iron Fan's cultivation had improved a lot. He could sense from her powerful aura that she had entered the Great Sage realm and was still steadily improving.
However, Zhou Xingdou was not too surprised, because Princess Iron Fan's cultivation was originally sealed and was unsealed as his own cultivation improved. Now that he had stepped into the Saintly Realm, Princess Iron Fan's seal had naturally loosened a bit.
If Zhou Xingdou's perception is correct, Princess Iron Fan will likely break through the Holy Venerable Heavenly Gate and enter the Supreme Realm in less than a month.
"Master, I have fallen ill with longing for you during your absence."
Princess Iron Fan, with a face as beautiful as a peach blossom and eyes as gentle as spring water, looked at Zhou Xingdou with captivating charm. Her shapely legs, with their perfect balance of plumpness and slenderness, were faintly visible beneath her robes, and her graceful body pressed tightly against Zhou Xingdou's chest, making him utterly enchanting.
If it weren't for the inopportune timing, Stephen Chow would have even wanted to execute him on the spot!
