Commander Xingyou's expression was respectful, and his deep, hoarse voice rang out:
"Yes, Fifth Master, it was the Star Lord who told me to convey this. Zhan Tian was not exaggerating at all. I will say whatever the Star Lord tells me to say."
"It seems my nephew has indeed changed quite a bit, actually willing to ask me, his uncle, for help."
Zhou Yongye smiled, cleared his throat twice, and looked down at the terrifying figures clad in armor below, saying:
"Do you think that fierce woman, Tian Jiu'er, needs protection?"
The terrifying figures on both sides, with their cold and murderous faces, twitched involuntarily, and some even burst into laughter.
They never deny their own strength, but to say they would protect the Sunset Sword Immortal Tian Jiu'er is truly a joke.
One of them stepped forward, suppressing a laugh, and said:
"The Sword Immortal of Sunset Glow is proficient in all sword techniques and once slew a banished immortal with his sword. He can hardly be called a protector, but he can offer some assistance in this Mi Luo Heaven."
Even on Zhou Yongye's sickly, handsome face, a smile played on his lips. He raised his hand to silence everyone before speaking calmly:
"It's the first time my nephew has asked me for a favor, so I can't possibly refuse. Besides, Tian Jiu'er is also my future nephew's wife, so as an elder, I naturally have to protect her."
At this point, Zhou Yongye's smile faded, and his eyes, filled with endless Dao principles, turned to the second female general standing on his left, and he spoke again:
"Kill the general, and I'll lead you to wipe out the imperial army and help the Falling Cloud Sword Immortal. She can investigate however she wants in the Mi Luo Heaven."
As Zhou Yongye spoke, the Dao principles surged in his eyes, and the black vertical line between his brows flickered as he smiled:
"Besides, I'm in a good mood today. The battle line against the demons has advanced thirty million miles, and I've killed two evil emperors to enjoy with my drinks..."
...
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou had returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect, but this time he did not return to Jiuxuan Peak, but came to Jiutian Peak.
The matter of Huo Lingtian involves many things, and with each link connected to the next, Zhou Xingdou was at a loss as to how to proceed.
Huo Lingtian is likely related to the Luo family, which in turn is related to the Chaos God Cult, and is very likely connected to traitors from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.
If one link is not handled carefully, it may affect the other two parties.
If we want to find the traitor of the Xuantian Dao Sect, we can probably only start with the Luo family, but the Luo family is a link in the chain and cannot be easily touched.
Then we can only start from the beginning and the end.
But how easy is it to find out the traitors of the Xuantian Dao Sect?
If there were any clues, why would Tian Jiu'er go to the outer realms? Even if Zhou Xingdou wanted to take action, he could only start with the Luo family, but he couldn't easily touch the Luo family. At least for now, Zhou Xingdou's forces didn't need to touch the Luo family.
Then he only had one choice: to start with Huo Lingtian.
For several days, the Thunder Punishment Palace remained extremely calm. Although Little Drill Wind brought back news of Luo Bailian, Luo Bailian, despite being the patriarch of the Luo family, actually held a low position and had no idea when the Luo family would cooperate with Huo Lingtian.
Therefore, if Zhou Xingdou wanted to find Huo Lingtian, he could only turn to Fang Tianyang, Huo Lingtian's good brother.
After all, it was Fang Tianyang who rescued Huo Lingtian back then. Zhou Xingdou didn't believe that the two had no connection at all.
However, it seems that Jiutian Peak is not very welcoming to him now. Zhou Xingdou did not see Fang Tianyang, but only the law enforcement elder of Jiutian Peak, Fang Daokun.
Having suffered the humiliation of Zhou Xingdou's return that day, Fang Daokun indeed found it difficult to have a good impression of Zhou Xingdou. The fact that he didn't stop Zhou Xingdou from leaving the peak was already a sign of respect.
Meanwhile, in the Nine Heavens Palace, the four elders who had been humiliated that day were also there. Although their gazes toward Zhou Xingdou were not exactly unfriendly, they were extremely cold.
But Fang Daokun was also a man of principle. Although he was extremely dissatisfied, he still spoke first and asked:
"Zhou Daozi, may I ask what brings you to my Nine Heavens Peak?"
Zhou Xingdou picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and said:
"Elder Fang, you are too kind. I have come here today to ask Brother Tianyang some questions."
"Zhou Daozi, it's unfortunate that you're here today. Tianyang is currently in seclusion and breaking through. Please return, Zhou Daozi."
Fang Daokun spoke coldly, his words implying that Zhou Xingdou could leave. He then stood up, raised his hand towards the palace door, and gestured for Zhou Xingdou to depart.
Stephen Chow's previously relaxed expression turned somber at this moment. He remained seated without moving, but quietly put down his teacup and spat the tea from his mouth onto the ground.
"I thought that Jiutian Peak was a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, so the tea should be good, but I didn't expect it to be so bad."
Zhou Xingdou's actions, combined with his words, immediately angered the other elders, as spitting out tea was disrespectful to Jiutian Peak.
Moreover, even a fool could tell from Zhou Xingdou's words that he was subtly referring to them, even though he knew about the tea.
One of the elders, with a goatee, immediately slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Zhou Xingdou angrily, saying:
"Stephen Chow! Don't go too far!"
But Zhou Xingdou ignored the person, not even glancing at him, and instead wiped the tea residue from the corner of his mouth with an air of indifference.
Then Zhou Xingdou smiled slightly, but his silvery-white eyes, filled with purple aura, looked at Fang Daokun with a deep gaze, and a voice that was neither a smile nor a laugh rang out:
"Are you going to call him out yourself, or do you want me to help you?"
How could he be dismissed by Fang Daokun's words? If he really left like that, others would think he was afraid of Jiutian Peak.
Regardless of whether Fang Tianyang's seclusion is real or not, Zhou Xingdou must see Fang Tianyang today; he needs to know what he wants to know.
"Zhou Xingdou, do you think my Nine Heavens Peak is a turtle's nest?"
Fang Daokun's face instantly darkened, and his robes fluttered without wind, a powerful aura rising from his body.
The other four elders also stood up one after another. The wind howled like knives in the Nine Heavens Palace. The pressure of one half-step supreme and four peak great saints was now directed at only one person, Zhou Xingdou, who was at the peak of sainthood.
But Zhou Xingdou remained unmoved, sitting steadily in his chair, defying the winds from all directions without faltering in the slightest.
"Turtle Nest, that's a good name, but I have no intention of using it. After all, the Peak Master of Nine Heavens Peak is a remarkable person, but you..."
Zhou Xingdou's words stopped at this moment. An extremely heavy, domineering sword intent containing the might of heaven and almost annihilating everything suddenly rose from Zhou Xingdou's body and soared straight into the sky!
At that moment, it seemed as if there were roars and thunder in the void.
roar!
boom!
Above the high beams of the Nine Heavens Palace, a Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon suddenly appeared, striking Zhou Xingdou's head in the blink of an eye. In an instant, lightning flashed, amplifying the domineering sword intent and breaking through the oppressive aura within the palace.
The elder with the goatee exclaimed in surprise:
"How is that possible!"
How could the overwhelming pressure of four peak Great Saints and one half-step Supreme be broken by a junior like Zhou Xingdou?
Moreover, they were not ragtag cultivators, but elders of the supreme and immortal Xuantian Dao Sect, whose aura was far from the weak and superficial aura of rogue cultivators!
