"Some things may not weigh four ounces on a scale, but once weighed, they can weigh a thousand pounds."
He has risen from a disciple to a Daoist master and is now the Daoist leader. Even if the ancestors knew about this, they would not bother to inquire about it.
"But the one who can conduct the Dao Lord's Inquiry is the selfless and impartial Xuan Tian Ancestral Spirit. Do you think the Xuan Tian Ancestral Spirit would easily let go of Xuan Jizi, who broke into the Xuan Tian Dharma Realm and stole the Nine-Nine Xuan Tian Creation Scripture from it?"
Having said that, Ling Sanqiu looked at Zhou Xingdou with a hint of mockery in his eyes and continued:
"I must thank you, my junior nephew. If you were you, how could I have infiltrated Nine Profound Peak and launched the Dao Lord's Heart Inquiry against Xuanjizi, thus rendering the Xuantian Dao Sect's only two immortal combat forces ineffective?"
Upon hearing this, even Stephen Chow's face darkened slightly, but he didn't back down at all:
"Yes, I never expected my master to be so ruthless, even plotting against his own disciple so that his soul would be scattered and he would never be reincarnated."
However, no one knows whether it was because these words touched a chord deep within Ling Sanqiu's heart that his previously composed face suddenly revealed a hint of coldness.
In an instant, this place seemed to have turned into a freezing ice cellar, and even the surrounding space seemed to be frozen into ice.
But in an instant, Ling Sanqiu's expression turned calm, and he said in an extremely indifferent tone:
“Tianyang did not die because of my schemes, but because he was unlucky. The curse on him was not placed by me.”
Seeing Ling Sanqiu's hypocrisy, Zhou Xingdou revealed a mocking expression and said:
“But he could have stayed alive, couldn’t he? Even if you used Fang Daokun to spread this false information, I would most likely have fallen for it.”
Ling Sanqiu's expression trembled slightly, but he still vehemently denied it:
"Whether you believe it or not, I have never plotted against my disciple. I, Ling Sanqiu, am not so heartless as to be that depraved!"
Stephen Chow's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately pressed on:
"Why did Fang Tianyang die?!"
"And why did you join the Chaos God Cult and overthrow the Xuan Tian Dao Sect?!"
But Zhou Xingdou's words did not stir Ling Sanqiu's emotions. Instead, she focused her gaze on Zhou Xingdou, her eyes unusually calm, even to the point of being indifferent.
Do you think you can sway my mind?
As he spoke, Ling Sanqiu revealed a mocking, icy smile:
"I'm saying this only because I want to, not because you want to sway my mind. You must remember, a cultivator of my level cannot be tricked into revealing information."
Zhou Xingdou was neither discouraged nor frightened by the spread of Ling Sanqiu's erratic emotions; he simply nodded slightly and said:
"Been taught a lesson."
But at this point, Ling Sanqiu changed the subject:
"But I still have to tell you."
"It's related to the person on your old acquaintance Huo Lingtian. That person is one of the twelve Heavenly Lords of the Divine Sect."
He once led seven divine lords and twenty-four hidden lords in an attempt to invade the Primordial Chaos, but they were all killed by the Qin Emperor in the tunnel. A wisp of his remnant soul was carried away by the chaotic void currents and, by a twist of fate, arrived in the Primordial Chaos.
Zhou Xingdou was slightly taken aback. He now really thought that his senior uncle was a lunatic. Just a moment ago, he had been mocking him, saying that he couldn't get anything out of him, but now he had revealed everything, even explaining clearly who the person on Huo Lingtian's body was.
After speaking, Ling Sanqiu's gaze pierced through the void like a knife as he looked outwards:
"Fang Tianyang was killed by its scheme, and I will personally take action to eliminate him after this matter is settled."
At the same time, Huo Lingtian, ten miles away from the Xuantian Dao Sect, suddenly felt a chill run through his body, but at this moment, he muttered to himself with an extremely ugly expression:
"So Fang Tianyang was deliberately murdered by you? Why did you lie to me!"
Huo Lingtian's face showed resentment, grief, and confusion; he still couldn't let go of Fang Tianyang's death.
At this moment, a ghostly sound resonated within Huo Lingtian's body:
"There are plenty of beautiful women out there, and countless beauties await you beyond the borders. Why are you so fixated on one man? Do you think I don't know that the reason you've been dragging your feet on going beyond the borders is because of Fang Tianyang?"
Huo Lingtian said with extreme resentment:
"Then you don't need to scheme against him to the death. His existence clearly doesn't affect you. I've already said that once I rescue my mother, I'll immediately head to the outer realms!"
He originally thought it was all a coincidence, so he felt at ease about Fang Tianyang's death.
But now that he knows whether Fang Tianyang was intentionally murdered or murdered by his own benefactor, he cannot accept it.
Huo Lingtian became more and more agitated as he spoke, gritting his teeth as he said:
"Why did you do this! You could have just told me he didn't have to die!"
At that moment, the ghostly voice suddenly let out a cold snort:
"Hmph! Huo Lingtian, don't get confused about what's important. If it weren't for me, how could you have achieved what you have today? If it weren't for my help, you would be nothing but a cripple now!"
This cold snort, like a morning bell and evening drum, reverberated in Huo Lingtian's mind, shaking his soul and causing his resentful expression to turn into one of pain.
"If you honestly go beyond the realm and bring the primordial energy within you back to the Divine Cult to help me be reborn, you will have a bright future under the protection of this Heavenly Lord."
That ghostly voice also turned icy cold at that moment:
"If you remain obstinate, don't blame this God for being ruthless!"
…………
Zhou Xingdou fell silent as he watched the deranged Ling Sanqiu. Sure enough, Fang Tianyang's death was still inseparable from Huo Lingtian. Of course, he still had doubts about Ling Sanqiu's words.
A person who would betray even the sect that raised him and scheme against even his own senior brother is not someone Zhou Xingdou can fully trust.
Ling Sanqiu is now practically a half-madman, but that's to be expected, since his betrayal of the Xuantian Dao Sect and joining the Chaos God Sect proves that he's gone insane.
But what's frightening is that Zhou Xingdou really has no way to control this madman now. With the Xuan Tian Grand Array fully activated, no news can get out. Even if he wanted to summon Zhou family servants, he wouldn't be able to send out any messages.
Although Ling Sanqiu is still being polite to me, it doesn't mean he won't hurt me. He probably just wants to satisfy my desire to confide in someone, or find someone to show off my achievements.
For the Xuan Tian Dao Sect today, the best choice is undoubtedly to appoint a Dao Child, fall into the trap of initiating the Dao Lord's Heart Inquiry on Xuan Ji Zi, and help Ling San Qiu hold off Zhou Xing Dou, who is currently one of the only two immortal warriors in the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.
Among them are the Half-Thousand Strange Saints, the Hundred and Twenty Supremes, and even the Dark Lord Luo, who wields a Quasi-Emperor weapon and single-handedly fought and suppressed the Crimson Heaven Sword Slave and Bai Jinglong, as well as this Heaven-Opening Blade Ling Sanqiu.
Compared to the Xuantian Dao Sect, which was left with only the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, it was indeed a situation where victory was assured, and it's no wonder that Ling Sanqiu dared to delay in this way.
This situation is enough to make one despair.
Even Zhou Xingdou couldn't find a way to break the deadlock from the inside, otherwise why would he be stalling for time with Ling Sanqiu again?
Every extra minute of time brings an extra chance of change, and that's the only thing Zhou Xingdou can do.
