Zhou Xingdou turned his head and saw Yuan Tian's figure emerge from the void, seemingly having waited for a long time, and respectfully bow to Zhou Xingdou:
"Yuan Tian greets the young master."
"You came quickly."
Zhou Xingdou was not surprised, after all, those in the Saint Realm could use teleportation techniques, and their speed was beyond his reach.
Yuan Tian, his face beaming with joy, rubbed his hands together and looked at Zhou Xingdou with a hint of flattery:
"Young Master ordered me to come quickly, how could I dare to delay?"
Zhou Xingdou was somewhat surprised to see the fawning look on Yuan Tian's face. Although the old man was quite respectful to him, he hadn't been so obsequious before.
But at that moment, Fahai stepped out from the void behind Zhou Xingdou, looked at Yuan Tian's joyful face, his handsome brows furrowed unusually, and said in a deep voice:
"You broke through?"
Reminded by Fahai, Zhou Xingdou then realized that Yuan Tian's aura seemed to have indeed become much stronger, but he had been holding back his power in front of him, which was why Zhou Xingdou had not noticed it at first.
Yuan Tian raised an eyebrow at the suddenly appearing Fahai. For some reason, he couldn't stand the monk.
However, since he was Zhou Xingdou's man, although he was unhappy, he couldn't say it outright. Instead, he looked at Zhou Xingdou with even greater respect and smiled:
"This is all thanks to the young master. When Grandpa Zhou heard that you were going home, he rewarded the Divine Martial Sect with many treasures. I was also fortunate enough to break through to the Supreme Saint Realm."
Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although he was not returning to the Zhou family because of Yuan Tian, Yuan Tian would certainly elaborate on the matter and inform the Zhou family.
Given his grandfather's wealthy and generous nature, the reward would likely be substantial. Yuan Tian had been hovering at the peak of the Saint realm for a long time, so his breakthrough now was only to be expected.
No wonder Yuan Tian was so obsequious to Zhou Xingdou today. After all, he had gained a lot of benefits from the Zhou family, so how could he not be respectful at this moment?
A hint of disappointment appeared in Fahai's eyes at this moment. To be honest, he really wanted to have a fight with Yuan Tianzhan.
If Yuan Tian were still at the Saint realm, he would have had a chance to fight him. But now that Yuan Tian has broken through to the Supreme Saint realm, he has no chance of winning.
However, Zhou Xingdou was in a good mood at the moment. With Yuan Tian breaking through to the Saint Realm, the success rate of capturing You Ji would naturally be higher.
He then said to Yuan Tian:
"I've summoned you here today to ask you to help me capture a saint alive."
Upon hearing that it was merely a matter of capturing a saint alive, Yuan Tian burst into laughter and said:
"Young Master, there's no need to use the word 'help.' I'll do whatever you say."
A smile appeared in Stephen Chow's eyes, and he drew out his voice:
"Oh? You're not going to ask who it was that ordered you to capture them alive?"
Yuan Tianfang's face showed sincerity, but his words were full of flattery:
"The direction your finger points is my battlefield. As long as you give the order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Even if the young master ordered me to capture my wife alive, I wouldn't even blink an eye.
Zhou Xingdou's smile remained undiminished. He believed that the person who created Yuan Tian must be a genius, and then teased:
"Then we'll have to rely on Elder Yuan to capture You Ji alive."
"You Ji?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tian's eyelids twitched, and after a moment of stunned silence, he asked Zhou Xingdou in a low voice, his voice somewhat shrunken:
"Is this the Yu Ji I know?"
Zhou Xingdou nodded, and Yuan Tian's breath hitched. His earlier bravado vanished, and he cautiously asked:
"Young Master, isn't she an elder of your Nine Profound Peak? Why are you arresting her?"
It's no wonder Yuan Tian looked like this; he was an elder of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, not some rootless mayfly.
This is no small matter. Xuantian Dao Sect is a truly supreme power. If his capture of You Ji is exposed, even if Shenwu Sect and Xuantian Dao Sect have a good relationship, they will not be able to protect him as the Grand Elder.
Moreover, the Xuantian Dao Sect is so close to the Shenwu Sect. If the matter is exposed one second, his head will be hanging at the entrance of the Xuantian Dao Sect the next.
Before Zhou Xingdou could speak, Fahai let out a mocking laugh:
"Coward! You were just saying you'd go through fire and water for your master, but now you're scared. How dare such a piece of trash call himself your master's subordinate?"
It must be said that Fahai's sarcastic remarks were very effective, and Yuan Tian immediately flew into a rage:
"Afraid? Bullshit! I, Yuan, am thinking of the young master. Unlike you, a stupid monk, your strength is probably not even enough to beat You Ji."
When had Fahai ever been insulted so directly? If Zhou Xingdou hadn't been there, he probably would have already charged at him with his Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.
He was suddenly overcome with anger and burst into a tirade:
"What kind of dog are you? If you were a demon, let alone if you had broken through to the Supreme Saint realm, even if you were a Great Saint, I would still subdue you!"
Yuan Tian was so angry he laughed. Gone was the saintly composure; he stretched his head right in front of Fahai, pointed at his head, and shouted:
"Come on! Come on! You useless monk, come and subdue me! If you can harm me even a hair, I'll acknowledge you as my father."
Zhou Xingdou looked at the two men, who resembled street thugs, and did not stop them. With him there, the two would not really fight. He could also see that Yuan Tian and Fahai were indeed at odds, so he let them make a scene.
Moreover, Stephen Chow also wanted to see just how powerful this figure from a previous life myth really was.
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
Yuan Tian's head was practically right in front of him, but Fahai wasn't easily intimidated. His temper was short-tempered, and his eyes immediately turned bloodshot.
In an instant, a towering Zen staff appeared in his hand.
That towering staff was meticulously crafted from ten-thousand-year-old black iron and was originally the sacred artifact of Jinshan Temple.
Having been influenced by Buddhism and worshipped by incense for many years, the Sky-Supporting Staff became a sacred artifact in this world. The moment it appeared, it shone with boundless Buddhist light and the Dharma flower filled the sky, its power as vast as the sea pressing down on all directions.
Upon seeing the power of the towering staff, Yuan Tian's expression changed drastically, but before he could react, Fahai had already raised the staff.
Normally he would probably use the Great Heavenly Dragon, but how can you not use a heavy weapon to smash someone's head?
In an instant, countless powers condensed on Fahai's body, and the surrounding space twisted and deformed, with Buddhist scripture wrapping around Fahai's body.
At this moment, the Zen staff was like a giant hammer, carrying immeasurable power, smashing down on Yuan Tian's head with the force to shatter heaven and earth.
But at that very moment, a captivating and alluring laugh rang out from afar:
"What a coincidence, what are Zhou Daozi and Elder Yuan doing here?"
Fahai's staff stopped abruptly, and Yuan Tian reacted at that moment, quickly raising his head. Two drops of cold sweat instantly dripped from his forehead.
It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but for a moment the surrounding space seemed to be locked, and countless chanting sounds enveloped him, causing him to lose his focus for a moment.
But none of that matters now. What matters most is the arrival of an uninvited guest, and this is no longer the time for them to fool around.
Yuan Tian looked at Zhou Xingdou, who was also slightly startled and looked toward the source of the sound.
Then, You Ji appeared from the void, her sleeves fluttering. Her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, her body as graceful as spring water rippling on the water.
