Battle slaves have a special connection with their masters, especially battle slaves like Iron Fan and Qing Yanjing who have fused with Zhou Xingdou; the connection is even stronger for them.
Zhou Xingdou nodded, then said:
"I just went to the Xuantian Dao Sect and found that my master, Hanyi, Ning Yueze, and Youji were no longer in the sect, and Xuanjizi was even more..."
Zhou Xingdou recounted what had happened to him at the Xuantian Dao Sect, which immediately enraged the three of them.
A cold glint flashed in Iron Fan's eyes, and her face darkened with anger:
"How dare Xuanji Zi'an bully his master!"
Fahai also revealed his fierce anger:
"Charge into the Xuan Tian Dao Sect and make them pay a bloody price!"
Zhou Xingdou shook his head slightly and pulled the angry Princess Iron Fan back:
"There's no need for that. Although Xuanjizi is eccentric, he ultimately did not make things difficult for me."
After all, it was once his own sect. He had already killed the current Daoist Master Gan Daokun, and the two peak masters died at Xuanjizi's hands. He did not want to fight with Xuantian Dao Sect again.
Yuan Tian also spoke up at the opportune moment:
“Young Master is wise. Although the disciples of Xuantian Dao Sect are thriving, the middle level is weak. The only high-level combat power we have is those few hall masters. And the two peak masters are dead. We cannot push them too hard. If we push them too hard and Xuanjizi activates his hidden power, it will not benefit our Xingtian Alliance.”
Zhou Xingdou listened to Yuan Tian's words with some doubt and asked:
"Star Alliance?"
Upon hearing Zhou Xingdou's question, Yuan Tian slapped his forehead, realizing that Zhou Xingdou was unaware of this matter, and quickly explained:
"The Star Alliance is a force formed by the Zhou family and the Punishment Thunder Palace after the young master's accident. It is named after the 'Star' in the young master's name and the 'Heaven' in the name of the Falling Clouds Sword Immortal."
Zhou Xingdou frowned slightly. It seemed that a lot had indeed happened in the early days of the past twenty years.
"Tell me first, what happened after my accident?"
Yuan Tian knew that Zhou Xingdou wouldn't understand if he started talking about the Star Alliance directly, so he slowly began to tell Zhou Xingdou about what happened twenty years ago:
"When the young master was in trouble, the Sword Immortal Luoxia was furious. She believed that Xuanjizi had plotted against the young master, so she fought with Xuanjizi and eventually cut off one of his arms. Then she took Madam Luo and us and left the Xuantian Dao Sect."
Afterwards, Lord Tianyin and Master Wei received news of the young master's accident and rushed to the Xuantian Dao Sect. Then, Lord Tianyin and Master Wei joined forces to use their great search powers and discovered that the Dao Master's Heart Inquiry targeting Xuanjizi was not fully activated at all. He could break free from the Dao Master's Heart Inquiry at any time. At that time, he was in the Xuantian Ancestral Realm watching the young master in danger and even held back the Xuantian Ancestral Spirit to prevent it from taking action.
"By then, Hades had already left, but our Divine Martial Sect's Emperor Ancestor, the Undying Martial God, had not. Upon learning of this, the Emperor Ancestor was furious and, together with Lord Tianyin, attacked, nearly killing Xuanjizi. In the end, it was only through the power of the Xuantian Ancestral Spirit using the Xuantian Dharma Realm that Lord Tianyin and the Emperor Ancestor were repelled."
As he said this, Zhou Xingdou's expression turned somewhat cold:
"So from beginning to end, it was Xuanjizi who saw through Daozhu Wenxin's scheme. He was just hiding in the Xuantian Dharma Realm, wanting to use Ling Sanqiu to eliminate me or weaken me?"
Although Yuan Tian's words were not clear, Zhou Xingdou was able to immediately deduce the general idea from these few words.
Yuan Tian shook his head and said:
"I don't know the specific details either. Lord Tianyin and Master Wei should know, but Lord Tianyin only trusts the Emperor Ancestor and the Sword Immortal Luoxia. He didn't tell me the details, only the general outline he just mentioned."
Zhou Xingdou frowned and continued to ask:
"And then what?"
Yuan Tian continued:
"After that, we stayed in the Punishment Thunder Palace. The Punishment Thunder Palace was originally located in the secluded valley chosen by the young master, but it was ultimately the Tianxuan Sacred State of the Xuantian Dao Sect."
Since the Falling Cloud Sword Immortal left the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Xuantian Dao Sect has been somewhat hostile towards the Punishment Thunder Palace. People from the Xuantian Dao Sect often lead troops to invade us, and sometimes even returning ancestors come.
Although the Sword Immortal Luoxia was present, he was, after all, a former peak master of the Xuantian Dao Sect and had received many favors from the sect's ancestors, so he couldn't kill him. Moreover, the Sword Immortal Luoxia spent most of his time traveling to the outer realms to search for the reason for the young master's disappearance and the person who attacked him that day.
Ultimately, we couldn't bear it any longer, so Master Wei suggested that we relocate to the former territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, where we could live with the current Zhou family and have mutual support.
Zhou Xingdou remained silent for a long time. The reason why his Punishment Thunder Palace could stand unchecked in Tianxuan Sacred State was because of his identity in Xuantian Dao Sect.
If Xuanjizi had deliberately plotted against him, he would certainly not allow his forces to remain in Tianxuan Holy State. Moreover, Tian Jiu'er had also left Xuantian Dao Sect, which would probably have displeased the ancestors of Xuantian Dao Sect.
Fortunately, the other party did not go too far, only harassing and invading, and did not intend to wipe out their forces. However, they were probably also wary of Tian Jiu'er and the remaining strength of the Zhou family.
"What's the Star Alliance all about?"
Zhou Xingdou continued to ask.
Yuan Tian sighed:
"Alas, young master, you don't know, after your accident, all of us Zhou family's subordinates went crazy. In order to find that Yun Jinzhi and the evil spirit, we were almost willing to kill the wrong person rather than let the guilty go free."
In addition, we were too domineering in the past, and because the Zhou family has not returned and we have lost our backing, various forces are extremely dissatisfied with us and intend to destroy us.
Originally, as long as we, the subordinate forces, stick together for warmth, even if we are no match for those forces that intend to destroy us and the immortals behind them, we can still survive.
But the Zhou family is gone, and you, young master, have also encountered trouble. We have lost our backbone, and our repeated alliances have been filled with endless arguments. No one is willing to submit to anyone else, and no one can suppress these forces. Even when Lord Tianyin and others step in, it is no use.
Guyang City suffered a severe blow due to the delay in the alliance meeting, and was nearly destroyed.
Zhou Xingdou shook his head slightly, not expecting that his accident would cause such a big reaction.
With his death, these affiliated forces, who couldn't wait for the Zhou family and were all top-tier sects, naturally refused to submit to each other and found it difficult to unite.
"If that's the case, how did they eventually manage to form the Star Alliance?"
Yuan Tian lowered his head with a somewhat strange expression:
"Later, Master Wei came up with an idea: to have Sword Immortal Luoxia, in the name of the young master's wife and the current matriarch of the Zhou family, summon an alliance of eight affiliated forces to protect her, and then fabricate a lie that Madam Luo was pregnant with the young master's bloodline..."
Stephen Chow's expression turned somewhat strange for a moment, and he raised his eyebrows.
With the name of his wife, the matriarch of the Zhou family, and the added prestige of the Falling Clouds Sword Immortal, Tian Jiu'er was indeed able to suppress these subordinate forces.
The retelling that Luo Hanyi bore his bloodline gave these subordinate forces a backbone.
It must be said that Master Wei was a talented man, truly a great Confucian scholar.
However, this also confirmed Tian Jiu'er's status as his wife, which made Zhou Xingdou think to himself:
"Hey, Master, you can't escape this lifetime."
