Yuan Tian, who was at the Supreme Saint realm, was able to detect what happened after they left in an instant, and naturally knew that Zhou Xingdou was unharmed.
But in his eyes, Zhou Xingdou suffered a great loss today, and he failed to protect Zhou Xingdou, so he felt extremely guilty and naturally wanted to make a contribution.
Although Fahai also regretted his lack of power, he still frowned and said:
"This matter needs to be told to the young master, and the young master will make the decision."
Yuan Tian snorted coldly:
“Go ahead and say what you want to say. If I don’t atone for my crime by performing good deeds, I will have no face to stay by the young master’s side any longer.”
"Moreover, this concerns the prestige of the Zhou family!"
For Yuan Tian, he is now half a protector of Zhou Xingdou.
Although Zhou Xingdou was ultimately unharmed, it was the Xuan Tian Dao Sect that made the move, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Tian.
As a subordinate force of the Zhou family, and someone secretly protected by the Zhou family, he was in direct contact with Zhou Xingdou.
This incident is not just his personal fault, but a dereliction of duty by the entire Shenwu Sect.
If he fails to report this in time and redeem himself through meritorious service, and if the Shenwu Sect is removed from its affiliated forces by the Zhou family because of this incident, he will be a sinner for all time in the Shenwu Sect.
"I will return to the Divine Martial Sect now and ask the Ancestor to come out of seclusion and invade the Great Yan Dynasty!"
Yuan Tian gritted his teeth; no one expected that such a trivial matter would make him so angry.
Little did he know that what angered him even more was that when he revealed that Zhou Xingdou was the young master of the Zhou family, Yan Huang showed no fear or apprehension whatsoever.
This made him feel extremely insulted, and it further proved the uselessness of their subordinate forces.
The Zhou family is different from other families. The number of clansmen is extremely small, and almost the entire clan is stationed outside the territory. Even the patriarch may be suppressing the ancestral land and cannot get away.
They rarely operate within the Primordial Realm, so it is mostly their subordinate forces that handle affairs and control the Primordial Realm.
Moreover, these affiliated forces were basically established by Zhou family followers who had retreated from the region. The Zhou family was their faith, and they all voluntarily submitted to them.
The Zhou family never allowed them to pay tribute; in fact, they provided them with large sums of resources every year, and even rewarded them for doing favors.
Sometimes it even gives the impression that the Zhou family is subordinate to these affiliated forces.
This also makes the Zhou family's affiliated forces the most powerful and loyal among all the supreme forces.
Otherwise, Yuan Tian, merely the Grand Elder of the Divine Martial Sect and a Saint Realm expert, would not allow Zhou Xingdou to order him around.
Even when he was lured and killed by Zhou Xingdou in his previous life, he didn't fight back at all?
Loyalty to the Zhou family is something ingrained in the genes of every Zhou family affiliate.
In their eyes, the Zhou family's prestige surpasses everything, and the Zhou family members are the masters!
Fahai remained silent for a long time, his eyes flickering with emotion, before finally letting out a sigh:
“I will go with you.”
Yuan Tian frowned, shook his head, and refused:
"No, young master needs someone to protect him. Without you by my side, I'm not at ease with just that vixen!"
As he spoke, Yuan Tian looked at the Liu family with a hint of worry. He was unaware of the power of Zhou Xingdou's Myriad Transformations Slave Seal, so he did not trust You Ji.
Fahai also felt that Yuan Tian's words made sense, but still reminded him:
“But if the young master comes out of seclusion, I will still tell him about this.”
Both of them were at the Saint Realm. Although they dared not pry into Zhou Xingdou's privacy, the fact that an extremely yang aura and two yin energies were clashing above the Liu family at this moment made their intentions self-evident.
"Leaving the pass" is just a euphemism.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tian couldn't help but smile slightly:
"I believe the young master will not emerge from seclusion for at least three days and three nights. In three days, my Divine Martial Sect will already be at the gates of Great Yan!"
After saying goodbye to Fahai, Yuan Tian teleported away and disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, Fahai said no more. In an instant, he stepped into the Liu family's residence, stood guard beside the pavilion where Zhou Xingdou was, sat cross-legged in mid-air, and began chanting Buddhist scriptures to heal his injuries as he turned the Wuwang Buddhist beads in his hand.
Not long after, in the Tai Shi Dao Domain, an endless distance from the Tai Chu Dao Domain, the Zhou family's ancestral land.
A middle-aged man with an unfathomable aura strode quickly to an ancient purple pagoda that was infinitely solemn, infinitely sacred, impossible to look directly at, and immeasurable.
The middle-aged man, kneeling on one knee with utmost respect and eyes brimming with reverence, addressed the ancient purple pagoda:
"Patriarch, a letter has arrived from the Divine Martial Sect; it concerns the young master!"
At this moment, the ancient Zhuangzi Purple Pagoda trembled slightly, as if it were awakening from a deep sleep. The power of the stars in the heavens surged on the pagoda, and a series of dazzling star rivers surrounded the purple pagoda.
A boundless, serene, magnificent, and supremely powerful sound resounded:
"Enter."
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man had already entered the top of the Purple Pagoda.
But this place doesn't feel like being inside a tower. Instead, it's like a boundless universe, with endless, dazzling stars twinkling and the Milky Way casting a soft glow.
The middle-aged man dared not raise his head, but prostrated himself in the center of this universe.
At this moment, a majestic figure, as grand as the Great Dao, appeared atop this tower that resembled the universe. The moment it appeared, it exuded an overwhelming aura that dominated the endless universe, a power that made it the only one worthy of respect.
No one could look him in the eye at that moment; he seemed to be the master of this universe, and the endless stars, energy, and laws within the universe stirred with excitement at the appearance of this majestic figure.
The imposing figure then appeared. It was an old man with black hair and black eyes, wearing a black robe. Countless Daos flowed around him, and the Great Dao resonated around him.
Just by standing there, even the void trembled.
His face bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Stephen Chow, but he was more indifferent, dignified, and cold.
At this moment, the old man's eyes flashed, and his incomparable and unfathomable aura, like a boundless abyss, emanated, shaking the universe.
The middle-aged man, who was prostrate on the ground and whose aura even made the supreme beings tremble with fear, felt like a speck of dust in the desert in front of this majestic being.
Dull and unremarkable.
The old man's dark eyes, like unfathomable depths, gazed at the prostrate middle-aged man. A glint of divine light flashed in his eyes, and a majestic, indifferent, and powerful voice resounded:
"Qin Ming, what happened at Xingdou?"
Qin Ming remained prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and respectfully said:
"Reporting to the patriarch, the Divine Martial Sect reports that the young master has a conflict with the Great Yan. The Great Yan Emperor insulted the young master, and the Divine Martial Sect intends to activate the Zhou family's Heavenly Decree, gather the Zhou family's affiliated forces, and attack the Great Yan!"
The Zhou Family Heavenly Decree is a warning device for the Zhou Family's affiliated forces. Once activated, other affiliated forces must rush to its aid without fail.
Upon hearing this, the imposing old man's powerful voice carried a hint of doubt:
"Great Yan? Is it a newly established imperial dynasty? Or a supreme sect?"
Qin Ming's brow twitched, and he replied somewhat awkwardly:
"It is neither an imperial dynasty nor a supreme sect, but a powerful force in the Primordial Dao Domain, called the Great Yan Dynasty."
Qin Ming's words left this towering figure silent for a long while. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and suddenly a deep sigh echoed, shaking the entire universe.
"Has the Zhou family fallen so low?"
The sigh startled Qin Ming, sending a cold sweat down his spine. He quickly said:
"Master, please calm your anger. This humble servant will go and slaughter the Great Yan Dynasty to avenge the young master!"
