Devouring Soul Emperor
Chapter 595 - 595: No Saint Extreme Points
"Everyone, I know you're all after my Saint Extreme Points."
"However, I can tell you all plainly that I don't have any Saint Extreme Points on me right now. Even if you manage to take my sect Token, it will be completely useless!"
As Chu Qingyun spoke, he revealed his sect Token.
After he infused it with Primordial Power, a clear number appeared in the center of the Token: "1256".
Seeing that number, the surrounding ninth-level Martial Spirits were stunned once again.
'How can there only be 1,256? What happened to the promised ninety-thousand-plus Saint Extreme Points!?'
However, they quickly understood. Chu Qingyun must have predicted long ago that having so many Saint Extreme Points would become a burden during the Inner Sect Qualification Competition, so he had transferred them ahead of time.
If word of this got out, some people would surely think of Mu Xiaoxiao and Dai first.
But they had already discussed it with Chu Qingyun. If anyone came looking for trouble, they would just hand over their sect Tokens. They only had about ninety Saint Extreme Points in them anyway.
No one would risk breaking the sect's rules for a mere ninety-odd Saint Extreme Points.
As for Zhou Ling, even if someone guessed, so what?
If she could securely hold on to her own several thousand Saint Extreme Points, she could certainly hold on to Chu Qingyun's ninety-thousand-plus. After all, given her status, no one in the Saint Extreme Sect would dare to mess with her.
After seeing that there were hardly any Saint Extreme Points on Chu Qingyun's sect Token, the people around him couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.
Meanwhile, a faint smile quietly appeared on Chu Qingyun's face.
With his current strength, dealing with the so-called Outer Sect Seed Disciples was no longer difficult.
However, he didn't want to become the target of everyone's greed during the Inner Sect Qualification Competition because of those ninety-thousand-plus Saint Extreme Points.
"First, he severely injures that Luo Jingwu in a single move, and then he reveals a sect Token with very few Saint Extreme Points. This Chu Qingyun is quite clever."
An Outer Elder said with a smile.
He no longer hid his strength, cleanly and decisively injuring Luo Jingwu to display his power.
After displaying his formidable strength, he then revealed his sect Token to diminish the greed in their hearts.
This two-pronged approach was the only way to make them give up their plans to move against Chu Qingyun.
Otherwise, without either step, the effect would have been greatly diminished.
If he had only injured Luo Jingwu without revealing his Token, one could imagine that many people would still have taken desperate risks for over ninety thousand Saint Extreme Points.
Conversely, if he hadn't injured Luo Jingwu, he would still have attracted some attention. After all, over a thousand Saint Extreme Points was still a small fortune.
So in a way, Luo Jingwu's provocation actually ended up doing Chu Qingyun a favor.
"Who among those who survived the Blood-soaked Land and stood out from this year's brutal sect recruitment is a fool?" Elder Zhu Zhijing said with a small laugh.
"Let's not waste any more time. Let's go!"
After speaking, he leaped lightly onto the back of a Tier Four Demon Beast that was prostrated on the ground.
Behind him, two other Outer Elders and some Inner Sect Disciples also jumped aboard, ready to depart.
The remaining Outer Disciples, under the direction of several Inner Sect Disciples, also boarded the Flying Demon Beasts.
This time, the beasts they were riding were all Tier Four Flying Demon Beasts.
Therefore, two Inner Sect Disciples were assigned to control each Flying Demon Beast.
With only a little over a hundred people, everyone quickly mounted the Flying Demon Beasts. Then, led by the one carrying the Elders, all the Flying Demon Beasts flapped their wings and took to the sky, flying towards the Celestial Sword Sect.
As for Luo Jingwu, who had been punched by Chu Qingyun until he bled from all seven orifices, he was naturally unable to continue in the Inner Sect Qualification Competition. He was helped back to the Outer Sect.
Chu Qingyun and the others were not heading to the Celestial Sword Sect's main grounds, but to a Land of Trial within its sphere of influence called the Withered Wood Forest.
That Land of Trial was similar to the Molten Rock District Chu Qingyun had visited before, also serving as a trial ground for the Celestial Sword Sect's Outer Sect.
Therefore, there shouldn't be any existences at the Martial King Realm there, but it would still pose some danger to ninth-level Martial Spirits.
After the Flying Demon Beasts left the mountain range of the Saint Extreme Sect, Elder Zhu Zhijing suddenly whispered something to an Outer Elder beside him. The Outer Elder then stood up.
"Everyone, listen up!"
The Outer Elder's loud voice attracted the attention of everyone, including those on the backs of the surrounding Flying Demon Beasts.
"This journey takes us to the Celestial Sword Sect's Land of Trial. I trust you are all aware that the difficulty and danger you will face will be much greater than for anyone else."
"Therefore, once you reach the Withered Wood Forest, you must not only be cautious, but you must also remain united. Infighting is strictly forbidden!"
After the Outer Elder finished speaking, all the Outer Disciples nodded in deep agreement.
They were going to a Land of Trial on the Celestial Sword Sect's home turf. The number of Celestial Sword Sect disciples would surely be several times their own, and their strength would likely be no less than theirs. On top of that, there would be competition from the disciples of other sects.
If they started fighting amongst themselves, it would undoubtedly make this Inner Sect Qualification Competition even more brutal.
The Outer Elder's words had voiced what was on all of their minds.
"There is one more thing you must pay special attention to."
"Traveling with you on this journey is Chu Qingyun, the champion of this year's Pill Battle Conference in Celestial Martial City. I'm sure you all know this already!"
Hearing this, everyone's gaze instantly focused on Chu Qingyun.
Chu Qingyun himself was a little puzzled, wondering why this Outer Elder had suddenly brought him up.
"There are some things you may not know, but I can tell you now."
"During the Pill Battle Conference in Celestial Martial City, Chu Qingyun displayed an astonishing talent for the Alchemy Dao, attracting fervent invitations from all the sects present, including the Celestial Sword Sect, the Talisman Puppet Sect, the Tianya Sect, and the Purple Cloud Sect."
"However, in the end, he chose our Saint Extreme Sect."
"Therefore, on this trip to the Celestial Sword Sect's Withered Wood Forest, I hope that none of you will mention Chu Qingyun's name. Just treat him as an ordinary participant."
After saying his piece, the Outer Elder sat back down.
The others also understood why he had made a point of saying this.
Chu Qingyun's monstrous performance at the Pill Battle Conference and his subsequent decision to join the Saint Extreme Sect was certainly a joyous event for the sect.
But for the other sects, it was the exact opposite.
There is competition between sects. If an opportunity arose to eliminate a genius from another sect, the other sects would surely not miss it.
This was especially true now, with the Tianya Sect and the Purple Cloud Sect constantly coveting the Saint Extreme Sect's position as one of the Three Major Sects.
