446: Guang Sheng reported that he had left the outpost.

This probability is very high.

Star Saint is already the top Martial Saint; it's not impossible for him to be in seclusion to achieve a Breakthrough to the Tenth Realm at this stage.

For Star Saint himself, achieving a Breakthrough to the Tenth Realm first is indeed more important than the hunyuan king crystal competition.

After Gu Lingkong finished speaking, Qin Chengyan removed the barrier.

Everything that needed to be understood was mostly clear, and everything regarding Ink Saint was now known.

When the hunyuan king crystal competition begins, they would definitely demand justice for Ink Saint.

"Greetings, Spear Saint and Sword Saint."

As the barrier was removed, the crowd of Martial Artists bowed to Qin Chengyan and the other.

"Mhm, let's go to the first-floor hall of Building One to talk."

Qin Chengyan nodded.

Immediately, everyone swarmed into the first-floor hall of Building One.

Counting Spear Saint and Sword Saint, there were currently fifty-four people in the Outpost, and more Martial Artists would slowly arrive in the following days.

To prepare for the hunyuan king crystal competition.

"Sword Saint and I are already aware of what happened to Ink Saint."

"Please rest assured; since 'Feng' dared to attack Ink Saint, we will certainly demand justice from it."

In the first-floor hall of Building One, Qin Chengyan stood among the crowd and looked around, his tone firm and resolute.

"Furthermore, 'Feng' must pay a price for its actions. We'll head out later to collect some interest from them."

"In the coming days, you may move about outside as you wish. You don't need to worry about the three Hunyuan Beasts—'Feng', 'Jue', and 'Zhong'—attacking you."

"Sword Saint and I will keep them in check."

Then Gu Lingkong spoke.

"Seize as many hunyuan crystals as you can, and kill as many Primal Chaos Beasts as possible."

"With Spear Saint and me backing you up, you can act boldly."

Gu Lingkong's extremely confident words gave the Martial Artists a great sense of security.

Su Yuan stared at Gu Lingkong; the President's current strength had surely improved significantly.

With his old injuries healed and a period of seclusion, the President's strength was incomparable to what it had been recently.

Spear Saint and Sword Saint had arrived together; they might have sparred before coming.

Even if the President couldn't defeat the Spear Saint beside him, he at least wouldn't be defeated as quickly as before.

Spear Saint hadn't been Cultivating for nothing all these years; it would take some time for Sword Saint to catch up to him.

"Spear Saint, what about Star Saint? Will he come for this hunyuan king crystal competition?"

A Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artist asked Qin Chengyan.

"Star Saint still won't be participating in the hunyuan king crystal competition this time."

Most people's expressions changed slightly, and their sense of security weakened a bit.

"However, Light Saint will be participating in this hunyuan king crystal competition."

"He should arrive around tomorrow morning."

Qin Chengyan smiled as he thought of something.

"Light Saint!"

"Light Saint is actually going to participate in the hunyuan king crystal competition? If I remember correctly, Light Saint hasn't appeared in public since the Martial Saint Exchange Conference ended fifteen years ago."

"Light Saint, ranked fifth on the martial saint ranking list! With him around, we won't be like the previous two hunyuan king crystal competitions, where we lost our fighting capacity due to injuries."

"Exactly! And this time we also have Saint Yuan, who also possesses the Perfect Light Law!"

"Light Saint hasn't appeared for over a decade, yet he's actually participating in the hunyuan king crystal competition this time!"

Su Yuan listened to the discussions of the surrounding Martial Artists and was also delighted.

Zhao Feiguang, Vice Master Zhao, was actually going to enter this Hunyuan Sacred Land.

This Vice Master Zhao was truly hidden deep. Based on their discussion, Su Yuan deduced that Light Saint had been by Star Saint's side all these years, acting as a 'Ninth Realm Initial Stage' Vice Hall Master at the Ning Xiang Martial Arts Hall.

If a powerful Martial Saint wanted to hide their identity, others wouldn't find them even if they searched every inch of the earth.

Not to mention that this powerful Martial Saint was the Light Saint, and he was staying by the side of the strongest Martial Saint, Star Saint.

"Spear Saint, what about Butterfly Saint? Is there any news of Butterfly Saint entering the Hunyuan Sacred Land?"

Someone asked Qin Chengyan again with an expectant look.

This time, Qin Chengyan shook his head. "There's no news of Butterfly Saint. She hasn't made a move in a long time, so she likely won't participate in this hunyuan king crystal competition."

Hearing this, Su Yuan had a question: Could a Tenth Realm Martial Artist enter the Second Hunyuan Sacred Land?

However, Su Yuan didn't ask Qin Chengyan in front of everyone.

Asking Qin Chengyan directly would expose that Instructor Li was a Tenth Realm Martial Artist.

Su Yuan thought for a moment; a Tenth Realm Martial Artist should be able to enter this Hunyuan Sacred Land.

The threshold was the Ninth Realm Peak, but it didn't say Tenth Realm Martial Artists couldn't enter.

"Understood. Thank you, Spear Saint."

Learning that Butterfly Saint most likely wouldn't enter the Second Hunyuan Sacred Land, the Martial Artists were somewhat disappointed, but they also felt that the win rate for this hunyuan king crystal competition was extremely high.

Not having seen Light Saint in action for over a decade, his strength might even rival the Pure Hunyuan Beasts 'Zhong' or even 'Jue'.

Although Spear Saint was a fraction weaker than 'Feng', he could still hold his own for a long time.

Whether it was their imagination or not, Sword Saint's strength seemed much more formidable than it had been three months ago; facing 'Jue' alone wouldn't be a problem for him.

This way, 'Feng', 'Jue', and 'Zhong' would all be occupied.

This group of Martial Artists could then attack other Primal Chaos Beasts without restraint and compete for the hunyuan king crystals.

As such, the chances of winning the hunyuan king crystal competition in a few days were much higher than the previous two times.

Coupled with Light Saint's Perfect Light Law, their injury concerns were well-addressed.

With a superstar like Saint Yuan present, the Martial Artists felt increasingly confident that they could seize the hunyuan king crystals this time.

"We'll discuss the specifics once Light Saint and the other Martial Artists arrive. For now, Sword Saint and I will head out to settle some scores with the Primal Chaos Beasts."

"To collect some interest for what they did to Ink Saint."

Qin Chengyan glanced toward the area outside the Outpost's barrier.

Then he withdrew his gaze and stared at Su Yuan in the crowd.

"Saint Yuan, you're coming with us."

"Huh?"

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment before responding, "Alright, Spear Saint."

Thus, Qin Chengyan, Gu Lingkong, and Su Yuan left the Outpost in front of all the Martial Artists.

After the three disappeared from the Outpost, Miao Saint and several other Martial Saints glanced at each other and then left the Outpost to search for hunyuan crystals.

Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artists like Long Xinhan and Qin Anwu didn't move. It was already past 5:00 PM; even if there were hunyuan crystals left outside the Outpost, they likely wouldn't get any.

Long Xinhan knew that President Su had already obtained five hunyuan crystals this morning, so it was uncertain if any were left outside the Outpost today.

Most likely, there weren't.

Only those at the Martial Saint level, or even the powerhouses among them, would leave the Outpost now to investigate.

At the very least, they could kill one or two Primal Chaos Beasts to seize their Origins... Outside the Outpost, Qin Chengyan and Gu Lingkong flew through the air at high speed with Su Yuan.

"Tsk tsk, good lad! You actually killed Hou the Killer."

"Su Yuan, you did an excellent job!"

Gu Lingkong looked at Su Yuan beside him with full admiration and marveled.

Since there were no outsiders here, Gu Lingkong no longer addressed Su Yuan as Saint Yuan.

"Hehe."

"The President overpraises me."

Su Yuan chuckled.

Qin Chengyan didn't speak; his eyes kept scanning the ground below as if searching for something.

A dozen seconds later, Qin Chengyan reached out with his right hand, and a pillar of lightning suddenly shot downward.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion erupted, and Qin Chengyan reached out again, a hunyuan beast origin landing in his hand.

Then he said to Su Yuan, "Su Yuan, here."
