456: Pre-battle discussions, respective tasks

Although Ink Saint was sealed by 'Feng', he still possessed combat power at present.

He would not give up on the hunyuan king crystal battle.

Whether for the hunyuan king crystal or for the battle against the Primal Chaos Beast, Ink Saint would not shy away.

Then Su Yuan's gaze met Miao Saint and Cloud Saint.

Miao Saint's real name is Zhang Zimiao, and his identity is the Director-General of the Martial Arts Security Bureau.

The Martial Arts Security Bureau is responsible for the public security of Xia Country and maintaining social order.

Su Yuan didn't interact with them much on a daily basis.

Cloud Saint's name is Song Yueyun, Director of the Jing Province Martial Arts Education Bureau.

The Hua Saint Zhang Tianhua, whom Su Yuan had seen on Li Dieyi's Martial Saint list earlier, was the Deputy Director of the Jing Province Martial Arts Education Bureau.

Su Yuan didn't recognize any of the other Martial Saints.

However, those gathered here were all high-ranking figures from various parts of Xia Country, possessing immense power and terrifying combat strength.

Among everyone present, Su Yuan was probably the only anomaly, the only student in his teens.

After Qin Chengyan finished counting the combat power, he immediately looked at Gu Lingkong beside him.

“Martial Saint ranked third, Sword Saint.”

His gaze shifted again, looking at Zhao Feiguang.

“Martial Saint ranked fifth, Light Saint.”

“Martial Saint ranked sixth, Ink Saint.”

“Martial Saint ranked seventh, Miao Saint.”

“Martial Saint ranked eighth, Cloud Saint.”

“Martial Saint ranked ninth, Blade Saint.”

“Martial Saint ranked tenth, Halberd Saint.”

“Excluding Star Saint and Butterfly Saint, eight Martial Saints from the martial saint ranking list are present.”

Su Yuan had followed Qin Chengyan's gaze just now and learned that Halberd Saint had also arrived at the Outpost.

Halberd Saint was on the thinner side, but his height was not low; Su Yuan roughly estimated him to be about 2.1 meters tall.

He stood there, extremely conspicuous.

“In addition, Thunder Saint, Saint Yuan, Heart Saint, Rong Saint, Gao Saint...”

Qin Chengyan read out the codenames of the other Martial Saints.

Rong Saint Xu Xinrong, the family head of the Xu Family, the First Family of Wudu Province, a Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artist, possessing three Perfection Laws.

Gao Saint Jiang Fenggao, the family head of the Jiang Family, the First Family of Mowu Province, a Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artist, also possessing three Perfection Laws.

Xu Xinghan and Jiang Xiangze, who took the Martial Arts Examination in the same year as Su Yuan, came from these two Families.

Rong Saint and Gao Saint's gazes remained on Su Yuan; they were Xu Xinghan and Jiang Xiangze's fathers, respectively.

Watching Su Yuan standing in the same space as them, discussing pre-war matters, both of them were filled with emotion.

They never expected a student from the same year as their sons to actually participate in this hunyuan king crystal battle.

It was utterly preposterous.

Listening to Qin Chengyan list the codenames of the Martial Saints, and then sensing their auras.

Su Yuan thought to himself, our side's Martial Saint-Grade combat power is indeed superior in quality to that of the Hunyuan Clan.

Any Martial Saint possesses three Perfection Laws.

In contrast, on the Hunyuan Clan's side, Primal Chaos Beasts comparable to one or two Perfection Laws are everywhere.

Those with three are pitifully few.

If not for their sheer numbers, perhaps this Hunyuan Sacred Land would have long been occupied by Xia Country Martial Artists.

As for the Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artists, most of them are deputies of various top forces.

For example, Long Xinhan and Qin Anwu are both Vice Presidents of the Jing Province Martial Arts Association.

The identities of other Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artists are largely similar.

“In this hunyuan king crystal battle, after collecting interest these past few days, the Hunyuan Clan's Martial Saint-Grade combat power has been reduced to over seventy.”

“The Ninth Realm Peak combat power remains unchanged, still over two hundred.”

“This time, we must find the hunyuan king crystal as quickly as possible. Once the hunyuan king crystal is found, send its location via the wristband, and we will rush there immediately.”

Qin Chengyan waved his right hand, and a blue wristband appeared before everyone's eyes.

“The wristband's function is very simple, it only has a positioning function.”

“Whoever discovers the hunyuan king crystal, just press the button on the left side of the wristband, and we will receive your location and rush over quickly.”

Why notify others after finding the hunyuan king crystal instead of hiding it alone?

Can you protect the hunyuan king crystal by yourself? Even refining it on the spot would take a lot of time.

The hunyuan king crystal is not a hunyuan crystal; it contains extremely vast energy, and the refining time is incomparable to that of a hunyuan crystal.

Even a super Martial Saint like Spear Saint would need several minutes to refine a hunyuan king crystal.

In a few minutes, can you guarantee there are no Primal Chaos Beasts around? At that time, all Primal Chaos Beasts will frantically search for the hunyuan king crystal.

More importantly, the hunyuan king crystal is not as difficult to find as the hunyuan crystal.

When it is born, it emits dazzling purple light, and an area of dozens of miles is covered by layers of purple mist.

Even if the hunyuan king crystal is stored in a Magic Treasure, it cannot conceal that dazzling purple glow.

Storage Magic Treasures will reflect the purple light, making it impossible to hide.

Even the Zhu Family's forbidden item, One Thought Sea Absorption, won't work.

The purity of the hunyuan king crystal is too high; unless it's a Tenth Realm method, no other method can conceal the hunyuan king crystal's aura.

If Xia Country Martial Artists ultimately obtain the hunyuan king crystal, the distribution will be based on the number of Primal Chaos Beasts killed and contributions to healing allied Martial Artists.

The Martial Artists put away their wristbands, and Qin Chengyan continued, “It has been three months since the last hunyuan king crystal battle, so I believe everyone has a lot of pent-up energy.”

“It has been three months since the last hunyuan king crystal battle, so I believe everyone has a lot of pent-up energy.”

“In this hunyuan king crystal battle, you all can show off your skills. I believe you are much stronger than three months ago.”

“During this time, anyone who encounters an opponent of equal or lesser strength, kill them!”

“If you encounter 'Feng', 'Jue', or 'Zhong', then run immediately.”

“Their primary goal is to find the hunyuan king crystal, and under normal circumstances, they will not attack you.”

“Even if 'Jue' and 'Zhong' are bloodthirsty Pure Hunyuan Beasts, at such a critical moment, they will prioritize competing for the hunyuan king crystal.”

At this point, Qin Chengyan paused.

“The three Pure Hunyuan Beasts also have a competitive relationship in secret; whoever obtains the hunyuan king crystal will have their strength slightly enhanced.”

“The previous two times, 'Feng' obtained the hunyuan king crystal. If 'Jue' and 'Zhong' don't obtain the hunyuan king crystal this time, they will completely lose the qualification to compete with 'Feng'.”

“So this time, if you encounter 'Jue' and 'Zhong', they will most likely ignore you and search for the hunyuan king crystal first.”

“At a crucial moment, every second becomes very important.”

Immediately, Qin Chengyan's expression became serious, and his gaze solemnly swept over the Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artists.

“This time, I'm counting on all of you to search for the hunyuan king crystal at full speed.”

“When the hunyuan king crystal is born, fifty of you Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artists must head towards the direction of the purple light, forming teams of two to explore for traces of the hunyuan king crystal together.”

“Finding the hunyuan king crystal is the main mission, and killing any encountered Primal Chaos Beasts is the secondary mission.”

After he finished speaking, the fifty Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artists said in unison, “Understood!”

Qin Chengyan nodded slightly at this, then shifted his gaze to the Martial Saints.

“All Martial Saints, those with three or fewer Perfection Laws, your mission this time is the same as the Ninth Realm Peak Martial Artists.”

“Act alone and fully search for the hunyuan king crystal.”

Suddenly, Qin Chengyan's tone changed, and a chilling killing intent burst forth from his eyes.

“Martial Saints with four or more Perfection Laws.”

“You also act alone, with killing Martial Saint-Grade Primal Chaos Beasts as your main mission, and searching for the hunyuan king crystal as your secondary mission.”

“The seventy-plus Martial Saint-Grade Primal Chaos Beasts are entrusted to you.”

Heart Saint, Thunder Saint, and other Martial Saints nodded in agreement.

There were too many Martial Saint-Grade combat forces on the Hunyuan Clan's side, so Qin Chengyan had to allocate some forces to deal with them.
