The Final Tally, Crushing All Competition
In the following days...
Continue to wait.
After annihilating several more waves of disciples from various factions who had come upon hearing the news.
No one dared to set foot in this canyon again.
The disciples of the Dragon-Seeking Sect immediately decided to stop waiting around.
Take the initiative.
Then.
Within the Starry Sky Realm, a Dragon Dragon-Seeking Sect Team, seemingly a formidable weapon, appeared.
Charged recklessly.
They are hunting down disciples of various powerful factions.
Handing over the beast soul is fine.
If they don't hand over the beast souls, the entire army will be wiped out.
However, the Dragon-Seeking Sect has always adhered to the principle of being kind to others, and although they steal beast souls, they only do so once.
In the time that followed.
They would then cease attempting to steal the beast souls of that faction.
Therefore, many factions that had paid protection money once had no choice but to continue hunting spirit beasts for the remainder of the time.
Try to get some points.
However, the disciples of the Star God Palace do not need to pay protection fees.
This was something Chen Ning had instructed him to say.
The Star God Palace has been of great help, not only assisting the Dragon-Seeking Sect in establishing itself in the Central Province Plains, but also using the Star-Gazing and Heaven-Questioning Technique to find a clue to the item left behind by the First-Generation Sect Master.
Moreover, the old palace master even gifted the Heaven-Swallowing Bag to Chen Ning.
These are acts of kindness.
Chen Ning will certainly repay the debt.
As for the disciples of Heavenly Lake, Chen Ning didn't actually want to collect protection fees.
Unfortunately, this mission required me to rank in the top three.
Heavenly Lake, Yin-Yang Holy Land, and the Asura Divine Sect are three forces that cannot be bypassed.
We can only ask the disciples of Heavenly Lake to make do.
Chen Ning felt that Heavenly Lake was very strong in other areas, so even if the disciples lost this round, it wasn't a big deal.
After all.
Heavenly Lake has held the top position for tens of thousands of years.
No one can shake its position.
With Jun Wuya, a Half-Step Martial Venerable, around, no disciple of any faction could deal with him.
The disciples of Heavenly Lake originally intended to lead the allied forces in a counterattack.
But in the end, when Ling Xiaoxiao revealed her Martial Venerable cultivation...
There was no room for resistance anymore.
They had no choice but to obediently hand over the beast soul.
In the remaining two days.
The disciples of the Dragon-Seeking Sect have entered a vacation mode, studying martial arts and meditating in the Starry Sky Realm, without any hint of fierce competition.
The other factions were engaged in fierce fighting.
But they all knew.
At best, we'll only manage to get second place this time.
The number of beast souls obtained from the Dragon-Seeking Sect is already an outrageous and unparalleled quantity.
The Starry Sky Realm was no longer in doubt.
People couldn't help but turn their attention to several other hidden places.
"Look, everyone! A black horse has sprung out from the Grass and Trees Realm!"
Everyone looked at the mirror reflecting the scene inside the Grass and Wood Mirror.
"The Chaotic Saber Society? That seems to be a third-rate force. They only sent one disciple into the society this time, and that disciple is already at the Peak of Spirit Martial."
"It seems that the Chaotic Saber Society is the ultimate winner in this Grass and Trees Realm. The points they've gained are enough to elevate them to a third-rate power."
Many people want to know who the leader of the Chaotic Saber Society is, but they have no way of knowing.
Only super powers have exclusive seats.
In the innermost circle, in the most dazzling position.
Third-rate forces can only remain far to the outside.
It was a thousand feet away from the center.
Not to mention.
They're still a third-rate force.
"This Chaotic Saber Society seems rather interesting..."
On his seat in the Yin-Yang Holy Land, the Holy Lord Qingfeng smiled.
The Holy Lord Qinghe laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's just some thieves coming to cause trouble again at Three Quarters Past Noon..."
At every ranking event.
Thieves would appear Three Quarters Past Noon.
They're using this opportunity to cause trouble.
However, in such occasions, all the forces of Nine Provinces gather together, and the trouble caused by the thieves at Three Quarters Past Noon at each grand gathering is quickly quelled.
So.
Neither of the two holy masters of the Yin-Yang Holy Land cared.
The Yin-Yang Holy Land was not the only one to realize this.
Other superpowers also didn't take it seriously.
"This time, they've come up with something new, actually replacing a nobody in the grand event..."
"Hahaha... just consider it adding to the laughs."
Several leaders of nearby super powers all wore faint smiles.
More than the trouble these thieves caused, they were more concerned about the next few rounds of competition.
Not long after.
The first round of the disciple battle has come to an end.
All the disciples from the four secret realms were teleported out.
Next.
The people of Heavenly Lake were responsible for counting the number of beast souls obtained by each faction.
Award corresponding points.
The inventory of the Starry Sky Realm begins.
First, there were the six forces that gained nothing: the Asura Divine Sect, the War Academy, the Hall of Heroic Souls, the Wind and Thunder Divine Cult, the Four Symbols Immortal Sect, and the Demon Battle Saint Sect.
"Hall of Heroic Souls, zero Beast Souls, no points earned."
"Wind and Thunder Divine Cult, zero beast souls, no points earned."
"Asura Divine Sect, zero beast souls, no points gained."
At this moment, the disciples all looked dejected and couldn't lift their heads.
This is incredibly shameful in front of the entire cultivation world.
However, some third-rate and insignificant forces located far away were unable to obtain timely information about the secret realm.
They were all utterly shocked.
"What? The competition at this grand event is so fierce! Even with the top ten overlords of Central Province, so many forces have come up empty-handed?"
"Even the Asura Divine Sect suffered a crushing defeat this time; this is truly unexpected!"
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
Not long after.
After the other super powers had finished taking stock of their respective situations, Elder Heavenly Lake began to read aloud:
"Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor, seventeen beast souls, one point gained."
"Heavenly Immortal Sect, thirty-six beast souls, three points gained."
"Snow God Pavilion, sixty beast souls, six points gained."
"Star God Palace, 200 Beast Souls, 20 Points Gained."
"Yin-Yang Holy Land, 170 Beast Souls, 17 Points Gained."
"Heavenly Lake Holy Land, 320 Beast Souls, 32 Points Awarded."
Other superpowers are also in dire straits.
Even the top ten champions reaped meager rewards.
These were all beast souls that I hunted desperately in the remaining time after paying the protection fee once.
It is truly invaluable.
Chen Ning couldn't help but sigh, these Heavenly Lake disciples were indeed remarkable; even after being robbed once, they still managed to achieve good results.
And at this moment.
As yet another result was announced, the elder's voice suddenly rose considerably.
"Dragon-Seeking Sect, 3980 Beast Souls, 398 Points Gained!"
The elder's voice from Heavenly Lake carried far and wide.
The audience was stunned!
Holy crap! That's outrageous!
"This is an unprecedented number! And yet, the disciples of the Dragon-Seeking Sect haven't hunted any spirit beasts; they've only ever plundered others'."
"This means that the total number of beast souls that the eighteen super powers should have received is now all thanks to the Dragon-Seeking Sect!"
"Heavenly Lake only got 32 points, Dragon-Seeking Sect's record is ten times that of Heavenly Lake! It can be said to be unprecedented!"
"Perhaps... at this ranking event, we will witness the emergence of a new overlord!"
