Chapter 704 - 704: Has Chu Qingyun Gone Mad?

Faced with the Celestial Sword Sect's provocation.

Ban Xing'an, the most powerful Celestial King Realm expert from the Saint Extreme Sect, not only failed to step in and stop them, but instead stabbed Chu Qingyun in the back.

This was simply too much!

Before, when Ban Xing'an had used the Array Platform to blackmail Chu Qingyun for Saint Extreme Points, they had found it somewhat acceptable in their hearts.

After all, in the world of Martial Artists, the strong were revered.

Ban Xing'an was the strongest, so it was only natural for him to reap the benefits. Who could blame him for not being afraid to offend Chu Qingyun?

But now, in the face of the Celestial Sword Sect and in a matter of sect honor, Ban Xing'an was still only concerned with his own petty grudge. It was simply too narrow-minded!

It was difficult for anyone to accept or approve of.

As for Wan Jianxin and his three companions, their faces instantly lit up with interest.

They weren't from the Saint Extreme Sect, so even if they got Saint Extreme Points, they couldn't use them to cultivate in the Saint Extreme Tower.

However, Saint Extreme Points were a highly sought-after commodity among the disciples of the Saint Extreme Sect. Eight thousand Saint Extreme Points could be sold for at least sixteen million Primordial Spirit Liquid, or even more!

"Eight thousand Saint Extreme Points to buy an Array Platform. How magnanimous. It seems this Array Platform is quite important to you."

"In that case, why don't we make a deal as well? We can stay out of this matter with the Array Platform, as long as you give us... ten thousand Saint Extreme Points!"

Wan Jianxin sneered, mimicking Ban Xing'an's exorbitant demand.

And his appetite was even greater than Ban Xing'an's!

Instantly, many from the Saint Extreme Sect looked at Chu Qingyun with pity. This was blatant extortion.

He had just paid eight thousand Saint Extreme Points for the Array Platform and hadn't even collected it yet, and now someone was demanding another ten thousand. It seemed Chu Qingyun wasn't going to be able to take the Array Platform away after all.

However, to everyone's surprise, Chu Qingyun suddenly burst out laughing. "Ten thousand Saint Extreme Points? Fine. But I don't have that much on me. I can only write you an IOU."

He's really giving it to them!?

Has Chu Qingyun gone mad!?

Not only were the people from the Saint Extreme Sect utterly astonished, but even the instigator, Ban Xing'an, and Wan Jianxin's group were stunned speechless.

Wan Jianxin had just said it offhandedly. He never actually expected Chu Qingyun to really give them ten thousand Saint Extreme Points.

"Chu, don't be rash! That IOU will have your Qi imprint on it. You won't be able to go back on your word!" Qi Hao hurriedly whispered to Chu Qingyun.

"That's right, Junior Brother Chu. With the Celestial Sword Sect involved, if you really write this IOU, you will absolutely have to honor it. Otherwise, you'll be disregarding the sect's honor!"

Deng Xuan also chimed in, trying to persuade him.

"Hmph. He just said he would write an IOU for ten thousand Saint Extreme Points!"

"Chu Qingyun, you're not thinking of going back on your word, are you? The Saint Extreme Sect is one of the Three Major Sects of the Northern Domain. Don't tell me your Inner Sect Disciples are all untrustworthy!"

Wan Jianxin said coldly.

"Don't worry. Since I said it, I'll do it."

Chu Qingyun smiled, took out a Scroll made of Beast Hide from his Storage Ring, wrote out an IOU for ten thousand Saint Extreme Points, then stamped it with his Qi imprint and tossed it to Wan Jianxin.

Wan Jianxin caught the Scroll, inspected it, and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

Getting ten thousand Saint Extreme Points for nothing—worth over twenty million Primordial Spirit Liquid—put him in an extremely good mood.

"Haha! Chu Qingyun, seeing as you know how to adapt to circumstances, I'll give you a hand!"

As he spoke, Wan Jianxin flicked his Sword Pointing. A sword-shaped blast of Primordial Power shot out. With a BANG, it shattered the milky-white light on the Array Platform, revealing the platform within.

"Sigh... Chu, you... you..."

Qi Hao sighed, at a complete loss for words.

He had never seen such a spendthrift as Chu Qingyun.

Eighteen thousand Saint Extreme Points, just given away for no good reason!

As for Deng Xuan, her eyes were now filled with disappointment.

She had originally thought Chu Qingyun was exceptionally talented and had a good temperament. She never expected him to be the type to act out of spite, especially when it was against his own interests.

However, the smile on Chu Qingyun's face never wavered.

'Gloat. Go on and gloat. Before long, you'll have to spit out everything you took from me, with interest! But... why aren't Zhou Jianxiong and the others here yet...'

Chu Qingyun thought to himself, but he didn't rush to collect the Array Platform.

"Everyone, we'll be taking our leave. When we have time in the future, we'll come to the Saint Extreme Sect to collect our debt! Hahaha..."

Wan Jianxin laughed heartily and prepared to leave.

Chu Qingyun's brow twitched. He was about to speak and stop them, but then he suddenly looked up, his expression turning a little strange.

'Someone else is here. And they're not coming from Zhou Jianxiong's direction!'

Soon, Ban Xing'an, Wan Jianxin, Qi Hao, and the others also sensed six more powerful auras rapidly approaching.

Wan Jianxin and his three companions immediately halted.

Everyone once again turned to look at Chu Qingyun with pity.

'This guy's luck is just too awful!'

Soon, six figures rushed into the valley.

"It's Zhao Junying from the Tianya Sect!"

Qi Hao's expression darkened as he spoke.

These six were from the Tianya Sect.

The Tianya Sect and the Purple Cloud Sect had always targeted the Saint Extreme Sect at every turn. The animosity between them ran deep.

Moreover, just over ten days ago, they had clashed upon entering the Blood Sect's ruins.

However, upon seeing the people from the Tianya Sect arrive, a glint flashed in Wan Jianxin's eyes. He laughed and walked up to greet them, telling Zhao Junying all about the eight thousand and ten thousand Saint Extreme Points.

Hearing this, the eyes of Zhao Junying and his five companions immediately lit up.

Ten thousand Saint Extreme Points! That was an enormous fortune!

"You're Chu Qingyun, right? This Array Platform is a Treasure from the Blood Sect's ruins, and its defense was broken by Wan from the Celestial Sword Sect. No matter how you look at it, it can't be considered yours yet, so..."

Unable to resist the temptation, Zhao Junying also wanted to get a piece of the action.

The faces of the Saint Extreme Sect members turned black with anger.

They were furious at the insatiable greed and blatant extortion of the Celestial Sword Sect and Tianya Sect, but they were also furious at Chu Qingyun for some unknown madness that led him to actually give them the Saint Extreme Points.

However, Chu Qingyun cut him off impatiently. "Cut the crap. What do you want?"

Chu Qingyun had been keeping watch. He had already sensed a Martial King Realm aura appearing from Zhou Jianxiong's direction. Clearly, they had arrived!

Everyone else, however, had their attention focused on Zhao Junying and Chu Qingyun, and failed to notice this.

Zhao Junying was taken aback, not expecting Chu Qingyun to speak to him like that.

However, he suppressed his anger and continued, "The Celestial Sword Sect wants ten thousand Saint Extreme Points, and your own Saint Extreme Sect wants eight thousand."

"My Tianya Sect wouldn't dare compare ourselves to the Celestial Sword Sect, of course, but we're at least a bit stronger than the Saint Extreme Sect. So, you can give us nine thousand Saint Extreme Points, and this Array Platform will be yours!"
