Chapter 246: Chu Huaixu in Saint Body State
In the Disciples’ Courtyard, Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing followed behind Chu Huaixu.
The crowd parted to either side as Chu Huaixu walked forward. With each step he took, everyone shifted to make way for him.
All the outer sect disciples fixed their eyes on him, clearing a path with reverence.
Everyone was sizing up the elegant and striking Xuanhuang Champion. Having just returned from a mission, as Jiang Chang and the others had claimed, he had crossed realms to kill three Evil Cultivators without a single scratch.
Not even the hem of his robe was the least bit soiled.
“Champion Chu!”
“Champion Chu!”
People greeted him one after another.
Those who used to call him Junior Brother Chu had clearly become fewer.
Since Chu Huaixu had already stepped into the Third Realm, becoming a True Disciple was just a matter of time.
In the future, even Inner Sect Senior Brothers and Sisters would have to respectfully address him as True Disciple Chu.
How could the Outer Sect Disciples still dare call him Junior Brother?
Chu Huaixu could easily guess that Jiang Chang and the others had likely spread word of his exploits.
And he understood why.
After the Eastern and Western Continents’ Grand Competition, he had gone to deal with matters in the Origin Spirit Realm, and upon returning, had been in seclusion. The outer sect had heard almost nothing from him.
Now, his first reappearance involved crossing realms to kill—definitely a shocking feat.
Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing, walking behind him, both felt that the reception was a little over the top.
After giving a brief report in the Disciples’ Courtyard, the three of them received a decent sum of Sect Contribution Points.
They didn’t linger long.
Xiang Yan and the others had hoped Chu Huaixu would gradually build prestige among his peers by completing ten Reinforcement Missions.
But unexpectedly, after just one trip down the mountain, he had already made a remarkable impact.
Over the next half-month, whenever Chu Huaixu and his companions’ Communication Talismans lit up, they immediately descended the mountain.
As he completed more and more reinforcement missions, his reputation in the outer sect grew steadily.
It was a different kind of renown from when he had won the title of Xuanhuang Champion.
After all, back then, he was still in the First Realm—no matter how impressive.
Now, however, the strength he displayed had left nearly all outer sect disciples in the dust.
During this period, Chu Huaixu and company completed a total of five reinforcement missions.
As the sun set, just after the trio finished dinner, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Just as they were preparing to return to their rooms, their Communication Talisman suddenly lit up again.
“Black light!” Xu Ziqing couldn’t help but cry out.
Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang exchanged glances.
A black-glowing talisman signified extreme urgency—and a highly dangerous situation.
They would need to report it to the Disciples’ Courtyard, request reinforcements, and then proceed to aid the mission.
The three immediately got up, not daring to waste a second.
Any delay could result in the death of fellow disciples!
On the way down the mountain, Chu Huaixu casually grabbed an Outer Sect Female Disciple and said, “Senior Sister, please deliver this Communication Talisman to the Disciples’ Courtyard immediately. The situation is urgent!”
Since the talisman could also serve as a Location Beacon, it had to be sent along.
Besides, since the three of them were traveling together, both Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing still had their own talismans.
The outer sect senior sister was stunned for a moment, but upon recognizing Chu Huaixu, she complied without hesitation and dashed off toward the courtyard at top speed.
The three mounted their Swift Movement Steeds and galloped downhill.
The black-glowing talisman made even Chu Huaixu’s expression turn slightly grim.
He didn’t forget to instruct, “We’re likely heading into a brutal fight. Be careful. Stay close to me.”
“Got it,” Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing replied.
In truth, Chu Huaixu wasn’t too worried about the Big Ice Block.
Her current overall strength was formidable. She could even kill across realms. A typical Third Realm Great Circle opponent was no match for her.
His main concern was Little Xu.
Xu Ziqing was only in the Second Realm, and he didn’t even have the Bronze Sword with him—it had been left back at Hidden Spirit Mountain.
He might be invincible among Second Realm cultivators, but if he encountered a Third Realm expert, he could only hope his Body-Trained Physique could take the hits.
Meanwhile, the Dead Fox silently put away the Xuanhuang Champion Token.
“As long as it's within my capabilities, it’s my ‘cosmetic outfit.’ I’ll wear it to show off.”
“Outside that range, if things get too dangerous, only an idiot would wear it—it’s a giant target.”
After all, when playing games, he always prioritized attacking the opponent wearing the flashiest cosmetic outfits!
When they arrived at the scene, however, the situation wasn’t as dire as expected.
“A Major Cultivator?” Chu Huaixu was slightly surprised.
A Sword Cultivator wearing an Inner Sect Disciple Token was floating mid-air, casting spells.
Here, they had found another Evil Cultivator altar, larger than the one they’d seen before. It housed several Fourth Realm Evil Cultivators, and even one Fifth Realm Evil Cultivator who was also airborne!
Chu Huaixu thought for a moment and figured his previous speculation might be correct.
“The Dao Gate higher-ups must have realized something unusual is going on.”
“That’s why, when outer sect stewards take teams down the mountain for major tasks, they send Inner Sect Major Cultivators to secretly follow—hoping to lure something out.” he thought.
This inner sect Sword Cultivator likely hadn’t just arrived.
Had he just arrived, the battlefield would have been far more chaotic.
Against several Fourth Realm and a Fifth Realm Evil Cultivator, a team led by an Outer Sect Steward would’ve already been slaughtered! They simply wouldn’t have stood a chance!
Coincidentally, the team was led by a familiar face—Niu Yuanshan.
Chu Huaixu guessed that Old Niu, upon seeing how powerful the enemies were, had immediately sent out a Communication Talisman.
Only after that did he realize an Inner Sect Major Cultivator was present among them.
Even so, the presence of four Fourth Realm enemies meant the battle was intense.
Chu Huaixu rushed into the battlefield while thinking to himself:
“Little Martial Uncle Ancestor, looks like the Black Moon Sect’s leader doesn’t take you seriously at all!”
After all, Jiang Zhi had vowed to slay demons for a full Sixty-Year Cycle.
That absolute killing machine had already been on his demon-slaying crusade for nearly fifty years.
If the enemies were merely small fry like before, then naturally it wouldn’t draw the attention of that Peerless Killing God.
But now, with a Fifth Realm Evil Cultivator entering Dao Gate territory, that would surely provoke Jiang Zhi’s wrath!
Unless something unexpected happened, he would likely descend the mountain personally and start purging!
“This Black Moon Sect really is getting arrogant!”
“Your so-called sect leader better truly be Ninth Realm.”
“Otherwise, there’s no way he’ll survive Jiang Zhi’s fury,” Chu Huaixu thought.
With so many elite “wild bosses” present, Chu Huaixu naturally picked the fattest one to kill!
He pulled out his Sword Scabbard and charged straight toward a Fourth Realm Evil Cultivator.
Interestingly, among all the Dao Gate cultivators present, besides the floating Major Cultivator, the strongest was none other than team leader Niu Yuanshan.
He was currently engaged in a fierce battle with a Fourth Realm Evil Cultivator, barely holding his ground and already badly injured.
The remaining three Fourth Realm Evil Cultivators were helping the Fifth Realm one fight the Dao Gate Major Cultivator.
Old Niu, upon seeing Chu Huaixu rushing to assist, was momentarily stunned.
This was someone he had once regarded as a nephew. Now, he was a traitor to the Moon Country Organization.
Yet, this very traitor, charging at full speed, still shouted, “Steward Niu, I’m here to assist you!”
Even though he was just in the Third Realm—and had only just stepped into it—he hadn’t even reached the First Heaven yet.
But upon seeing Old Niu struggling against a Second Heaven Fourth Realm Evil Cultivator, Chu Huaixu threw caution to the wind and charged in decisively.
The absurd part was Niu Yuanshan’s first reaction—“Don’t mind me! It’s too dangerous here!”
Just like old times, his instinct was to worry about this young man’s safety. He was afraid Chu Huaixu would get hurt, afraid he’d throw himself into danger.
“I must be insane... he’s a traitor... he’s not Huo Dingyi anymore!”
Yet Chu Huaixu moved far too quickly.
So fast that Niu Yuanshan didn’t even have time to think.
This black-robed youth had a golden imprint emerge at the center of his brow. His previously deep, ink-black eyes now blazed with golden flames!
As he ran, the two golden flames trailed long fiery tails through the air.
“Just Third Realm? Courting death!” the Evil Cultivator roared.
“Is that so?” Chu Huaixu responded coolly.
His speed surged again!
In the blink of an eye, he was already at the Evil Cultivator’s side.
A flash of surprise and confusion flickered in the enemy’s eyes.
Who is this guy?! That speed can’t belong to a Third Realm cultivator!
“Boom—!”
Chu Huaixu, now in Saint Body State, threw a punch—no technique, no form, just a pure strike.
Yet Niu Yuanshan froze on the spot.
Because that one simple punch sent the Evil Cultivator flying back three whole zhang.
