This Outer Elder was protecting Chu Qingyun, afraid that he would be targeted by the other sects if his identity was exposed.
And although he'd framed it as a "suggestion" and a "hope" that others wouldn't reveal Chu Qingyun's identity, he was a dignified elder. If anyone dared to ignore his suggestion and hope, and they were found out...
A Tier Four Flying Demon Beast was incredibly fast.
The journey from the Saint Extreme Sect's gates to the Celestial Sword Sect's Withered Wood Forest took just over a day, and they reached their destination at noon on the third day.
The arrival times for each sect at the Withered Wood Forest had all been arranged in advance.
Therefore, those closer to the destination departed later, while those farther away departed earlier. Generally speaking, they would all arrive at roughly the same time.
The hundred-plus people from the Saint Extreme Sect arrived neither early nor late.
A few other sects had already arrived before them.
