Monarch Of Time-Novel

Chapter 691

Waving his hand, the Grand Elder lowered the protective formations around the sect, allowing the 'Hellfire crow' to enter inside, before he looked at the purple-robed Bai Liuxian and answered

''There is a tournament going on to select the top 1000 outer disciples. If you want to, you are free to come and spectate, but the tournament is nearing its end already.''

The purple-robed old man, 'uncle Mo' smiled as he looked at Bai Liuxian and said

''Princess, since we are already here why don't we have a look? Perhaps there will be someone who can prove to be of use to you.''

Bai Liuxian nodded in response before she stood up and patted the back of the 'Hellfire crow' gently a moment later.

The enormous bird that was more than 100 meters long let out an intimidating cry towards the Grand Elder and the disciples of the Holy sect below it, before it shot to the distance a moment later, leaving Bai Liuxian and 'uncle Mo' behind.

The 3 inner court Elders all had complicated looks on their faces when they heard that Bai Liuxian was looking for followers who would help her in the City of Immortals.

They didn't particularly mind that the disciples of the Holy sect would have a chance to follow someone from a powerful clan like Bai Liuxian.

Instead, that could prove to be a boon to some of those disciples.

The problem was the influence of the Bai clan itself.

They were afraid that the balance of the sect would be disrupted if Bai Liuxian happened to take an interest in an outer court disciple coming from the powerful families and clans around the Holy sect's territory. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

After all, if one of those powerful families and clans happened to obtain the backing of the Bai clan, then they would have no reason to fear the Holy sect any longer.

Even the sect master of the Holy sect wouldn't want to offend the Bai clan and would most likely be forced to look the other way.

Seeing the Grand Elder and the 3 inner court Elders behind him escort Bai Liuxian and the purple-robed 'uncle Mo' towards the arena, the disciples in the audience seats who had already noticed the eye-catching sight of the 'Hellfire crow' arriving earlier, all started discussing in low voices

''Who are these people? Even the Grand Elder is escorting them personally...'

''That woman is so beautiful but I have never seen her before! She probably doesn't belong to a power within our Holy sect's territory. I wonder which family she belongs to.''

''They definitely come from some extremely powerful family or clan. Didn't you see that the Grand Elder activated the protective formations around the sect earlier? They are probably strong enough to pose a threat even to the Grand Elder, or the Grand Elder wouldn't have activated them.''

''Right! The aura coming from that black bird also made me shiver when it let out that cry earlier. Even Elder Sun Wen's aura isn't this terrifying.''

It wasn't just the disciples in the audience seats who were paying attention to the 2 newcomers, but even those who had entered the top 1000 in the Martial Roll of Honor and were standing in the surrounding platforms, as they had now turned their eyes towards Bai Liuxian and the purple-robed old man in the sky.

The Grand Elder seemed to have noticed this change, as he snorted angrily and he said in a displeased tone

''What are you brats looking at? These 2 guests are here to have a look at the Martial Roll of Honor. Who told you to stop the tournament?''

The outer court disciple whose turn was to step on the fighting platform and challenge someone, as well as the outer court Elder responsible for the platform both started to sweat as they continued the fights without any delay.

They could sense the Grand Elder's anger and they didn't want to be the ones whom the Grand Elder would vent his frustration on.

The fights in the arena continued and they seemed to be even more heated than before.

Although the outer court disciples didn't know the reason behind those people's visit since they couldn't hear the conversation between the purple-robed old man and the Grand Elder just now, they could sense that this peculiar visit made this Martial Roll of Honor tournament different from the previous ones.

This, along with the increased rewards for the top 1000 made the disciples in the arena fight with even more fervor than before.

However, just as the second battle ended, Bai Liuxian seemed to have lost her interest as she said in a disappointed tone

''Is this the best that your Holy sect has to offer? This level is simply too low.''

The Grand Elder didn't respond, but Sun Wen smiled gently as he looked at Bai Liuxian and said

''Miss Bai, these are only the fights for the top 1000 among the outer court. It's only natural that they won't attract your interest. However, if you wait for a while, you will fight the fights among the top 100 or the top 10 more interesting.''

Bai Liuxian was displeased, but she still nodded her head and agreed, as she decided to watch the tournament until the end since she was already here.

No matter what, she had come here in hopes of finding followers but she knew that her standards were simply too high.

Aside from that person named Yang Hui that her 'uncle Mo' had mentioned, she knew that the chances of finding someone else who could attract her interest were simply too low.

Even that Yang Hui may not be good enough to be accepted by her, let alone the others.

Finally, a little more than an hour later, the fights for the top 1000 were finished as the spots for the top 1000 had all been decided.

Looking at the outer court disciples in the audience seats below him, Sun Wen took a deep breath before he said in a commanding tone

''Those who have entered the top 1000... step on the platform!''
