Chapter 691 (1/2)

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.

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.
