The battles in the arena quickly resumed and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed before only the top 3000 strongest outer disciples were left.
The excitement that the disciples in the crowd were feeling was slowly reaching its peak as the battles in the arena became even more intense.
Even some of the more powerful outer court disciples had finally started to take the stage, and soon, everyone understood that even the top 1000 outer disciples would show themselves in the arena as well.
At the same time that the battles in the arena continued, in the depths of the Holy sect, the white-robed head of the inner court Elders, Sun Wen, had a worried look on his face as he waited outside of the Grand Elder's residence.
Although he had informed the Grand Elder through his sect identifying token that he had arrived, an hour had already passed but the Grand Elder had yet to come out and meet him.
