While the ceremony progressed and more disciples were announced and assigned to their respective peaks, an observable pressure began to build in the grand hall.
Jiang Lei could notice the furrowed brows of peak masters and Zhen Yunwei.
Even though they looked calm on the outside when addressing to the disciples, there was an underlying feeling of worry underneath the surface.
Jiang Lei caught them exchanging secret glances, their eyes flickering with worry before they quickly masked it.
Jiang Lei furrowed his brows, puzzled by their behavior. He couldn't understand what could be troubling respected peak masters and sect leader so much during such an important event.
Call it his natural perceptiveness or just a gut instinct, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong in this ceremony.
