Chapter 820: Becoming a Disciple, Internal Discord in the Pavilion

After Jian Shiqi left the stage with Qin Xiao, he no longer needed to participate in the remaining matches. Qin Xiao, however, still had to compete to see if he might encounter any descendants of old acquaintances.

Yet the subsequent opponents, upon seeing that their drawn adversary was Chu Sheng, simply surrendered on the spot. What was the point of fighting that? It made far more sense to conserve their Immortal Qi for the upcoming Challenge Round.

“Do not bother trying to figure it out. I suspect even the Pavilion Master of Tiancang Pavilion is baffled.”

Such an abnormal turn of events set the entire crowd buzzing with speculation.
