69 The Preliminary Round of the Competition

Shen Ying's group arrived at the competition venue just in time. When they entered, the cultivators from the different sects had already congregated there. At a glance it could be seen that there were perhaps about a thousand people there.

Whether by coincidence or not, they did not know, but the disciples of the Venation Sect had arrived one step ahead of them. It just so happened that the cultivators in this sect were also all female. There being fewer female cultivators compared to male cultivators participating in this competition, the addition of nine more from the Invincible Sect to this small pool caused the sudden influx of female cultivators to be particularly conspicuous.

They had initially not been bothered by the attention they attracted until the chattering among the crowd grew louder and louder, and an increasing number of eyes were focused on the nine girls accompanied by more and more pointing fingers.
