The Tian Shan Sword Sect was the host of this Qing bang competition, and as the host's seeded contestant, he naturally wanted to use this opportunity to mingle with the younger generation.
The reason he hadn't appeared earlier was simply that none of the cultivators who had come to register had caught his Dharma Eye!
In the half-hour that followed, the cultivators who came to register were all very ordinary, with none of their attacks causing the Trial Tablet to light up with seventy symbols, which didn't interest Xiao Selang in the least.
"Who is that person? What an odd outfit!"
Later, just as Xiao Selang was considering whether or not to go back to his Sect to rest for a while, a loud exclamation suddenly rang out from among the crowd in the square.
