Chapter 1689: “Arena (1)”


    The disciples of the Pure Grace Pce brought the other Twelve Pces’ youths to admire flowers and see the sights, whereas the other guests not from the Twelve Pces could do nothing but obediently remain in their rooms, nor daring to roam.


    But going around just to see mountains andkes, admiring flowers and greens was a tad bit too boring to the youths from the Twelve Pces. It was only a while into the trip when someone was already bemoaning they were tired and wants to go back.


    The Pure Grace Pce disciples then immediately ryed the news over to the Pure Grace Pce’s Elders.


    And this was not something that the Pure Grace Pce’s Elders were happy to hear.


    “There’s still quite a number of days‘ time and leaving such a big group of people within our Pure Grace Pce will be rather dangerous as there could very well be spies among them sent out by the other pces.” An Elder said, his face grim.


    Everyone thought that as their Pce Lord was celebrating his birthday, have guestse bring well wishes was something to be happy about. But in truth, the Pure Grace Pce did not feel the slightest bit of joy. The gifts brought in by people, no matter how good, was not anything rare enough to be cherished with the kind of might the Pure Grace Pce possessed. It was the youthse from the other pces bearing those gifts that the Pure Grace Pce was most worried about, being deeply afraid that there would be some mixed in amongst the youths who harboured ulterior motives.


    Things among the Twelve Pces had been rather tensetely and no one dared to reveal their trump card to any of the other pces. But holding a banquet for their Pce Lord’s birthday was not any ordinary event they could avoid as celebrating the Pce Lords’ birthdays was a rule stringently adhered to by the Twelve Pces, hence, the Pure Grace Pce had naturally been unable to refuse, but to open their doors wide, and allow in this bunch of people with unfriendly intentions.


    Letting them inside the Pure Grace Pce had already been their limit and if they did not exercise some form of control but allowed all of them to roam as they wished in the Pure Grace Pce, that would really be too dangerous.


    “Last night, after the banquet ended, regarding those suspicious shadowy figures spotted, has it been ascertained from which pce those people were from?” The Pure Grace Pce’s Elder asked worriedly. After the banquet endedst night, everyone should have all returned back to their rooms. But the Pure Grace Pce’s patrol had discovered some who secretly stayed behind, and unfortunately, they did not manage to capture the person.


    It was just the second day and someone among one of the other Twelve Pces was already seeking to make a move. If things continued on like this, what should they do about it?


    “Not yet.” A Pure Grace Pce disciple replied.


    The Elder’s face immediately darkened as he berated: “Useless fools!”


    “Elder, how should we deal with the matter? The guests are all getting rather impatient.” The disciple asked mournfully.


    The Elder creased up his brows. “Since they are getting bored, then set up an arena to let them give vent to all their pent up energy and it would also divert all their attention to it. Afterall, aren’t all those old fes sitting in their pces seeking to show off just how strong the new talents their pces had acquired are? We’ll then give them that very opportunity they seek. Go tell the bunch of them that the final winner still standing will receive a prize prepared for them by the Pure Grace Pce.”


    “Elder..... Will they really be willing to step into the arena?” The disciple was a little doubtful. Something the Pure Grace Pce could afford to give up as a prize would surely be something inconsequential and the other pces would surely simrly have it. Using that tiny bit as a lure, how could it possibly convince those youths to step forth?


    The Elder then said sneeringly: “What do you know? That’s just an excuse to start the ball rolling. These people who are here, are not only seeking to probe into the real situation in our Pure Grace Pce. They would also be keen to be able to properly gauge the other pces as well. Presented with such a golden opportunity to do that, even if we do not offer any prize, they would definitely still step forward.”


    Which among the Twelve Pces would be willing to be deemed as the bottom ranked one? Which one among them was not fighting with all their might to climb up the ranks?


    With this banquet the Pure Grace Pce was holding this time, just by looking at the candidates the various pces had picked to send here, it was obvious to see that the pces were all seeking to show off.


    Regrettably, the Pure Grace Pce did not have a single talented disciple among the younger generation, which infuriated them so much they almost vomited blood.
