Because there were too many people at the foot of the mountain, Chen Changming could only find an empty spot at the back of the crowd, sit down cross-legged, and wait in silence.
There was still one day until the Beast Taming Immortal Sect opened its gates to recruit disciples. To avoid being delayed, he had arrived a day early.
