In the martial arts arena that could hold thirty thousand people, the stands and private boxes were closed for the day. On the tournament stage that usually drew so much attention, a massive wooden long table had been set up. From one end of the table, one couldn't even make out the features of the female cultivator seated high in the main seat at the opposite end.
The left side of the long table belonged to the forces of the Five Elements Alliance, while the right side was for the Hehuan Sect and their allies. The Qingyuan Sect and other neutral observers were seated opposite Nangong Meng at the other end of the table, in a position of impartiality.
The front rows here were reserved for the several Golden Core cultivators from Nine Stars Square and other families. These Golden Core Cultivators had already taken their seats, and the Qingyuan Sect was assigned to a corner behind them.
"Juniors Liu Xun and Jiang Tianfang pay our respects to Nangong Ancestor."
