Chang'an.
Martial Arts Village.
To host the Martial Arts Tournament, the court had transformed a large examination hall into a guild hall, complete with accommodations and dining; all invited sects could stay free of charge.
Tomorrow would be the day of the Martial Arts Tournament, and except for the Sanqing Sect and the Shu Mountain, all invited sects had already arrived in Chang'an.
For many of the sects, this journey had not been smooth sailing.
It wasn't that they encountered mishaps on the road, but problems arose after they reached Chang'an.
The Sect Leader of the Sky Eagle Sect, on his first day in Chang'an, was taken away by the Imperial Guard for spitting on the street, and was only released after officials from the Ministry of Rites pleaded on his behalf.
This incident caused him to be the butt of jokes for several days.
There were also people from the Silver Spear Sect.
