The Arena

Moving through the streets, Hui Yue expected the hordes of people to slowly thin out, allowing for easier access. However, the opposite happened. The street heading towards the arena was especially crowded, filled with multiple groups of mercenaries and merchants.

Makeshift stalls placed everywhere were selling all the items which usually could be found at the Mercenary Guild and marketplaces. Since this was near the location where the fighting was to take place, items would be able to sell for a much higher price than usual.

Outside the arena was a large park with four smaller training grounds. These grounds were now used to hold matches between the lower-ranked cultivators. The arena only allowed the high seeded ones to enter.

The arena was not open to the public yet, as the workers were still preparing it for the fights to come. However, Hui Yue did not mind too much, and he strode towards some of the fights which were occurring.
