Chapter 279: Competition

At this moment, the leaders of the various sects stood to the left and right of Zhao Zhongtian, taking their seats with their followers. Following a slight nod from Zhao Zhongtian, a figure beside him holding a white float then conveyed the command below, and the Soaring Dragon Conference commenced.

The ceremonial proceedings of the Great Flame Dynasty's Royal Family were grand indeed. Merely to transmit an order from Emperor Zhao Zhongtian required nine steps, with nine envoys conveying the message in turn.

Subsequently, the sound of cauldrons boiling and drums echoing together filled the air, as red fireworks burst forth across the sky.

Following the start of the opening sounds, beautiful maids, carrying fine wine and delicacies for the martial artists to enjoy, came to the square and placed them before the leaders, elders, and some disciples of the various sects.

On the arena in the square, the competitions between the different sects officially began.
