"Lu Hong, brother, this is as far as I escort you," the City Lord of Qing Xiao said as they parted three thousand li outside the city, arriving at the boundary of Qing Xiao City's influence. "Participants from all cities of the Empire will gather in the Imperial Capital and travel together with the king to the Sunfire Coliseum in the center of Ambra. Kado will take care of everything for you on this journey, you just need to make an appearance at the banquet before the martial assembly. If you do not wish to attend any other social obligations, he will help you decline them, so you needn't worry about threats or oppression from other courtiers."
"Thank you for your kindness, City Lord; I understand," Lu Hong said.
After bidding farewell to the City Lord, Kado drove the carriage, leading a squad of soldiers onto the main road to the Imperial Capital of the Sacred Empire.
