The next morning, as the red sun rose from the east, the Tian Shan Sword Sect square was teeming with people.
Above the square, the tents had been dismantled, and a main stage was set up in the center, with ten competition arenas marked out around it.
Eighty contestants, including Ye Fan, stood below the stage, with thousands of cultivators who had come to watch the matches standing around the perimeter. In addition, representatives of sects that couldn't be seated on the stage were sitting in the spectator seats to the left and right below the stage.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
After a moment, streams of air whistled in from the entrance of the Tian Shan Sword Sect. Figures controlled their qi to fly, and landed steadily on the main stage in the center of the square.
