Chapter 250: Settling into Arena
Having spotted their fellow members from The Orchid Covenant, the trio soon decided to drop their Skyrunner closer to the colossal Skyvessel belonging to the organization they were officially members of.
This Skyvessel had a classic appearance. It was just like a typical sailboat but with a much wider body. The deck, by itself, could fit a thousand people, with over a dozen levels to house that many people. In contrast, Li Lang’s Skyrunner looked like an insignificant fly.
The three slowly descended on the deck with their vehicle, not daring to make any abrupt movements until they spotted someone waving them over. The person helpfully directed them somewhere to land and greeted them as they disembarked.
“State your business,” a young man with short hair, looking like he was in his mid-twenties, asked. The aura of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator leaked out from him, as he narrowed his gaze to scrutinize the trio.
“Senior, we’re members of The Orchid Covenant, who have traveled here separately. We would like to go to pay our respects to the elders,” Li Lang explained as he took out the tokens that proved their identity.
“I see, well the Head Councilman has already left to greet the Sword Saint. Many of the councilmen have already entered the venue too, so only Councilman Sheng is on board.”
“Understood. We’d like to go greet Councilman Sheng, then. Where can we find him?”
Having identified themselves, the young guard’s tone relaxed. He no longer harbored any suspicions and gave them directions. With these detailed instructions, it didn’t take long before the trio arrived before one of the many wooden doors below deck. Long Yi stepped up and knocked several times.
“Come in, you three. The door is not locked,” a familiar voice answered.

The crowds of cultivators making their way into the venue of The Dark Sea Arena were neatly organized by the members of Sword Saint Isle. The members of notable organizations were treated like respected guests, each assigned a part of the stands, with their location depending on their faction. However, their members couldn’t enter the venue all at once. Their priority was decided according to their status.
All those who were participating in the event were let through first, alongside their elders and esteemed leaders of their respective groups. They were the easiest to identify, as one could simply assess their cultivation. Each of these elders from prestigious sects or organizations was in the Violet Core Realm at the very least. Some of the major powers even had their Spirit Divide leader attend.
