Zhao Letian cast a distant glance at the current situation and, without saying another word, stowed away his Cloud Piercing Boat ahead of time, descending among the crowd of the Zhao Family as he quietly awaited the start of the martial competition.
"The time has come; let the martial competition begin."
Suddenly, from the camp of the City Lord Mansion, a figure in a purple robe seated on a throne, Shentu Yuanba, spoke in a deep voice.
"Whoosh!"
As his words fell, an elder in grey robes from the City Lord Mansion's camp, a high-level True Martial Realm martial artist, leapt onto the arena.
"Representatives from the four great families competing, along with those of smaller families and loose cultivators, all come forward to the stage. Stand at your respective corners first, and listen to me announce the rules of the competition," the elder declared loudly.
