Naelia led John and Zuri through the massive arena, which took some time to navigate. The halls were filled with countless people, making it quite hard to move at times. After pushing their way through countless hallways and rooms, the group arrived on the lowest floor of the arena.
After walking down some steps which were guarded by Yang-Dao Sect cultivators, permitting entry only to tournament participants and those near them, they arrived in a rather empty hallway, at least compared to the ones they had come from.
John breathed a sigh of relief, thankful to be removed from the stuffy and boisterous halls above, and followed Naelia as she expertly moved towards the first trial starting point. They arrived half an hour later, moving quite quickly through the hall to ensure they were not late.
