"Who knows if those cultivators pretending to be spectators could be bribed to secretly interfere?"
"Exactly, this is the safest method."
"Hmph, I wonder if that person has been bought off?"
"Stop overthinking it. Daoist friends from the Dao Comprehension realm and above, let's move on."

The area was located far away from the Immortal Martial Grand Assembly venue, making it impossible for anyone to secretly help.
The cultivators left in the circular audience seats, with the strongest only at the Inquiring Journey realm, were separated from the competition stage by a barrier. They couldn't possibly help the participants cheat.
Soon, everything was set.
