"Her Majesty, have all the participants arrived?" A tall burly man clad in the armor of the Tianyu Empire said to Eris respectfully.
This robust man, with his cultivation at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, was the Empire Army's chief commander. He was personally chosen by Eris to lead this expedition.
Eris gazed forward, her eyes sweeping through the young cultivators.
Before her stood fourteen young men and women, each adorned in distinct robes representing the major powers within the Empire.
Each of the four great families was allowed to send only two cultivators, making a total of eight cultivators, all at the Nascent Soul stage.
There was the Third Prince, standing beside Second Prince Lin Xuandu, who had an arrogant smile. Beside him was a mysterious man in dark robes, his face hidden under a dark hood.
Among them were Iris and Lucian, standing close together.
