Arena No. 39.
Today, this was arguably the place with the largest gathering of disciples among all the arenas.
Most of them were Azure Lightning Peak disciples who had come to support Qu Tong.
The rest, aside from ordinary sect disciples, were the people from Green Mulberry Garden.
Fang Du, Zong Ya, Shi Ping, Chang Qing, Han Yun, Han Fu, and Wu Yu were all present.
