In the courtyard of the meeting…
Four meeting tables were aligned in four directions to face each other while leaving space in the middle, so every force could easily access their seats.
The north side was of the Federation, which was the table of the nine Graybeards and the senior members, in order of importance. When one carefully observed them, one would find that Yi Xuanyuan, who was the Twenty-Seventh, was among the experts from the Federation as well. The institution already knew that Yi Xuanyuan had joined the Federation and did not raise any objections.
In contrast to the other forces, especially the experts from the Azure Dragon Continent, who knew this former Champion very well. Even though no sound was made, from their eyes, it was conceivable that everyone was making some assumption, only that no one dared say it out loud.
On the east side was a group of experts from the Institute and the Divine Bird Sect.
