"What happened here? Where are the guests? Did they leave already?" Elder Xuan showed up at the scene a few minutes after the other Sect Masters left.
"Oh, Elder Xuan. You've missed it. The Dragon Essence Temple is about to be rich!" Bai Ling said to Elder Xuan with a broad smile on his face.
"Rich? How so?" Elder Xuan sat down before looking at Bai Ling with raised eyebrows.
"Well… This is what happened while you were away."
Bai Ling proceeded to explain to Elder Xuan what had transpired not long ago, about how the other Sect Masters have decided to send three disciples from each sect to challenge the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower, and if none of the disciples can clear 100 floors, they will each forfeit a Divine-grade treasure.
However, if a single disciple from any of the participating sects manages to clear 100 floors in the tower, the Dragon Essence Temple will forfeit the Dragon Slaying Saber.
