As the four clans were engaged in their dispute, the bystanders discerned the cause of their argument.
The alchemy hall master has invited the five elemental sect ancestors for a meet and now the ancestor of the sect is missing, and the soul jade of the ancestor has broken the day when the heavens changed.
After listening to their argument, the city lord and the deputy informed the sect leader of the incident and received orders to invite them into the hall where they could solve it by talking.
They both went forward and stopped the argument with difficulty and invited them to the meeting hall.
After seeing the heaven sword of the sky sword sect seated in the main seat the crowd entered the room while arguing quieted down and sat in their respective seats.
"The five-elemental sect, now speak what you have to say, how come I heard you are arguing in my sect city and creating chaos without observing the place and time," Heaven Sword asked sharply.
"We are sorry heaven's sword, but our sect ancestor has disappeared after receiving the invitation from the alchemy hall and the blood families to discuss something in private."
"As soon as we saw the culprits we were angry and demanded an explanation." said one of the transcended of the elemental sect.
As the heavenly sword heard their reason, he calmed down his anger and looked at the three suspects for their answer.
The two families and the Alchemy Hall people are all silent upon listening to the accusation of the elemental sect people and hang their heads low without replying to the accusation.
The atmosphere in the room became tense while everyone was waiting for the answer.
Soon the door of the meeting hall opened, and a drunkard entered the room with a heavy wine smell on his body.
He saw all of those present in the room and sat at a seat leisurely and began drinking in sorrow.
Everyone frowned at the arrival of the new member and watched him drink.
As Heaven's sword stood up to greet him, the drunkard silently took a storage ring from his pocket and threw it at the five-elemental sect disciples who had been arguing before.
The heaven sword stopped and looked at his action perplexed by his strange behavior, then saw the look of horror and despair on the faces of the disciples of the five-elemental sect.
"Your sect leader had died and all the items that belong to him and his remains are in the storage ring."
"There also the treasures of these three- fellow clan present in there."
"I received an emergency Sos from your sect leader but by the time I got there, I saw three people attacking your sect master while trapping him in a formation."
"While I was trying to save him, the heavenly punishment rained on the three fellows, and they perished with only ashes left behind, your sect master was heavily injured by the dying people and died after some time." The drunkard explained sadly.
"What I have said is truth and I swear with heavens as my witness" He swore and calmly directed his eyes to the heavenly sword as a sign to take over this matter.
The heavens rumbled in all the present personal ears as a sign of agreeing with his statement as truth.
Everyone dispelled the doubt on him and collectively turned their heads towards the family clans and stared at them.
As the pressure mounted on the family cultivators and the alchemy hall members, they spoke after in fluster.
We do not know the reason for our ancestors attacking the five elemental sect ancestors. As you know, we family cultivators have a main line and many sidelines. Those who have the power become the main line, while the rest follow orders. The competition within the clan for resources is fierce, so we do not know the core details as we were sidelined regarding important matters.
All we know is that the main line received orders from the heaven realm ancestor, instructing us to repel the individual cultivators from the continent. The main line dependents have vanished silently from the family mountain. We are also hearing for the first time that the ancestors have fought with the five-element sect master."
"We swear by heavens; we didn't know any connections or the reason for it." They swore and the heavens once again rumbled in the ears of all present as a sign of agreement.
The alchemy hall also swore and proved their innocence and promised to investigate the truth of the matter.
Then the three suspects left their sight of the heavenly master and fell them on the storage ring of the five elemental sect members.
"Fellow Daoists please return the family treasures families we will be grateful to you," they asked shamelessly.
Everyone's mood soured at their shamelessness and the five-element sect started to gear for war.
The heavenly sword master interjected timely and set few terms for returning the treasure.
1) The three suspected families will help with the resources required for the five elemental mountains to reach the top grade nine level spirit vein.
2)Then they will allocate enough resources to build a cultivator's haven city and exchange them for the treasure they want from the elemental sect.
3) Next they will allow the individual cultivators back into the continent and won't prerequisite them again
4)they have to provide cultivation exercises up to the nascent soul realm and elixir formulas and other basic knowledge and send them to an element city so they will build a place for low-level cultivators to access them in the city.
And any grievance you have we sword sect will not intervene in them after the deal is done.
Promise with your blood or your clan weapon will be destroyed here itself and the raw material extracted will be given to the five-element sect.
Promising by blood means the whole clan will have heart demons if they don't follow the promises, they made which is too cruel.
Everyone thought for a few minutes, and they drew some blood and promised the conditions and the atmosphere returned to peace.
With the promise, the five-element sect disciples separated the treasure from the storage ring and passed it back to the three organizations.
