"What! We are not going to compete in the Martial Battles?" A disciple said with wide eyes.
"Yes, the sect master has just announced it."
"Why? What happened?"
The disciples gathered in twos and threes to discuss the latest news from the sect master.
"Why did the sect master do this? We've all trained for this." Jin Ru said, unwilling to accept it.
All the core disciples had been working very hard since they knew they were going to the Central Region Imperial Capital for the Assembly Summit.
But now, they were told they wouldn't participate on the grand stage.
How could they accept it?
"I need to speak with my master." She grumbled and left to find her master.
Other disciples also left to find their masters, their anger surging.
Inside the elders' room, all the elders sat, their faces full of confusion.
They looked at the Sect Master, unable to wrap their heads around why he would not allow the disciples to compete.
