Shaolin and Wudang, along with Kongtong, Emei, and other great sects' prideful elites, all looked on together.
Just as Yan Anshun was unbearably anxious, the eldest among the four true disciples, Fei, approached with a smile:
"Junior Brother Xuan Chengzi, the sword you lost in Yancheng, it's all within the Heavenly Mountain Sword Tomb."
"Our master set a rule: anyone who has been defeated here and wishes to retrieve their sword must brave the Sword Tomb."
"For the younger generation of disciples from all sects, they must first get past the Mountain Guardian, then defeat the Hengshan disciples of their generation."
Fei's demeanor then turned stern:
"However..."
"This place is a sacred site of our sect, where blades must not recklessly be drawn. Today, if you lose your sword here, Junior Brother Xuan Chengzi, you too must leave your sword in the Sword Tomb."
Xuan Chengzi simply nodded his head, clearly understanding the rule.
