"The elders are no longer being controlled!"

They soon exited the hall and approached the Elders. 

"Fei Xian? What happened here? What do you mean poisoned?" one of the elders asked.

"Elder Dai, I'm so glad that you are safe!"

"What do you mean? The tower has been broken into! The sect is a mess. What exactly happened here?"

"Indeed, tell us! What exactly happened here? Where is Elder Jia? He spoke of taking you all to a secret realm of some sort, no?"

The other elders were equally confused and concerned. Everywhere they looked, there were traces of battle, they needed answers.

"Wait, stop. We must fix this up and it seems that we have some visitors as well."
