The Lost Token

"This token!!! How are you in possession of this!!!?" the First Grand Elder asked in shock and reverence.

Sect Master Yun sneered in response.

"Does it matter? You know what this represents. You claim to be someone who has a deep attachment to this sect. What are you going to do now? Are you going to follow the sect precepts or are you going to oppose me?"

The First Grand Elder remained silent for a long time without replying to anything. He was obviously conflicted in his heart. He knew what the right thing to do here was. But, the sect precepts were clear. Anyone who had that token must be obeyed unconditionally. 

That token represented the authority of the founder of the Heavenly Demon Sect. That token has been lost for centuries even before he became an elder. It was rumored that this token was lost after the founder of the Heavenly Demon Sect ascended to a higher realm. It has never resurfaced after that.
