The Sect Elders fell into deep thought. After some contemplation, one of them said, “Wait here while we ruminate things over.”
They turned to leave.
James, meanwhile, remained outside Dragon Island.
In the main hall of a palace on Dragon Island…
A middle-aged man was sitting on the throne. He was about forty years of age and wore a golden robe. Below him were the Sect Elders.
“Patriarch, James has the Ancestral Dragon’s aura inside his body. This is rather uncanny. We should let him stay on Dragon Island while we investigate the matter.”
“This is inappropriate. James is from Mount Heavenly Path. For countless years, Mount Heavenly Path has long wished to occupy Dragon Island and conquer us. I don’t think James came in peace.”
“But what should we do about the dragon bone?”
The Sect Elders argued. Some agreed for James to stay, whereas others disagreed.
The Patriarch sat on the throne and contemplated. After some time, he said, “No matter what James’ objective is, we should let him go through the three challenges of the Dragon Race first. If he overcomes all obstacles, we let him through. Otherwise, we chase him out of the Dragon Realm.”
Since the Patriarch has given the order, the Sect Elders had no choice but to obey.
James waited outside Dragon Island for approximately an hour. An hour later, the Sect Elders appeared, and one of them said, “James, according to the rules of the Dragon Race, you will first have to overcome three challenges.”
“Mhm.” James nodded.
The Sect Elder warned, “You better think twice. With your rank, you won’t be able to overcome the three challenges. If you perish here, we won’t be responsible for your death.”
