"Congratulations to you all. The ten of you are now formally Outer Disciples of our Ancient Elysium Sect. And since that's the case, I'll be your Senior Brother from this day onwards..."
Henry's words shocked the remaining participants. Some of them looked cautiously around, trying to assess the situation. But it seems that aside from a few, the rest were also surprised that they were welcomed by the Envoys of the sect.
"Let me explain in order to clear the confusion." Henry spoke, "Out of the remaining forty or so participants, only the ten of you got in. This isn't because there is a limit on how many of you we can receive, it's because only the ten of you remained. Meaning that the others who went in with you before, are all dead."
Now that was another shocker for the remaining participants. But they soon got reminded of what they experienced inside the Devil Emperor's Pagoda and suddenly felt that it all made sense.
