There were 16 candidates vying for the sect leader's position in the Dafang Sect. Among them, there were five people from the Jiang Clan, the only clan which had filled up the vacancies completely. The rest of them included four from the Zhou Clan, three from the Yuan Clan, three from the Chen Clan, and one from the Wang Clan.
The location for the Sect Leader Preliminary was known as Dafang Grotto. It was a secret cave accidentally discovered by the founders of the Dafang Sect, and it had some fortuitous encounters in it. After that, Dafang Grotto had become the Dafang Sect's forbidden land, and outsiders could not trespass.
