The break of dawn sees the top of Chonghe Peak shrouded in dense mist.
Qing Yu and his group tread the morning dew as they ascend, halting at the last layer of white clouds.
"You all have come for the stolen 'Heavenly Scroll' and 'Earth Scroll', haven't you?"
Before Qing Yu could speak, a faint voice from the clouds revealed his group's intentions.

"Indeed," Qing Yu replied respectfully. "Xuan Lin entered Tianxuan Pavilion last night, stole the two scrolls of scriptures, and has now fled the Sect. Qing Yu failed in pursuit, and asks for the Sect Leader's forgiveness."
"This was my oversight, leaving the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture' carelessly in Tianxuan Pavilion. This cannot be blamed on Qing Yu,"
