The wanjian sword master, who is also known as the elder jian and chi xiao, tells the others that the trial is about to begin. He tells them that if they can pass the trial, they will become the disciples of his sect. The two jian swordsmen whisper to each other that the two chang chi xi and jin qiumo are also present. The head of the jin family, who also happens to be the master of the sword master's clan, says that he has come to warn the other two that they are trying to intimidate them. He also says that there are many jin and chang followers in the area, and that the top ten people in the trial will be able to gain entrance to the xi-jian lake. He says that the chang and qiumo have made a plan to let the ming yang gang threaten everyone, so that their followers can easily infiltrate the trial. He adds that both of them have been standing with the wan-jian sect for so long that they have won the respect of the sect masters. The trial will begin.
