Zhou Chuan bore a mountain of grave charges: he had killed a Nascent Soul elder and a Heaven Rank disciple, destroyed Tian'an City and the Biluo Huangquan Mountain Range, and caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people and beasts. The sect was not letting the matter go unpunished; rather, they were giving him a chance to prove why he should not be killed.
Wang Dachuhad told him that only by winning first place on the Heaven Rank and representing the sect in the Three Sects Lesser Tournament could he survive this tribulation.
First place alone was not enough; he also had to prove he had the strength to lead the sect to victory in the Three Sects Lesser Tournament and bring back satisfactory resources and treasures from the Ancient Ruins. Only then could his meritorious service offset his offenses.
