At the mountain gate of the Demon Sect, Ning Que approached cautiously. He tried to push the great gate open, but to no avail. Just as he was about to retreat and leave...

Suddenly, the thumb ring on Ning Que's finger began to emit a strange red glow. The light grew brighter and brighter, shining upon the gate, which trembled and let out a creaking groan.

"That's the token ring of the Demon Sect's Master. Ning Que, are you a member of the Demon Sect, or its new Master?"

The others had all noticed the change as it happened.
