Those Who Uphold a Just Cause Receive Plentiful Support
Taran Zhu learned from Vol'jin that the Magic Circle was provided by the mysterious Harbinger Wrathion, and she had no more doubts.
As the saying goes, foreign Monks can chant scriptures.
Moreover, Vol'jin is Thrall's most trusted and closest confidant. Vol'jin's arrival at the Shado-Pan Monastery is tantamount to a pledge of allegiance. If anything goes wrong, Vol'jin will surely die.
But Taran Zhu was unaware that before entering the Shado-Pan Monastery, Vol'jin had ambushed a Pandaren caravan and sacrificed fifty Pandaren.
After Taran Zhu with his most trusted Master Snowdrift, Zhu Vol'jin, brimming with confidence, arrived at Sha of Madness's residence. There, he found Sha of Madness standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, quietly gazing at the night.
Upon seeing Taran Zhu enter, Sha of Madness chuckled and said, "I observed the celestial phenomena last night; tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful."
Taran Zhu inwardly cried out in alarm; did Sha of Madness already know?
The entire courtyard was within the control range of the formation, Taran Zhu almost activated Magic Circle.
At that very moment, Master Ye Wen successfully attained enlightenment, taking a single step that caused the earth to rumble and the world to tremble.
After taking this step, Master Ye Wen Mosquito was no longer an ordinary Pandaren. His body was enveloped in the darkest blackness, and he flew into the air like a rocket.
The entire Kun-Lai Summit changed color; the stars and moon lost their light, and the colorful world briefly turned into black and white.
Taran Zhu was terrified; her body and mind trembled violently, and her legs went weak. She quickly grabbed the wall to avoid falling.
"My God, what is that?" Taran Zhu asked.
Although Taran Zhu is the head of Shado-Pan Monastery, his knowledge and experience are far inferior to Sha of Madness, who has lived for countless years. He often consults Kuang Zhi Sha when encountering problems, and over the years, Taran Zhu has become accustomed to relying on Sha of Madness.
The Mad Sha calmly said, "He is the Ye Wen Master you executed, also known as the Sha of Anger."
Lorewalker Cho was quietly approaching the courtyard of the Sha of Madness, was also shocked at the same time and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Countless gray-white auras rose from the land of Kun-Lai Summit; they were the countless souls of the Pandaren, howling pitifully as they flew into the sky, forming a constantly spinning Maelstrom.
The dark souls of the Pandaren covered the sky, like a cracked piece of porcelain. Master Ye Wen was at the very center of the vortex, and the souls of the Pandaren unconsciously gathered together, forming a mountain-like monster.
The monster's body was twisted, only black, white, and gray in color, with terrifying spikes and claws, and its Thunder roar echoed throughout Kun-Lai Summit.
"Anger, flowing like a torrent."
Gazing at the terrifying monster, Taran Zhu's face turned deathly pale. She said remorsefully, "I really misjudged it. Who would have thought that the Sweeping Monk Ye Wen was actually the Sha of Anger?"
Sha of Madness shook his head and said seriously, "You're not mistaken. The Sweeper Monk Ye Wen is both Sha of Anger and not Sha of Anger."
Taran Zhu looked completely bewildered, Sha of Madness explained calmly:
"What do you think Sha is? An extraordinary life form? You're wrong. The seed of Sha is buried in the heart of every living being in Pandaria. The Pandaren have been eaten by too many Orcs, and their anger has solidified. By chance, the seed of Sha of Anger in the heart of the Sweeper Monk Ye Wen took root and sprouted, rapidly growing into Sha of Anger."
Taran Zhu was still somewhat confused and asked, puzzled, "So, the Sha of Anger appeared in this world using the body of the Ye Wen?"
Sha of Madness sighed softly and shook his head, saying:
"You still don't understand. The Dao Follows Nature, and Unity of Heaven and Humanity. The truth has already been told to you: all beings in Pandaria are Sha, and there is no distinction between them."
Taran Zhu scratched his head and muttered to himself, "I thought Pandaren were happy to be eaten by Orcs. Shouldn't they be grateful?"
The Sha of Madness roared, "Nonsense! Your parents, wife, and children were eaten by Orcs, would you be happy? It's only because the Peace Dove, supported by the August Celestials, is too powerful that the cowardly Pandaren have to pretend to be happy."
Taran Zhu complained in a barely audible voice, "Damn it, the Peace Dove is doing a terrible job. They're supposed to be a sect, yet they haven't managed to bring genuine joy to the Pandaren."
The Sha of Madness gazed at the towering Sha of Anger in the distance and said:
"Taran Zhu, your chance has come. You only need to apologize to Master Ye Wen, and he will help you protect the Pandaren, drive out the Evil and savage Orcs, and restore peace to Pandaria. You will then become a great hero who resists the Orcs invasion and be revered by the Pandaren."
Taran Zhu's face showed struggle. After thinking for a long time, she shook her head and said:
"The August Celestials won't agree. The Dove of Peace Dove is too powerful; it won't work. Even the Sha of Anger can't fight against the Alliance and the Horde. I've heard that even the Lich King Arthas failed."
"Unfortunately," said the Sha of Madness with a heavy heart. "Cowardice is the greatest enemy of the Pandaren."
Taran Zhu narrowed her eyes slightly:
"Perhaps I can take a more prudent approach. As the saying goes, those who act justly will find many supporters. I choose to stand on the side of Justice."
Taran Zhu secretly activated the Magic Circle in the courtyard.
A gust of cold wind swept through, and four enormous dragon phantoms appeared in the four corners of the courtyard. They opened their mouths and spewed out dark Dragon's Breath, which intertwined to form a huge net of souls.
The Soul Web bound the Sha of Madness like a fly caught in a spider's web. Taran Zhu laughed loudly, "Sha of Madness, do you know why Pandaria belongs to the Pandaren, and not to you Sha? Because your hearts are too simple."
"I'm afraid you're the one who's naive, Taran Zhu."
Sha of Madness said calmly, completely unconcerned about the constraints of the Soul Web:
"Red Dragon, Blue Dragonflight, Green Dragonflight, Bronze Dragonflight, it turns out to be the Five-Dragon Sealing Array, Dragonkin once used to seal the Scarab Wall. Unfortunately, it lacked the most important Black Dragon Soul. Taran Zhu, I have already told you what the Sha is, why are you still so stubbornly deluded?"
Taran Zhu was shocked. She had thought that the Harbinger Wrathion, was not using the formation of this world, but she did not expect it to be the Five-Dragon Sealing Array of the Dragonkin.
If this formation can seal the Sha, how could the August Celestials be Sha against it?
Sha of Madness reached out and easily grabbed the four Dragon Souls, rendering them immobile. After carefully examining the Dragon Souls, Sha of Madness laughed and said, "Taran Zhu, someone sent four Dragon Souls to Shado-Pan Monastery. Judging from your reaction, you were completely unaware."
"Xue Liu, damn it, it must be him," Taran Zhu said resentfully.
There's no need to pursue this further.
Sha of Madness said nonchalantly:
"Nazgrim's Kor'kron Legion is on its way. You clearly don't have the courage to resist, so I'll give you courage, the last vestige of the Pandaren's faith."
The power of the Sha of Madness erupted, engulfing the entire Shado-Pan Monastery.
Bloodlust, ferocity, and slaughter surged into Taran Zhu's heart. His body was shrouded in an ominous black aura, and he let out a ferocious laugh.
The Shado-Pan disciples were all affected. They first roared like madmen, but after gradually calming down, each of them was filled with a bloodlust.
Lorewalker Cho arrived at the courtyard of Sha of Madness. Sha of Madness's aura was weak, and he said feebly:
"Shado-Pan Monastery is now in your hands. Lead them to resist the Orcs invasion. I'm tired and need to rest."
Sha of Madness took out the sect leader's seal, which was wrapped in a dark gray aura, and handed it to Lorewalker Cho.
"Remember, beware of the August Celestials."
