At this moment, the negotiations between the Jinyu and the Pandaren were coming to an end.
After a heated debate, Elder Jinxiu of the Jinyu, and Lorewalker Cho, the Pandaren representative and a wandering scholar, finally reached an agreement.
The Pandaren agreed to withdraw their troops, Jinyu agreed to release Taran Zhu.
The Jinyu were extremely loyal to Warchief Garrosh, preferring to fight Blood War with the Pandaren rather than betray Garrosh.
Lorewalker Cho did not want to go to war with the Jinyu, since the Orcs army was in Pandaria, and this would only benefit the Orcs.
Seeing the Grand Elder's stubbornness, Lorewalker Cho made appropriate concessions and even allowed Garrosh to leave the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
"Elder, it's probably not a good idea for the Jinyu people to form an alliance with the orcs. Those orcs are ungrateful and might change their minds at any time. It would be better if we formed a secret alliance so we could support each other."
Lorewalker Cho spoke frankly and sincerely, but he didn't expect to be met with contempt from Elder Jinxiu.
"What right do Pandaren have to be compared to Jinyu? You are nothing but food for the Orcs, and you deserve to be eaten." The Grand Elder's arrogant words nearly caused the negotiations to break down.
Lorewalker Cho, who was usually quite composed, was still furious. "Fine, from now on, the Jinyu and the Pandaren will never speak to each other again."
The Grand Elder spoke as if facing a mortal enemy, his voice filled with malice. "You'd better never see him again, staking the dignity of the Jinyu on."
Although the negotiations were successful, the two sides parted on bad terms.
The Pandaren withdrew their troops as agreed, prompting boos from the Jinyu army.
"This is a great victory." Elder Jinxiu beamed with pride, as if a joyous occasion had arrived. "The Pandaren are nothing but a bunch of trash. They have finally submitted to the Jinyu. We have allied with the powerful Orcs, Jinyu will soon become the Overlords of Pandaria. The mere Pandaren are just food for us."
The Jinyu soldiers were moved to tears, cheering and expressing their heartfelt emotion.
Although the Pandaren have become food for the Orcs in recent years, resulting in a sharp decline in their numbers and the loss of a large amount of land, the Jinyu have always been Pain Suppression the Pandaren over tens of thousands of years. After all, the Jinyu have powerful magic and mysterious Flowing Water prophecies, but unfortunately, they can't even handle the Hozen.
During the retreat, Jiyun Ailin said to Lorewalker Cho:
"You've been fooled. Elder Jinxiu has ulterior motives; he's only after his own interests. He's worried we'll interfere with his plans, which is why he's refused to ally with the Pandaren."
Lorewalker Cho was still angry, but these words comforted him a lot. He shrugged and said, "What good would it do to know? Are we going to kill Jinxiu and then tell the Jinyu that your Grand Elder harbors evil intentions and is a bad person? Besides, we Pandaren are just as ignorant."
Speaking of the current state of the Pandaren, Lorewalker Cho sighed with disappointment, "How many Pandaren still think the Orcs are great Saviors, even after being boiled alive by the Orcs, they still don't know how to repent?"
Jiyun Ailin, on the other hand, was more philosophical about it. "This is natural selection. I believe that Orcs will be eliminated and become food for Orcs. It's fair."
As the two were talking, a muffled explosion rang out from the direction of Qionghua Lake, followed by an even louder sound that continued unabated, rumbling like rolling Thunder.
Lorewalker Cho felt a jolt in his heart, and the Chi within his body fluctuated violently, like boiling water. Powerful Sha energy came from all directions, as if he were in the depths of a dark ocean, surrounded by seawater. He felt a heavy sense of oppression, loneliness, and suffocation.
After a long while, Lorewalker Cho finally calmed the internal Chi within his body. For some reason, the strength of his Chi increased even further.
Looking at Jiyun Ailin beside her, although she was also calming her inner Chi, she had a faint smile on her face, as if she had everything under control.
"You know what happened? You didn't, right? This was all part of your plan." Lorewalker Cho questioned angrily.
Jiyun Ailin smiled and nodded, "The explosion must have occurred at the Qionghua Palace; the sound was magical."
"It must be Garrosh, that foolish Jinyu." Lorewalker Cho turned to return to Qionghua Lake.
Jiyun Ailin called out from behind, "Have you forgotten? Elder Jinxiu just said: It's best to never see them again, and she even staked the dignity of the Jinyu."
Lorewalker Cho also had his pride. Besides, the victims were Jinyu, so why were the Pandaren in such a hurry? He stopped and came to Jiyun Ailin:
Tell me, what exactly happened?
Jiyun Ailin looked up at the sky. She didn't know when, but dark clouds had gathered over the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and thick leaden clouds had blocked out the sunlight.
"The Heart of Darkness of Y'Shaarj is about to be born," Jiyun Ailin replied softly.
An explosion was heard from the bottom of the lake, affecting the entire Qionghua Lake and throwing the Jinyu's army into chaos.
"It must be Garrosh, what has he done?"
The elder's expression changed, and he hurriedly led his people into the lake.
Another explosion came from the Qionghua Palace at the bottom of the lake, and the entire Qionghua Palace shook.
At this moment, Taran Zhu and Chen Stormstout were still locked in fierce combat within the seal. Several Sunreavers supported a Magic Shield, with Garrosh's Kor'kron and Thrall's Sunreavers hiding inside. Aethas and his fellow Sunreavers joined forces to bombard the walls of the Qionghua Palace.
After repeated magical bombardments, cracks appeared in the walls of the Qionghua Palace. The powerful water pressure exacerbated the collapse of the walls. Seeing that things were not going well, Taran Zhu and Chen Stormstout stopped fighting and hid inside the protective barrier.
With a deafening roar, the walls shattered, and countless drops of lake water poured in, continuing to tear the walls apart. Before long, the entire Qionghua Palace was in ruins.
However, something even more terrifying happened. When the lake water came into contact with the purple heart at the center of the seal, the purple heart began to tremble and let out a terrible howl, and the seal was completely destroyed.
After the seal was broken, the purple heart was immersed in the lake water. In a short moment, the clear lake water turned blackish-gray, and the dense Sha power filled the lake water, forming a thick column of water that shot directly into the sky.
All the Jinyu in Qionghua Lake were overturned, and countless Jinyu died in an instant.
Not only Qionghua Lake, but Flowing Water in the entire Vale of Eternal Blossoms evaporated, forming terrifying Sha clouds, and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms changed color in an instant.
Qionghua Lake was reduced to a deep pit. The once magnificent Qionghua Palace was reduced to ashes in the face of this terrible disaster. The Grand Elder Jinxiu struggled to her feet. The corpses of the Jinyu were piled up like mountains, and countless Jinyu were buried at the Qionghua Lake.
"Why is this happening? What on earth happened?" the Grand Elder cried out in anguish.
At the bottom of Qionghua Lake, where the Qionghua Palace once stood, the purple heart still beats rhythmically.
Grand Elder Jinxiu saw a glimmer of hope and hurriedly walked towards the purple heart, only to be kicked to the ground. Garrosh, with a ferocious expression, stepped on Jinxiu's head.
"The Heart of Y'Shaarj is mine."
At this moment, the Grand Elder is weakened, and the nine-headed monster, born from Qionghua Lake, is essentially the guardian spirit of Qionghua Lake. It perished along with Qionghua Lake.
"What have you done, Garrosh?" the High Elder asked angrily.
"Don't you understand? Everything I've done is to save Azeroth, and you are the one who destroyed Azeroth."
Garrosh grabbed the High Elder, beaming with pride, and said, "You saved me, so the Jinyu must die. You killed your own people with your own hands."
