Inside the Forbidden Land, deathly silence fell over everything.
Twenty-four Dao Sages stood rooted to the spot, their minds reeling. Li Yun's imperious command still rang in their ears: "Seize them all!"
Every one of those Dao Sage elders was stunned.
Arrest four Dao Sages of the Setting Sun Divine Palace!
This was no minor punishment meant to serve as a warning.
This was a slap square across the face of the Setting Sun Divine Palace in the Western Wastes.
One wrong move, and the two sides would go to war—perhaps a war to the death.
In the past, if anyone had said such a thing, the twenty-four Dao Sages would have rejected it at once. It was too aggressive, too reckless, with no way to bring matters to a close.
But the man who had said it was Li Yun.

At worst, they would go to war with the Setting Sun Divine Palace.
Whatever happened, they could not let Li Yun think they were weak.
