While Bai Yang was planning how to deal with his enemies, they weren't sitting around waiting to die, either.
At the Green Leaf Legion, its commander, Liu Ruyan, had gathered the legion's core members to discuss a countermeasure. The mood was heavy.
"Commander, the Burning Legion has taken over some of the businesses Blood Wolf and the others used to control. It's already gaining a foothold. Once they've absorbed those businesses, they'll surely turn on us. Bai Yang is remarkably powerful—we need to come up with a plan."

"Hmph! Our Green Leaf Legion has been rooted in Iron Blood City for hundreds of Yuan. How could we be afraid of the Burning Legion, which came out of nowhere? You're just making others look strong..."
Everyone talked over one another, voicing all sorts of opinions. Liu Ruyan was growing increasingly agitated.
