Wandering along Burlap Trail, the Sha of Anger controlling the Yaungol seemed to sense something as well. It decisively gave up wandering outside and returned to Shado-Pan Monastery, which it had escaped from with great difficulty, to join its other two brothers, the Sha of Violence and the Sha of Fear.
After losing the Sha of Anger's control, the Yaungol, who had been consumed by rage and left with only the urge to kill and plunder, regained their senses. Without the boost of anger, they no longer dared confront the Horde army and began to hide.
The Dragonhorn Legion seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack from the Yaungol front, clearing Zouchin Village and Kota Basecamp along the way before arriving at Winter's Blossom, the Shado-Pan position behind Ox Gate, the Serpent's Spine fortress in Kun-Lai Summit.
Winter's Blossom was a transit outpost responsible for connecting Ox Gate and Shado-Pan Monastery, as well as the logistical base for the Shado-Pan garrison at Ox Gate.
However, when the Yaungol launched their surprise attack on Ox Gate, the Shado-Pan garrison was outnumbered by dozens of times. Despite fighting desperately against the sudden assault, they were ultimately defeated when no reinforcements arrived.
The defeated Shado-Pan defenders of Ox Gate had no choice but to retreat to Winter's Blossom. They no longer had the strength to stop the Yaungol from invading Kun-Lai Summit, yet the messengers they had sent to Shado-Pan Monastery for aid had received no response.
Many Shado-Pan members at Winter's Blossom even began to question why Taran Zhu, the leader of the Shado-Pan, had sealed the gates of Shado-Pan Monastery shut. However, they still had no answer.
Mai Long, the Shado-Pan commander who had arrived alongside Rend, joined the Pandaren forces from the Temple of the White Tiger and Eastwind Rest
