Chapter 1 - Xuen

"Look at what you did."
"It was you... who killed him."
“This place will not be possible for recovery.”
...
The main entrance of the Baihu Temple Hall is located in the south. This is an open area with air ventilated on all sides, no seats, and only four stone pillars supporting the entire building. The only thing that can be called decoration is all kinds of strange carvings and murals.
The lighting of the hall comes from bright lamps hanging from the ceiling, and the moonlight that scatters in from the open door.
There is a high platform on the innermost floor opposite the gate, which is where the owner of this temple stands when watching the monks train.
A figure appeared in front of the main entrance of the hall, blocking the light shining in outside the door.
The man was wearing black leather armor, a big hat and red cloth covering his mouth and nose concealed his face. He walked stiffly to the center of the hall, bowed to the high platform, then knelt on the cold ground, lowered his head, closed his eyes and meditated, sweeping away the terrible memories that were lingering in his mind.
He is the only one at this moment, and the surroundings are so quiet that you can hear the sound of dripping water.
Water drips through the stone, this is a truth he learned on this continent. The sound is like flowing time, revealing wisdom bit by bit.
Not long after, a whirlwind blew in. The wind made him feel his left arm empty and also obscured the sounds he heard in his ears.
Nathanos raised his head, and a spirit beast with a slight white light appeared in front of him. "I'm about to set off for the Mantis Plateau, but you want to see me."
“We need to talk.”
"I think so, Tiger God."
Compared with the strong voice of Baihuxue's angry voice, the voice of the Withered is really hoarse and harsh.
"The fog has dissipated, and there seem to be new visitors on the Emerald Forest. Ta Lan has already gone to check the situation." Xue Fu's body was originally several times taller than the Withered One, not to mention that he is still standing upright now.
"My leader took away many shadow guards. I can be sure that those visitors brought war."
Xueqi narrowed his eyes slightly and admitted that he was right. "They seem to have made a lot of noise than you."
"Of course, I came to find an opportunity, Master Xuefu. And those people, they accidentally broke into the foggy world, with hatred."
"It's not just hatred, but the Emerald Forest is already in chaos. News came from Talan, and the evil demon appeared again, stronger than before."
Nathanos raised his head and looked at Xueqi's angry eyes. He was not sure what the "past" in the god's mouth meant.
"Are they... your friends?"
This question made the Withered laugh, and when he thought of the Alliance and the Tribe, he would recall the Gate of Heaven's Reprimand.
"At least half of them regard me as their enemy. I have mentioned to you more than once that the outside world is not beautiful. Everything that is happening now... is predictable."
The god's head raised and looked outside the hall. As Pandalia's oldest and powerful creature, there were some things that he could not stop. "In this way, Pandalia will have no peace anymore. Even... even the panda people may be involved in disputes."
"Maybe this is also an opportunity. Those who come to Pandaria can also become powerful helpers to help the Panda people fight against the ancient demon clan, the mantids, and the evil demons."
"So what will they ask for from the kind people?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence. Nathanos didn't know how to respond to Snow Rage. The god lowered his head again, eager to know the answer to the question.
"Tell me, Nathanos. What do they want? I have to understand."
"Maybe...it will be everything here," said the Dead. "Mines, wood, land, population, are all what they want. And most importantly, they want the victory of the war."
The god roared? It sounded like a muffled thunder in the clouds, demonstrating the power of his control. The reason why Nathanos felt a little awe at him was the control of Xuewu's powerful power. The god was not affected by emotions, and no one could judge whether they were happy or angry through their eyes and movements.
"Since you, they and the robbers are undoubtedly. Didn't you say that the alliance and the tribe have united together to fight against many evils?"
"It is true? But they will join forces only if their survival is threatened. If the threat is eliminated? Will cooperation be terminated? Each other will immediately become thorns in each other's side."
"I understand? A guest fighting for his own interests." Xue's angry voice sounded like a laugh. It took him a long time to notice that he was looking at him.
"What about your people? Forgotten people, will they come to you?"
"I promise you? Once the fog spreads, my people will definitely come to me. But I believe they will not take anything from the Pandas."
"But they will obey your orders," said Xue angrily. "You have always been a mystery for your purpose in Pandaria? The Withering One."
"I am the Forgotten One, Master Xuefu. I have sworn in the Emerald Forest? I will never cause any harm to this land again. This is also the reason why I came to Baihu Temple to practice."
Maybe it was just waiting for him to say this? Another whirlwind? Brushing past his face? Nathanos's eyes were slightly closed unconsciously. The white tiger snow had already left, and the wind left his last echo: "Then let's wait and see. See if you can control yourself."
...
"General, we have been wandering around for several more days."
Sylvanas held the telescope and stared at the newly discovered continent intently. She heard the complaints of the soldiers under her, and could hear them clearly.
"To be precise, it's four days and five hours." General Ranger took back his wait-and-see props and replied.
"Our resources are already insufficient, General. He needs to go ashore to replenish supplies immediately."
"Not yet. I can still smell the smoke of gunpowder." Sylvanas glanced at the confused expression on her face as she walked past the soldier. A few days ago, they discovered the legendary Pandalia, but unfortunately, they happened to encounter the naval battle between the alliance and the tribe.
The Silver Covenant belongs to the Alliance and deserves the responsibility to support it, but Sylvanas did not do that. She ordered to stay away from the battlefield and move around the coastline of Pandalia.
This order made her ship lose several excellent landing sites. It also attracted many doubts from covenant soldiers. Sylvanas was thinking of an excuse to send them away.
