Almost as soon as they set a foot in the Fairyland, a few Seelie rush to WonPil, surrounding the group. Even though the war between the Courts stopped, the Queen is particularly sensitive about her son being close to Unseelie, fearing they will try to either kidnap or hurt WonPil.

The Fairies, all guards, don't give them the time to discuss or to object, they quickly escort WonPil and Kevin through the paths that lead to the Seelie Court, all the way to where WonPil lives.

After leaving the gambling house, he follows RuYin to his same inn and room, thinking it will be safe enough to speak there.
Unaware that Sasori actually followed and is spying on them, he finally explains RuYin the details of the mission: send away, or kill, the Nimox who are staying in Qiu manor.
WonPil guarantees that they are evil for sure and that reclaiming that village is actually a good thing, in case RuYin needed to know this detail.

It's not that he thinks they are doing something against Shiinden or that they wouldn't approve, the only reason he didn't involve them is that he knew they wouldn't let him do. Because he is not so well, yet, but he wanted to do something nonetheless. He feels restless and needs to do something, he can't help the way he feels about himself and what happened, regardless what other people tell him.
He is also a bit uncomfortable about Shiinden and its people, even a bit scared.

Anyhow, WonPil tells RuYin all he discovered about that place: the number of Nimox guarding the outside, the safe spots and the fact they seem to be mostly asleep during daytime.
He is quite in a hurry to go, since he fears that Sasori recognized him and is going to warn WuXin or even if not, someone probably already told him that he left Cloud Recesses. He doesn't want to risk to be dragged away again.

They organise the attack for the early morning and WonPil takes them there riding on his fairy steed. He surely won't start to use magic right now.
They reach the village after about an hour of flight and thus time WonPil makes sure to land close to the manor.

He participates in the fight too, but doesn't do much, also since Sasori eventually joins them too. He only helps if it's needed, mostly using his tarots with their shielding skill.

Strangely enough, although the Nimox were all still there, no track of YanSu nor of what could have been of TiHao's powers.

After the siege at the Stronghold of Terror seems to have been repelled, the whole place falls to silence and quietness. Naturally, who'd ever want to set a foot out of the walls, before having the absolute certainty that the enemy left to never return? Not a soul, but not everyone has the luxury to choose by themselves.

Someone has to deliver a message to the Obsidian Vaults, to make sure the enemy won't manage to track it down if using magical means. Someone nobody would be sorry for, should he not come back. Actually, somebody everyone would prefer if he didn't return at all.

The person in question is quite known among the Zhi and Hai but not because of skills or deeds, just because of his origins. The son of a prostitute. An half Imperial, bastard son of a prostitute. If there could be anything lower, to the eyes of some sect people, it has yet to be discovered.
Unwillingly and obviously scared to death, the young man had no choice but to leave the Stronghold of Terror to head, alone, to the Obsidian Vaults. Luckily, he is quite knowledgeable of the area and manages to reach his destination without... unpleasant meetings on his way.

The rest is pretty much the usual. He delivers the message, as ordered, but instead of being thanked or praised for his bravery to get there in such a dangerous moment, he is insulted, mocked, hit, treated worse than if he had been their enemy.
Despite there is a very harsh storm outside, the Zhi don't offer shelter to him or to wait till at least the rain will slow down, they literally throw him out of the Obsidian Vaults and to spice it up, they unleash some of their dogs to chase after him, no reason, just to have a good laugh looking at him running away in panic and slipping in the mud with the dogs biting him around.

...

WuXin and the others reach the Sect and start making their preparations for an effective defence in case of attack.
Other Sects are starting to join forces with them. Overall WuXin is satisfied and reassured. He uses the portable telescope to talk with the other sides and ask informations how things are going. He is glad to hear they both succeeded but finds what they found in the Zhi camp quite suspicious. He doesn't want to lower his guard.

The entire ShuiYang is underwater with a magical entrance above the water. They are under the sea, but of course water doesn't get in as they can't actually breathe underwater, at least most of them. The landscape around is beautiful while the buildings are typical eastern. Instead of sky in the courtyard they can see water and fishes.
WuXin is walking outside his rooom, admiring sea nature.
