Shen Wei never wanted to be an Emperor, but on the anniversary of the peace deal he discovers that Kunlun might be alive.

Fear has a way of propelling reactions. Sometimes this is the only way to survival. Sometimes it leads to death.
"Running will trigger it." Zhao Yunlan said flatly at the suggestion, offered by more than one panicking person. This was also said in a tone that implied, You came here, without thinking this through, don't start crying now.
Since Shen Wei was the Emperor who controlled this land and these were technically people somewhere on a scale between guest and invader, he decided to deal with the situation before it derailed any further.

"Yes." Kunlun looked determinedly at Shen Wei. "The energy running through the array was put into use at a time when dark energy immortals were in conflict with everyone else. It will rebound against the structure."
"Will that be safe, if you and Jie Ming are inside the array?"
Kunlun considered this and Shen Wei waited. Because he was poised right in front of Kunlun and exuded supreme authority, no one else dared to interrupt. 'To take apart the core structure, we have to disconnect the power lines." He mused and Jie Ming helpfully nodded his assent. "However,"
"However?" Shen Wei asked, his tone gentle and undeniable.
"The last time we did this," Kunlun indicated Jie Ming and himself with a wave, "We made a loop array too late in the process."
"Would a power relay in the form of a flower array help shifu?" Jie Xiefu asked in that pleasantly soft, deep voice from behind Kunlun. "It might feed the rebounding power into the conduit channels?"
Again he considered. "Actually that might be the best thing for the job." Kunlun grinned at his former student. "Clever." He praised and Jie Xiefu bowed.
