Injury Records of Mandate DisciplesMeng Jian Left arm struck by an axe blade, with severe bone fractures and persistent bleeding. Nie Chang'an Vacant expression and confused speech, likely caused by extreme fright. Guang Qiaoxin Knocked unconscious by the flat of an axe. Awoke with a splitting headache. ......
Inventory ReportOnly three days' worth of rations remain. The supplies requested last month still haven't arrived, and complaints of hunger and exhaustion can now be heard throughout the camp. Fresh chisel marks were found on the west wall of the storehouse. Ten lingzhi mushrooms and fifteen ginseng roots are missing. Hard to say whether this was the work of outside thieves or someone within our own ranks...
Battle ReportReport From the South Entrance: The Pillars of Kunlun continue to claim victories against the enemy. As of now, the Maskwalker army north of the forest grows smaller by the day. The peace in the Wulin is finally within reach!
Garrison Log[Day 342] Dayong's right arm... there was no saving it. He dropped to his knees and begged us to let him try Transcension. None of us could bear to see him like that, so in the end, we all agreed. Whatever guilt comes of this, we'll bear it together.
A Wulin Fighter's PledgeBig Brother, I heard about it! Those three heroes of Kunlun are leading you all in giving the Maskwalkers a real beating! I haven't spent the last ten years training with a blade for nothing! I'm coming to join you and fight alongside you! Huzi
Reply to a Request for AidTo Sect Leader Bi of the Baishan Sect, I have long heard of the Baishan Sect's deep foundations and abundance of talent. Who would have thought it could fall into such dire straits? I, too, am deeply concerned. Still, since you have the leisure to write this letter, I trust you must already have some clever plan in hand. Things are rather different here. We have been locked in bitter fighting for days. Much as I would like to send support, I fear we would be of little use and might only create further trouble... I hope your esteemed sect will understand. Lingran, respectfully
The Mandate's DecreeTo all fellow members of the righteous path, Hold fast to the righteous path and stand united. Strike with the force of thunder, and carry out justice in Heaven's name! All Maskwalkers are to be killed on sight. Show no mercy! The Mandate (seal)
List of the FallenHu Chengze: A brave fighter from Ye Town. He led his group in breaking free of an enemy encirclement and died valiantly in the charge. Chai Darui: （This name has been crossed out with a note saying "Turned into Maskwalker."） ...Ye: （This person's name and deeds have been crossed out. The surname is just barely legible.）
Mandate Military PledgeWe hereby swear in the name of the righteous path: we will hold the western stretch of the Main Road and let no one come to harm. Should we fail in our duty, we willingly submit to the strict punishment of our sects, even unto death, without regret. Let Heaven and Earth bear witness! (A large number of fingerprint seals)
Memories of Xie Yuan IMy master, Xie Huichun, was the heir to the Xie clan's martial arts, but to him, saving lives and healing the wounded carried far greater meaning than making a name for himself through martial prowess and strength in the Wulin. He refined the Chi circulation methods within the Xie clan's martial arts and developed a unique healing art of his own, saving countless lives over the years. During the Maskwalker Crisis, he spent his entire fortune gathering talented people from across the Wulin to find a way to reverse Sha-Chi Transcension. He even helped Maskwalkers who had lost their way suppress their murderous urges, allowing them to regain their dignity and true selves. But the one person he couldn't save... That person's family, those villagers... they stormed in, shouting "Quack!" They tied my master up and chopped off... my master's hands... Those were the hands that had saved countless lives...
Memories of Xie Yuan IIDid Zhuxie Zhenren really save my master... He's not the same anymore... He didn't kill those villagers, but instead he made them into... Their regret, anger, and pleas for mercy all became my master's strength and supply. My master also said, "I never knew this would feel so good." Yes... our hands... meant to save lives... why couldn't they save this decaying Wulin... nor stop a few villagers... what's the use in keeping them?
Letter with Messy HandwritingLong ago, I let the wolf into our midst, bringing untold suffering upon the people. That sin is mine to bear. Now the "Perfect Transcension" courses through me, and I struggle to suppress the bloodlust in my heart. But my flame gutters in the wind, and the drums will soon fall silent. Since entering this game, you have shaken Heaven and Earth. Like an awakened lion breaking through the mist, each step lands like thunder. I have held on in this darkness until now, waiting perhaps for none other than you, the true one to pluck the green. I have an important task to entrust to you. Take this key and open the door to my lion dance hall.
A Father's LetterSon: You unfilial child, it has been so long since you last sent word! Lately, the heroic deeds of the Three Heroes of Kunlun have spread throughout our hometown, earning endless praise. Only then did I realize that you followed them so you could join their righteous cause of eliminating the Maskwalkers and protecting the people. Your father is greatly relieved. I hope you will not become arrogant over your achievements. The great hero Huangxing is a master of this age. Having the fortune to receive his personal instruction, you must devote yourself to learning, live up to everyone's expectations, and uphold justice! Your father
One-Eyed Archer's Final LetterMy little girl, I go now to certain death without regret. My only sorrow is that I will never see you come of age. These are dangerous times, and evil often wears the face of kindness. If anyone offers you an easy path and promises to reunite you with me, never believe them. Never go near them. This is the only righteous path. Remember this. Remember it well. Your Father’s Final Words
Bloodstained DiaryThe cave is heavily guarded. Without reinforcements, I fear we cannot rescue our captured comrades... We managed to seize a letter from the enemy, but it contained no military secrets - only absurd words about killing to atone for sin... (The letter is spattered with blood. The writing afterward is too blurred to read.)
Urgent DispatchSenior Brother Wenjie, The captain refused to drink the immortal dew. He has changed completely, intoxicated by that inhuman power... This Transcension... has greatly increased his strength and speed. He is fiercer and more domineering than ever before. If we... please, Senior Brother... Wenyao
The Lift Lever Has Been StolenHuangxing's personal guards came to seize the lift switch, only for the madwoman Kui Yanyan to charge in. This Maskwalker is notorious for setting up pots on the mountain road and boiling people alive. She is utterly deranged. In the chaos, the switch fell into the madwoman's hands. Brothers, hold your positions for now. We will lure Huangxing's guards into fighting her and reap the benefits once both sides are weakened!
Mountain Closure DecreeThe Soulrend Mountains, northwest of Meigu Lake, were the site of a great calamity years ago. Sha-Chi still surges skyward from their peaks. Effective immediately, anyone who trespasses upon the Soulrend Mountains shall be deemed an agent of the unorthodox path. Their property shall be confiscated, and the Wulin shall unite against them. By order of the Nine Heavenly Thrones of the Mandate
