Kuyi Tulan and the Great Mentor had been conversing for some time. The duration wasn't excessively long, nor was it brief, but it was enough to give rise to much speculation among the others. Essentially, while the two of them spoke, everyone else was lost in thought. After all, those harmed by Kuyi Tulan held no hope for him, while his followers harbored no doubts. Neither side could convince the other, resulting in a stalemate as they watched to see if the Great Mentor or Kuyi Tulan would be the first to sway the other.
Among the group, one person was particularly furious but had been suppressing his emotions. He curbed his anger to give Great Mentor Guzan space; after all, Kuyi Tulan was the Great Mentor's disciple, and he couldn't rashly attack him. Furthermore, he himself had expended too much energy and wasn't in a position to act recklessly.
This person was Stan Sol. To him, Kuyi Tulan's Alchemy Workshop had taken Dastan, a warrior from their family.
