Lex, Wu Kong, Jack and the others weren't the only ones focusing on the Dream realm all of a sudden. Its resurgence was at a very inopportune time, for both the Path of Chaos and the Path of Order. The Dream realm's reach could not be curtailed, nor its targets controlled. As such, it messed up many carefully calculated plans, as well as created various opportunities for some.
One such opportunity involved a report that was sent through official information channels for Dao Lords, stating that all known clones of Wu Kong had disappeared, suspectedly sucked into the Dream realm.
While that was not nearly enough leverage for some people to consider attacking the Midnight Inn, it was enough for a few to start thinking about how to seal Wu Kong again. More importantly, Wu Kong had previously acted as Lex's guardian prior to the Tea party, deterring anyone from actively acting against him.
