Lower Four had used a Raven to send back a Blood Letter, revealing a single piece of information.

"He's a goner."

For others, "taking action" might have other connotations.
But for Feng Bei, the meaning of "take action" was quite literal: she would "put out her hands."
What happened next was something that both Dou Xie and Yue Yan found utterly inconceivable.
