The three thousand burning flame is wild and untamable. The elders must hold on to the barrier until they can save the kids. The elder mu gu says that the fire is not targeting them first, but that it would be best if the two groups fought each other until both were wounded. The three dou-venerates are furious and say that the three thousand flames is wild, un-tamable, and refuses to meet its promise. They say that it will be troublesome if they drag the flames out until they capture the soul clan and extract its "primal fire."
