Zhu Wen did not storm the Inkbound Order at first. He asked repeatedly to "borrow" the Ten Aspects books. The answer was always no. When the White Horse Calamity came the Longwu Army turned the library into a slaughterhouse, and every disciple with a name worth remembering was cut down. Yet victory brought Zhu Wen nothing.
