Snow blankets the foothills of the Holy Mountain in Gray Wolf Kingdom, while the Holy River, as always, meanders through the vast grasslands.
However, today, the atmosphere among the Baihua Tribe by the riverbank is unusually tense.
The men of the tribe, all clad in armor and wielding Spiritual Artifacts, bear solemn expressions on their faces as if facing a great enemy.
Meanwhile, the elderly, women, and children of the tribe, have long since used the teleportation Array left by Zhao Letian to evacuate, gathering now on a distant bank of the Holy River.
"Cailian, you take the tribespeople and go. Dad will stay behind to buy you time."
In the tribe's main tent, Clan Leader Mu Lang spoke with a grave expression.
