In an open patch of snow within the snow forest, outside the dilapidated house with eight stone statues, four hooded and masked cultivators in black cloaks were waiting for Snow Valley to hand over the pair of men and women they demanded.
The ruined house with the stone statues happened to be situated at the only passage between Snow Valley and the Ice Mountain, and was also a mandatory route leading from the snow forest to the lower reaches of Wangchuan River and onward to various countries. Stationed here, the four of them could easily wait for leisure while the enemy exhausted themselves.
When Lu Ming and Bai Susu flew in, they saw two black figures standing atop the eastern and western pine trees respectively, one standing on the roof of the ruined stone-statue house, and another standing in the middle of the snowfield.
