Still ill at ease, he waited for about the space of an incense stick, making sure that Han Yu had gone far away. Then, employing the Wind Whispering Line—a Dharma Treasure originating from Wind Island—he summoned a violent tornado. In an instant, gale-force winds swept through the mountain range, the fierce gales from all directions causing the snow-covered slopes near the cave to collapse and fracture.
