Eve of the Battle

As the Black Tower Order Token successfully destroyed the medicine garden and drew out the ancient aura from the ground, in another part of the Great Snow Mountain, two white-bearded old men followed behind a veiled woman, walking slowly along the snow-covered mountain path.

"Miss Hong, we've been wandering around this mountain for over a month under your guidance, but still haven't found what we're looking for. Are you deliberately playing with us?" one of the white-bearded old men complained.

"Gentlemen," the veiled woman leading the way turned her head, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "If you don't trust me, we can turn back now. After all, it's not me who is desperately seeking this Wilderness Stone."

"Hmph! Turn back? Then how do we account for the time we've wasted over the past month?" another white-bearded old man exclaimed angrily.
