The Kunlun Mountains, China.
It was already two days after he entered the Kunlun Mountains. Nothing else than snow could be seen here.
Lucien was currently walking through some paths, and he was literary following his intuition in his pursuit of forces from the Washuu Clan.
Even though it was very cold here because it was constantly snowing and the wind blowing, Lucien was fine, he was a 4th-Star Ghoul that evolved with RC Star Evolution Method, so this kind of temperature was nothing to him at all.
He walked through the passage and various mountain passages.
Lucien walked through this passage for several hours until he saw that sky was darkening and the wind was getting stronger and colder. He knew that snowstorm was coming this way and he must go to hide.
He wondered how we're able the forces of the Washuu Clan survive in such a hostile environment, but he thought they were better equipped and prepared for this situation than he was. They planned it longer, and he knew that this must be planned for a long time and the personal order of Washuu Tsuneyoshi only started the operation.
On the other side, Lucien only knew about it for one or two days, and it looked like that too, he was without any preparations and so.
His only preparation was parting with Itori, Eto, and Uta.
That's all.
Maybe giving orders to Darkwalker and his bunch of mercenaries.
He found himself a nice cave to wait till the snowstorm ended.

Now the weather was much better as there wasn't any wind blowing or snow falling. Lucien smiled widely at this, and he proceeded to the deeper parts of the mountains. He wasn't going too fast as he was very cautious about this place.
Nobody knows when could be some avalanche or another snowstorm. He could also step on the wrong spot, and frozen ground under him would crack, and he could fall, who knows, whereas, in some places, the ground was just frozen snow and ice.
As Lucien was going through this place slowly, it took him a week to arrive at the entrance to the inner parts of the Kunlun Mountains. The entrance itself was located in a valley, which was a relatively small one; when he saw the place, he noticed there were many people around.
Lucien knew that Washuu Clan probably had some kind of camp here. With his telekinesis, he counted all people here. There were around sixty people here, which meant that this was supplying point and also sentry.
Of the sixty-five here, fifty were mercenaries for sure because they were clothed like ones. Some were holding even assault rifles and were dressed in various types of clothing to keep them warm.
Lucien knew that these people were just some weaklings at B-Rate, and maybe a few of them would be of A-Rate, but then there were precisely 10-people in pitch-black heavy leather long coats, which were similar to those coats which agents of Vasuki are wearing.
Though this was some kind of version of cold environments, apparently, these people were agents of Vasuki as they were clothed in a similar fashion and all of them had katanas handing at their waists.
And lastly, there were five middle-aged men in luxurious clothing, and all of them wore masks covering their faces, the same as the agents of Vasuki; they also had katanas handing at their waists.
Lucien could feel from their auras that they should be stronger than those agents of V, and a small grin formed on his face.
It was time to tint this pure white snow with some blood.
