Niu Bei Ridge, where the peaks rose in wonder, the mountain form rugged and steep.
This place was the main peak to the southeast of the Qinling, the divide separating Guanzhong and Shangzhou, with its majestic mountain range, yet also dotted with rivers and streams, large and small.
High upon the mountains, there were even perennial glaciers blanketing the summits, melting into streams that flowed through the gullies.
Whenever it rained, flash floods would burst forth, and the towering, dense forest, shrouded in clouds and mist, often ensnared outsiders who ventured in.
It was precisely because of this that Niu Bei Ridge became a refuge for numerous bandits.
On the western side of a ravine, precipitous cliffs rose; a vast cave hidden within where only a narrow plank walkway connected to the outside world. This was the location of White Tiger Village.
Inside the cave's great hall, torches blazed fiercely, the atmosphere heavy.
