Didn't the king want Huwei to return the coal from ten caves?
Lu Feng sneered and pointed out to his subordinate, "You really think the king wants him to return the coal? The king wants him to know that without the protection of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, he is nothing. We don't need to do anything; this is the best punishment for him."
...
The cold wind howled, and the snow was white.
Beneath a continuous, snow-white mountain range, several tiny figures, as small as ants, struggled to move through the blizzard.
Braving the wind and snow, every footprint sank deep into the snow.
The blizzard nearly buried them all.

A small footprint landed heavily on the snow, continuing its journey towards the high snow-capped mountain.
The people behind them turned around and looked at the endless plains in the distance. Their dejected eyes were quickly replaced by determination, and each of them followed in the footsteps of the person in front of them.
