At White Wolf Mound, the Wolf Ancestor protected his children, Ziqiong and Zicang, by keeping their Purple Moon Wolf bloodline hidden while considering the Yang Household’s long-term plans for the Blood Moon and Blood River Secret Realms. He told the White Wolf King that they would support Iron Lion Ridge during the coming Cold Tide War and remain inside agents as the Yang Household pursued a gradual expansion strategy.
