The elder brother, Ming, and his son, Cai, have a brief conversation. Ming tells Cai that he will kill all of Cai's family members if Cai refuses to leave the city. Cai is shocked at this news and tells Ming that he owes it to his clan and bloodlines to protect him. He says that he is strong enough to resist Ming's attack. Ming says that Cai is too weak to resist him. Cai tells him that he has one strike against Ming and that he refuses to look at him. Ming asks Cai to apologize for the insult. Cai apologizes for the offense and says that the ice-river valley will no longer covet the poison. Cai says that Ming is as vile as he expected and that they should chase after the disciples of the chief.
