Bai Xiaowan cleared his throat and told the whole story.

These three masked men were all Yang Family disciples. The leader of the Foundation Establishment stage, Yang Dong, was Yang Fen's second uncle. Last time, it was Yang Fen who brought him into the manor of the former owner, Bai Xiaochuan, and slit his throat.

The reason why the Yang family wanted to kill Bai Xiaochuan time and time again, was actually related to that elder who brought Bai Xiaochuan into Falling Cloud Sect!

The elder's surname was Li, and his cultivation was at the great circle of the Core Formation stage. He was known as the number one cultivator below the Nascent Soul Stage in Chu. The Falling Cloud Sect also had high hopes for him. They believed that he had the best chance of becoming the third Nascent Soul cultivator of the Falling Cloud Sect.

Li Tai left the sect gate a hundred years ago to travel. Until he returned to the sect five years ago, he was still bringing along the lonely original owner, Bai Xiaochuan. After returning, he said that if Bai Xiaochuan were to successfully enter Foundation Establishment, he would accept him as his personal disciple.

Many of the Falling Cloud Sect's upper echelons were interested in Bai Xiaochuan's identity. Everyone had made quite a few guesses about Bai Xiaochuan's identity. There were even rumors saying that Bai Xiaochuan was Li Tai's illegitimate child.

Coincidentally, Li Tai had gained a lot from this trip. He had entered closed-door training to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage within a few days of his return. In these five years, he had been in seclusion to break through the bottleneck, thus he did not have the opportunity to explain his relationship with Bai Xiaochuan.

The original owner Bai Xiaochuan's talent in cultivation was average. After cultivating for five years, he had reached the fourth level of Qi Condensation. This made many of the sect's upper echelon look at him with interest. Slowly, the sect lost interest in him.

In addition, the original owner, Bai Xiaochuan, was a timid and timid person. He would never cause trouble by acting in a low-profile manner. He didn't have any friends in the sect and gradually lost his sense of existence in the Falling Cloud Sect.

And Li Tai had been in closed door cultivation for the past five years, so he didn't have the time to come visit him. Thus, the original owner, Bai Xiaochuan, was in a state of self-destruction.

However, word had spread among the senior executives of the Falling Cloud Sect that Li Tai was about to come out. This meant that Li Tai was going to be promoted to a great Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

If Li Tai's promotion was successful, there would be a third Nascent Soul cultivator in the Falling Cloud Sect. The Falling Cloud Sect would be the most famous sect in Chu. This was something that the other two sects did not want to see.

There were three great cultivation sects in Chu. Falling Cloud Sect, Hidden Joyous Valley, and Heavenly Sword Sect.

Falling Cloud Sect was a sect with an all-encompassing wealth. All sorts of cultivation sects had been involved in this. It was a very comprehensive cultivation sect. With the greatest cultivator of Chu, Old Freak Li, as well as a Nascent Soul Stage Supreme Elder, leading the charge. Falling Cloud Sect could be considered as a sect with a tyrannical amount of talents. It was already a position that could easily suppress the other two sects.

Hidden Joy Valley. The great Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Old Devil Zang Huan, established his sect. All the disciples practiced the dual cultivation technique, and the spring light of the entire sect was hard to conceal, causing one's heart to surge.

Duo Cultivation was famous for its speed of growth, and the taste of duo cultivation was simply fascinating. The combined power of two Dao-companions was also astonishing.

The female disciples of Zang Huan Valley were well-known for their superior furnaces. However, everyone was afraid of the thunderous attack of the Old Demon Zang Huan. No one dared to openly attack the female disciples of the Zang Huan Valley.

Heavenly Sword Sect was a sect founded by the great Nascent Soul cultivator Lin Jian Feng. Lin Jianfeng was a sword cultivator who had been famous for a long time in Chu.

Once, he had single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of cultivators in one night. That night, the blood-red light shot up into the sky, and even the moon in the sky was illuminated into a blood-red moon. That night, it was eventually called the "Bloody Moon Massacre Night" of Chu.

In the world of cultivation, everyone believed that swordsmen had the strongest offensive and combat power. Among cultivators of the same level, swordsmen could firmly suppress cultivators of the same level by three points.

The entire Heavenly Sword Sect was filled with sword cultivators. The strength of this sect could be imagined. One man, one sword, walking across the horizon with a sword in hand. This was also the dream of many young boys and girls. Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect was filled with talented people.

In Yang Dong's memory, the Yang Family had colluded with external forces. They were prepared to destroy Li Tai, who was about to become a great Nascent Soul cultivator! To be specific, with Yang Dong's position in the Yang family, he didn't have the qualification to know these deep things.

The reason to destroy Li Tai was very simple; if the Falling Cloud Sect added another great Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be even easier. Then the other two sects wouldn't be able to stand up for 500 years!

As for the other two sects, the Hidden Joyous Valley and the Heavenly Sword Sect, they only had a single Nascent Soul Grandmaster overseeing them. The Falling Cloud Sect already had two people. If a third appeared soon, it would be unacceptable for the other two sects.

Thus, the external forces reached an agreement with the Yang family. As the internal power provided convenience to the external power, the external power provided extremely generous rewards to the Yang family.

Their plan was also very simple. Ordinary people would find it difficult to get close to Li Tai, so they could only start with the people beside him. But Li Tai's heart only had the road to longevity. He was alone, and had not even had a wife or an apprentice for hundreds of years.

Thus, the original owner, Bai Xiaochuan, became their target. Coupled with Li Tai's sudden closed-door cultivation, he didn't have time to explain his relationship with Bai Xiaochuan. This caused everyone to think that his relationship with Bai Xiaochuan was not shallow.

A fatal disaster fell from the sky. They decided to kill Bai Xiaochuan, disrupt Li Tai's mental state, and interrupt his closed door cultivation. As long as Li Tai was unable to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in a short period of time, they still had the chance to kill this Nascent Soul Stage seed. But once Li Tai was promoted successfully, then nothing could be reversed.

The matter of killing Bai Xiaochuan was handed over to the Yang Family. Originally, this matter was not difficult at all. Yang Dong and Yang Fen killed the original owner Bai Xiaochuan with ease. Unexpectedly, before the news of Bai Xiaochuan's death could spread, he had been revived on the spot.

However, the strange thing was that Bai Xiaochuan did not tell anyone about this matter, and no one from the Falling Cloud Sect made any noise either. Although the Yang family couldn't figure it out, they didn't have much time to think about it.

The external forces repeatedly urged the Yang family to make a move. Finally, the Yang family found an opportunity. The Yang family found out that Bai Xiaochuan left the sect for the market alone. This was a golden opportunity! The Yang family immediately sent out killers to kill Bai Xiaochuan.

However, this opportunity was deliberately given to them by Bai Xiaochuan. The Yang family thought of themselves as hunters, but the real hunters also sharpened their hunting knives. Bai Xiaochuan killed two killers from the Yang family in one wave.

Now, the whole matter was very clear. Bai Xiaochuan's life and death had become a crucial part of the sect's battle. The fighting between sects that were surging with power was like a monstrous wave pouncing towards Bai Xiaochuan. As for Bai Xiaochuan, he was a reef by the shore. Could he withstand this terrifying and monstrous wave?
