If anyone from the Bai Clan were to steal a fleeting glance at the mysterious masked figure before them, they would immediately recognize the face hidden behind the mask. It was none other than the revered Third Elder of the Bai Clan—Bai Tianwu. Recently, news had infiltrated his ears through secretive whispers from a mysterious merchant organization. The name "Xiao Ming" had come to his attention, and with it, a troubling revelation. The 'Bai Ming' everyone knew was not the person they thought. Beneath that well-known name lay an entirely different identity.
The dark intent within Bai Tianwu's heart was clear to anyone who could read between the lines. His evil schemes had already taken root, and it was only a matter of time before they began to sprout. His mind buzzed with plans and calculations, and for him, there was no turning back. As for Xiao Ming, completely unaware of the storm brewing around him, he continued his journey, oblivious to the looming danger from the Bai Clan.
