Bai Song had always wanted to kill Hu Gao to seize the Jade Rope from him. This is a Martial Saint Treasure, incredibly powerful, capable of attacking and restraining experts, especially when it comes to restraining experts; it is indeed extraordinary. Even a master in the Martial Saint Realm, if bound by the Jade Rope without an unexpected Concealment Skill, can absolutely not escape.
Hu Gao's cultivation is at the Early-stage Martial Venerate, whereas Bai Song's cultivation is at the Mid Martial Venerate, so Hu Gao is not Bai Song's match. However, Hu Gao has the Jade Rope in his hand, and many times he has narrowly escaped death. Moreover, Hu Gao's grandfather, Hu Le, is also one of the top experts among loose cultivators, second only to Bai Song's grandfather, Bai Yanwu. This has forced Bai Song to exercise caution and at least refrain from killing Hu Gao openly and seizing the Jade Rope.
