Meeting
Huangfu Wen's blood-soaked corpse instantly made the situation far more serious.
Murdering a fellow Dao Court cultivator and harming a scion of a Dao Province great clan.
What Bai Zisheng had done was egregious in the extreme.

Huangfu Wen had merely gone to persuade Bai Zisheng out of goodwill. Yet Bai Zisheng not only failed to appreciate it, but repaid kindness with enmity and killed Huangfu Wen. He was truly arrogant and brutal beyond measure.
