As If It Were Yesterday

Zhang Linchuan had changed his appearance for some reason. Jiang Wang hadn't known about it beforehand.

But he had committed this face to memory. He would never forget it.

Of course, Jiang Wang wouldn't believe everything the mysterious man he'd just encountered had said.

The truth still needed to be verified.

But the man had mentioned that the Life-less Cult was now active in Yong Kingdom.

When Maple Forest City fell, Second Elder Lu Yan of the White Bone Sect had sung the Song of White Bone Without Life. The White Bone Venerable God's terrifying source art, used to set Zhuang Chenggan's date of death, was called the Life-Ending Tribulation.

The name Life-less Cult clearly originated from the White Bone Sect.

According to the mysterious man, Zhang Linchuan had founded the Life-less Cult.

Jiang Wang didn't know whether Zhang Linchuan had gone off on his own or unified the White Bone Sect's existing forces to establish the Life-less Cult.

If it was the latter, then Zhang Linchuan's strength deserved a serious reassessment. At the very least, he had subdued Lu Yan, who possessed the Innate Underworld Eye and stood at the peak of the Outer Tower realm.

The Life-less Cult had emerged after the White Bone Sect's destruction. From this, it was clear that Zhang Linchuan had led the betrayal of the White Bone Holy Lord—or had at least been one of its leading figures.

The question Jiang Wang most wanted answered was how Zhang Linchuan had completely escaped the White Bone Venerable God, enabling him to betray the sect and found a new one. Or perhaps... had he ever truly escaped the White Bone Venerable God?

Zhuang Chenggan had escaped the influence of the Life-Ending Tribulation by nurturing and influencing another "self" to fill the tribulation's place.
