Skyhorse City.
In the west of the city was a small gang known as the White Snake Gang.
The White Snake Gang had been established for several decades. It occupied the profits of a small district and mingled among the many minor gangs, never particularly conspicuous.
The only surprising thing was that its structure was remarkably stable; not a single internal conflict had ever occurred.
Moreover, over the past several decades, it had faced several threats of invasion by powerful outside forces, yet they had all been resolved without anyone noticing.
This made the other forces in Skyhorse City realize that the White Snake Gang must have some powerful expert or organization hidden behind it. It was not to be trifled with!
This day.
Within the residence of the White Snake Gang's leader, the eldest of the Bai family.
Old Madam Bai, her hair snow-white and leaning on a cane, narrowed her eyes as she basked contentedly in the sun.
When people grew old, they always found themselves recalling the days of their youth.
At this moment, she seemed to remember once more her fall into a brothel, the White Dragon Envoy... and that battle in the darkness!
"Honored Master..."
"After all these years, why have you never contacted me?"
A trace of sorrow surfaced on the wrinkled face of Old Madam Bai—Yu Xuanwei after she had changed her name.
"Even a spirit-refining martial master cannot escape birth, aging, sickness, and death?"
An ominous thought rose in Old Madam Bai's heart.
The Honored Master had been older than she was. By now, could he perhaps already have...
Just as grief filled her heart, she suddenly looked toward a nearby corridor. "Who is it, playing a joke on this old woman?"
