"So there was a bond of fate between them after all. The Dao of cause and effect truly is wondrous beyond words."
After learning the man's background, Chen Yang sighed inwardly.
Han Feng Yang, who had obtained an Ancient Path Treasure, did indeed have ties to the Yang Clan.
To trace those ties back, one had to start when Yang Lingshu joined the Myriad Transformation Sect.
Two other new disciples had taken the aptitude test alongside him and shown outstanding potential. One was Han Jingyi of the Tuoyue City Han Family.
Later, Mo Xian took Yang Lingshu as his disciple and brought him to the Hidden Peak, while another elder of the Myriad Transformation Sect took Han Jingyi under his wing.
As fellow disciples of the same generation, both gifted at cultivation, the two got along well.
When the War of Eastern Advance broke out between the Tiger Chasing Dynasty and the Eastern Wilderness Dynasty, they both went to the front lines.
Cultivators from across the Tiger Chasing Dynasty suffered heavy casualties in that war for territory.
Tragically, Han Jingyi and his master both fell on the battlefield. Neither lived to see the advance end in victory.
As a prodigy of the Myriad Transformation Sect, Yang Lingshu was repeatedly singled out by the Eastern Wilderness forces during the war.
Twice, when he was trapped in mortal danger and had exhausted every means of escape, Han Jingyi's master arrived in time to save his life.
After the war ended in a great Tiger Chasing victory, Yang Lingshu told his elder brother, Yang Lingrui, what had happened.
Yang Lingrui never forgot the debt. At Yang Lingshu's request, he took advantage of a secret decree issued by the Dynasty concerning the desert sea to travel to Tuoyue City and return Han Jingyi's belongings
