Bai Qianzhang

History
Bai Qianzhang, however, could. He had not been called Bai Qianzhang during that time, and his name had only changed after he had seen a scroll from one of the ancient treasures he’d found from his searches. He just barely managed to escape from a large event that was enough to leave him with a full head of white hair, and it was then that he gave himself this new name[1]. It had also been at that time that he made one of the biggest decisions in his life: to betray his clan for the scroll.

And that scroll was none other than this [Decapitation’s Portrayal]!

Bai Qianzhang knew that the scroll was extremely important and had secrets hidden within, yet in the seven hundred years since, he could not understand the scroll no matter how hard he tried. As a result, during the three hundred years he had made Qing-Yun his home, he had chosen several smart-witted disciples to see if they were able to comprehend it instead. In the span of these three hundred years, of the nine d isciples he had chosen, seven had failed and were sent back to the sect after having their memories wiped clean.

As for the other two… they unfortunately entered a state of Qigong Deviation. Their souls had been eaten up alive by their inner demons after making just very minimal grasps on the scroll.

This time, he had chosen Fang Xing because he felt the boy was different. After having gone through and failing so many disciples with great zi’zhi and wit, this irregular boy might just be the key to solving the questions he had gathered throughout all these years.
