C13 Return, ... Malicious Intent

With an overjoyed mood, Bai Qing hastened towards the Bai Clan.

Roar!

GWARRH!

Not long after he left, a few bestial roars sounded as the situation of the demonic beasts' hide had been resolved. The dread of Xiao Yunhai etched deeply into the very depths of their bloodlines. They were usually not scared and were arrogant in this 'domain' of theirs for a long time now. It was only now that they truly withstood true terror of the cruel human race.

Bai Qing's usual aloof demeanor he usually had long been instinctively put away after seeing a 'god'. He could barely sustain the excitement in his heart. It was so radiating that everyone noticed it when he entered the clan. They whispered in hushed tones and gave sneaky glances to be sure that who they were actually seeing their clan leader and not some clone. They wondered what must have caused the indifferent clan leader to be so jovial today.

"Could the clan leader possibly have discovered a Dao Soul Merging Pill? It should explain his state of heart since he had been stuck in the bottleneck of the Yang Spirit stage. It has been his longtime dream to earn the title 'Dao Master' you know ha-ha!"

"No way, such pills are quite rare even in the entire Blue Sky Province. I guess he must have restored our clans' White Tiger Armor in this his last visit" someone chirped in disagreement.

Few years ago, some group of bandits infiltrated into the clan under a disguise. They were devastated by this as that encounter was unforgettable to the Bai Clan. They had lost a few spiritual artifacts and the White Tiger Armor happened to be part of the loot. That had caused a retrogression in their statuses and reduced them to their present state. The only requisite they needed to fulfil was to get at least one more Dao Merge powerhouse apart from their 'deceased' ancestor.

"That must have been so! That explains his joyful expression and his outburst of smiles" a young elder known as Bai Tianwu said in chuckles.

Bai Qing naturally heard this but was unconcerned with it. He scampered away towards the direction of the clan's ancestors crazily. It seemed hilarious until someone found out the wailing Xiao Ming in his hands.

"This… why is the clan leader holding a child. Could Clan Leader Qing's excitement be from him?" Immediately after, surrounding grumblings began as they brainstormed on the possible identity of the child. The middle aged man who asked the question gave an inquiring look to Bai Tianwu.

"Brother Yangjue… strangely, none of us are aware of the history of that brat" Bai Tianwu replied with feigned worry. A cold, malicious sheen passed across his eyes as he stared at the leaving silhouette.

"It appears Cousin Qing is seeing the clan ancestors with this estranged child… Now this is getting interesting" a cruel smile plastered on Bai Tianwu's lips as he reined in his thoughts. The Clan Patriarch had actually lured in a total stranger to the clan and was heading towards the ancestors. It was evidently a foolish decision based on the unusual reactions of the ancestors especially his father- The Grand Patriarch.
