By the time Bai Zihan's carriage soared through the clouds, news of his actions at the Mei Clan had already spread like wildfire throughout the Heaven Sword Sect and beyond.
"Did you hear? Bai Zihan reached the Late Golden Core Stage!"
"Not just that—he killed Mo Yichen, the rising star who was said to have defeated three Golden Core Stage cultivators alone!"
"What? Mo Yichen? But he was known as a genius with incredible potential! Even the Sect was looking to recruit him."
"He wasn't just killed. Rumor says Bai Zihan practically destroyed the entire Mei Clan in his rampage!"
"It's because of Mei Rulan, isn't it? Damn, who told her to offend this devil!"
…
It didn't take long for the rumors to mutate and evolve, growing wilder with each retelling.
Some were true, while others were just exaggerations like Bai Zihan destroying the Mei Clan.
