The mad White Beast ultimately took his own life as dawn tore through the sky. In the moment before his death, his life replayed before his unfocused eyes…
White Beast was not originally called White Beast; his real name was quite beautiful—Bai Jin. From a young age, the adults in his family said he was handsome and would surely grow up to be a charming young man in the eyes of the girls.
Bai Jin received the best education at home, and according to his mother, he had the potential to become the head of the family in the future.
As Bai Jin approached adulthood, the elders in his family sent him out to gain experience, saying that when he returned, it would be time for him to inherit the family legacy.
With tears in his eyes, Bai Jin bid farewell to his parents and set off on his journey.
It was from that moment that his once-bright future underwent a drastic change.
In the first few years, Bai Jin's experiences went smoothly until the final year when he decided to return home to inherit the family legacy, believing he had gained enough experience. He felt ready to shoulder the responsibilities of the entire family.
However, what he did not expect was that just as he was about to step onto his homeland, he encountered a riot involving refugees, and he lost contact with the guards assigned by his family. When he finally reestablished communication with them, he was told that there had never been anyone named Bai Jin in their family and that he should not claim any kinship.
For someone eager to return to his family, this news was nothing short of a devastating blow; he could hardly believe what he had heard.
At that time, no matter how much he tried to explain—even presenting the jade pendant given to him by his family as identification—he was still ruthlessly driven away.
He remembered it was a sunny afternoon when he pleaded at his family's doorstep for a long time but could not even see his parents. To make matters worse, a servant had thrown him out and spat on his face.
What a humiliation it was! He had been nurtured as an heir, yet now he could not enter his own home and was subjected to ridicule by a servant. In a fit of rage and despair, he fainted right at his own doorstep.
When he woke up, he found himself discarded beside a filthy ditch, stripped of all luxury. It dawned on him that this so-called experience was nothing but nonsense. Without the protection of his family, he was no different from an ordinary person—he possessed skills but had no opportunity to showcase them.
He drifted through more than a month in this state. Suddenly one day, someone claiming to be sent by his brother Bai Zhan found him and said they were there to take him home.
This surprise came so suddenly that it left him no time to think; without hesitation, he followed the person who had come for him.
However, what awaited him was not Bai Zhan, but a lethal poison. If he had not awakened at the last moment, it would not have been just his left arm that was destroyed, but both of his hands. One must ask, without hands, how could he continue to cultivate? He would become a useless person.
In the end, he killed the one who deceived him and then escaped. From that moment on, he truly understood that he might never return home, and there would be no place for him in this land.
After experiencing such great ups and downs, he was no longer confused; his heart was filled only with hatred. He had to fight back and let those who humiliated him and sought to cripple him know that he was not so easily defeated.
Years passed, and he was able to suppress the poison in his left arm well. Aside from it flaring up every six months, he was no different from ordinary people, and his cultivation had advanced even further.
He concealed his identity not only to strengthen himself but also to investigate what had happened during the years he had been away from home and why his parents had disappeared.
After some twists and turns, he finally uncovered some facts—
It turned out that in the second year after he left home, his parents were controlled by some people in the clan. To prevent any leaks of information, they allowed him to live as before for the next few years.
At that time, he was focused on training and indeed did not notice the changes happening within the family. It was only after those people received news of his intention to return that they became anxious and used various means to sever his connection with the family, followed by a series of humiliations and plots against him.
On that sunny afternoon, after being unable to seek an audience and fainting in anger, his parents were brutally murdered.
Bai Jin felt a sharp pain in his heart as a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out. This time he did not faint; after enduring so much, these events could no longer affect him deeply but instead ignited the hatred within him.
The hatred for the murder of his parents was irreconcilable; what did his own little humiliation matter?
This time, with a belief in certain death, he charged into the clan. Even though he wanted to personally slay his enemies, he was ultimately outnumbered. In the end, despite putting forth all his effort, he only managed to kill a few subordinates of Bai Zhan, while he himself was subdued before Bai Zhan.
He refused to kneel, so Bai Zhan ordered someone to break his legs; he refused to bow his head, so Bai Zhan commanded that his head be forcefully pressed against the ground.
At that time, Bai Zhan had not yet taken the position of clan leader but already acted in such a manner. One can only imagine how arrogant and tyrannical he would be once he became clan leader.
He did not kill Bai Jin; instead, he allowed members of the clan to take turns humiliating him. In the end, Bai Jin's name was stripped away from him and changed to White Beast, with "Beast" denoting a lowly creature.
This is the humiliation of Bai Zhan, but for Bai Jin, the name no longer matters. The only reason he still retains the surname Bai is because of his parents. Changing it to White Beast allows him to constantly remember the deep-seated hatred he carries.
After enduring humiliation for another six months, he took advantage of an outing by Bai Zhan, deceived the guards, and escaped from the Bai Clan. Through much effort, he finally became a disciple of the already-adult Yun Tianying.
To seek revenge, he was willing to sell himself; as long as he could personally kill Bai Zhan and avenge himself, he would do anything.
Yun Tianying investigated the matter and briefly had thoughts of killing him because it was the Bai Clan that had poisoned him in the first place. How dare this person come to him seeking help? What kind of insult was this?!
Yun Tianmo had a very good relationship with Yun Tianying and was aware of this incident at that time. Although he was young, he possessed a clever mind and was quite cunning, which is why he persuaded Yun Tianying to keep White Beast around for future use.
"If you can assist me, I will allow you to kill your enemy; if you act on your own accord, I will grant you death." At that moment, Yun Tianmo stood just slightly taller than the kneeling White Beast, but when he spoke these words, he commanded respect.
White Beast understood that if it weren't for this young prince before him, it was likely that Seventh Prince Yun Tianying would not have spared him. He immediately vowed to comply.
As the mature young Yun Tianmo left with his hands behind his back, he left behind a statement—
"Be loyal enough, and I will avenge you."
It was this very statement from years ago that led White Beast to end his own life without any hesitation.
