Supporting the body in the white blade, wandering in the red dust

Chapter 1014

The Bai clan is finished—if Bai Lang were still alive, killing one branch of their family to pay off the debt would have been enough, but he had already killed off the entire clan and driven them out, so the whole clan had to be wiped out.

Bai Lang felt incredibly satisfied with the news, even though it had nothing to do with him. He thought, "Serving as a scapegoat, I think the Bai family clan deserved to die."

To say that the Bai family didn't know he was at the martial arts school? That would be a gross underestimation of the Bai family. After all, they are a respectable and wealthy family in the outer city, not the richest but not the poorest either, basically ranking around 30th or 40th in the outer city.

Unfortunately, who could have foreseen this? Finding a street urchin isn't so easy, and it's much more convenient to handle things this way than to control his entire family.

People also need to consider cost-effectiveness when collecting debts.
The Bai family was wiped out, leaving only the former playboy Bai Lang, whose whereabouts are unknown. He is now impersonating Jin Lingguang and hanging around the Flying Bird Martial Arts School, so finding him is indeed not easy.

"Alright, now the family of this guy who was originally a ghost has suffered retribution. This guy should be at peace now, and his mother and father should be too." Bai Lang felt that these people should really thank him.

These debt collectors only stayed in the outer city for two days before leaving, leaving behind an empty place where the Bai clan lived. Of course, it was quickly swallowed up by several neighboring families.

It was just a barren wasteland; apart from some crude houses, there was nothing left, except that all the valuable building materials had been taken away.
Bai Lang can now focus on reading the martial arts school's feuds. "A small temple has many demons, and a shallow pond has many turtles!" In this small martial arts school, seven major factions are vying for power and forming alliances. The school master and his direct descendants seem to be watching from the sidelines as if nothing is wrong. At most, they will punish some factions when their excessive methods are exposed. That's right, the school master has a son and a daughter.

These two, along with the school's owner, are the people who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts at the school.

The head of the martial arts school is the highest authority, and most of the truly core martial arts secrets can only be passed down to his two children. The five so-called true disciples will probably still be kept secret by the head of the school.

For example, the most essential visualization diagram—all five disciples had seen the copied visualization diagram, but the original that truly captured a trace of its essence was kept very well hidden by the curator.

He didn't mention the original version, but Bai Lang guessed it.

It's estimated that even the five disciples didn't know, but Bai Lang's martial arts were so high that he saw through it at a glance.

"Eagle Claw Kung Fu has to hide a trick up its sleeve. Next it will only be Chicken Claw Kung Fu, and eventually Sparrow Claw Kung Fu. Now I understand why martial arts schools are updated and replaced so quickly." Bai Lang chuckled. He really hadn't paid much attention to the process of replacement in the lower-level martial arts world.

Now that he can fire two crisp shots, he is considered a figure among the inner disciples, at least not at the bottom but still a background character.

The average level of the inner disciples is three strikes, and the five top disciples have all reached or are about to reach perfection. The sect leader should be at the fifth or sixth level of internal strength? The skills of the son and daughter are unknown, but they can at least fight with a loud bang.

Bai Lang? In this world, Bai Lang would be an unparalleled immortal who has already reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm. Here, he can only reach this level, but that doesn't mean Bai Lang can't break through completely—the upper limit is very high, but unfortunately, the human body in this world can only go so far.

Bai Lang is not a human being in this world, so the limit is useless to him.

His Southern Vermilion Bird Fist and Eagle Claw Kung Fu aren't really related; if you have to compare them, they're both birds, right? Seeing the Bai family's destruction, Bai Lang felt it was time to experience the strangeness of this world while watching Hong Kong dramas.

Not to mention the many strange occurrences at sea, the strange occurrences in the outer cities on land are no less numerous.

On average, an anomaly occurs every two days in the outer city, resulting in at least two deaths—it may not seem like much, but this is because the anomalies on land kill according to certain rules and rarely roam around. As long as the scene is sealed off, most anomalies will not move to kill.

That's simple. After an accident occurs, the scene is sealed off, and we can deal with it slowly later. By now, at least a thousand strange scenes in the outer city have been sealed off, and no one has dealt with them.

And so Bai Lang appeared, ready to go and see these so-called strange things.

Anything that has become a demon, such as a beast or a corpse that has risen from the dead, is usually the easiest to deal with and can be eliminated immediately. The real troublesome things are the spirits bound by the local environment, mutated household items, and similarly mutated local rules.

Because you don't know what the latter two are, while the former is difficult to see with the naked eye, and even if you see it, you may not be able to see through it.

Bai Lang found the closest place to the Flying Bird Martial Arts School—it is said that martial arts schools do have the obligation to guard or clean up these strange places, but most martial arts schools are only fit to guard.

"They say this place is haunted by evil spirits or something like that; anyone who stays overnight will die. I've tried setting it on fire, but it's useless—it won't light. If you go in and try to light it, you'll never come back. So as long as you don't go in, you're fine, and I've just left it alone," Bai Lang muttered.

The man crawled under the seal and said, "Hmm, it smells a bit musty, but otherwise it's fine. It's just that the temperature here is noticeably lower than outside, which saves on air conditioning electricity bills in the summer."

The place doesn't look like anything special; it's just the style of a traditional Xiguan mansion with a courtyard. The furniture is still there, but there are some blackened marks in some places, which are obviously old bloodstains.

The dead who had spent the night were all dragged out, of course. Only those who went in to set the fire simply disappeared without a trace, their bodies never to be found. Of course, no one has come to check on it in the past few years; perhaps someone really did die inside and turned into bones, and nobody cared.

Sure enough, upon entering the main hall, Bai Lang saw a skeleton sitting on a grand chair, its clothes tattered and worn.

There was a putrid smell in the air, and the airflow after the door was opened caused the skeleton to fall apart with a crash.

Bai Lang stomped on the skull that rolled in front of him and crushed it. "A crisp sound is a good head." He continued forward, pushed open the door to his right, and went inside. The study was not very big, but there was a skull on the bed in the room.

The damp air swirled through the house, flowing through room after room, and in an instant, the rooms were brightly lit and filled with laughter and cheerful sounds, as if the good old days had never disappeared.

Bai Lang stood still, everything was an illusion in his eyes. This was still the old and dilapidated house, nothing had changed.

"How interesting. So that's how it is. You really can't do it without the ability to see through things. And even those who see through things may not have the ability to grasp the core of what caused all of this."
