Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 25: A Hundred Battles of Pure Blood, Clash of Swords

Faced with Taiwei's question, Bai Yi remained silent, which made Taiwei's smile even more pronounced.

"You're wrong! I am the pure-blooded young master of the White Tiger Clan!" Bai Yi's tone was icy, and the aura around him was restless. Beside him, the middle-aged man of the White Tiger Clan who had been blasted away by Shen Xiao earlier had returned to Bai Yi's side. He gripped his great axe tightly in his right hand and looked coldly at Shen Xiao, who was also surging with aura beside Tai Wei.

"Pure-blooded young master? The aura on your body doesn't seem like that of a pure-blooded White Tiger. The bloodline of a pure-blooded White Tiger is naturally inscribed with the aura of many Great Daos such as Gengxin Metal Dao, Star Dao, Xunfeng Dao, and Heavenly Thunder Dao."

"I only sensed the aura of Gengxin Metal Dao and Yin Sha Dao on you. Your bloodline information is too incomplete. Even among ordinary White Tiger Clan members, your bloodline level is not considered high."

Taiwei seemed completely oblivious to Bai Yi's increasingly gloomy expression, and continued to speak. However, as he spoke, Taiwei slapped his forehead and looked at Bai Yi with a slightly strange expression.

"No, there seem to be three ways to become a pure-blooded white tiger young master in the white tiger clan. The first is to be born by a pure-blooded white tiger. The second is to undergo the purification of one's bloodline in the Heavenly Star Hundred Fiend Pool and become a pure-blooded white tiger later."

"The third scenario is that a mixed-blood young master defeats all the remaining mixed-blood young masters, thus nominally becoming a pure-blood young master."

"However, within the White Tiger Clan, such a young master is not called a pure-blooded young master, but rather a Hundred-Battle Pure-Blooded Young Master. Of course, in private, they probably call him a Hundred-Battle Mixed-Blood Young Master."

A slightly mocking smile appeared on Taiwei's face. Looking at Bai Yi, whose expression was extremely cold, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the mockery on her face became even more intense.

"I thought that no one would dare to become the pure-blooded young master of the Hundred Battles Clan in recent years. I didn't expect there to be a fool like you. What you said is not wrong. You are indeed the pure-blooded young master of the White Tiger Clan in name, but it is only in name."

"You thought that after being promoted to the Hundred Battles Pureblood Young Master, you would be able to enjoy the same status and respect as the Pureblood Young Master, but reality is not as good as you imagined. You should feel it now."

"Who are you?!"

Bai Yi looked at Taiwei with some doubt and uncertainty in his heart. The situation Taiwei described was exactly the same as his own experience, and even his predicament was almost identical.

He is indeed the young master of the White Tiger Clan, but only a mixed-blood young master. Even though he defeated all the mixed-blood young masters and was nominally no weaker than those pure-blood young masters, Bai Yi's actual status was still far inferior to those pure-blood young masters.

The pure-blooded young master of the White Tiger Clan can directly select his own 100,000-strong private army from all the vassal races of the White Tiger Clan. His mount is the White Tiger Imperial Carriage, which can block ordinary Taiyi Realm experts. He will also receive a spiritual treasure personally crafted by the Tiger Ancestor Bai Ju.

Although he is nominally a pure-blooded young master, he does not possess any of the spiritual treasures and divine objects that pure-blooded young masters possess. Even the hundred-man squad under his command is composed of remnants of his deceased mother's tribe.

As for the middle-aged man from the White Tiger Clan, his name was Ziku. Bai Yi had spent a lot of rare and precious materials to gradually elevate him from the True Immortal realm to the Golden Immortal realm.

Therefore, Ziku chose to submit to Bai Yi. Otherwise, given Bai Yi's awkward status, no member of the White Tiger Clan would give up other pure-blooded young masters and choose a mixed-blood young master like Bai Yi.

In fact, if Bai Yi hadn't defeated the other mixed-blood young masters and had chosen to become a pure-blooded young master of the Hundred Battles, his situation in the White Tiger Clan would have been far better than it is now.

However, it was precisely because he chose to become the pure-blooded young master of the Hundred Battles faction that he offended all the other mixed-blood young masters who were originally on his side, and those pure-blooded young masters continued to look down on him as always.

Even though Bai Yi's strength surpassed that of most pure-blooded young masters, he still couldn't earn their respect. Even the high-ranking members and powerful figures of the White Tiger Clan didn't care about a so-called battle-hardened pure-blooded young master.

After all, the so-called "Hundred Battles Pure Blood Young Master" rule was not established by Bai Ju, the first ancestor of the White Tiger Clan, but by Tian Xu, the second ancestor of the White Tiger Clan, who casually mentioned it.

However, Tianxu was a madman who only knew how to fight. Although the White Tiger Clan agreed to the rules he set, no one paid attention to them. Pure blood was pure blood, and mixed blood was mixed blood. This point was not to be blurred or changed in the White Tiger Clan.

Therefore, after Bai Yi became the pure-blooded young master of the Hundred Battles Clan, he found that his situation had worsened rather than improved. In the White Tiger Clan, whether it was the high-ranking elders or the pure-blooded young masters and mixed-blood young masters, they all hated him, which caused all of his original nearly 10,000 followers to leave him and join the ranks of other young masters.

In fact, if Bai Yi hadn't immediately left the White Tiger Clan's ancestral home after realizing something was wrong, even his small group of people would have been taken over by other young masters.

"Who am I? I'm just someone who's heard things secondhand, but judging from your expression, it all seems to be true."

Taiwei looked at Bai Yi and said calmly. Beside Taiwei, Shenxiao looked at Taiwei and was somewhat surprised that Taiwei knew so much about the rules of the White Tiger Clan.

However, looking at the aggressive Taiwei now, Shenxiao seemed to have a new understanding of Taiwei. The Taiwei at this moment was completely different from the one who had discussed the Dao with him before.

"What's the point of your nonsense? Do you think knowing the White Tiger Clan's internal rules will make me spare your life?"

Bai Yi clenched his fist, and a clear, bright blade of light suddenly appeared. His imposing and domineering aura locked onto Taiwei. At this moment, Bai Yi had changed his original goal. Compared to subduing the Thunder Spirit and Wind Soul Clan, he now wanted to tear Taiwei to pieces!

"After saying all that, the main point is this: since you can't make it in the White Tiger Clan, why don't you join me?"

Taiwei looked at Bai Yi with an unchanged smile. Beside Taiwei, even Shenxiao, who was in a heavy mood, frowned and looked at Taiwei.

Putting aside the question of how to explain it to Bai Yi if Taiwei were to actually accept him, Shenxiao believed that Bai Yi would never choose to submit to Taiwei.

Bai Yi is, after all, the young master of the White Tiger Clan. Regardless of whether he is of mixed or pure blood, as long as he has this status, he can be considered one of the top second-generation figures in the Five Domains. Taiwei is a Golden Immortal, whose cultivation is not as high as Bai Yi's, and he is also a rogue cultivator. It is impossible for him to make Bai Yi submit.
