For example, Wen Yunhe

The next morning,

Jiang Heng arrived at the Fifth Peak, the main cultivation hall of the sect.

As soon as he entered, Bai Haocang's gaze fell upon Jiang Heng.

"Hmm?"

Bai Haocang's eyes flickered.

"Your cultivation has indeed advanced rapidly. What's your True Qi Realm now?"

Jiang Heng hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth:

"Tenfold!"

Bai Haocang nodded and didn't inquire further.

"Well done. Since you've made a breakthrough in your cultivation, the resource subsidy I promised earlier will be recorded as 100 contribution points per day for you. As for martial arts at the True Qi Realm, you can go to the Scripture Pavilion to have a look. If you cultivate any of the True Qi martial arts to perfection, I will teach you more advanced martial arts techniques."

Jiang Heng scratched his head.

"Only 100 contribution points per day? Isn't that almost the same as before?"

Bai Haocang calmly replied:

"If you don't need it, then it's gone."

"Furthermore, half a month ago, I had your information modified, registering you as an inner disciple. So the previous 100 contribution points per day for you as an outer disciple will no longer apply. You can change your identity badge later."

Jiang Heng quickly said:

"No, no! 100 points are enough. I need them!"

Bai Haocang glanced at him.

"After entering the inner sect, everyone's cultivation resources require contribution points for exchange. Having 100 contribution points per day is already a great favor. Don't be ungrateful."

Jiang Heng silently calculated.

With 100 contribution points, he could only buy ten Qi-Blood Pills. While it was indeed a generous resource for an ordinary person, it didn't amount to much considering his current upgrade requirements.

Moreover, in the past month, Jiang Heng had grown accustomed to upgrading recklessly, and the sudden decrease in resources did create a slight psychological gap.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset.

It was just contribution points, and with his strength, earning them should be relatively easy.

At this point, Bai Haocang continued:

"Furthermore, now that you've returned to the sect, there's something I can tell you."

"Previously, the Nascent Realm expert who tried to assassinate you was one of the sect's protectors, named Leisong."

Jiang Heng furrowed his brows.

"The sect's protector tried to assassinate me? Who ordered it?"

"One of the core elders of the sect, Sun Feiyu."

"Sun Feiyu?"

Jiang Heng pondered for a moment but couldn't figure it out.

"Why did he order an assassination against me?"

"Because your father killed his only son."

"Revenge for his son! No wonder!"

Jiang Heng sighed and casually said, "But since it's connected to me, there will come a day when I have to kill him."

Bai Haocang remained noncommittal, his expression still calm as he briefly recounted past events.

"Back then, your father and Sun Feiyu's son, Sun Xing, were both peak talents of the sect. From outer disciples to inner disciples and then to core disciples, they were always rivals. But your father consistently outperformed Sun Xing."

"Sun Xing was the son of an elder in the sect, boasting a noble background and extraordinary talent. He was always filled with pride. Your father, on the other hand, was a commoner with outstanding talent, rising steadily and consistently outperforming him. This made Sun Xing resentful."

"Then, one day, when Sun Xing's cultivation breakthrough, he challenged your father to a duel. However, he still lost. Consumed by jealousy, Sun Xing suddenly launched a sneak attack. Your father, caught off guard, fought back hastily and accidentally killed Sun Xing."

"In this matter, the fault lay with Sun Xing, and the sect didn't punish your father."

"As for Sun Feiyu, despite his anger, he couldn't do anything to your father due to sect rules. So, he resorted to various means to cause your father some minor troubles."

"Even when your father later became a core elder of the sect, he was on equal footing with Sun Feiyu at that time."

Jiang Heng listened quietly, then smirked and said, "So, Sun Feiyu is nothing more than an incompetent person. He couldn't do anything to my father back then, and now he wants to bully me, a junior."

Bai Haocang glanced at him.

"If you say this in front of others, Sun Feiyu might use it as an excuse to discipline you for showing disrespect."

Jiang Heng chuckled.

"I'm only speaking my mind in front of my master!"

With that, his expression turned serious.

"So, regarding my parents' death, was Sun Feiyu involved in any way?"

The fusion of two souls, possibly because of the more mature Jiang Heng's soul from the Water Blue Star, had mainly retained his consciousness.

But inevitably, he was influenced by the young Jiang Heng.

If there was any hidden truth behind his parents' death, he naturally had to seek revenge!

"When your parents fell, Elder Sun was naturally one of the prime suspects."

"However, after investigation, it was found that your parents' death had nothing to do with him. Because before your parents' demise, Elder Sun had been practicing as usual in the main cultivation hall."

"In fact, your parents' death was just a case of robbery and murder."

"Such incidents happen too often outside the wilderness, and with no leads, they usually go unsolved."

With that, Bai Haocang looked at Jiang Heng and, for a rare moment, smiled.

"However, if your parents knew about your current talent and achievements, they would rest in peace."

Jiang Heng nodded silently.

From his memories, he learned that his parents had been troubled by his cultivation talent. They had heard about an auction for Heavenly Pills that could enhance one's talent and set off to obtain them. Unfortunately, they both perished on their way back.

"By the way, Sun Feiyu, he shouldn't bother me anymore, right? With my current strength, dealing with the small actions of a core elder of the sect still falls short."

At this moment, Jiang Heng suddenly asked.

Bai Haocang shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry! Since it was found out that Elder Sun was responsible, the sect will certainly not turn a blind eye. I've already convened a special Elder Council meeting to punish him."

"At least for a short period, he won't trouble you anymore."

Jiang Heng nodded with a smile.

"Since Master has taken action, I can rest assured. As long as I have some time to grow, I won't be afraid of Sun Feiyu."

Bai Haocang looked at him thoughtfully.

"Everyone has their own opportunities, and I won't interfere. But remember, in front of others, you must maintain an appropriate low profile."

"In this world, there will always be people with ill intentions."

Jiang Heng smiled and nodded in agreement.

However, what Bai Haocang said next left him stunned.

"For example... Elder Wen, Wen Yunhe."

Wen Yunhe was the father of Wen Qingxue.

Previously, although he had no particular fondness for this person, he never thought that there might be any ill intent from him.

He looked at Bai Haocang in surprise, waiting for what he would say next.

But Bai Haocang continued with the previous topic.

To be honest, Elder Sun, despite sending someone to kill you earlier, is actually a person with a very straightforward and simple character."

"So, when you first began to shine in the outer sect, I guessed that he might take unfavorable actions against you and warned him."

"Indeed, as you said, he is an incompetent person because his thoughts are too easily predictable."

At this point, Bai Haocang changed the subject.

"Do you think Elder Wen can predict his thoughts?"

Jiang Heng was suddenly taken aback.
