If Bai Zihan knew, Elder Wu thought that Bai Zihan should also be taken care of.
He couldn't risk the Sect's secret being known by others.
Elder Wu foolishly thought that by capturing Bai Zihan, he could make a deal with the Li-Zhao Clans and perhaps even use this chance to deal with the Bai Clan altogether.
With Bai Zihan in hand, threatening the Bai Clan or Bai Tianheng would also become possible.
And then there was Jin Yuelin—by capturing her, he could guarantee that Jin Yuanzhan kept his mouth shut.
Thinking foolishly and hastily, Elder Wu convinced himself it made more sense the more he thought about it.
His killing intent surged higher, his Qi storming through the corridor, as his mind painted victory before the battle had even begun.
But across from him, Bai Zihan's eyes gleamed—sharp, mocking, as though he could already see the laughable delusion written across Elder Wu's face.
"Well, not like it is a bad idea!"
