Listening to the discussions around them, Lin Qingzhu and Song Guowei, who were not familiar with these matters, couldn't help but look at Bai Jingchuan.

From the moment Ning Wangshu engaged in combat with Master Pingyang, the terrifying strength and various techniques he displayed left Lin Qingzhu and the others utterly shocked.

However, seeing that Master Pingyang was now so frightened by Ning Wangshu that he fled in panic, only to be stopped by Ning Wangshu, Lin Qingzhu and the others were completely reassured and no longer worried about Ning Wangshu's safety.

At this moment, hearing others mention the matter concerning the Taiyi Sect, Lin Qingzhu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master Bai, is it true what they're saying about all the forces in the seven southeastern provinces having to pay tribute to the Taiyi Sect? What's going on?"
