One of Zhongyuan’s seven powerful clans, the Baek Clan, is the father of Baek Yigang. He is destined to live a shorter life and be unable to store internal energy due to the Taiyin Qi Blockage. He was surprised by a gang of persons wearing masks when he was contentedly spending the remainder of his days inside. He lost his servant, who was to him like a sister, in the ambush. Baek Yigang fled by way of a covert subterranean passage while being pursued by the assailants. He picked up a rusted sword that was embedded in the ground after coming across a blocked passage and deciding he would at least die fighting.
