The great demon lurking in the shadows was called Bai Fu, dressed in a hidden blue Taoist robe, with his hair styled in a scholarly topknot, looking very human.
From his surname, one can tell that he comes from the Bai Ze Clan.
Ten thousand years ago, when the first Monster Emperor died upon the belly of a monsteress, the Bai Ze Clan cloaked their presence and withdrew from the Eight Kings group chat, refusing to bow down to later successors.
Arrogant and mysterious, unseen for ten millennia, everyone thought the clan had perished.
In reality, after stepping down, the Bai Ze Clan departed for the outer perimeter of the Greater Desolation and took refuge in the treasured land of the Phoenix Clan, avoiding the world and not vying for supremacy, laying low for ten thousand years.
They aided the Phoenix Clan in guarding the Heaven and Earth Gateway and, due to their flawless calculations, earned the Phoenix Clan's respect.
