It turned out that the ancestors of the Qu family possessed a special bloodline. Before the first-generation ancestor of the Qu family came to this place, he was not a native of the Beijing Kingdom at all. He had accidentally been hunted down, crossed a natural barrier, and tumbled into a black hole before arriving here. Millennia had passed, and the Qu family had taken root in the Beijing Kingdom generation after generation. Most of the Qu family members had poor spiritual roots, yet they possessed terrifying perseverance. Therefore, as a growing immortal cultivation family, they were nothing special elsewhere, but in the Beijing Kingdom, they counted as a major family of cultivators.
Back then, the ancestor of the Qu family had been hunted down for extermination because of his special bloodline, and later narrowly escaped. To his surprise, thousands of years later, the barrier at the place where the ancestor of the Qu family had escaped to had opened up and connected with the outside of the Cangyun Continent. Thus, after persisting for so long, descendants carrying the Qu family bloodline had kept searching for their whereabouts, until they finally found the Beijing Kingdom.
This was also the reason why Senior Sister Qu, after forming a Dao-companion bond with Gong Yuyao, had been repeatedly targeted for assassination.
