## History

### Before Season 2

In the flashback in Two Heroes, Blue Phoenix has a checklist with a list of sect names. One of the names was the Flying Bird Sect. He sought out members of different sects to kill in order to become a Shadow Killer.

### Season 3

In Tenderness of a Tough Man, Eleven gets kidnapped by some Flying Bird Sect disciples, and He Dachun goes to save her. The de facto leader of the sect, Bai Zhuoxia, claims Eleven stole a rare book that taught Flying Bird techniques, but in reality he gave it to her as a courting gift. However, she did not return his feelings so he tried to capture and kill her. He Dachun defeats Bai Zhuoxia and the sect's disciples, and Eleven returns the book.

In Who Is the One You Want to Protect, Black Bird, a former master of the Flying Bird Sect, appears. Eleven reveals that the Flying Bird sect used to be much stronger and that it had two leaders, Black Bird and White Bird. The sect was split into two factions under the two leaders, and the factions studied different techniques. Eventually, Black Bird and White Bird had a disagreement, which resulted in them having a duel. Black Bird lost, so he left the Flying Bird Sect along with his faction. White Bird was wounded in the fight and went into seclusion to recover. Many experts in the sect also left, only leaving behind rookies from the White Bird faction.

### Season 4

In S04E01, it is revealed in Black Bird's flashbacks that, rather than the two factions having a disagreement and splitting up, the Flying Bird Sect's master allowed for the Black Bird faction to be all killed in order to cover up their dirty work done to raise the sect up in power and ranking.
