History
Sunset Glow Village and Lu Ping’s recruitment
The gang arrived at Sunset Glow Village after its massacre, captured the surviving Lu Ping and sent him to its mine. Its leader later admitted that the gang had also looted a Spirit Stone and a strange token from a black-robed corpse at the village; the gang had not carried out the massacre 1 32.
After returning from his first simulation, Lu Ping held up a collapsing mine beam long enough for the other slaves to escape. His strength and flattery impressed the Gang Leader, who freed him from mine work and admitted him as an official member 9 10.
Simulated futures
In Lu Ping’s first simulation, he was transferred from the mine to the back kitchen. After years of abuse, the kitchen supervisor sent him to the front line as cannon fodder in a conflict with a neighboring sect. Lu Ping survived by playing dead, but the gang and its leaders were destroyed 2 5.
In his second simulation, the Gang Leader tested Lu Ping’s strength and grew suspicious of him. Qian Cuihua intervened and took Lu Ping under her protection, giving him cultivation pills and access to the gang’s affairs. During this period, the Blood Sha Sect seized three of the gang’s outlying strongholds 11 12 13.
The Gang Leader later moved against Qian Cuihua, whose influence he feared. Lu Ping killed Zhao Tiezhu during the attempt, looted the warehouse and escaped through a drainage ditch as the gang went into lockdown 15 16.
Change of leadership
Back in reality, Lu Ping retrieved the Demonic Spirit Stone and strange token from the warehouse and confronted the gang’s leaders about their origins. When the Gang Leader ordered an attack, Lu Ping killed him, Zhao Tiezhu and Qian Cuihua with a burst of spiritual power, then subdued the remaining members 32 33.
Lu Ping chose not to dismantle the gang. He abolished mine slavery, allowed the former slaves to leave with silver and rations, and ordered Hu Dayou to use paid labor instead. Workers were to receive food and treatment for injuries and be free to leave. Uncle Sun became bookkeeper to keep watch over the new arrangements 33 34.
Before leaving for the Greenwood Sect, Lu Ping gave Hu Dayou Body Tempering Pills and asked him to keep the gang’s people alive 35.
