There had originally been five experts who had entered from Southeast Asia, all of them powerful Hero Class fighters.

Killing people in the Spirit Realm felt different from killing fellow humans on Earth.
Bai Xiaowen, for example, had killed fewer than ten people on Earth, and every one of those deaths had come in self-defense, when he had been forced to fight back.
Zhalun and the others, by contrast, each had more than a hundred deaths on Earth to their names! Killing their fellow humans weighed on them not at all.
