After Lu Xu and Zhao Yiming joined forces, Gao Changqing and Liu Hao naturally formed an alliance as well.
Liu Hao was one of Su Xin's old hands. His strength was average, and he was fond of food, drink, and amusement, but one thing couldn't be denied: he had seniority.
Gao Changqing, on the other hand, had been personally recruited by Su Xin. He had already reached the Half-Step Primordial Spirit Realm, and was likely to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm soon. He lacked neither strength nor ability; the only thing he lacked was seniority.
