The Four Supreme Tomes

"Grand Hermit Han Zhong? Immortal Beastmaster Xu Fu?"

Roused by King Wu of Qin's imposing aura, Jian Shang murmured the names, dimly recalling the two figures.

According to the history known to Otherworlders, the Records of the Grand Historian mentioned Xu Fu, Hou and Lu, Han Zhong, and Xu Shi. Han Zhong and Xu Shi were legendary, half-immortal figures known by name, both adepts of the Divine Immortal School.

In other words, Han Zhong and Xu Shi were historical figures at the very least—and renowned, half-immortal ones at that. In Forging the Sacred Court, they were genuine Loose Immortals.

With their standing in history, they must each have something extraordinary about them. The Great Qin Empire is declining, but a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Even Zhangchu State, widely regarded as the strongest rebel force, was swiftly crushed. How did Zhangchu persuade Han Zhong and Xu Shi to betray Great Qin and help them instead?

Puzzled, Jian Shang looked toward the Zhang Chu Breakout Army. The two Loose Immortals were deathly pale, staring up at King Wu of Qin in alarm. They seemed far weaker than him.

One wore a tall cap and ancient robes. His hair and beard were white, and he had the otherworldly bearing of an immortal sage, yet he also carried an aura of kingly authority—a strange combination.

The other was tall and powerfully built, dressed in purple-black martial attire. His sharp, savage eyes made him look like a burly man in his thirties or forties, but the ferocity rolling off him felt like that of a vicious beast.

Jian Shang could tell they were both Loose Immortals, but not which was which. He guessed the white-haired man was Grand Hermit Han Zhong, while the fierce, imposing one was Immortal Beastmaster Xu Fu.
