Background / History

The Guiding Emissary was assigned to receive and investigate Xiao Hua at the Immortal Realm gate. He borrowed the Xingtian Immortal Artifact from the Palace of Punishment, despite having served there a hundred lifetimes earlier and no longer remembering how to operate it properly. His mishandling triggered the artifact’s Black Qi Kill and White Light Kill during Xiao Hua’s passage through the gate. 30

He then impersonated Xu Zhi in an attempt to deceive Xiao Hua into revealing what he knew. Xiao Hua recognized the deception, however, reasoning that Xu Zhi would not allow personal matters to interfere with official duty. 29

The emissary is identified as Wang Lang and described as a clone capable of condensing an Immortal Mark—an abnormality for an Immortal Realm clone. His true form and the purpose behind this exceptional clone remain unclear. 13

Appearance

After his silver radiance recedes, the Guiding Emissary appears as a handsome humanoid in date-colored clothing. 29

• Long face and thick eyebrows. 29
• Often surrounded by silver immortal radiance. 29 30
• Bears an Immortal Mark on his forehead; it was badly cracked after Xiao Hua’s counterattack. 29 30
• Can alter both his appearance and spiritual pressure to resemble a Mortal Immortal. 40

Personality

The Guiding Emissary is calculating, vindictive, and intensely concerned with avoiding responsibility to his superiors. After failing to capture Xiao Hua, he considers messaging his senior disciple sister to seek leniency before reporting to his Hall Master. 31

He repeatedly underestimates Xiao Hua, then adapts his methods after being outmaneuvered. He becomes more cautious following his injuries, disguises himself as a Mortal Immortal, and plans to seize Xiao Hua with “Thunderous Means” rather than repeat his earlier mistake. 30 40

Story Role / Major Arcs

Ambush at the Immortal Realm Gate

The Guiding Emissary appears as the false Xu Zhi who confronts Xiao Hua before the Immortal Realm gate fully closes. He attempts to restrain and interrogate Xiao Hua, but Xiao Hua summons over a hundred Scattered Infants and forms the Golden Crow Immortal Slaying Demonic Array. The resulting Immortal Slaying Platform strikes the emissary’s Immortal Spirit Body and damages his Immortal Mark. 29

Reception Hall Pursuit

After Xiao Hua escapes the damaged Reception Hall, the emissary retrieves the Xingtian Immortal Artifact, treats his injuries with a fifth-grade Immortal Pill, and concludes that Xiao Hua’s Scattered Infant body cannot endure the Autumn Hair Moon Essence for long. 30

He activates a teleportation array and tracks Xiao Hua tens of thousands of miles away. Seeking compensation for his losses and humiliation, he resolves to seize Xiao Hua’s more than one hundred Immortal Infants. 32

Hunt Through Yunmeng Marsh

The emissary continues hunting Xiao Hua through Yunmeng Marsh, briefly sealing him in with an Azure Cloud Leopard Beast before Xiao Hua escapes through a light-and-shadow dimension. 36

After discovering that Xiao Hua hid inside a bear beast corpse to evade Emanated Thought, he changes into the guise of a Mortal Immortal and redirects his pursuit toward Helan Que, where he expects Xiao Hua to seek Spirit Cleansing Liquid. 40

Trivia

• Xiao Hua’s attack left the Guiding Emissary with enough lingering fear that he decided not to act again without absolute confidence. 30
• He dismisses the Reception Hall’s depleted Spirit Cleansing Pool as a fraud after finding it stripped of resources. 32
• His ability to condense an Immortal Mark despite being a clone is presented as evidence that his true form is extraordinary. 13
