"Only people with real ability can make those in power lose their appetite and sleep!"
"An ordinary mediocrity, heh... who would care about him?"
"Wouldn't you agree?"
The white-haired youth turned to look at the woman in red.
The woman in red flattered him. "You're right, boss!"
"But... what deep-seated grudge does this Heavenly Fire Divine Emperor have against He Pingsheng? Why go to such lengths?"

The four of them were rogue cultivators.
Moreover, they were evil cultivators notorious throughout the Spirit Realm.
The four often worked together, specializing in murder and robbery. They had also handled dirty business for quite a few people, serving as their gloves.

The Heavenly Fire Divine Emperor, Tian Jinpeng, had known for a long time.
Unfortunately, although he knew He Pingsheng was in Vermilion Bird Emperor City, he simply could not find him.
Take Lone Pine Mountain, for instance. After He Pingsheng, Zhou Qingmei, and Qiao Huizhu entered Lone Pine Mountain, they almost never went out, while Hao Cang was the one publicly in charge.
