In the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, he was the almighty Demonic Blood Kirin who struck fear into the hearts of all of the ferocious beasts.
In the small city at the southeastern border of the Kingdom of the Nine States, he was a warm, gentle middle-aged man with kirin horns who liked to drink tea and discuss dao.
