"The Immortal Hunters?" Xu Lu asked in a puzzled tone as she stared at the elderly woman sitting down across from her.
The brothel madam reached for a wrapped-up bundle of tobacco leaves and slowly lit the bottom of the bundle using a match.
She placed the leaves in her mouth and inhaled slowly. A heavy fog of foul-smelling smoke left her mouth as she exhaled.

"Whispers and gossips meant to frighten young children and make the naïve believe that cultivators can really die."
"That there is a group of mortal hunters able to track down and kill cultivators who do evil. It sounds straight out of a fairy tale."
"I'm only mentioning it because you wanted to hear about all the rumors floating around the city when the disciples disappeared."
