Bandit Leader.
Murderous ghost.
Xiahou Chi, who fell into a den of bandits since childhood, survived by killing.
For survival, he killed the scholar who had begged him for mercy.
For life, he robbed others of their last provisions.
To avoid being killed, he took the initiative to slay bandits, thus becoming a highway robber.
That's just the way of the world, if you're not vicious, the vicious will bully you.
Fending off mortals, immortals, demons, day and night, forever on edge, he finally made it to the present.
Successfully entering the Jinxian Sect was a change in his life, even if Big Senior Brother was odd, preaching daily about saving the world, and occasionally torturing them with his White Fire, claiming it'd sharpen their wit.
And then there were those Inner Sect Senior Brothers who, when they had nothing better to do, would beat him up, saying something about a cultivation boost, telling them not to talk nonsense.
