Qi Xiu did not immediately speak of the grievances between himself and Pei Zhonghao, but started with the Four Seas Gang.
"East Mountain Master Fang Ximu—her father, Fang Xuanyi, was the first leader of the Four Seas Gang. Forty years ago, the Four Seas Gang was founded by Fang Xuanyi, Pei Zhonghao, and others. In the very beginning, there were only a dozen or so people. Everyone shared cultivation formulas with each other and built up the Four Seas Gang until the number of members exceeded five hundred. At that point, it could no longer be kept under wraps, and the other immortal sects refused to tolerate it. They were then pursued by the Immortal Absorption Sect. Fang Xuanyi led the disciples of the gang to flee together toward Wuzhou. While handling the rear-guard defense, he was gravely injured by an Eighth Realm expert from the Immortal Absorption Sect and later died of his illness.
After entering Wuzhou, Pei Zhonghao was elected by everyone as the leader of the Four Seas Gang. To secure a foothold, he expanded recruitment, and I was specially recruited into the Four Seas Gang at that time. When we drove the Immortal Absorption Sect out of Wuzhou at Wanshou Palace, our vitality was severely damaged, yet Pei Zhonghao insisted on outward expansion. Although the other Zodiac Generals also agreed, that was when the hidden dangers were planted.
