In this way, his personality could be analyzed: an orphan from childhood who had undoubtedly suffered oppression and torment, whose only brother—the one person he depended on—was beaten to death by the scion of a noble family. After his inner force awakened, he began his revenge. In Baicao Country, he killed an Inner Qi Realm practitioner for the sake of Zhang Heng, who was suffering under state oppression. Afterward, he wiped out the Shadow of the Blue Sea, launched a massive slaughter against aristocratic families, and finally defeated the powerful Inner Qi Realm expert Puzhi in the Blue Sea, holding a public trial for him. All of these actions clearly indicated that he was the sort of impoverished genius who, upon acquiring power, immediately begins taking revenge on the class he despises.
Yet he had not gone mad with a desire to exterminate everyone. Although it was revenge, he retained a shred of sanity. For this very reason, he left the Red Sea immediately after putting Puzhi on trial.
This was initially Daoist Canghua's impression of Hao Qi, but once he actually laid eyes on Hao Qi, he realized his impression was completely wrong.
