Heibei Laoliu hailed from a lineage of Shaanxi-Gansu saber-wielding assassins. Generation after generation, his ancestors belonged to the Huang Sect, and he was the sole member of the Nine Gates who single-handedly carried an entire sect on his shoulders.
In the late 1940s, he was ambushed at a brothel using a hexagonal copper bell, which drove him into a frenzy where he accidentally killed the woman he loved with his own hands. Afterward, he was besieged by a group of mysterious figures and nearly died on the spot—an incident that once shook Changsha as the "Brothel Murder Case."
Although intervention from the Nine Gates spared him at the hands of the local Military Control Commission, Heibei Laoliu was utterly disillusioned from that day onward. He grew perpetually dejected and gloomy, even becoming capricious and erratic. According to official records, his end came six years later when he was beaten to death during a street brawl in Changsha.
