Fire Dragon Immortal Monarch
The Flying Heaven Gate Leader of the Kongtong Sect, master of a unique immortal art, the Samadhi True Fire.
He has an Eldest Disciple, Danxiazi, who saw him as a threat to his position and tricked him into going to the Song and Jin battlefield to die. He also has a Direct Disciple, Yu Xiaomei, and backs Venerable Golden Crow, trying to win more power in the struggle over the position of Sect Leader.
Over twenty years ago he took part in the Qingcheng Discourse, where his twisted reading of the Daoist texts sank Zhao Kui's Dao heart, and Zhao Kui later fell and became the Dharma King of the Hell Path of the Mud Cult. Because of this he made an enemy of Zou Bo.
