The Ghosthand Sect's junior pickmaster, Xing Qiushan, stumbled his way to the gates of an old residence east of the Houtang City God[1] Temple and banged on the gates.

Li Banfeng ended up killing three of Xing Qiushan's subordinates and injuring the remaining two. Xing Qiushan himself had also taken a hit.
