Hao Gate

The Hao Gate is an information sect of murim that lives by gathering and selling intelligence. Unlike the Beggars' Sect, they bet on sensation and "yellow press," seizing on the flashiest conclusion, which is why few sects hold them in esteem. The Hao Gate has regional branches: the Sichuan branch is led by Jin Gong, with Wi Chan as his deputy.

The Hao Gate has long recruited those who blurt out the flashiest conclusion first. Their spy Wi Chan, who has worked the Gate for over ten years, brings branch head Jin Gong an incredible report of an art of restored youth, and the elders gather secretly in a cellar, unable to make sense of what they hear. For Han Seojin, the Hao Gate's attention is a constant threat to his quiet disguise.
