Thirty years ago, Tong Chen used the Illusion Realm to kill the Four Thieves as well as a host of their enemies in Lanruo Temple.
Though the people were dead, their belongings… were still intact.
The avengers naturally wouldn't carry anything too valuable, but the Four Thieves were different; they each had some personal treasures.
The "Gluttonous Thief" Han Li, for instance, had a secret recipe book that he somehow obtained from Tai He Gong.
Many may not recognize Tai He Gong, but another name should be familiar to you, that of Zhuan Zhu, one of the four great assassins in the "Records of the Grand Historian: Assassins."
Legend has it that to help Prince Ji Guang assassinate King Liao of Wu, Zhuan Zhu specifically learned the skill of grilling fish from Tai He Gong by Tai Lake for three years. After mastering the skill, he used King Liao's fondness for "grilled fish" to lure him to Prince Ji Guang's residence, where he famously hid a sword in a fish's belly.
