Biography

Submission at the Poison Hall

He initially relies on rank and poison expertise, but Zhang Xuan exposes his limitations and gains control of the encounter. Gu Mu subsequently cooperates with Zhang Xuan's party and reappears with Jin Conghai, embarrassed that they once overestimated an opponent whom Sun Qiang can now dismiss. (Chapters 279–285, 387, 428–473)

Appearance and personality

He is proud and threatening when protected by office, then pragmatic once the balance of power becomes undeniable. (Chapters 279–285, 387, 428–473)

Abilities and cultivation

Gu Mu possesses formal poison training, combat cultivation, and access to the Poison Hall. Zhang Xuan's superior diagnosis and toxin control neutralize those advantages. (Chapters 279–285, 387, 428–473)

Relationships

Zhang Xuan compels his cooperation; Jin Conghai is his recurring companion. Sun Qiang's later improvement underscores how far Gu Mu's relative standing has fallen. (Chapters 279–285, 387, 428–473)
