Elder Gan Yao, the palace master of Ganyao Mountain in Tianjue Sect. He orchestrated the blood array sacrifice of his own disciple Shen Changxue to save another disciple named Dong'er after Shen Changxue failed to return with the spiritual herb. He is ruthless and pragmatic, showing no compassion for Shen Changxue despite raising him for years. He forced a satisfied laugh during the sacrifice and dismissed Lingze's objections, claiming her mercy was just pretense.
