Gu Shuangpu: The sleeper agent buried in Yellow Dragon Mountain
Gu Shuangpu is an elder of the Beast Taming Sect who has spent centuries buried inside Yellow Dragon Mountain as a Moulan sleeper agent. He fishes for information, then frames Han Li, then strikes — poisoning the commander Lu Yuanzhen with a twin-tailed jade serpent. His secret voice-transmission is intercepted in full by Han Li, and the alliance closes the net on him.

FAQ
Is Gu Shuangpu a good man?
No. He is a Moulan sleeper agent planted at Yellow Dragon Mountain, buried for centuries to strike once at the decisive moment.
Why doesn't Han Li expose him on the spot?
There is no public proof and the sect could deny it; worse, cornering him might drive him to destroy the formation's core. Han Li sets his net privately instead and waits for him to reach.
