Gu Yue Chi Shan

Inside the Gu Yue clan, students at the academy year-end examination treat him with Gu Yue Qing Shu and Gu Yue Mo Yan as rising-star Gu Masters, and the text places him as Gu Yue Chi Shan from the Chi faction, a huge red tower of a figure watching Gu Yue Chi Cheng among the graduates. ^{ch. 82} Later wording lists the Chi faction’s Chi Shan group beside Qing Shu’s clan-leader group and Mo Yan’s Mo faction group as the three best-performing teams at the intake. ^{ch. 87}

When Fang Yuan is forced under Chi Shan for a beast-tide sortie, Chi Cheng is already in the group and stays quiet under Chi Shan’s authority, and the narration treats that unit as one of the clan’s three strongest groups.

When the River Swallowing Toad blocks a river channel near the village, Gu Yue Chi Lian offers to send a member of his Chi family for the first wake attempt, and the hall assigns the work to the Chi Shan group, with everyone present already knowing whom Chi Lian means. That line places Chi Shan inside Chi Lian’s Chi family circle as the strength specialist the elders approve, without naming a closer kinship such as son, grandson, or nephew of Chi Lian, and without stating a blood tie to Chi Cheng beyond shared faction and group command. ^{ch. 117}

After his group fails to wake the sleeping toad, Chi Shan reports to the elder hall, refuses to leave the problem there, and recommends Fang Yuan as someone with greater strength than himself. ^{ch. 118} Gu Yue Chi Lian asks him whether Fang Yuan’s power can match his, and Chi Shan answers that Fang Yuan’s Black Boar Gu work has brought Fang Yuan’s strength to a level that does not lose to his own.

When Xiong clan envoy Xiong Li arrives, Chi Shan meets the party at the warning line and later loses a public strength contest to him at the village gate. ^{ch. 121} Chi Shan admits Xiong Li holds two bears’ strength through Brown Bear Innate Strength Gu and Grand Bear Gu, yields the Qing Mao Mountain strongest-person title, and redirects the challenge toward Fang Yuan rather than keep taking the clan’s loss alone. ^{ch. 121} On clan orders he then pays Fang Yuan two hundred primeval stones to avoid that contest for alliance interest reasons, and states plainly that the order comes from the higher-ups. ^{ch. 123} Alliance-slope talk still recalls that public loss when naming Xiong Li Qing Mao Mountain’s strongest man. ^{ch. 125}

Crowd talk during the wolf tide says Bai Ning Bing injured Chi Shan while suppressing cultivation to rank two and picking fights with rank two elites. ^{ch. 132} Qing Shu later warns his group that Bai Ning Bing has been challenging people while sealed to rank two red steel essence and has already troubled Xiong Li, Chi Shan, and others. ^{ch. 138} Under wolf-tide pressure after Qing Shu’s death, Chi Shan and Mo Yan advance from rank two upper stage to peak stage, and the text treats that rise as a morale lift for the clan. ^{ch. 145} He is still leading the Chi Shan group when he receives Xiong Jiao Man’s request for reinforcements after Xiong village is surrounded, and he brings the envoys into Gu Yue village to report to the clan leader. ^{ch. 147}
