Ghost Kings
In TGCF, the "bad guys " are known as Ghost Kings or the Four Great Calamities. These are individuals
that have died and haven't been able to pass into the afterlife. Their souls have
remained, and they've turned into ghosts. These four characters are all the rank
of Supreme with the exception of one.
Hua Cheng ‐ 花城
"flower", "city"
Four Calamities Title: Crimson Rain Sought Flower
Other Titles: San Lang, Honghong-er, Wu Ming, Little Red
Hua Cheng is a fearsome king of ghosts and the terror of the Heavens. He dresses in his signature red robes and controls "vicious" silver butterflies. His cursed weapon is a scimitar known as E-ming. His first infamous act as a ghost king was defeating and humiliating 33 gods in combat and linguistics and burning every single temple in one night. His power and wealth are unmatched in any of the realms. He has many worshippers and many enemies, but often that line is blurred with his enemies being worshippers and vice versa. He is married to Xie Lian.

He Xuan ‐ 贺玄
"congratulate", "black," "mysterious"Four Calamities Title: Ship-Sinking Black Water
Other Titles: "Ming Yi"
He Xuan is disguised as Earth Master "Ming Yi" for the majority of TGCF.
He is a mysterious and reclusive water ghost who rules the South Sea. Like Hua Cheng, he was one of the ghosts that survived Mount Tonglu and became a supreme. He is controlled by a ceaseless hunger for revenge.
As Ming Yi: He was disguised as Ming Yi for many centuries and cultivated a strong friendship with Shi Qingxuan. Although founded on a fake identity, the friendship "Ming Yi" held for Shi Qingxuan seems to be real.

Bai Wuxiang ‐ 白无相
"White No-Face"Four Calamities Title: White-Clothed Calamity"
Other Titles: Crown Prince of Wuyong
White No-Face is the original supreme ghost king. He is incredibly obsessive and controlling of Xie Lian, but he is extremely intelligent. He has the power to control events to hurt someone mentally, and has an unwaivering goal to make Xie Lian realise that someone's heart can't remain pure and uncorrupt after suffering greatly. He is quick to use one's mental instability and their vulnerability to his own advantage. He once comforted Xie Lian when he was miserable, but turned around and used that moment to prove to Xie Lian the world is against him and wants to do him harm. Despite that, he is extremely sensitive and fragile and quick to anger especially when things don't go his way. His entire being was born from a short phrase Xie Lian said that personally offended him.

Qi Rong ‐ 戚容
"face of sorrow"Four Calamities Title: Night-Touring Green Lantern
Other Titles: Green Ghost Qi Rong, Xiao Jing"Small Mirror"
Qi Rong is an attractive young man sharing a resemblance to his cousin, Xie Lian He is incredibly crass and emotionally immature. He lacks empathy with people describing him as crude and boorish. Though he hates these insults, he hasn't made any attempt to change his behaviour. He has no control over his anger and often throws childish temper tantrums. He's sarcastic and spoiled. He holds no respect for anyone, but he fears some people like Hua Cheng. Qi Rong is the only ghost king with the rank of savage, not supreme.
