Background / History
Zhao Yun was dispatched by Chen Ze to investigate the Mysterious Iron Ore mine. He reached it after two days of near-continuous travel, relying on Swallow Step for speed and the Breath Concealment Art to avoid danger. 25
At the mine, Zhao Yun fought the Ye Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators with the Roaming Dragon Spear and the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Spear technique. He and the other clones secured the mine, subdued its guards, and freed the cultivators who had been forced to work there. 37 38
Many of those rescued cultivators subsequently followed Zhao Yun through the demonic beast forest. After accepting responsibility for them, he founded the Wanze Sect with more than one hundred followers, promising that none would be abandoned while he had resources to share. 102 106
