Background / History

Wu Yong is the legitimate son of Wu Du Xiu, the former Rank 8 pillar of the Wu Family. Though already a Rank 8 Gu Immortal, he was initially regarded as less talented and less formidable than other righteous-path Rank 8s. He grew up under Wu Du Xiu’s protection and authority, which constrained his ambition while she lived. 1216 1220

Before her death, Wu Du Xiu designated Wu Yong as heir to the Wu Family while reserving her personal inheritance for her illegitimate son, Wu Yihai. Wu Yong secretly recognized that his servant Xu Tuo was a Ba Family mole and allowed him to leak Wu Yihai’s route, intending for outside forces to eliminate his half-brother. At Wu Du Xiu’s funeral, he exposed Xu Tuo with prepared evidence, publicly assigning him blame for the ambush and clearing himself of the rumors of fratricide. 1216 1219

When Fang Yuan appeared under the identity of Wu Yihai, Wu Yong initially resisted acknowledging him. He regarded the returned brother as both a bloodline-based political threat and a potential link to the Qiao Family. Once recognition became unavoidable, Wu Yong accepted the situation, restricted “Wu Yihai’s” freedom, and used him when the Wu Family’s territorial disputes required capable personnel. 1220 1221 1304 1319

Wu Yong’s concealed combat strength became public during the Purple Blood First River Formation incident. He annihilated large numbers of Blood Beasts, revealed the Rank 8 Immortal Gu House Jade Clear Drip Wind Small Bamboo House, and established himself as a force the Southern Border righteous path could not ignore. 1344 1381

After Heavenly Court revealed that Fang Yuan had impersonated Wu Yihai, Wu Yong’s conflict with Fang Yuan became irreconcilable. He pursued Fang Yuan both to avenge the deception and to recover the six Immortal Gu and one hundred thousand Immortal Essence Stones Fang Yuan had taken from the Wu Family. 1381 1385 1599

Wu Yong later led the Southern Alliance against Heavenly Court during the Fate Gu war. He expended tens of thousands of wind path dao marks to deploy Infinite Wind, helped break successive formations, and used Friend Sending Wind to incapacitate Chen Yi. These actions greatly strengthened his prestige among Southern Border immortals. 1710 1713 1721

Following the war, he recovered, refined his killer moves, stabilized the Wu Family, captured the Seven Fiends of Fierce Gorge and their Seven-Seven Soul Bird inheritance, and continued pursuing opportunities such as Hu Land and the Fire Lightning True Inheritance. 2003 2074 2106 2107

Appearance

Wu Yong is an ordinary-looking, sturdy middle-aged man with long, narrow eyebrows that lend him a subtly sinister air. In contrast to Wu Yihai’s heroic resemblance to Wu Du Xiu, Wu Yong inherited his birth father’s plain and honest-looking appearance. 1220 1710

• Sturdy build. 1710
• Long, narrow eyebrows. 1710
• Deliberately unremarkable, plain appearance. 1220
• Projects an imposing presence when leading allied Gu Immortals. 1710

Personality

Wu Yong is patient, politically calculating, and highly concerned with legitimacy, reputation, and practical benefit. He hid both his knowledge of Xu Tuo’s betrayal and his own combat strength until disclosure would yield the greatest advantage. 1219 1385

He is capable of enduring humiliation and retreating when a direct fight is disadvantageous. After Feng Jiuge broke Four Clear Four Transformation Wind, Wu Yong chose a rational withdrawal rather than risk a decisive defeat against Feng Jiuge and Fang Yuan together. 1394 1395

Despite his ruthless pragmatism, Wu Yong is an effective leader who rewards merit, values loyal subordinates, and commands considerable loyalty within the Wu Family and Southern Alliance. 1314 1710 2074 2231

His hatred of Fang Yuan eventually gives way to a pragmatic willingness to cooperate when cooperation becomes more profitable than continued hostility. 2160
