Background / History

Zhao Yun was implicated by his father Zhao Bahuang's actions from childhood. Zhao Bahuang was deceived by the barbarians in Soul Severing Valley; Zhao Yun was subsequently castrated, cursed by others, and unable to cultivate. His mother was also killed by Zhao Bahuang. Despite this, Zhao Yun did not turn against the Human Race. 469 499

He endured cold poison and a period as a beggar in Changsheng City before rising from the Flowing Clouds Outer Sect. Through relentless training and an unwavering will, he learned to guide qi into his body and became a Land Immortal. 469 530

During the conflict at Demon Slaying Abyss and Soul Severing Valley, Zhao Yun protected Li Hongluan, resisted the five Great Immortal Sect Masters, and refused to kneel even while gravely wounded. Tang Kun recognized him as a true martial artist and considered him more deserving than Zhao Bahuang of being called the Human Race's foremost genius. 465 466 472

After Tang Kun's death, Zhao Yun warned villages of the Barbarian Tribe's advance by burning supplies that could otherwise sustain the invaders. Although Immortal Sect members accused him of betraying Tang Kun, he continued fighting the barbarian forces and protecting civilians. 474 475

Appearance

Zhao Yun is a pale, thin young man with an unhealed facial wound during the defense of Mount Fuyun. In battle, he is repeatedly described as standing straight-backed with an imposing, righteous presence. 480 494

• Often fights mounted on a white horse formerly belonging to Yao Xue'er. 491
• His eyes can emit an azure or deep-blue glow when the demon core activates. 465 499
• His aura is frequently compared to an immortal descending to the mortal world. 476 500
• Blood from prolonged combat often covers him, giving him an Asura-like appearance. 477

Personality

Zhao Yun is defined by endurance, dignity, and a refusal to surrender. Even when overwhelmed by powerful cultivators, he rejects humiliation and insists that a warrior must retain his dignity. 466

He is compassionate but practical in war. He accepts being hated for burning villages when doing so gives civilians time to flee and denies the Barbarian Tribe resources. He also repeatedly risks his life to protect comrades and civilians rather than seek personal safety. 474 470 512

As a commander, Zhao Yun teaches frightened soldiers to fight for themselves and those they wish to protect. His certainty and example inspire deserters, civilians, sect warriors, and cavalrymen to resist overwhelming armies. 480 481 492

Abilities & Skills

Spearmanship

Zhao Yun's primary discipline is spear combat. His spear techniques combine speed, precision, overwhelming force, and control over spiritual energy.

Demon Core

Zhao Yun possesses a demon core believed to have belonged to a Heaven Demon Race powerhouse. It is the source of his unusual growth and forms a connection with Ye Nishang. 465 470

• Ordinary spears and swords — Frequently used and broken in extended combat due to Zhao Yun's immense power. 475 492

Relationships
