Background

Before serving Prince Qin, Zhu Wushi was known for a scheme in which he killed 108 martial arts experts and absorbed their internal energy. His cultivation and strategic ability made him the leader of the summoned Dragon Guard Manor, a fifty-thousand-person intelligence organization distributed across Jingzhou, Taizhou, and Youzhou. 3

Upon Chu Xuanao's decision to contend for the throne, Zhu Wushi pledged to clear obstacles in his path. He became one of the prince's closest and most reliable subordinates, combining intelligence work, political enforcement, and direct battlefield command. 3 10

Dragon Guard Manor

Zhu Wushi commands Dragon Guard Manor's personnel and oversees its intelligence network.

• Dragon Guard Manor was summoned with a complete force of fifty thousand members and an existing industrial and intelligence structure across three provinces. 3
• He employs covert operatives such as He Ming, one of the Manor's Seventy-two Earthly Fiends. 56
• Under his direction, the organization expanded throughout Youzhou, pursuing Blood Lotus Sect members and Great Feng spies. 236
• He uses intelligence not only to identify enemies, but to shape political action, as shown by his exposure of the Wang Family's ties to the Blood Lotus Sect. 57 61

Personality

Zhu Wushi is composed, analytical, and intensely loyal to Chu Xuanao. He evaluates political forces pragmatically, dismissing gifts and flattering words as meaningless unless they are backed by genuine submission or utility. 60 61

He is also ruthless in executing his prince's will. In Hanshan Prefecture, he adopts a strict policy toward resistance, treats collusion with hostile forces as grounds for extermination, and uses public displays of force to establish authority. 55 62 71

Despite this severity, he recognizes useful talent and intelligence. After interrogating Yu Huo, he values the captive's analysis and proposes using the channels of the Blood Lotus Sect and the Boss's organization to place agents in Great Feng. 113

Abilities & Skills

Great Absorption Technique

Zhu Wushi's principal cultivation method absorbs and refines opponents' True Qi. Its capacity is enhanced by the Devouring Pill within his body. 3 98

• Absorbed Venerable Yanghuo's fire-attributed True Qi, then used the stolen energy offensively before it could be fully refined. 174 175
• Can absorb surrounding blood energy, allowing him to contend with blood-path cultivators within the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array. 196 203
• Could not initially consume Aobei's corrosive blood mist; the energy adhered to and eroded his True Qi on contact. 7

Devouring Pill

A unique Golden Core forged by combining the Dan Yun Art with the Great Absorption Technique. 98

• Compresses and solidifies his immense True Qi into pill form. 98
• Nurtures his soul, resolving the spiritual requirement needed for further Ascension Realm advancement. 98
• Elevates the power and refinement of the Great Absorption Technique. 98
• Its devouring nature makes the Spirit Devouring Grievance Shadow especially compatible with Zhu Wushi's future breakthrough. 148

Heaven and Earth Great Shift

A True Qi manipulation technique capable of seizing, compressing, and hurling large quantities of matter. 3

• Tore up earth and rock to bombard the foreign cultivators at Weihu Mountain. 5

• Gathered street snow and falling snowflakes into a sixty-to-seventy-meter snow dragon to assault the Wang Family. 61 62

• Prajna Zen Palm — used to defeat Venerable Yanghuo after draining his True Qi. 174
• Thousand-Hand palm forms — including Thousand Hands Arhat Palm, Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva Palm, and Thousand-Hand Tathagata Palm; overwhelm opponents with dense, rapid palm strikes. 174 196 201
• Shaolin Flower-Picking Finger and Doluoye Finger — used alongside his palms against Qiu Jiuyang and Kong Hen. 99 202
• His recited scripture and golden True Qi disperse vengeful spirits and suppress the Grievance Shadow Art. 99

Protective Qi and Physical Combat

Zhu Wushi's True Qi is described as stronger than that of many Peak Ascension Realm cultivators even while he was only at the Late Ascension Realm. 98

• Crushed Aobei's throat with a claw strike and killed Wang Hen by snapping his neck underfoot. 7 62

• A mysterious black claw can emerge from his back to intercept lethal attacks; it appears corporeal rather than composed of ordinary True Qi. 202

Items

• Spirit Devouring Grievance Shadow — a devouring heavenly treasure granted by Chu Xuanao for Zhu Wushi to use after perfecting his Peak Ascension Realm cultivation and attempting a Celestial Phenomenon Realm breakthrough. 148
• Imperial Clan token and communication mirror — entrusted to him for the covert pacification of Hanshan Prefecture and communication with Prince Qin. 41
