Background / History

Wang Yifeng was born into a scholarly family and became the sole inheritor of the Red Dust lineage. His mastery of its martial arts included the ability to probe other people's minds, but repeated use of that power created inner demons and halted his cultivation in middle age. 250

He later met the blind Wen Xiaoyue, whose pure heart gradually eased his inner demons. Her murder shattered that peace: Wang massacred tens of thousands in a city, gained the name Snow Demon, and broke through to Grandmaster. He eventually became the master of Villain Valley, transforming it into a force feared across the martial world, and later reached Great Grandmaster in his original life's history. 250

When summoned by Landen, he arrived at an earlier, bottlenecked stage despite retaining memories of his full life. Rather than rely on his former status, he pledged himself as Landen's soldier and proposed building a capable military force for the territory. 251

Appearance

Old Wang is a middle-aged, handsome, and wild-looking scholar. He is commonly seen in white robes with the Moon Burial Sword at his waist, though he can alter his appearance and dress as an ordinary civilian while conducting investigations. 250 299 322

• Carries himself with the composure of a refined martial artist.
• Often wears flowing white robes, which are frequently used in conjunction with his movement techniques. 299
• Keeps the Moon Burial Sword sheathed until combat demands it. 344
• Can convincingly disguise himself for covert intelligence work. 322

Personality

Old Wang is easygoing, humble, and self-assured without being arrogant toward allies. He is willing to acknowledge other people's expertise, ask questions openly, and serve under Landen despite once leading Villain Valley. 251 399

He remains calm under extreme danger, whether navigating laser defenses, facing constructs, or confronting stronger opponents. His confidence is generally based on careful judgment rather than recklessness. 298 363 612

His deepest emotional vulnerability is his longing for Wen Xiaoyue. This longing becomes the key to overcoming his cultivation bottleneck and evolving his swordsmanship. 456 457
