Background / History

Long Hong displayed exceptional martial talent from birth. He began practicing martial arts while young, reached the Mystic Armor Realm at thirteen, and entered the battlefield to earn military merit. 31

He later became a military general of Great You and entered the Dragon Wasteland Realm. He participated in the conflict that subdued the South Sea Dragon Palace, where he witnessed the Imperial Advisor kill Prince Feng. 31 32

Before returning to Wenren Manor, Long Hong and his younger sister Wenren Qingyi traveled in search of a renowned physician for their sister Wenren Lingmeng. Upon meeting Lingmeng's husband, Mu Zibai, he thanked him for caring for her and offered him both a basic body-refining manual and an opportunity to study at the Imperial Academy. 16

Following the Dragon Palace's renewed activity in the South Sea, Long Hong remained in the region at King Qi's request to help organize its defenses. He later fought in the South Sea Campaign and accumulated sufficient military merit for the Imperial Advisor to promote him to Wuya's deputy general. 46 67 80 113

Appearance

Long Hong is a tall, burly man with an imposing heroic bearing. Despite nearing forty, he appears no older than a youth in his twenties. 16 31

• Tall and powerfully built. 16
• Carries himself with the heroic presence of a seasoned general. 16
• Retains a youthful appearance despite his age. 31

Personality

Though a military general, Long Hong is polite, refined, and considerate in conversation. He treats Mu Zibai warmly from their first meeting, values his sister's wellbeing, and sees potential in Mu Zibai rather than judging him by his reputation. 16 31

Long Hong is ambitious and strongly believes that men should accomplish great things. He is eager to guide promising cultivators toward the battlefield, yet he accepts Mu Zibai's choice to prioritize Lingmeng and advises him to consolidate his strength first. 16 31

His experience as a general leaves him alert to military threats. He quickly interprets the Dragon People's intrusion at Tianling Temple as a possible prelude to war and agrees to prepare for conflict alongside King Qi. 22 32 46

Long Hong is battle-minded and proactive in the face of threats. Although he recognizes the danger of renewed war with the Dragon Palace, he is eager to take the field after years spent handling only minor skirmishes. 32
