Background / History
After Long Xingyu left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lin Feng assigned Chen Zidian’s Special Operations Team to guard the outpost. The team arrived while Long Haochen’s group was fighting Gu Rong. Chen Zidian defeated Gu Rong, ordered him imprisoned, and took over the outpost’s defenses while Dawn of Light continued work on the teleportation array 4 8. He later reported the capture to Lin Feng; Gu Rong was sent to the Holy Demon Continent through a reverse-teleportation test 9.
When Heaven Dou forces surrounded Sunset Forest, Chen Zidian watched their deployment but left them alone so long as they did not attack. Lin Feng subsequently ordered him to draw attention to the exposed outpost, diverting it from Long Xingyu’s operation in the City of Slaughter 12 16 17.
