Hongchen Family

Biodata

History

Before the continent’s unification, the Hongchen Family controlled both the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Mingde Hall, placing it at the pinnacle of soul-tool technology. The family retained these core institutions after unification rather than expanding into the military. 242

During the Abyss turmoil thirteen years before Mo Hongchen’s return to Shrek City, the parents of both Mo Hongchen and An Lan died. The Hongchen Family located Mo Hongchen afterward and brought her back to Ming Capital. 242

The family has remained influential in the Federation and is described as one of its foremost families, with a Limit Douluo presiding over it. 242
