Biography

Great Wall service and disappearance

Zhao introduces himself formally while serving in the military environment beyond the Great Wall. He joins the group sent into the necropolis and proceeds through its shifting dangers with Bai and other Heavenspan cultivators. Inside an illusion, he is driven into a savage state and begins fighting over human remains. Bai pulls him and Master God-Diviner out of the square, waits for them to recover, and receives Zhao's deeply grateful bow. (Chapters 480–545)

The labyrinth's final teleportation separates the survivors. Zhao disappears along with Master God-Diviner, Song Que, and others, and Bai later wonders where he was sent. A later recollection includes Zhao among those scattered into the Wildlands, but supplies no reunion, death, or confirmed destination. His fate after Chapter 563 is therefore unknown. (Chapters 563, 580, and 767)

Appearance and personality

The corpus does not provide a stable physical description or extensive private characterization. Zhao is formal, dutiful, and grateful when rescued; the cannibalistic behavior in the square is imposed by the labyrinth and should not be treated as his normal personality. (Chapters 480 and 544–545)

Abilities and cultivation

Zhao is capable enough to serve beyond the Great Wall and survive much of the labyrinth, but the selected evidence gives neither a secure final cultivation stage nor a named personal technique. (Chapters 480–563)

Relationships

• Bai Xiaochun: Expedition companion and rescuer who prevents Zhao from consuming human flesh under the illusion's influence. (Chapters 544–545)
• Master God-Diviner: Fellow labyrinth survivor rescued in the same incident and separated by the same teleportation. (Chapters 544–580)
