Hou Yao

Biography

Five-region formation battle

Hou Yao watches a Southern Border contest with the patience of a representative from the weakest participating clan, hoping stronger rivals will exhaust one another. He recognizes useful cultivation seeds and helps investigate the smoky warm jade field, but Fang Yuan’s arrival destroys his composure. Surrounded by myriad dragons beside Shang Qing Qing, he loses the will and means to escape. (Chapters 1532, 1533, 1534, 1535, 1536, 1537)
