Old Man Zheng Yuan

Biography

Service with Shadow Sect's remnants

Old Man Zheng Yuan accompanies Fairy Zi Wei after her break with Heavenly Court and works beside her and Ying Wu Xie while hiding from pursuit. Red Lotus’s will locates their position at a glance, exposing the limits of their combined concealment. Zheng Yuan contributes human-path understanding, but Shen Shang’s later accomplishments are judged to surpass his. (Chapters 1702, 1704, 1916, 1962, 2026, 2063)

Abilities

His specialty is human path, where he possesses enough expertise to assist Fairy Zi Wei’s plans and recognize other experts. He is not the era’s highest practitioner: Shen Shang is assessed above him, and even coordinated concealment cannot hide the group from Red Lotus’s perceptive will.
