Biography

The snowy-mountain pursuit

After the Divine Empress's death reshapes the old clan rivalries, Tianhai Zhanyi joins Zhu Ye and Ning Shiwei in the pursuit surrounding the Cinnabar Pill's hidden owner. His elegant arrival and command over Tianhai experts give him confidence, but he reacts to retreat with shame and presses an attack despite the danger. The expedition ends with his death alongside other participants after the group encounters the Demon Lord. Later efforts by his family to clear his name cannot remove the allegation that he had tried to assassinate the Pope, so the failed operation damages both his life and his clan's reputation. (Chapters 752, 765, 780, 800, and 804)

Appearance and personality

Tianhai Zhanyi is dressed in an elegant thin gown from which snow drifts away. He is contemptuous, proud, and acutely sensitive to the humiliation of retreat; those traits contribute to his willingness to order an attack under worsening circumstances. (Chapters 752 and 765)

Abilities and cultivation

His gown's rejection of falling snow suggests cultivated protection, and he commands several Tianhai clan experts in the field. The corpus does not name his cultivation realm, a personal technique, or the exact limits of his defenses. (Chapters 752 and 765)
