With Shangguan Qingying taking action, Zhao Chengdong lost any chance to even self-destruct in a final, desperate struggle. He was killed on the spot, and even his Divine Soul was seized.
"I never thought that old fool would get dragged into the Qin Family's schemes," Zhao Wanqing said, a lingering fear in her voice as she gazed at the corpse on the floor.
Zhao Chengdong was not from the Zhao Family's Direct Lineage. He had started as nothing more than a poor and struggling Loose Cultivator. The previous Patriarch had seen his potential, recruiting him into the family and nurturing him with great care.
Back then, he was merely a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator. The former Patriarch had provided him with the resources to advance step-by-step to Foundation Establishment and then Golden Core, until he was on the very cusp of the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.
