Zhao Jianchen, although held hostage by Zhang Chengxiang back then, did not suffer much abuse; he merely faced a bit of hardship.
Despite that, he still relentlessly pursued Li Xiao and his family for many years.
But when his father fell from power, he truly plummeted from the clouds into the mud, enduring untold torture, and even his original appearance was destroyed.
'Those enemies, all of you wait for me... once Old Man masters Spells, I will surely take relentless revenge on each and every one of you!'
He clenched his fist in secret, having long since vowed to take his revenge.
Zhao Jianchen was also fortunate enough to meet a Demon Daoist during his time of distress.
This Daoist called himself 'Master Bat' and was a true practitioner of Spells, having taken several apprentices.
The eldest of these apprentices was the Traveling Daoist priest who had been slain by the Swordsman back in the day!
The second apprentice was none other than this Nan Gongjie.
