Zuo Fangping/Story

=Story=

Revenge Plot of Traitors (Ch 521-610)
Murong Fei sends him to South Yue to kill Huang Yue Li right as the Sect is going to war with another Sect from the Western Sky Region. Murong Fei is able to deceive Mo Yi so that he leaves just as Huang Yue Li and Cai Wei set off for Sky Cloud City.

Road to Sky Cloud City (Ch 611-649)
Zuo Fangping ambushes Huang Yue Li with a single strike; however, he fails to hit her. Instead she bombards him with Tier 5 Armaments and uses the following carriage (with Bai Ruo Qi, Li Xue'er, and the ex-Imperial Tutor inside) to run him over. This does injure him somewhat, but more importantly it allows for Huang Yue Li to hide in the forest.

Huang Yue Li utilizes a skill she read about from her past to escape his Soul trace. Zuo Fangping threatens to light the forest on fire; Huang Yue Li does nothing but wish for the chaos. Zuo Fangping then grabs Bai Ruo Qi and threatens to cut off all her fingers unless Huang Yue Li shows herself; of course, she doesn't as she hates Bai Ruo Qi. Unable to bring her out with her cousin's pain, he uses a Blood Smelt Talisman by filling it with Bai Ruo Qi's blood.

Huang Yue Li - having been the creator of the Blood Smelt Talisman in her previous life - destroys it and absorbs the energy. She temporarily rises to the 3rd Realm and attacks. However, she is unable to continue fighting after some time and gives up. She then questions Zuo Fangping about his motive. He doesn't reveal much with words, but his reactions give Huang Yue Li a good idea of who he is.

He decides to use the Dark Profound Skill Seven Character Soul Extinguishment which makes the receiver a living corpse with no conscious that possesses animal instincts, often lusting for blood and sex. However, he is interrupted by Liu Buyan and forced to flee.

Finding Li’er (Ch 690-725)
Li Mo Ying had the Shadow Guards search everywhere for Huang Yue Li; Mo Liu and Mo Qi run into "the assassin" - implied that they find Zuo Fangping. He escapes from them leading them to an area where it looks like Mystical beasts ate a person. This causes Li Mo Ying's illness to relapse.

Honorary Association Banquet (Ch 882-954)
Li Mo Ying does find out that Zuo Fangping was the assassin. He doesn't point to Murong Fei, but Li Mo Ying figures that is the most rational reason for him to assassinate Huang Yue Li.

NOTE: It isn't explicit that Li Mo Ying killed him for this, but from what he does to Murong Fei and Li Lingchuan he is either Dead or wishes he were dead.
