I Am a Reclusive Sword Immortal

Twenty years ago, the sword master Xi Wangshan was framed by his fellow disciples, branded a traitor who had colluded with the enemy, and driven to his death over a cliff. The Songding Sect used the case to seize control of the martial world, wielding power behind a façade of virtue and colluding with the imperial Martial Suppression Bureau to twist right and wrong. The orphan Cong Yue spent nineteen years hidden in the green mountains, diligently mastering the Art of Perceiving Gaps. With a single glance, he could see through the falsehood in a move and in a person's heart. The world took him for a harmless country boy, unaware that he possessed the ultimate swordsmanship. When a warrant for his death arrived, he was forced out of the mountains. The great sects and court factions came after him one after another, only to be crushed by a single stroke of his sword. He tore away the great sects' façade of virtue and swept the court clean of treacherous villains. To clear his father's name, he used one sword to shatter the schemes and darkness of the world. The orphan from the foot of the cliff emerges, and ten thousand swords bow before him.
