Fantasy: the Backlighter

The five major families have been independent in the five major directions of the Longyin Empire for nearly 1,000 years. However, after a parchment appeared 300 years ago, it was decided that the five family patriarchs would lead their elite disciples to the ancient Sunset Kingdom to conduct an unknown joint exploration. A month later, the heads of the five major families appeared in the Forest of Light on the border of the empire. Less than 50 people escaped, and they suffered heavy losses. After returning to the family, the patriarch classified this exploration as the highest level secret and kept silent, and passed down a password: No one from the five major families is allowed to enter the Sunset Ancient Kingdom again, and any offender will be killed without mercy. Little did they know, the wheel of fate had already started turning, and a huge net had been spread out... This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
