Misty Rain, Towering Pavilion, Drawn Sword

First came “Fragrance Marshal,” then “Sword Marquis.” One after the other, they shone like twin jewels. Like the Fragrance Marshal, the Sword Marquis suddenly withdrew from the martial world at the height of his fame, stirring boundless longing and admiration among the people. But fifteen years later... Hua Hanxiang, the renowned Sword Marquis, reappeared in the martial world after vanishing for fifteen years. He had returned to accept the challenge at Sword Gate Pass from the “Five Fiends of Tianfu” on behalf of Sunrise Fireworks House... Hua Hanxiang was still as implacable toward evil as he had been fifteen years ago, and always ready to help those who asked. He would gladly give his life to keep a promise, and even when he knew a trap lay ahead, he charged straight into it... His sword, too, was just as it had been fifteen years ago: it stayed sheathed, yet once drawn, it struck down its target with a single thrust... At the battle of Sword Gate Pass, the Five Fiends of Tianfu died. He failed to save the person he had come to rescue, and found two blades at his throat instead. One belonged to Bai Feiyang, the sole heir of the “Ghost Blade King.” This blade could make ghosts shriek and gods weep, and Bai Feiyang’s only purpose in life was to fight Hua Hanxiang fairly. It was a blade Hua Hanxiang had no confidence he could defeat! The second belonged to the most mysterious and terrifying figure in the martial world, the “Blade Venerable.” This, too, was a blade Hua Hanxiang could not overcome... Hua Hanxiang knew he had fallen into a terrifying abyss, but it only stoked the sense of justice in his heart. He resolved to find the cruel Blade Venerable and uncover the mystery behind it all... From that moment on, danger, death, chance encounters, and strange happenings followed one after another...
