Synopsis

The story revolves around the Tiangang Fortress, using a mystery-solving approach to depict the contest of wits and strength between good and evil. Its central theme is that good will always triumph over evil, while familiar wuxia elements include young masters, learning peerless arts, and competing for martial arts treasures. Blending traditional wuxia plots with detective work was a defining feature of Sima Ling's later novels. Du Xiyan is an upright, learned, and highly skilled young man, an outstanding figure of his generation. Both Yun Sanhua and Yu Xiaoshuang fall in love with him. Du Xiyan gives Yun Sanhua the Phoenix Needle, which he obtained from Tiangang Fortress, and rescues Yu Xiaoshuang and Ling Jiuzhong, who stands between good and evil, from the secret headquarters of the White Bone Cult. Later, Yun Sanhua ends up with Ling Jiuzhong, while Du Xiyan chooses Yu Xiaoshuang. After the Shaolin monk Master Xizhang is exposed as Wei Pingyang, the son of Wei Xianghan and the leader of an evil sect, he resumes his true identity and sets out to seize the Phoenix Needle and kill Du Xiyan. Just as Wei Pingyang and Du Xiyan are fighting, Shaolin Abbot Master Tianci appears with the Shaolin masters Tianji, Rizhao, and Rihui. Together, the four take Wei Pingyang back to Shaolin Temple to repent, and at last peace returns to the martial world.

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.
