Name: The Holy Sword, Frost in Flight
Author: Explorer Ylr

Synopsis

The novel's overall structure is quite systematic: the “One Emperor” stands against the “Holy Maiden.” Beneath “One Emperor” Huangfu Gu are the “Three Dukes.” The “One Emperor and Three Dukes” belong to the evil faction, while the “Heart Pool Holy Maiden” leads the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, the alliance of justice.

The “Holy Maiden” possesses the “Holy Sword.” Whoever wields it is effectively the leader of the martial world and can command the heads of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects. The “One Emperor” possesses the “Immunity from Death Token.” Even after it went missing for twenty years, the token could still cow the “Three Dukes” and halt their plan to wipe out a clan.

The story is exceptionally well told and has much to recommend it. It is truly a rare gem among Sima Ling's works, and was greatly admired by the renowned Taiwanese scholar Dr. Wang Bangxiong, one of the founders of Taipei University.

To complement Huangfu Wei, Sima Ling created three young women: “Crimson-Clad Fairy” Shu Qian, “Silver-Clad Fairy” Tong Xiu, and “Black-Clad Fairy” Leng Qingying.
