Legend of the Mad Daoist

One legend, two generations of Daoists. A blood feud, a vow to protect all living beings.

In 1908, the world was in turmoil. Qingping Village was massacred in a single night, and the young Wangcai's parents were killed. He was rescued by Fu Yuzi, a mad old Daoist. From that day on, he followed his unreliable master down a path of slaying demons and settling blood debts.

At the Nine Palaces martial tournament, he face-slapped the Five Dragon Palace and stunned everyone with a sword as cold as frost. In Shanghai, he mastered both talismans and the sword, used his Azure Water Staff to subdue the Red Demon, and became the chosen master of the Daoist sect's supreme treasure, the Nine Emperors Ultimate Thunder Command. On the snowy plains of the Northeast, he united the Daoist sects and founded the Chinese Daoist Association, standing toe-to-toe with the Black Dragon Society and Japanese onmyoji.

His master said, “The crane cries in the highest heavens, and the Daoist sect shall flourish.” His senior brother Shen Mo was stern on the outside but warm-hearted, venturing alone into the tiger's den for the sake of one parting wish: “Take care, junior brother.” Lin Jiu gave him a jade pendant, Sun Zhuo forged an Azure Water Ruler, and Chen Yunhe risked his life to accompany him. Then there was the girl Chen Muyun, whom he glimpsed beneath the sunset in Chengdu. In a world torn by chaos, they each went their separate ways.

Family vengeance, hatred of the invaders, righteousness, and legacy. The mad old Daoist seemed deranged, yet he was the clearest-minded person in the world. What he taught Wangcai was never just Daoist arts. It was that “some things matter more than death.”

Here you'll find hard-hitting fights, tearjerking bonds between master and disciple, warlord schemes and political intrigue, and the backbone of Daoism, sworn to defend the land to the death.

If you love the purest Chinese-style Daoist arts, hard-core demon slaying, and the most passionate coming-of-age stories, step into The Legend of the Mad Old Daoist.

The Daoist way will never perish, its flame passed on from generation to generation.

The crane cries in the highest heavens. Watch how this young man stirs the winds of change and brings peace and justice back to this chaotic world.
