Synopsis

Synopsis of Wo Longsheng's wuxia novel, The Flower-Swaying Eagle:

Su Bailing had no equal in the world, though he longed for one. Arrogant in his youth and fiercely competitive in middle age, he had no confidante worthy of his regard and no enemy who could give him a proper fight. With nowhere to put his abundant talent, he played a trick on the martial world of later generations. He poured his pent-up anguish and pain into building an underground fortress, leaving behind two plans, one righteous and one evil. Whoever obtained the evil plan could quickly dominate the martial world, while whoever found the righteous one would also receive the means to counter it. This would allow the “Young Master of a Hundred Flowers” to create an era through the hands of others, then destroy it.

Su Bailing recorded his sword techniques in a secret chamber deep in the mountains. A hundred years later, Jin Yuanqing, an eccentric righteous martial artist renowned for his heroism, was mistakenly accused and hunted by the “Nine Great Sects.” After surviving the ordeal, he stumbled upon Su Bailing's secret manual and used its wondrous techniques to unleash a great calamity upon the martial world.

Thus began a catastrophe in the martial world. The “Cold Jade Pendant” and the “Flying Eagle Map,” clues left behind by Su Bailing to avert disaster, became the key to the struggle between good and evil. The peerless beauties Dongfang Yaling and Nangong Yuzhen, one a scholar and the other a fighter, took on the burden of saving the martial world. After enduring pursuit by the “Heavenly Net Cult” and relying on Dongfang Yaling's wisdom, the righteous finally found the underground fortress Su Bailing had left behind, along with the “Black Fortress,” where experts lay hidden.

The crisis in the martial world was averted, but the young hero Qiu Feihua, loved by both Nangong and Dongfang, turned out to be an infiltrator Jin Yuanqing had placed among the righteous. Even Qiu Feihua himself was unaware of it, but the Soul-Transference Technique awakened the demonic nature he could not control. Exhausted in body and spirit, Dongfang managed to restrain Qiu Feihua, then drifted away.

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.
