This is a world of high martial arts, and a story about the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. There are no divine dragons or qilin, but there are primal beasts: eagles, mantises, and even a silly-looking giant panda! In short, this is a strange and wondrous world.
By order of his master, Fang Yu of the Zhenhai Escort Agency heads to Yujing to escort a shipment, but unexpectedly becomes entangled in a notorious massacre from sixteen years ago. As he journeys through a turbulent and treacherous martial world, he seems to have no control over his own fate, and everything is shrouded in suspicion. At last, he discovers that this is a shocking conspiracy capable of bringing the entire martial world to ruin. Caught up in it, Fang Yu finally finds the mastermind behind it all...
The high-martial world may seem cruel, but it also has beautiful things, like love, friendship, and family! And what else? Light! A sword of justice! They say wherever there are people, there's a martial world. But what is the martial world? They say we all live like dogs. I may have no ambition to rule the martial world, but it won't control me either!
Fang Yu says, “In this life, I'll be the one holding the leash in the martial world!” My fate is mine to command, not heaven's?
That's quite a boast, Fang Yu. The martial world can't control you, but what about women? Fang Yu furrows his brow. That's a truly vexing problem. It's a bit like a sword of justice coming up against a blade of the seven emotions and six desires.
