The “Dead City” is a terrifying place that strikes fear into the martial world, and it conceals one of its greatest secrets. Yu Wenlie is sent down the mountain on his master's orders. As soon as he enters the martial world, one extraordinary encounter after another befalls him: the Dead City forces the twelve great sects to trade their secret techniques for the release of their captured leaders; the Heartslayer repeatedly saves him from danger, yet knows his origins and refuses to tell him; the peerless martial artist and breathtakingly beautiful girl in green who saves his life turns out to be the daughter of his master's enemy; after someone throws him into the Valley of Ten Thousand Vipers, he happens to absorb the blood of a golden-crowned silver viper, then meets the Demon Lord of the Three Realms and obtains half of the “Forbidden Palace Key”; the princess of the Forbidden Palace forces him to marry her daughter... His experiences all seem closely tied to the Dead City, a terrifying place that strikes fear into the martial world and conceals one of its greatest secrets. To unravel the mystery of his origins and safeguard the martial world, he decides to venture into the Dead City. What fate awaits this young swordsman, who has only just entered the martial world?
