Warriors are supposed to vanquish evil and uphold justice.
But the temptations of worldly luxury have corrupted them.
They collude with powerful merchant clans, turning business rivalries into armed conflicts.
To satisfy their own selfish desires, they care nothing for the lives of ordinary people. They act without restraint and run roughshod over everyone.
The whole society is rife with resentment, while the security forces are no match for the warrior clans. Faced with the chaos, the security forces are powerless, and society descends into turmoil.
The situation grows worse by the day. Some powerful clans even hold the nation’s authority in contempt.
Around the world, unscrupulous warriors have seized control of some small nations, reducing ordinary people to slaves.
The only reason Daxia has managed to maintain a semblance of stability is that its government institutions have several top-tier experts capable of keeping the powerful clans in check.
But as the clans deepen their roots in society and a new generation, including Liu Han, rises to prominence, the situation threatens to spiral out of control.
To prevent things from deteriorating further, keep Daxia’s billions of people from being plunged into misery, and save its thousand-year legacy from ruin, Daxia’s leaders hold a secret meeting, preparing to purge the chaos of the high-martial world and use force to end the fighting.
