Ten years ago, a world-shaking battle broke out on the Xuanhuang Continent. The great powers of the Upper Sects joined forces with the major factions of the Xuanhuang Realm to besiege the world’s foremost assassin organization, the Nether Tower.
The village where six-year-old Yang Ying lived became the center of the conflict. He watched his parents die unjustly amid the chaos, and his memories were sealed. He was turned into a Shadow assassin of the Nether Tower.
As an adult, Yang Ying vows to avenge his parents by destroying the Nether Tower. But as his cultivation grows, his sealed memories slowly return, and he eventually discovers that he was nothing more than a pawn in the hands of several factions.
Yang Ying’s path has been fraught with hardship. Because of his identity as an assassin, the person he loves is dragged into the conflict as well. In the end, he decides to stop letting others control him and live for himself. He topples the Nether Tower and avenges his parents. But what should he do about those who helped him while also using him...?
(The protagonist is cunning; no System; humor; traditional cultivation fantasy. The blurb doesn’t do it justice, so give the story a try.)
