The Sword's Trace in the Hongying Shadows

Introduction to The Trail of the Hongying Sword ** A broken sword flashes like a startled swan; a wild goose’s shadow conceals a secret. The raging fire that engulfed Qingyang Manor burned away Xiao Yu’s childhood and left him burdened with the fate of the Heavenly Sword’s heir. A shattered Jinghong Sword carries his family’s blood feud, while concealing an unparalleled technique capable of shaking the martial world. When he sets out in search of the sword, he discovers that the entire martial world is already shrouded in the shadow of the Netherworld Sect, and that the broken sword in his hand is the very key they have coveted for so long. Shen Qingyue, heir to the Remnant Snow Sword, bears a mysterious wild-goose birthmark on her neck, a mark of her identity and a warning of danger. Carrying her master’s dying instructions, she searches the vast martial world for the heir to the Heavenly Sword. What she does not know is that her own origins are inextricably linked to the Netherworld Sect. Every time she uses her jade flute to perform martial arts, her birthmark grows faintly hot, as if warning her that a vast conspiracy is drawing her in. The meeting of the broken sword and the jade flute is no accident. When Xiao Yu and Shen Qingyue fight side by side in the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Swords, the strange resonance between the broken sword and the birthmark reveals a long-buried secret: they are both bound by the fate of The Trail of the Hongying Sword. The Heavenly Sword’s Heart Method and the Blood Hong Curse clash fiercely in the shadows of the martial world, and the sword and flute in their hands are the keys to resolving the conflict. As they face one ambush after another from the Netherworld Sect, they search for the truth amid bloodshed and turmoil. Every step brings a trial of life and death; every choice affects the fate of the martial world.
