The Swordsman Returns

The Swordsman Returns: Cheng Hanzhou, former commander of the Zhenwu Bureau, comes out of retirement after five years to investigate the death of a dear friend. He is drawn into a martial arts conspiracy and rescues Shen Yue, the daughter of a swordsmith, from pursuers in Yunzhou City.

The Mystery of the Ancient Sword: A fragment of a broken sword carried by Shen Yue points to the lost “Heavenly Art of Sword Forging,” drawing the interest of multiple factions. Cheng Hanzhou discovers a connection to the destruction of the Hanjiang Alliance fifteen years ago.

A Clash of Factions: In Yunzhou City, Chu Baiyu, young master of the Changfeng Escort Agency, appears to help while secretly pursuing his own agenda. The Xuan Yin Sect assassin “Blood Vulture” launches a bloody purge, while Pei Jun, a rising star in the Zhenwu Bureau, is ordered to investigate Cheng Hanzhou.

The Truth of Her Origins: Shen Yue is actually the last survivor of the Hanjiang Alliance. Her father, Shen Tiangong, possessed the key skill needed to reforge the divine weapon Longyuan. Cheng Hanzhou discovers that there is more to the events of that year than meets the eye.

The Final Battle Begins: Cheng Hanzhou protects Shen Yue as they travel to the Sword Mound in search of the complete sword-forging manual. At the abandoned headquarters of the Hanjiang Alliance, they face off against all the factions in a final showdown and uncover the truth behind the martial world, where power and desire intertwine.
