**Sword Domain's Lonely Cry: Laughing Proudly in the Sword Domain, A Lone Cry in Search of the Dao!**
With a battered blade too dull even for chopping firewood in hand, country boy Xiao Mo's life takes a turn because of a scruffy old man who “kidnaps” him with roast chicken: Feng Qingyang, who calls himself the “Hidden Sword Peak Master.” He thought joining an immortal sect would teach him to fly through the sky and burrow through the earth. But on his very first day, his aloof senior sister Ye Hongyu is so frightened by a spider that she loses her composure and shrieks, while his honest, sturdy second senior brother Shi Jian has a secret: he hides in his room to embroider flowers? And junior sister Lin Wanzhao's “love-filled cooking” has every disciple on the peak fighting for the toilets until they question their own lives! Hidden Sword Peak? Isn't this a training camp for comedians?
But their hilarious daily life is torn apart by bloodshed. The narcissistic villain Zhen Shadiao (the real deal) leads an attack. After a brutal battle that destroys their sect, Xiao Mo is left carrying the burden of vengeance. Along with the surviving beauties at his side, the icy senior sister Ye Hongyu, the gentle yet sharp-tongued Liu Ruyan, and dessert assassin Lin Wanzhao, as well as Han Xiaopang, a chatterbox and miser who unexpectedly becomes bound to him, he sets out on a desperate flight across the world.
From then on, the Nine Firmaments Sword Domain takes a decidedly “wrong turn”:
* At the sect tournament in Qinglan Province, the hypocrite Jia Houyan (Fake Thick-Skinned) tries to show off, only for Xiao Mo to flick his wig flying with a single sword strike, humiliating him in front of everyone!
* In Wanjian City, the spoiled rich kid Hao Jianren (What a Scumbag) tries to steal the ancient sword “Hidden Edge,” but the divine sword itself slaps him in the face, embedding him in a wall!
* At the eye of a storm in the East Sea, Canglan, the holy son of the Sea God Temple, lets jealousy boil over and angrily overturns a ship, only to get seasick and throw up until he's a “lily-livered shrimp”!
* In the Western Desert, the leader of the sand bandits, the “Sand Sculpture King,” charges forward on a sandboard, shouting a battle cry, only to crash straight into his own underlings a moment later, sending them tumbling everywhere!
