Shen Yan, a medicine slave from the border, has lived under the oppression of the immortal sect since he was a child. His father died tragically to protect him, which made him have a deep obsession with the "weak". During a chase, he was involved in the dispute between the Shadow Pavilion conspiracy and the mysterious account book. He was surrounded by snow wolves and fought back on the verge of death. He saw through the horror of the secret passage the treacherous nature of the human heart, and finally realized in the blood and fire: There is no mercy in the world, and only by holding the knife hard enough can he not be slaughtered by others.
He doesn't believe in family ties, but he discovers the secret of Shadow Pavilion using living people to refine medicine in his father's letters; he disdains morality, but he relies on the honest young man Jiang Ping for life and death several times, and he sees a glimmer of trust in the light of the sword. In order to find the truth, he set foot in the northern border, dealt with the shadow guards in the Jinzhou puzzle, and faced the "Ice Soul" conspiracy in the Black Stone Refining Cave - there was his father's unfinished struggle and the wails of countless enslavers.
From the decisive killing in the black pine forest to the warmth and warmth of human relationships in the mortal world, Shen Yan's knife became faster and faster, but his heart gradually became angular in the blood and tears. He will do whatever it takes for resources, and will also draw a sword for the weak; he doesn't trust anyone, but he feels a temperature warmer than spiritual power in the old couple's cotton-padded clothes.
This is the path of a strong man walking alone, full of calculations and killings, and also hidden in the pursuit of "real strength". When the shadow of the Shadow Pavilion shrouds the three realms, and the poison-quenched blade points at the innocent, Shen Yan will finally understand: the true sharpness is never the cruelty to kill everyone, but the determination to keep a ray of light in the darkness. Using blood as a guide and pain to temper the edge, let's see how the former medicine slaves broke through the shackles and walked out on the road against heaven.
