Farewell to the Departed, Ashes at the Vermilion Gates

On a snowy night, on his seventeenth birthday, the entire Li family was slaughtered. He buried his family's remains and laid his old name to rest. Clutching a bloodstained copy of the Spring and Autumn Annals and half a broken sword, he fled into the martial world, vowing to cut down every injustice under heaven. After ten years in hiding, he founded the Zhuoying Alliance amid the misty rain of Jiangnan. Its creed was “Cleanse the muddy waters of this age and cut down evil in the world.” In just five years, thousands of martial heroes had joined its ranks. At the sight of its banner, corrupt officials trembled in fear. Armored in chivalry, he now seeks, through his own strength alone, to cleanse the dust of this murky world.
