Edict of the Underworld

In the final years of the Great Qi Dynasty, the land was in turmoil. Plagues swept across the country, leaving the people in misery, while powerful ministers schemed for control at court and foreign tribes on the borders watched hungrily.

In remote Youzhou stood a mysterious place known as the Nether Crossing, rumored to connect the worlds of the living and the dead. Strange events often took place there. Xiao Yi, the general stationed in the area, had offended a powerful minister and was sent there to “distinguish himself.” In truth, it was a form of exile. Accompanying him were Lu Chen, an aide skilled in divination and the supernatural, and A Man, a forthright bodyguard with exceptional martial skills.
