In the morning mist of Qingfeng Town, the sound of chopping wood at the Yuelai Inn had been the whole of Shen Mo’s life. That changed when a band of men in black set the inn ablaze one night, pointing at his father, Shen Xiaotian, and roaring, “Thieves of the manual must die!” Only then did he learn that his father had once been an heir of the Valley of Heroes, and that the True Meaning of Martial Justice and the stolen Netherworld Demon Tome had already dragged his life into the whirlpool of the martial world.
His father stayed behind to protect him, vanishing into a hidden passage. With half a ruined manual and the Hero’s Token in hand, Shen Mo became prey to the Prince of Wu’s Manor and the Heavenly Demon Cult. On the run, he met Lin Qingxue, a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Cult who should have taken his life, yet repeatedly left him a way to survive. He also became the pupil of Medicine King Bai. Once an inn boy who could barely hold a knife, he gradually learned the rudiments of the Mountain-Shaking Palm.
When the mists of Green Wolf Mountain lifted, the Prince of Wu’s Manor’s scheme to control the martial world with the demon tome and the Heavenly Demon Cult’s ambition to seize its fragments and rule the land were laid bare. Shen Mo finally understood that his father had avoided the martial world to protect him, while his own venture into it was a duty he had to fulfill. He would find his father, keep the ruined manual from claiming any more blood, and, amid flashing blades, carve out a path to survival for Qingfeng Town’s morning light and for the martial world in this age of chaos.
Yes, it is the ideal martial arts
