[Sweet potatoes again?] [A protagonist who grows over time] To save the emperor, we are ordered to travel to the southern frontier and seize the Phoenix Gu, the sacred relic of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. I thought my teammates were just ordinary experts: a quiet, dependable swordsman, a beautiful woman with superb medical skills, a warmhearted escort chief, and a tech-obsessed young man. I was wrong. The swordsman is the nephew of the master of Qijian Manor and knows the secret of a peerless divine weapon; when the beautiful woman flies into a rage, her eyes turn purple, letting her see through meridians as her silver needles claim lives; the escort chief is descended from a traitorous general, and the case surrounding a heavy iron spear holds clues to an old injustice; and that tech geek has a broken crossbow on his back that houses a foul-mouthed crossbow spirit, centuries old and seething with resentment! Worse still, the emperor who gave us our orders is plagued by nightmares, and the mastermind behind it all is the Grand Commandant himself! This isn’t a treasure hunt at all. It’s a shocking death trap targeting every one of us! When trust collapses and identities are revealed, how will we fight back against all odds?
