The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng is one of the representative works of Gu Long, master of wuxia fiction. The story of The Sequel to The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng follows directly after The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng.
After Lu Xiaofeng exploits Gong Jiu's weakness for sensual pleasures and kills him, he grows sick of the bloody turmoil of the martial world and retires to the mountains. Before long, a new sect rises in the martial world: Bixia Manor. At the same time, one strange event follows another. Someone steals the Dragon Subduing Token right from under Ximen Chuixue's sword. Little Eagle Eye, the chief of the Twelve Linked Wharves, is murdered. The Shaolin Temple's martial arts classic, The Muscle-Tendon Transformation Manual, is stolen, as is the Emperor's jade seal. And the person said to be behind these events is none other than Lu Xiaofeng, who supposedly retired to the mountains. In response, Beef Soup, the master of Bixia Manor, sends out a martial world summons...
Seventeen escort agencies along the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers are wiped out, and fifty-six lives are lost...
The "Ten Swords Devour the Heavens and Rule the Martial World" kills more than a dozen martial arts experts, then turns the swords in their hands against Lu Xiaofeng.
The Sequel to The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng closely resembles Gu Long's writing style, with one mystery after another, a winding plot, and a keen focus on character development.
