Broken Sword and Setting Sun summary
The famous Shen family in the south of the Yangtze River was wiped out. The young owner Shen Muyun, carrying a blood feud and a half-broken sword, fled from the south of the Yangtze River to the Soul-Desolating Desert in the west. On the verge of death, he was rescued by a mysterious old beggar and began to struggle to survive in the Gobi mountains. The old beggar taught not only survival skills such as herbal identification, tracking and concealment, but also a unique set of mental methods that were completely different from the Shen family's martial arts. As the pattern of the broken sword was gradually deciphered, Shen Muyun discovered that the family sword "Qingfeng" actually contained a shocking secret, and the forces of the Netherworld Pavilion that were chasing him were also closing in step by step. During his encounter in the small town in the west, he accidentally got involved in the past grudges between Sha Qianli and the old beggar, and gradually uncovered the vast conspiracy network of the Netherworld Pavilion in the Western Region. From a down-and-out young man to surviving in the desert, from losing his martial arts skills to rediscovering the way of the sword, Shen Muyun uses a half-cut sword as a tool to walk a thorny road of revenge and redemption in the gap between the rivers and lakes and the desert.
