Laying Low in the Capital as a Heir, I Become Invincible the Moment I Draw My Sword

In the thirty-seventh year of Emperor Xuanwu's reign in the Great Abyss, a black storm swept across the Central Plains. Imperial authority collapsed, and warriors seized power.

That year, Gu Linyuan was sent to the capital as a hostage at his father's command.

A battered carriage, a one-eyed veteran, and a Cold Abyss sword hidden in the shadows.

Confronted by the court's suspicions, the great clans' schemes, and assassins from the martial world, he chose to put on the mask of a spoiled noble.

He drank himself silly in the pleasure quarters, while secretly using his finger as a brush to sketch the game of the world in a beauty's palm.

He gambled big at the casinos, listening for the slightest stir of trouble amid the clamor and catching the deadly threats before anyone else.

People said the bitter cold of the northern frontier could never nurture nobility.

Gu Linyuan only laughed at the city's powerful, all of them corpses rotting in their graves.

“My father sent me here to fulfill my duty to my sovereign, but does that old geezer on the dragon throne deserve it!?”

Watch him cultivate the Hidden Dragon Art in an ordinary human body and break through the Five Realms and Ten Directions.

In the stagnant waters of Tianjing, he'll stir up a storm and rebuild the realm!

The emperor guards the nation's borders?

No. Starting today,

this realm belongs to the Gu family!
