The Blade's Roar Across the Martial World: The Crimson Sky Journey
A broken blade stirs a century of bloodshed across the martial world;
a hidden past unravels the tangled grudges of three generations.
At the edge of a cliff on Yandang Mountain, young swordsman Chu Zhao is framed for killing his master. Cursed by the demonic Crimson Sky Blade, he is hunted by his sect and the entire martial world. As he plunges over the cliff, near death, he is rescued by Shen Qingli, a healer from Qingluan Valley. Little does he know that her gentle care marks the beginning of a fateful entanglement.
The Crimson Sky Blade is said to have been forged by Night Owl, the ancient Blade Sect's leader, from ninety-nine famous blades. The day it was completed, strange signs appeared in the heavens, and an undying curse came with it. None of its wielders met a good end. Yet Chu Zhao turns out to be Night Owl's only descendant, born after he vanished into the martial world.
To clear his name and unravel the mystery of his origins, Chu Zhao and Shen Qingli embark on a perilous investigation. Within the Heavenly Blade Sect, acting sect leader Mo Qianshan secretly helps them, but even he cannot withstand the combined assault of Elder Tie Ying and Xuan Xiao, leader of the Black Sword Pavilion. Across the martial world, the Blood Shadow Sect, the Western Regions Blade Sect, and the mysterious “Blade-less Alliance” all emerge, each eager to see the Crimson Sky Blade for themselves.
As their investigation deepens, a “Blade Sect massacre” buried for twenty years comes to light: 137 people were slaughtered in a single night, and the only trace left at the scene was the mark of the Crimson Sky Blade. Chu Zhao was the sole survivor of that massacre.
Is a blade a weapon of destruction, or a weapon that seals away evil?
Is one's bloodline a curse, or a calling?
This is a long-form wuxia tale about blades and heroes, guilt and redemption, fate and choice. Turn to the first page, and you step into a martial world that offers both the thrill of settling grudges and deep reflection. Here, the sharpest blade is not in your hand, but in people's hearts; and the final victory is decided not by martial prowess, but by the choices you make.
The Blade's Roar Across the Martial World: The Crimson Sky Journey is dedicated to everyone who still dreams of the martial world.
