The Night Wanderer

Synopsis of The Night Returners At thirty-seven, the “sickly” Nangong was once a martial arts prodigy with extraordinary talent. But after being betrayed in the secret realm of Xiyue ten years ago, he was afflicted with the deadly Three Yin Severed Meridians poison and went into hiding as a convenience-store owner, waiting for his chance. Then Liu Fei, a disciple of the Qingxuan Pavilion searching for her missing parents, came to his door and activated his exclusive support System, “Doubao.” Their journey of treasure hunting and revenge across multiple dimensions began. Nangong and Liu Fei gather his old friends: the hearty blacksmith Tie Qianchui, the brilliant strategist Zhuge Liuyun, the poison genius Qin Shuang, the tomb raider Haozi, and the formation-obsessed Old Ghost. Together, they form the Night Returners and venture into pre-Qin secret realms, explore the ancient ruins of Kunlun, and break the Five Elements Killing Formation. They fight the Shadow Pavilion and the encroachment of the Root of the Void, collecting seven World Tree energy sigils. Along the way, they face the ruthless schemes of tomb-raiding gangs, the surveillance and checks of official forces, and unexpected connections across worlds. Nangong fuses diverse energies with the spark of martial arts, while Liu Fei uses her spirit-eye technique to see through illusions. United through life and death, the group uncovers the truth behind the betrayal ten years ago and closes in on the Root of the Void itself. The Hongmeng Spirit Fruit that can cure Nangong's Three Yin Severed Meridians and the ultimate answer to his parents' disappearance are both hidden in the perilous core dimension of the World Tree, awaiting their final battle, fought with courage and cunning.
