Synopsis

At the summit of Canglang, wherever the sword points, a legendary epic of the heroes and heroines of the martial world begins. Eighteen years ago, the Canglang Sword Sect was wiped out in a single night. Three hundred disciples were slaughtered at the sect gates, and only the sect leader’s young son, Ye Xun, survived, saved at the cost of his life by his martial uncle, Ye Qingfeng. Ye Xun changed his name and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Eighteen years later, Ye Qingfeng was ambushed with the Seven Absolutes Poison Palm. With his dying breath, he handed Ye Xun the Canglang Sword and half a jade pendant, instructing him to go to Listening Rain Tower in Cangzhou and seek out its master, Liu Ruyan. A copy of The True Secrets of Canglang that will unleash a storm of bloodshed, the truth behind a massacre hidden for thirty years, and a shocking conspiracy that will shake both the imperial court and the martial world: the stage is set. Sword in hand, the young Ye Xun enters the martial world. From an inexperienced boy to a grandmaster, from a fugitive hunted for his life to the leader of the martial arts world, he walks through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, enduring love, hatred, and heartbreak. Along the way, he encounters the devoted vigil of Su Hongxiu, heir to the Poison Immortal; the heartfelt help of Lin Jing, a chivalrous woman from Jiangnan; Bai Wenxuan, the Jade Fan Young Master, both rival and friend; and the bond between master and disciple with Wulan, the grassland princess. Amid layers of mystery, he also uncovers the astonishing truth of his own origins as the last surviving heir of the Canglang Sword Sect.
