The Lord of Lingjiu Palace continues the story of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, focusing on the turbulent years when the young Wu Xingyun first took charge of Lingjiu Palace. At the time, Xiaoyaozi had departed, leaving behind a vast legacy and the mysterious Life-and-Death Talisman. Sixteen-year-old Wu Xingyun used ruthless force to quell unrest within the palace and subdue the restless forces of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands, but earned herself the reputation of a cruel demoness.
Beneath the calm, undercurrents surged. Jiumozhi, the Great Wheel King of Tubo, suddenly led his disciples east into the Central Plains, with the Beggars' Sect's Luoyang gathering as his target. Rumors of the Dragon-Slaying Saber surfaced intermittently in the martial world, seemingly connected to Xiaoyaozi's disappearance. Meanwhile, the forces of the Ming Cult expanded in the Western Regions, setting them on a collision course with Lingjiu Palace.
As Wu Xingyun consolidated Lingjiu Palace's stronghold on Misty Peak, she used the Shadow Division to investigate disturbances across the land, shifting between a young girl's languor and a ruler's sharp resolve. She had to contend with internal power struggles, get drawn into conflicts in the Central Plains martial world, and uncover the mysteries surrounding her master's departure and the fate of the realm. From the icy peaks of the snowy lands to the heart of the Central Plains, clashing blades and hidden national turmoil intertwine. The new lord of Lingjiu Palace is setting out on a grand martial-world legend.
