Synopsis

Classic martial arts style · Suspenseful wuxia The sword is heartless, but people have hearts. A true martial artist isn't one who never loses, but one who isn't afraid to lose. Twenty years in the depths of the snowy mountains, then a sword comes from the west to seek the past. Baidi City, Tianji Tower, Dizang Sect, Ren Sect Hall... One city holds the grudges and debts of three generations. His name is Ye Kai: Ye as in leaf, Kai as in happy. A man named Happy who, of all people, can never be happy. Twenty years ago, the world's greatest master, Ye Wuchen, fought his way out of Baidi City with a baby in his arms, leaving behind these words: “He will return in twenty years.” Twenty years later, Ye Kai came down from the snowy mountains. His master had told him nothing, only to go to Baidi City and find a man named Xiao Yan. Baidi City has three rules: It's easy to enter, hard to leave; no private duels, only fights to the death in the arena; and don't ask about what you shouldn't. Ye Kai had no intention of following any of them. When thirty-one Dizang Sect assassins surrounded him, he slit thirty throats with a single dead leaf. A woman in red shoes came to meet her death. An old man who never rowed a boat had ferried thirteen people to Baidi City, waiting for just one to return. A hunchbacked cook who had made noodles for twenty years took three of his blows, then said, “You're just like your master. It's impossible to bring myself to kill you.” The symbols carved on bamboo slips marked the location of a treasure. What lay buried beneath Baidi City wasn't gold or silver. Lu Xiaofeng, with his four eyebrows, said Ye Kai had come looking for death. Ye Kai replied, “Well, I'm already here.” A strange tale of the martial world, woven from snow and blood, blades and wine, secrets and debts. Ye Kai's sword has no name, his origins have no answer, and the road beneath his feet has no end. But he knows this: he will repay the debt his master owes. Whether he can or not, he must. Because this is the path he chose.

Fantasy Cultivation with Intelligent Characters. Don't Just Start by Using Spiritual Sense

The protagonist needs to have some brains too. Anyone knows not to flaunt a huge pile of spirit stones. Is that too much to ask? Are there really no good books out there? They're all decent for the first few chapters, then both the author and the protagonist lose their minds.
