Beastfolk Assassin, Double the Deadliness: Wind, Frost, and Mist Seal the Abyssal Prison

The Cangyue Ancestral Tree sustains all races, and engraves their bloodlines into the fate of every living thing.

Commoners receive gray tokens; royalty take the Green Vine Path. Borderland folk risk their lives to defend the gorge, while nobles in the Holy City allocate medicine, food, roads, and military honors according to bloodline.

During a patrol through Riftwind Gorge, half of a bloodstained low-grade travel token is found hanging from a broken plank bridge. Flock after flock of wind hawks migrate against the seasons, and mutated beasts attack the villages. The black crystal in the heart and the black sinew torn from the body both point to Cangshu City, beneath the Ancestral Tree.

The mad wolf assassin Feng Yin and the white fox assassin Shuang Ran follow the broken token to investigate, stumbling into the Blazing Tigers' credit-stealing, the destruction of evidence in a forbidden zone, and the Holy City's bloodline inspections. The borderland case is not over; it has merely spread from Riftwind Gorge into the depths of Cangshu City.

They are investigating an old case left behind by the dead, and the shackles borne by the living.

As the Ancestral Tree's spiritual energy wanes and the Abyssal Prison rift opens, are the so-called destinies ordained by bloodline a path for all living things, or a cage for every race?
