Dispatches from the Wasteland

A fragment of a martial warrant throws the entire Jiangnan martial world into turmoil.

Lu Heng is accidentally drawn into a bloody case at an old mansion, wrongly suspected and relentlessly pursued by Steward Chu of the Zhenyue Alliance.

Ambushes at taverns, desperate escapes through the streets, standoffs at martial arts schools, and breakouts through secret tunnels: sects and wandering fighters arrive one after another, all coveting the secret of an ancient hidden realm concealed in the fragment.

The great orthodox sects hide selfish motives, while lone bandits care only for profit.

In this vast martial world, honor is worth less than half a coin. Only a sharp blade can keep you standing.

Hunted at every turn and surrounded by enemies, Lu Heng grips a broken blade and fights his way to survival between rival powers, tearing away the layers of hypocrisy that have veiled the old martial world!
