The Furong Shadow Pear Blossom Spear

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, northern invaders ravaged the Central Plains. The great hero Guo Jing and his wife died defending their city, leaving behind two daughters. In this story, Guo Fu is the elder daughter. She helps her parents defend the city and spends decades on the battlefield. After the dynasty falls, she forms an army of exiles and, with the support of the Beggars’ Sect and the Ming Cult, continues to resist the tyrannical Yuan and destroy the dark force behind it: the Evil Fiends. In the course of the resistance, she helps the Central Plains Ming Cult break away from its Persian headquarters and become independent. National enmity, family feuds, gratitude, and vengeance all intertwine, as the flame of Chinese civilization struggles to survive under the iron hooves of a powerful foreign people.

When she is forced into a desperate corner during an operation to eliminate traitors in Luzhou, she flees into Yinping Mountain and stumbles upon the villa of the Marquis of Shunping. There she obtains the Spear of Yajiao and its manual, surpasses Guo Xiang in martial arts, and joins the ranks of the Five Greats.

After the fall of the Song, Yang Guo actively helps Guo Fu build the resistance army and repeatedly saves it from danger. He spends little time with the Dragon Maiden, who eventually attains the Great Dao and achieves immortality, then heads to Mount Shu to pursue cultivation and become an immortal.
