Peerless

In the third year of Kaihuang, the great Sui dynasty, which followed the Northern Dynasties and would pave the way for the glorious Tang, has only just begun. Emperor Yang Jian establishes the Sword-Bearing Office to plan for the future, keep his schemes secret, and unify the realm. On a snowy night, a tribute caravan from the Kingdom of Khotan is ambushed and slaughtered en route, leaving no survivors. Feng Xiao, second chief of the Sword-Bearing Office, is ordered by the emperor to investigate in person. In the border city of Liugong, various factions converge, and formidable masters cross paths. Feng Xiao, the second chief, has always gotten his way, but he hits a wall with a sickly Taoist priest. Only when they cross swords does he discover that the invalid has even more secret identities than he does. An ancient mystery-solving story with everything you could want, from the lofty halls of the imperial court to the far reaches of the martial world.
