A Great Tang Mystery

As the sun and moon raced across the human world and the martial world passed through the ages, a mysterious force quietly emerged. Its practitioners studied the Five Arts derived from the Book of Changes: Mountain, Medicine, Destiny, Divination, and Astrology. They wielded the power of feng shui to kill without a trace, divined the secrets of Heaven and foretold fortune and disaster, understood yin-yang, the Five Elements, and formations, and mastered medicine and poison. Their methods were unfathomable, and they called themselves the Xuan Sect. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xuan Sect split into three schools after its token of leadership, the Celestial Star Disc, went missing: the Yin-Yang School, the Changes School, and the Mystery School.

During the Shenlong era of the Tang dynasty, the Celestial Star Disc, missing for many years, reappeared. Shen Wei, wife of Han Xuanzhi, master of the Changes School, led its disciples to Chang’an to find the disc. The Changes School had a chance to reunify the Xuan Sect, but while escorting the disc back to their school, Shen Wei and the disciples accompanying her vanished without a trace. From that moment on, the martial world became a maze of intrigue, with a storm clearly brewing.
