Hold the Lantern and Ask the Sword

Shen Hanzhou, the best swordsman in the world, was framed by his sworn brother and current martial arts leader Yue Qingtian. His entire family was massacred. He himself lost all his martial arts skills and worked incognito as a coffin shop clerk in a small town. Seven years later, Yue Qingtian's power is overwhelming and he has unified all the righteous sects. He is about to hold a "Sword Forging and Zen Ceremony" on the top of Mount Tai, hoping to recruit the world's heroes under his command. Shen Hanzhou accidentally rescued a blind girl who was being hunted, and found out that she was Yue Qingtian's illegitimate daughter Yue Lingshu. She was silenced for peeping into the secret message of her father's collusion with the Demon Cult. Fortunately, the Demon Cult's holy artifact "Nine Nether Glaze" saved her life, but she was blind. The two of them each harbored hatred and went north to Mount Tai together. Relying on his former world-leading martial arts foundation and monster-like combat IQ, Shen Hanzhou repeatedly killed his pursuers under seemingly impossible circumstances and became famous again. Finally, at the top of Mount Tai, in front of the world's heroes, he used an ordinary coffin to lay an iron sword and cut off Yue Qingtian's alliance leader's sword "Shanhe Order", exposing his hypocrisy. However, before killing his enemy, he discovered that Yue Lingshu had been planted with the "Lianxin Gu" in his body, which would live and die with Yue Qingtian. If Yue Qingtian is killed, Yue Lingshu will die. The final choice pushed the "pleasure" and "affection" of Jianghu to the extreme.
