Farewell in the Night Rain

At twenty-three, Shen Hanzhou was one of the lowest-ranking Shadow Guards at the Listening Rain Tower in Jiangnan, responsible for stealing intelligence and carrying out assassinations. Three years ago, he was framed for desertion and became the bearer of the Heavenly Secret Token, hunted by the Three Palaces and Six Sects alike. The martial arts realm is divided into six stages: Bright Force, Hidden Force, Transforming Force, Subtlety, Divine Communion, and Returning to the Void. Most people never progress beyond Transforming Force. Those who reach Subtlety are already grandmasters, those who attain Divine Communion appear once in a century, and Returning to the Void exists only in legend.
