When the Sword Rises from the Dust, We Meet Again in the Jianghu

The Lin family was slaughtered by the Blood Venerable. As a child, Lin Chen witnessed his parents' brutal deaths. On the brink of death himself, he was rescued by a reclusive master and managed to survive. After ten years in hiding, Lin Chen honed his martial arts and tempered his character before descending the mountain to venture into the martial world. Along the way, he befriended Zhao Hu, a brother who would share life and death with him, and crossed paths with Su Qingyao, a woman of mysterious origins. Starting out at the very bottom of the martial world, the young man endured defeat, desperation, betrayal, and unexpected opportunities. Step by step, he advanced his cultivation and mastered peerless swordsmanship. He uncovered the Blood Venerable's layers of schemes and, at last, joined forces with his closest friends and beloved to crush the demonic path, slay his enemies, and bring peace to a chaotic martial world.
