Laughing Away the Dust

Twenty years ago, after the Evil-Repelling Sword had tasted too much blood, its demonic nature erupted and turned against its master, Gu Chengjue, a peerless sword god, leaving him neither man nor ghost. Miao Tianjing, leader of the Wangchen Sect, suddenly emerged and defeated the sword god, claiming the demonic sword for himself. But the sword’s evil aura was too strong. Even a once-in-a-generation genius like Miao Tianjing could not suppress its demonic nature, so he decided to seal it and added this lock. The Wangchen Sect seldom involved itself in the affairs of the martial world, and over the years the Evil-Repelling Sword was rarely drawn. People gradually forgot it existed. Then, three years ago, the Wangchen Sect was wiped out. Miao Tianjing and his wife were murdered, and Gu Qianmo, the sect’s youngest disciple, took the sword into the martial world. At just twenty, Gu Qianmo carried a blood feud. When he reappeared three years later, had he completed his training and left to seek revenge, or was he simply looking for the family he had lost? As layer upon layer of mystery is peeled away, what really happened back then? And who can say what debts of kindness and vengeance the past left behind?
