The Hidden Hero of China

Eighteen years ago, Gu Canghai, leader of the Hunyuan Cult of Black Lang Mountain in the Western Regions, mastered the eighth level of the Celestial Dipper Art. He then led his followers in an attack on the Central Plains, seeking to dominate the martial world. The major sects of the Central Plains joined forces to fight the Hunyuan Cult, but they could not withstand Gu Canghai’s Celestial Dipper Art, and suffered heavy casualties.

With no other choice, the seven major sects sent out a “Jade Gathering Invitation,” seeking help from You Renyu, a renowned swordsman of his generation who lived in seclusion at the Garden of Mending the Flaws on Penglai Island in the Eastern Sea. Unable to bear watching the jianghu descend into ruin, You Renyu, though already past sixty, took up his sword and returned to the martial world. He fought Gu Canghai atop Panlong Peak for three days. In the end, with a single move, “Moon Gazing Against the Current,” he broke Gu Canghai’s Celestial Net, Starry River Palm and crippled half of his life’s cultivation, driving the Hunyuan Cult’s remnants from the Central Plains.

Eighteen years later, Gu Canghai masters the ninth level of the Celestial Dipper Art and invades the Central Plains once more. The young hero Chu Tiankuo falls victim to the Hunyuan Cult’s schemes, but turns misfortune into fortune and gains a formidable set of martial skills. See how Chu Tiankuo shoulders the burden of the Central Plains martial world and drives out the demonic cult.
