The Startling Rainbow Blade

Pei Jinghong is a second-rank guard at the Taifeng Carriage Company in Liangzhou, earning his keep through sheer brute strength. Only after his second uncle entrusted him with the Heart Sutra of Innate Nurturing and Longevity on his deathbed, and the Blazing Sun Saber Lord taught him the Blazing Sun Saber Manual, did he open his Ren and Du meridians and truly enter the martial world.

He protects the Iron Sword, swears brotherhood, ventures into the Red Pavilion, and enters the Demon Sect. From a small city in Liangzhou, he is swept into the tangled conflicts among the Sword Alliance, Saber Union, Iron Horse Manor, and Tang Sect. A single smile or frown from Shen Zhaoying, the Azure Phoenix of Mount Hua, draws him even deeper into a whirlpool of grudges spanning the righteous and demonic factions.

His martial arts grow stronger, but his identity remains a mystery. Why did his parents disappear all those years ago? What sparked the feud between the Demon Sect and the righteous Sword Alliance? As the various forces gather in Chuanzhou, a storm over an antidote, loyalty, and his origins is quietly approaching, right where his blade points.
