One snowy night atop Lingxiao Peak, a righteous sect with a hundred-year legacy is reduced to ashes.
Young disciple Lin Yan escapes death with half of an evil-slaying broken sword in hand, carrying his sect's blood feud into the martial world.
The baleful energy returns, and Lady Jueying massacres the righteous sects as turmoil engulfs the martial world. From the ancient lands of the yellow sands to the shores of Yunmeng Marsh, from snow-covered mountains to the ruins of a deserted capital, he follows the trail of the culprit, uncovering step by step a shocking case buried for thirty years.
The Martial Venerable who sacrificed himself for the righteous path, the immortal maiden who died beneath the cliff, the demoness who bore the blame: who was righteous, and who was evil?
The day the broken sword is reforged will be the day the truth is settled.
