For a hundred years, the Lu family suffered wrongful accusations. The entire household was wiped out, leaving only one son, Lu Zheng, alive.
Bearing a blood feud against his family’s killers, he emerged from the depths of the mountains and entered a chaotic world with the only Compassionate World Flute under heaven.
The flute can suppress evil, heal wounds, amplify cultivation, and command the martial world’s heroes. It is a rare treasure capable of reshaping the balance of power in the jianghu.
The Qingyun Sect is renowned for its false virtue. In public, it claims to seek the flute to save the world; in secret, it refines bloodlines, usurps the flute’s power, and lays a web of sinister schemes, slaughtering its enemies and framing the Lu family with a century of infamy.
Greedy opportunists from across the jianghu swarm in. Everyone wants the flute, and everyone gets drawn into the game. Traps woven from genuine and counterfeit divine flutes fill the land with murderous intent.
Lu Zheng is upright and patient, concealing his strength. He neither acts like a brute nor plays the self-sacrificing saint.
He uses a fake flute to lure his enemies and turns their greed against them, letting the various factions tear each other apart while he watches the wolves devour one another;
with the real flute, he suppresses evil and turns the tables in dire straits, dismantling the conspiracy at the highest level one step at a time.
The coolheaded and brilliant Su Qingwan, a holy maiden charged with protecting the flute, is skilled with silver needles and lip-reading. Together, they break through encirclements, investigate mysteries, expose schemes, and clear the Lu family’s name, stirring the entire jianghu as partners side by side.
The sect splits, mountain strongholds conceal dark secrets, and hidden plots abound, peeling back the layers of long-buried secrets from the martial world.
When every illusion has finally shattered, Lu Zheng wields the Compassionate World Flute to command both righteous and wicked forces and restore order. He brings down a century of conspiracy, clears the Lu family’s name once and for all, and ultimately becomes the one who controls the fate of the jianghu.
