Zhang Laoxi

In an era brimming with noise, where danger and opportunity coexist, the practice of martial arts, various folk customs, strange tales, taboos, imperial courts, and the world of martial artists abound. Among these are the grandmasters, magical duels, ghostly encounters, divinations, invoking the divine, ritual plays, esoteric Buddhism, and the pursuit of immortality. 
In this diverse and complex world, where the three teachings intermingle and all kinds of people abound, the sphere of mysticism is filled with folklores and bizarre stories. 
It's a tumultuous time, where danger and opportunity exist side by side. 
Striding with his saber, Li Yan is determined to dispel all evil and embrace a world free from any taboo!

The Blade-Wielding Legend

Far away, a mouse hid and called out, not daring to come closer.


The Yin Thunder was muffled, but living creatures could instinctively sense danger.


Li Yan caught the scent and slowly ceased his exercise and opened his eyes; then the mouse scurried towards him, scrambling around in front of him.


Having glanced a few times at the strip of cloth he had taken off, Li Yan picked up a charcoal pencil and wrote "Rest to stay prepared, act opportunistically" on it, then tied it to the mouse's leg and let it go.


Watching the mouse quickly disappear into the darkness, Li Yan couldn't help but praise, "Lv San's abilities are really useful!"


In fact, ever since Lv San from Wu Family Gully had returned and shouldered the case alone, Li Yan had wanted to recruit him.


No other reason was needed—although everyone in the pugilistic world talked about loyalty, such responsible men were increasingly rare.


Moreover, Lv San's abilities should not be underestimated.
