The Northern Blade Returns with a Knife

In the northern frontier, heavy snow falls. The Canglang tribe's three thousand old, weak, women, and children are slaughtered overnight by sworn brother Murong Yuan. Young master Xiao Lie crawls out from the pile of corpses, holding a scabbardless black knife, and travels south alone to Luoyang. He must uncover the truth and make his enemy pay blood for blood. But pursuers come one after another—Night Owl assassins, Murong family retainers, Wudang sect true disciples—each seeking his life. Worse, a heart meridian injury from three years ago leaves him only three years to live. In a mountain temple, he meets Duan Qingyan, heir of the Dali Duan clan. This seemingly frail scholar can shatter metal and jade with a single finger—the Six Meridian Divine Sword, unmatched in the world. A charred sheepskin scroll binds their fates together. "Your father's death and my father's death were caused by the same person." Deep in the Shaolin Sutra Library, the simple monk Xuan Xi accidentally learns a peerless divine skill but uncovers a century-old shocking injustice: the four major sects conspired to kill the "Northern Wolf Lord" and rewrote the distinction between righteous and evil in the martial world. Sworn brothers, sharing life and death. But when the truth would destroy the justice everyone believes in, will you still draw your knife? Old-school wuxia × suspenseful truth × brotherhood. Where the blade points is the way home.
