Shadow of Poison

In Xuanzhou Continent, five major powers vie for control. Ling Zi, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, appears lively and charming but is actually a poison genius driven by revenge. A secret letter reveals the truth of her birth—her parents were killed by the valley master Mo Shang. To reclaim her parents' legacy and uncover the conspiracy, Ling Zi steals the valley's treasure, the Ten Thousand Poison Cauldron, and embarks on a journey of escape and revenge. Along the way, she meets Qing Chen, a discarded disciple of Qingyun Temple; Da Xiong, a turncoat senior brother; and Yun Yao, the former palace master of the hidden Lingxi Palace. Through life-and-death battles, she masters the Erosion Skill, Flowing Cloud Palm, and Lingxi Twelve Forms, using poison as her path and killing as her heart. When her enemy stands in the shadows of Sword Lake Cave, Ling Zi grips her Qilin Sword, behind her the martial world she has forged. 'From today on, I set the rules of Xuanzhou.' Where the shadow of poison passes, nothing grows. With the Ziwei sword in hand, the world bows to her.
