Sealing the Abyss: Nine Layers

In the vast Blackstone Town, old blacksmith Chen Tie has raised a useless son for sixteen years. Three hundred years ago, an orphan; three hundred years later, a group's hope. The day the 'Abyss-Sealing Order' reappears, scattered old followers return one by one—one-armed blacksmith, Ma Sandao with his swift blades, Han Qijin carrying the Abyss-Slaying Blade, Blind Yan who has explored the road all his life, Liao Bo who saw black living threads deep in the mine... They do it for nothing else but the words of a man who died three hundred years ago: 'Some things must be done by someone.' Chen Yuan never wanted to be a hero. But the Abyss-Sealing Mark on his hand has awakened, the abyss cracks are widening, and his uncle in the Ninth Abyss is waiting for him. He must go on. Not because he wants to, but because no one else can. —'Sealing the Abyss: Nine Layers', a xuanhuan epic about 'choice'.
