Blade Mark of Mystery

In the Great Xuan Nation, the martial arts hierarchy is strictly stratified: eight great families guard the prefectures, ten top experts dominate the visible martial world, and three world-protecting martial venerables hide in remote mountain realms, overlooking the mortal strife. Lin Feng, an orphan of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, carries the lost bloodline of the Guardian Blade. To uncover the truth behind his wife Su Wanning's mysterious disappearance three years ago, he deliberately conceals his prowess and infiltrates the escort team tasked with bringing the Great Xuan Princess back to the country as an ordinary coachman. Along the way, the Eight Extremes Alliance and the Ghost Gate secretly collude, launching layers of ambushes; the mole Chu Jingxuan lurks within the team, and the young girl Zhou Qinghe blindly clings to the prestigious young master, repeatedly underestimating the restrained Lin Feng. Through successive bloody battles, Lin Feng slays the deputy leader of the Eight Extremes Alliance, awakens half-venerable bloodline in desperate situations, and forces back the deputy leader of the Ghost Gate, using his innate Guardian Blade bloodline that counters evil to break through crises time and again. A Ghost Gate token bearing his wife's finger marks unravels layers of conspiracy. While safeguarding the escort team, Lin Feng follows the clues to dig into the dark schemes, vowing to crush the Ghost Gate's plots, find his beloved, and cleave the oppressive gloom over the Great Xuan martial world with his meteoric iron mad blade. — Description from novelcodex.org
