Hard to Guide the Immortal Through the Mortal Dust (Shi Chen Nan Du Xian)

Ying Laixian had a haunting nightmare. In the dream, a brilliant, dazzling red caught the eye, and corpses piled up like mountains everywhere. He kept running outward, and then… he woke up. Twelve years ago, the Jianghu’s premier martial arts sect, the Changye Temple, was completely wiped out overnight in a bizarre manner, leaving behind not a single trace of a clue. Twelve years later, rumors circulated that the destroyed Changye Temple had left behind a colossal treasure, driving people across the realm to fight over it until their heads were broken and blood flowed. At the same time, Ying Laixian the “Jade-Like Gentleman” who had never once walked the Jianghu finally showed his face, accompanied constantly by Tan Congye, the lord of Yishui City, who typically cared nothing for worldly disputes. For a time, whether in the martial arts world or the imperial court, opinions were divided. Some said that the Jade-Like Slim Snow and the Lord of Yishui City had long been entangled in a secret romance, while others claimed they had joined forces to swallow the Changye Temple treasure for themselves. Tan Congye: “What do you make of this?” Ying Laixian: “I only want the truth.” Ying Laixian hadn’t lived all that long, but he certainly had died a fair few times. Therefore, when someone asked him what kind of person could give him a sense of security, he said “It should be someone who asks nothing at all, walks right in, grabs my hand, and says, ‘Come with me.’” In the fifteenth year of Nanan, various Jianghu sects captured Ying Laixian to use as a hostage, demanding that the Demonic Cult’s young master hand over the previous dynasty’s imperial jade seal, which contained the secret manual for eternal life. That very night, someone arrived covered head-to-toe in wind and snow. Swathed in a freezing chill and with bloodshot eyes, Tan Congye uttered only a single sentence “Come with me.” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Hard to Guide the Immortal Through the Mortal Dust (Shi Chen Nan Du Xian) — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
