Sky Shadow

The story takes place in the Central Land of Shenzhou, where yin and yang divide heaven and earth and the five elements order the cosmos. It is an age when the immortal way flourishes and countless beings thrive; yet beneath the glory, silent shadows always move on. Ten years earlier, a youth under the alias Black Wolf went undercover in the demon cult and, at a critical moment, exhausted his own cultivation to save the people from disaster. Ten years later, Lu Chen, a shadow of the True Immortal Alliance, lives in seclusion in a mountain village, wanting only a quiet life, but the hidden forces of the demon cult are still tracking him, and the pursuit continues for years. To escape danger and survive, Lu Chen is forced to leave the village and join the Kunlun Sect, shrouded in the demon cult's shadow, becoming an utterly inconspicuous menial disciple; under orders from True Lord Tianlan, he secretly investigates the cult spies who have infiltrated the sect. Infiltration and counter-infiltration, trust and betrayal intertwine layer upon layer, and Lu Chen's mission is fraught with peril; and what secret lies within the Kunlun Sect that prompts the demon cult to stake its entire fortune on one desperate gamble? Black flames blaze as a great upheaval that will shake the three realms slowly begins. This is Xiao Ding's long fantasy novel after Zhu Xian, bringing the espionage-style infiltration, testing, and calculation of spies into the world of cultivation; it is a newly revised print edition, with the author's own preface at the front.
