The Bandit 1 · Youth'S Journey

The master-level author Priest's monumental work in ancient Chinese novels

One day, you will cross the silent and tranquil Ximo River, leave the old Peach Blossom Land embraced by mountains, and arrive beneath the boundless, gloomy night sky

You will witness countless insurmountable mountains collapsing one after another, and untraversable seas drying up into fields

You must remember that your fate hangs by a thread, and that thread must always point forward

May you glimpse the light of heaven before the cold iron blade

Twenty years ago, "Southern Blade" Li Hui was ordered to become a bandit, establishing the Forty-Eight Villages of Shushan and gathering all the down-and-out individuals from across the land

Twenty years later, a boy claiming to be Xie Yun infiltrated the Forty-Eight Villages at night with the "Anping Order". From then on, Gantang emerged from the mountains, and the winds of change began to stir again

As a descendant of the "Southern Blade," Zhou Fei grew up in the Forty-Eight Villages, yet had never witnessed the true nature of the martial world. All of this changed after meeting Xie Yun, leading her off her original path

The rivers and lakes are shrouded in stormy weather, and the once carefree youths have been inexplicably drawn into a catastrophe. The secret that has been sealed for twenty years is about to be unveiled
