Features: This volume includes "Tiger Fang" and "Azure Cloud Ancient Teeth," and the word count far exceeded my expectations. The reason for the overwhelming word count was the explosion of character relationships. Su Shunqing's appearance exposed the background of the "Thirty-Year Bloodshed" of the Tianqu Warrior Corps. This background explains Yi Tianzhan's betrayal, the complex relationship between Ying Wuyi's teacher, Bai Yi, and the Tianqu Corps, as well as Xi Yan's bandit past. In an instant, countless characters surged forth. I tried to draw their relationships on a scrap of paper, starting from the "Seven Kings" of the past and ending with the new generation's "Seven Kings." Eventually, I had to wrap from the front to the back of an A4 sheet to complete this terrifying character relationship diagram. I sensed that I was in danger; in the future, I would likely need an entire wall in my home to complete the character relationship chart for The Mysterious Records of the. Its scale made it increasingly resemble a real historical chronicle, and the more it did, the more overwhelmed I felt. The story fragments derived from real history felt beyond my power to contain. The immense power of history was like a raging dragon—it was not something one person could grasp. That's why the publication date was slightly delayed. I spent a lot of time organizing and coordinating, and I ask for everyone's forgiveness. Here is a small preview: The Mysterious Records of the·Tiger Soul is next on the publication list. With the appearance of the four great generals of Donglu, the lion-like Ying Wuyi, and the white wolves of the Northern Shaan, we will enter the true battlefield of the late Yin and early Xian. If you are still interested in continuing to unfold this chaotic and bloody era, I will wait for you at the end of the scroll. —Jiang Nan
Chapter Gun Yin, the Emperor's Year, October. At the foot of the Giant Lu Plain in the southern slope of the River Lock Mountains, amidst the muddled incense smoke of camphor trees, the shamans clapped their hands above their heads and sang, dancing around the fire. The feudal lords of the Yin Dynasty, wearing tall hats and flowing sleeves, advanced in a winding manner, offering the blue jade and white jade tablets with the eight-bowalty. Meanwhile, the person seated in the center of the military pavilion returned the gesture with seven bows, thus completing the "Gift of Jade Tablets" ceremony for supremacy. This was the scene at the "River Lock Alliance." The brutal "River Lock Battle" ended with this grand assembly of feudal lords and officials. At this moment, fine snowflakes fluttered, but they could not hide the countless unburied corpses on the battlefield of the Giant Lu Plain. Seven hundred years after the founding of the Yin Dynasty, it finally welcomed its first feudal lord to achieve supremacy. Li Guo Ying Wuyi stood out from the crowd, relying on his powerful and fierce army that had terrified the nations, firmly grasping the authority of the imperial court, and proclaiming the arrival of a new era.
