THE CROWN PRINCE

Five years ago, Wei Wuxian vanished without a trace. Once the rebellious yet brilliant disciple of Yunmeng Jiang, his name became a whispered legend-a mystery unsolved. Expelled from the Lan Clan after striking Jin Zixuan, he returned to Yunmeng Jiang, only to disappear into the darkness of the night.

His last known battle took place in the treacherous Xuanwu Cave. Fighting alongside Lan Wangji, their combined swords struck down the monstrous beast-but when the dust settled, Wei Wuxian was gone.

Two years later, a rogue cultivator cloaked in white emerged from the shadows. With silent precision and unmatched skill, they aided the great sects in bringing down the Wen Clan, shifting the tides of war. Yet, their true identity remained shrouded in mystery.

Now, as the cultivation world struggles to maintain its fragile peace, a new terror rises. The once-sacred Linghua Grove has become a place of nightmares-whispers of an unseen force, lives taken in the dead of night, and fear that even the bravest dare not name. With darkness looming, the sect leaders have no choice but to seek the truth.
