Tales Of Dark River

Within the martial underworld known as the jianghu, Dark River stands as the most enigmatic and feared assassin organization. Governed by three powerful families—the Su, Xie, and Mu—its hierarchy culminates in a supreme leader known as the Great Chief. When the Great Chief is struck down by a deadly poison that pushes him to the brink of death, the fragile balance of power shatters. Sensing an opportunity to seize control, all three factions mobilize their forces and launch a ruthless rebellion against their dying commander. Amid this treacherous uprising, Su Muyu remains steadfastly loyal. As the commander of Spider's Shadow, the elite escort unit tasked with protecting the Great Chief, he embarks on a desperate mission to save his leader's life. He seeks out Bai Hehuai, a legendary miracle doctor from Medicine King Valley, hoping to find a cure for the incurable poison. Simultaneously, Su Muyu must fend off relentless waves of assassins dispatched by every family within Dark River. Yet his greatest trial emerges not from his enemies, but from within his own ranks: his closest friend, Su Changhe, has joined the assassination plot, stepping forward as the designated killer representing the Su family.
