The Fall of Sizhou

In the city of Sizhou, the four great families maintained a delicate balance until the Chu clan aligned themselves with the demonic cult, while the Qiao clan remained devoted to righteous deeds. Overnight, the Qiao estate is subjected to a bloody massacre. Patriarch Qiao Shouzhuo leaps off a cliff with his six children to escape, where they encounter the last surviving heir of the Xiang family—a young monk who has tended a temple lamp for eighteen years. He reveals that the Chu clan seeks not merely their lives, but the mysterious Seven-Star birthmarks upon their chests. Bound by a newly forged pact and armed with ancient formations designed to subdue demonic practitioners, the seven survivors descend the mountain to exact their vengeance: slaying the imperial uncle, executing the three tyrants, and leveling the Chu residence to the ground.
