When past and present collide. The official manhua (webcomic) adaptation of the New York Times bestselling danmei novel by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. Featuring stunning art by STARember, the webcomic produced by BILIBILI COMICS is now available in English print for the first time. The infamous Banyue State Preceptor has been captured and, unexpectedly, she recognizes Xie Lian and calls him "General Hua." As the truth of Xie Lian's past in the Kingdom of Banyue comes to light, he realizes that it wasn't the Preceptor who lured him and his companions here. Worse, she can't control the scorpion-snakes anymore--they heed someone else's commands. Meanwhile, Xie Lian is reeling from San Lang's transformation in the Sinner's Pit. The easygoing youth is a being of incredible power--and one without a heartbeat.

Instead of being unnerved or suspicious, Xie Lian finds himself reluctant to push San Lang away, despite the heavens-shattering name he now suspects belongs to the red-clad young man. Volume 5 includes episodes 50-60 of the original webcomic based on the webnovel Tian Guan Ci Fu published on JJWXC.
