In the Jin capital of Zhongdu, Guo Jing learns the truth of his father’s death and finds he is now betrothed, against his will, to two women. Neither of them is his sweetheart Lotus Huang.

Torn between following his heart and fulfilling his filial duty, Guo Jing journeys through the country of his parents with Lotus, encountering mysterious martial heroes and becoming drawn into the struggle for the supreme martial text, the Nine Yin Manual. But his past is catching up with him. The widow of an evil man he accidentally killed as a child has tracked him down, intent on revenge.

Meanwhile, his true parentage at last revealed, Yang Kang, the young prince Guo Jing must face in the Garden of the Eight Drunken Immortals, is forced to choose his destiny.

Excellent fun.

It took me a while to fall into the rhythm of the storytelling, but once in, it's musical. And a really fun listen.

Great story ruined by narrator

This was my favorite story growing up. I watched the TV series almost every summer of my middle school years. I finally decided to listen to the audiobook, only to be disappointed by the narrator who doesn’t appear to speak Chinese, thereby pronouncing the names in a way that makes my ears hurt. I’m thinking of buying the physical books and reading it instead of listening to it so I don’t have to cringe every time the narrator says Yang Kang or some other name that he badly mispronounces.

Superb!!!

Great book, Great characters and Richful story. The adventures just keep going and going. This is an excellent buy. Well worth it.

far reaching epic

classic tale. Saturday afternoon Kung Fu theater revisited. There is no let off from the first book, and he continues to add complexity to the characters we know, and doesn't skimp on the ones introduced.

Awesome.

This series just keeps getting better. Lots of improvement from our main character in this book and I'm excited to see where it goes next!

almost fell off.

the reader kept me on the edge of my seat with this amazing narration. will be continuing the series

this volume is exciting to follow the development of main characters

what a great discovery - this taught me a lot of traditional Chinese culture, please bring the next volumes to Audible
