Story

Ling once belonged to the Finch Sect, a mysterious and feared order of assassins from the Cadia Riverlands. During a mission, he nearly lost his life but was saved by the Vermilion Bird; it was an encounter that would kindle his yearning for freedom. In a bargain to leave the Finch Sect, he undertook one last mission to infiltrate the Dragon Altar. It wasn't until he allied with Yu Zhong, the reincarnation of the Black Dragon, to break the seal of the Dragon Altar, that the spirit of the Vermilion Bird once again saved his life. Only then did he see the truth and understand the meaning of freedom. In this world, the Vermilion Bird had faded away, leaving only Ling, a young man with wings to soar freely among the clouds like the Cyan Finch. "From now on, you are the Vermilion Bird. When the bird's cry echoes through the Dragon Altar, you will soar." Ling was not like the other members of the Finch Sect—different in talent and circumstance. And he was treated differently by the elder. The Finch Sect, an order of assassins from the Cadia Riverlands, takes in orphans, training and honing them to be renowned killers. The disciples of Finch Sect are numerous, each with their own reasons for fighting. Some are blindly loyal to the Finch Sect, some were never given a choice, and others are driven by the pursuit of power... Whatever the reason, once one becomes a Finch of the Sect, their life belongs to it. Not a single Finch has ever left the nest. Ling became the prodigy of the Finch Sect at a young age. His skills had quickly surpassed his peers and he was known to have never failed a mission. The other members would often whisper: "That man is not like us. Perhaps one day, he will leave the Finch Sect and spread his wings." "But... what then?" A young Finch hesitantly interjected. He was met with silence. It was a good question. If they left the Sect, where could they go? At that moment, Ling sheathed his sword and leaped away. As the wind brushed his face, he suddenly recalled something from the past. When Ling was on a mission in his younger years, he encountered a bird merchant. The merchant raised beautiful birds for others to enjoy. But these birds were caged from birth and never experienced the freedom that was their natural right. Even if the cage door was opened, they wouldn't know where to go. At that time, a young man nearby suddenly said, "Something born with wings belongs in the sky. What a pity." Later, Ling became friends with that young man, who turned out to be a disciple of the Tianyin Swordmaster Sect named Zilong. The next time he met Zilong, Ling had changed his identity. That day, the Finch Sect elder summoned Ling, and behind heavy curtains, uttered only four words: "The time has come." The next day, Ling was sent on an impossible mission—to assassinate the guardian of the Dragon Altar, Baxia. Ling's sword was resolute, but Baxia was too formidable. Ling was no match for the veteran who survived the Battle of the Twin Dragons, ye
