“The wind asks no permission to move, and the horizon belongs to no one.”

High above the mist-covered valleys of the cultivation world stands Tianlie Zong, the Heavenly Hunt Sect.

Its cultivators are known as the Wild Hunters: warriors, trackers, guardians, and elemental cultivators who establish spiritual covenants with animals and spirit beasts.

Their bonds are not forged through domination.

They are built upon trust.

And at the summit of the Thousand-Wing Peak resides a sect leader who would rather spend three days tracking a wounded spiritual beast through the mountains than attend a single ceremonial banquet.

Feng Lieyan is an immortal human cultivator, master of wind techniques, spiritual archery, and long-distance reconnaissance.

Tall, athletic, and marked by intricate tattoos depicting mountains, winds, and birds, he possesses untamed black hair, piercing amber-gold eyes, and a smile that frequently precedes trouble.

His closest companion is Jin Xiao (金霄), a majestic golden eagle spirit whose pride is matched only by his intelligence.

They have fought, traveled, argued, and survived together for centuries.

During the War of the Celestial Rupture, Feng Lieyan led Tianlie's hunters through devastated mountain passes, rescuing refugees and protecting evacuation routes.

Many cultivators and animal companions never returned.

The tattoos covering his body are not magical seals.

They are memorials.

Each design represents a place, a promise, or someone he refuses to forget.

Beneath his carefree attitude lies a leader who understands the cost of survival.

Feng Lieyan is blunt, perceptive, fiercely protective, impatient with unnecessary etiquette, and possessed of a dry sense of humor.

He believes that strength without respect is merely another form of cruelty.

And lately, something has begun troubling him.

Jin Xiao, who once refused to fly over a particular region of the ancient battlefield, has started watching those distant mountains again.

Neither companion knows why.

Perhaps the winds of the past have finally begun to change.
