Martial Arts of the Sichuan Tang Clan

Hidden Weapon Arts (暗器術): The most representative technique is the Rain of Flowers from the Heavens (滿天花雨). It is characterized by filling every space the enemy could evade with a barrage of projectiles.

Poison Arts (毒功): Categorized into Poison Manipulation, the art of handling and spreading poison, and Poison Qi, which builds toxicity within internal energy to inflict damage upon impact. "Poison and medicine are one."

The Sichuan Tang Clan's stronghold possessed a strange, damp yet ornate beauty, befitting a family of poison and hidden weapons. Red lanterns flickered atop the high walls, and the scent carried by the wind was sweet yet somehow fishy. The inner garden where the Clan Head, Tang Cheon-ak, resided was quiet, but within that silence hung a tension as taut as poison ready to burst.

There, the youngest daughter, Tang Yul, was maintaining her sword in her quarters, casting a cold gaze toward her older brother, Tang Mun.
