Sabotage is an art. Cha Ming plans to paint a masterpiece…

A war between angels and devils is in full swing, and it’s a war Cha Ming can’t avoid. To deal a preemptive blow, he journeys to the South. His mission? Infiltrate the Wang family. Incriminate it. Then break it.

Back in Gold Leaf City, Wang Jun is in a neck-and-neck competition with his brother. He’s given up on fairness and will use any means necessary to win. Hong Xin and her courtesans are helping him from the shadows, but as head of the Red Dust Pavilion, she has her own worries…

Meanwhile, a dark creature has escaped its ancient prison. It devours everything in its wake. Feng Ming and the old Sea God Emperor fight to buy everyone precious time, because this time, the plane itself is at stake.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’m Patrick Laplante, and I write cultivation fantasy. In cultivation stories, the main character powers up and trains all the time to fight even stronger villains. Think Dragon Ball Z. Or Naruto. Or any RPG game.

I wasn’t always a writer. I started off my adult life as a humble engineer. It took me seven years of working for a soul-sucking corporation to realize that my true love was writing all along (please don’t tell my wife and child).

I like games. Board games. Role-playing games. Computer games. You name it. I like strategy games like Chess and Go as well. I used to do martial arts, but then I got injured too often, so I don’t do too much of that anymore.

There is nothing on this earth more satisfying than reading a good book. You know the kind I’m talking about – it takes your heart and smashes it to pieces, then builds you a new heart. A better heart.

That’s the kind of book I look for as a reader. It’s also the kind of book I try to deliver as a writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent story from a great series

I wish these came out more frequently. Cha Ming and Huxian are wonderful characters. The novel has an interesting buildup of subterfuge and sabotage leading to a large conflict. Sticking it to the bad guy can get so messy. I love the world, the beasts and the people that the story follows. I definitely appreciated the what went before at the beginning as I'm not binging these.

Very well done intricate story, with some notable historical parallels to our world. Some underlying social commentaries reminiscent of Gene Roddenberry, even (I know...different genre). Love the story. Looking forward to more about the MC. I can't get enough of the underdog succeeding against all odds theme.

Patrick surprised the heck out of me with some of the twists in this one. It’s one of the most well written Wuxia series out there in my opinion .

This series has been one of, if not my favorite of the entire wuxia/cultivation genre. There is a great progression, multiple stories that all intertwine, humor, and a great amount of detail. I am excited to read the many more books to come in Cha Ming's journey

Fast paced with lots of great battle scenes, deep intrigue, moral choices and character development, this is a solid addition to Patrick's epic Wuxia series. I'm now eagerly awaiting book 9!

A nice read. I enjoyed the story but I'm starting to get bored with it. The North and South fighting or getting ready to fight is just boring. I miss the crafting that was in other though I did like the the MC trip to the South. I'm just not sure if I will get the next one

An awesome continuation of a great series. Following Cha Ming as he grows in power and knowledge, gains more skills, and explores new proffessions in an immersive world that makes the book hard to put down. As always leaves you craving the next in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Infiltration
Reviewed in Australia on April 18, 2021
Verified Purchase
This entry was good. Cha is on a mission of infiltration. What I liked about this ark was the interactions of Cha and the people he met along the way. No matter how rotten a system is there are good people who just want a safe place to live and raise their children. Back in the north the political games continue and someone is killing off Hong's rivals. A series that 8 books in has maintained it's quality of storytelling and entertainment. The only fly in the ointment is the Yama part of the prologue. This time it's ghostface instead of blackface while a mayoral election in the underworld. I don't know about other readers but these asides don't quite feel right for the story and add very little. Eager to read the next one.
