Celestial Bane 2 and Celestial Bane were not the same author. Celestial Bane was a classic wuxia novel written by Xiao Ding. The Celestial Bane series included Celestial Bane, Celestial Bane II, and Celestial Bane III, which told the story of the protagonist, Zhang Xiaofan, who eventually became a martial arts leader after going through hardships. Other than Xiao Ding himself, other people had also written about the Celestial Bane series, but it was not Xiao Ding himself.
