First Meeting with Jia Xuan (Request Subscription, Request Tickets)

In the late Tang Dynasty, the realm was in chaos. Military governors carved up the land, and heroes rose one after another. In Tianyou Year 4, the Liang King usurped the Tang and established Great Liang, changing the era name to Kaiping and making Kaifeng its capital. He became known as the Great Liang Founding Emperor.

In a remote mountain village within Great Liang, Xiao Xie slowly opened his eyes inside a dilapidated thatched hut. Feeling the sudden influx of memories, he shook his head uncomfortably.

This time, Xiao Xie's identity was that of an ordinary commoner in Great Liang. To ensure he would not have too many ties, just as before, he was once again an orphan.

"Great Liang, the three famous assassin groups of the martial world: Xuanming Sect, Tongwen Pavilion, and Huanyin Workshop. The Zong Family of the Central Plains, Yulong Stronghold of the Northern Lands, and Mingfeng Pavilion of the Southern Border, along with the mysterious Yuling Group... This world is certainly lively." After sorting through the memories in his mind, Xiao Xie smiled with amusement.

However, because Xiao Xie's identity this time was merely that of an ordinary commoner, these memories contained only the most commonplace martial-world news known to regular people.

"The last time news of the Longquan Sword spread through the martial world was six years ago. That means Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan are still studying under Yang Shuzi, and it will be another two years before they officially enter the martial world. Nineteen years ago, Zong Shuai of the Central Plains, Wanyan Zang of the Northern Lands, and Wen Taiji of the Southern Border fought for supremacy over the realm. Because all three factions suffered grievous losses, they established a twenty-year truce. Now, only one year remains until that truce expires."
