"Decades ago, a man found the entrance to Kunlun Void. After meeting with me, he asked me to forge a standard-issue straight sword that would not break."
Queen Mother of the West recalled, "Kunlun excels at sword-forging, not blade-forging. I initially refused him, but that man knelt outside the gates of my Jade Pool for seven days and seven nights. Moved by his sincerity and his determination to defend the nation, I agreed to forge blades for him in my spare time between sword-forging.
"From then on, every ten years, I forged a batch of Star Sabers and had Soul Pearl deliver them outside Kunlun Void. By now, there should be several thousand of them."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye could not help asking:
"Who was that man?"
"His name was Nie Jinshan."
Nie Jinshan...
Lin Qiye murmured the name, feeling that it sounded familiar.
Nie Jinshan?! The first Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watchmen, Nie Jinshan?
When he had been at Night Watchmen Headquarters, he had read the biographies of the successive Commanders-in-Chief of the Night Watchmen. This Nie Jinshan had originally been the leader of Great Xia's 139th Special Biological Response Team. Not long after the Mist descended, he had founded the Night Watchmen upon the foundation of the 139th Special Biological Response Team.
So, back when the Night Watchmen had just been established, Commander Nie had found Kunlun Void, personally met the Queen Mother of the West's avatar, and obtained the Star Sabers?
No wonder the Night Watchmen had always emphasized that no matter what situation they faced, the Star Saber in their hands was a weapon they could trust. Even Commander Ye of old and Commander Zuo now had always used this blade. It had never broken, not even in battles against gods...
