"The Heaven Defying Seven Devil Blades had reappeared. Its user was called Chen Nan. The man recorded in the ancient accounts had appeared. My Du Family could not sit idly by..."
Deep within the sacred grounds of the Du Family Mystic Realm, peace had been shattered by news from the Human Realm. Tao Ran, an unparalleled expert from Jin Country on the Eastern Continent, had been slain by the mysterious young powerhouse Chen Nan. It was said that the saber technique he used could manifest an external incarnation and was extraordinarily mystical.
The Du Family proclaimed itself the imperial clan of the Eastern Lands and had naturally kept watch over major events there. When this news returned, some of the Du Family's most ancient old monsters were roused.
Chen Nan's appearance meant that their betrayal from years ago might finally be reckoned with. However, the truth of the matter remained uncertain, so the Du Family did not act rashly. Instead, they dispatched more experts to gather intelligence and investigate everything about Chen Nan.
As the Du Family began to move, a storm swept through the entire Mystic Realm. Naturally, Yan Kuan, who was comprehending the Heavenly Origin at the core of the Mystic Realm, learned of it. After remaining in seclusion for many days, he released his divine sense across the Eastern Continent, ensuring that certain matters would not slip beyond his control.
The Human Realm had been rather unsettled lately. The opening of the Four Great Academies' youth powerhouse tournament had drawn out young experts one after another.
Outstanding students from the Four Great Academies, rising experts from the major sects, and even, according to rumor, heirs of the Six Ancient Heretical Paths had all emerged. Amid this turbulent unrest, a figure silently descended deep within Divine Wind Academy.
