"It was said that Yan Shisan imprisoned himself because of his Family Swordplay.
Rumor had it that Yan Shisan also came from a family of swordmasters!
His Family Swordplay, the Thirteen Swords of Life-Taking, was one of the finest sword arts in Great Ming.
It belonged among the very greatest Grandmaster-level sword arts.
Yet Yan Shisan, the Sword Demon, was anything but ordinary.
Beyond those thirteen swords, he had forcibly forged a fourteenth sword.
It was said that this fourteenth sword had already reached the Heavenly Realm.
However, during his battle with Xie Xiaofeng, it was said that he had taken another step beyond it and created a fifteenth sword.

far off its intended path.
Still, after using that sword, Yan Shisan understood that his strength was simply insufficient to control the fifteenth sword.
Thus, he imprisoned himself.
Under such circumstances, the Sword God and the Sword Demon both vanished from the Jianghu."
