The few people behind Yun Xuan watched him like this, wanting to speak yet holding back.
They had heard of Yun Xuan's background.
Back then, Yun Xuan had merely been a little beggar begging on the streets. He had a younger sister.
The two siblings had depended on each other for survival.
Then, on a snowy day, his younger sister was killed by an arrogant, willful cultivator. That cultivator was Han Bingruo.
After learning the news, Yun Xuan resolutely sought out Han Bingruo to avenge her. But how could an ordinary mortal possibly defeat Han Bingruo, whose cultivation had already reached the Mahayana realm?
With merely a puff of breath, Han Bingruo could have sent Yun Xuan's soul scattering and reduced him to ashes.
Just as Han Bingruo was about to casually kill Yun Xuan, another figure appeared.
That person was Han Bingruo's father, Han Bingshang, the current Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Han Bingshang saw Yun Xuan's talent in the sword path, but there was a life-and-death feud between Yun Xuan and his daughter.
To settle the trouble once and for all without losing such a promising sword cultivator, Han Bingshang made a decision.
He placed a Life-and-Death Gu on Yun Xuan and Han Bingruo. The Life-and-Death Gu bound their lives together; they would live together and die together.
If one of them died, the other would certainly not fare well either.
Once the Life-and-Death Gu was planted, Han Bingshang was relieved. With it restraining Yun Xuan, even after Yun Xuan grew stronger in the future, he would not seek trouble with his daughter.
And afterward, things truly unfolded as Han Bingshang had expected. Yun Xuan was a genuine sword-path prodigy, a born sovereign of the sword path, as though he had been born for the sword.
