• Sword Cultivators across Ten Thousand Sword Mountain converged on Li Yang after he arrived with the Sword Alliance Sword Chief’s token, while Chu Feng continued his pursuit.

With his group surrounded and victory unlikely, Li Yang headed for the central mountains to seek a way to form his nascent soul and encountered a rust-covered longsword of terrifying sharpness.
