One hundred and thirty years ago, war broke out between the sects and the state.
After ten years of brutal fighting, the land lay shattered and the people wept blood.
At last, the Great Yu Dynasty and the alliance of the eight great sects met in a decisive battle at Shanyang Pass. Both sides lost their elite forces, leaving neither able to fight on.
The people on both sides finally found peace.
One hundred and twenty years later, a young man from a small family in the borderlands of the Great Yu Dynasty takes up a three-foot sword and shakes the mountains and rivers.
Better to let the guilty go free than to kill the innocent.
Kill the guilty! Guilt means wrongdoing!
