The night the Meridian-Shattering Pill went down, Lin Chen finally understood: the Lin family had raised him for sixteen years for the sake of one bowl of medicine.
His sword meridians were shattered, and he was demoted to a menial servant. Before his father disappeared, he left him one message: I'm waiting beneath the stele.
The day he fell off the cliff, he landed in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords.
All one hundred thousand swords in the tomb bowed their heads to him at once.
Old Sword said, "The one the Sword Ancestor has been waiting for is here."
Ten thousand swords pay homage to their sovereign. When one sword rises, ten thousand answer.
Beneath the Heavenly Stele, his father is imprisoned, along with a conspiracy a thousand years in the making.
Lin Chen heads north with sword in hand. His first order of business is to return to the Lin family and reclaim that bowl of medicine.
