[Classic xianxia + settling karmic debts + the weight of ordinary people + play the pig to eat the tiger + a sword cultivator’s comeback + decisive and ruthless]
“You cultivate immortality to live forever. How will you repay the karmic debts you owe all living beings?”
The giants of the immortal sects prey on others with usurious loans. Rogue cultivators across countless sects are saddled with life-borrowing contracts and reduced to spiritual slaves and beasts of burden.
At a sword shop in a small town, Ye Xiao, a seventeen-year-old blacksmith with no cultivation, closes up punctually at the third quarter of the You hour.
He practices no immortal arts. With nothing but a rusty broken sword in hand, he specializes in settling the world’s karmic debts, even those long written off as uncollectible!
The more karma you owe all living beings, the heavier his broken sword becomes!
A Foundation Establishment cultivator smashes his stall by force? One sword shatters both knees, then crushes the bones in his hand to collect the price of a bowl of wontons!
An immortal sect steward forces him to sign a blood pact? He swings his sword and topples the formation, smashing the black-gold sign of the Spirit Manor!
A Golden Core elder takes to the air with a formation to intimidate him. He draws his sword and marks the ground...
Thirty years of karmic debt from the earth’s spiritual veins surges back like thunder, shattering the entire immortal sect!
“Debts must be repaid. That’s only right. Tonight, I’ll settle this uncollectible debt for you!”
