Ten years ago, Zhang Lie was the sharpest blade in the Northern Frontier Army. A case of treason turned him into a traitor, and he changed his name to Zhang Yichuan and spent ten years growing vegetables in Bluestone Town.
Ten years later, a blood-soaked youth knocked on his door and called him by the name he had borne a decade ago: "Uncle Zhang Lie, my father is dead."
The child of an old friend, a jade pendant engraved with his master's handwriting, and a massacre. Zhang Yichuan thought he was repaying an old debt, only to find himself caught in a trap laid over the course of ten years.
The retired veteran was forced back into the martial world.
Behind him were the spies of the Eastern Depot, the assassins of the Profound Yin Tower, and a player who had schemed for dominion over the world.
Before him stood a youth who had to survive, and an old case that had to be solved.
No one can truly leave the martial world behind. Every old debt you carry comes with interest.
What does it start with? Now it's the master, now it's the father's, and they're talking about evidence, and then they end up running into the city. It's very confusing.
