When the Heaven Sword Is Reforged, the Martial World Will Return

Lin Chen, leader of the Beggars' Sect, fights a bloody battle at Dushikou to escort Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji back to the capital. Struck by a deadly cold poison, he receives help from Wudang, Emei, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and uses the Nine Yang Manual to break through to the Innate Realm. Afterward, he proposes a "national debt" policy to the new ruler, then suggests restarting the voyages to the Western Seas and using trade to generate profits. Meanwhile, Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu secretly contacts the Tang Clan, laying his plans step by step. Tang Tianxing, the clan leader, rekindles his desire for revenge over his son's death, as undercurrents in the martial world converge with those in the imperial court. Outside Dezhou City, Lin Chen takes on five Grandmasters alone, then escorts Zhu Zhanji back to the capital to take the throne.
