Had fate taken another turn, he could have become the most devout Buddhist. In the thirteenth year of Tianhe, when the Emperor took personal control of the government, Xie Yao, with little time left to live, slipped into the martial world with a eunuch. Before he died, he wanted to pay his respects to his master and take in the sights of this land. Good food, fine wine, beautiful scenery... Wait, where did this shameless man come from?
