In the fortieth year of the Dajing era, the sword immortal Shen Shi suddenly appeared, bringing with him the Qingshan Sword, a treasured blade that had been missing for more than six hundred years. He shattered the illusion of peace in the martial world, and warriors from across the land gathered in Qingyang City to claim the divine sword.
Shen Jiu descended from Fuyu Mountain and won the Qingshan Sword at the sword debate tournament. From then on, he was swept up in the struggles of the martial world. He met Ji Chen, traveled the realm with him, and formed an unbreakable bond.
In the autumn of the fortieth year of the Dajing era, the martial world was in turmoil, with undercurrents swirling beneath the surface.

He was no more than a pawn on Ji Chen's board, a blade in his hand. After that, Shen Jiu vanished from the martial world, nowhere to be found.
Five years later, in Mingqi City, at a family banquet at the Yu residence, Ji Chen finally saw again the figure who had appeared only in his dreams. The two were reunited...
