The Emperor of the Saliu Empire is a tyrant. Five years into his reign, the people are up in arms.
To fight the brutal emperor, the empire's Bloodhand Duke, a noble and elegant elven priest, a forthright and handsome dragon-riding commander of the guards, and the King of Assassins from the Land of Dustless Light form an assassination alliance.
After the alliance is formed, His Majesty not only eats and drinks well every day, but visibly grows plumper.
Alliance Leader: ...
The alliance leader says slowly, "There's a traitor among us."
The duke awkwardly puts away the decree he was drafting for His Majesty. The elven priest devotes himself to praying for the emperor's blessing. The dragon knight is still scolding his dragon for daring to fan His Majesty with its wings!
And the King of Assassins... The legendary King of Assassins, whom the alliance hired at great expense, said to have a thousand faces and a thousand hidden blades, glares darkly at a portrait of His Majesty. "I won't let him get away with this!"
The alliance leader's eyes light up with hope. "You..."
With a handprint on his face from His Majesty's slap, the King of Assassins says, "How dare he refuse my marriage proposal! Hah! This man has caught my attention."
The leader laments, "It's not just one traitor among us. We've got a whole crowd of them!"
Where the king's will points, there shall his subjects' blades strike.

Sword Venerable After Losing His Memory
Everyone says that Xie Yan of Huayang Sect is cruel and cold-blooded, beyond the tolerance of Heaven's Dao. That's why he was struck by lightning for three days and nights by the Wanshui River, earning him the nickname: the Thunderstruck Youxuan Sword Venerable.
Everyone also says that the Youxuan Sword Venerable is so lustful he can't tell men from women, which is why he kidnapped the Blade Demon and forced him to be his partner. The Blade Demon would rather die than submit, and fights the Sword Venerable day in and day out. They've even shaved down more than a dozen mountain peaks belonging to Huayang Sect.
Faced with all these rumors, Xie Yan wipes his sweat and says, "A misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding! Rumors are harmful! I am gentle by nature, and the Blade Demon and I are perfectly harmonious. There's no truth to claims that we don't get along!"
With a formation of a hundred thousand swords bearing down on him, the people say, "You're strong, so whatever you say must be right!"
