You Said You Didn't Need Me to Wield Your Sword. Regretting It Now?

Nine years ago, the sinister spirits returned, and humanity was driven to the brink of extinction.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, five divine swords appeared. Su Bai, who had just transmigrated, was chosen to become a swordbearer.

To ensure humanity's survival, Su Bai single-handedly fought his way through the sinister spirits. He even spent a fortune building seven Sacred Dao Academies throughout the Great Liang Empire to suppress them.

In just twenty years, the sinister spirits could be wiped out completely!

But no one expected that, after nine peaceful years under Great Liang's rule, Su Bai would be betrayed by the adopted daughter he had raised and dragged before a tribunal.

“Swordbearer Su Bai neglected his duties, causing sinister spirits to attack the empire's border towns and leaving tens of thousands dead or injured!”

“He also misled the people and deceived the empress, embezzling the treasury to build numerous Sacred Dao Academies as dens of filth for his own amusement!”

“A swordbearer like that deserves to die!”

With the evidence laid bare, the people were furious. Almost everyone wanted to tear Su Bai apart and eat him alive.

Facing this, Su Bai was tired. He decided to retire for good and live a life of leisure.

But strangely, after his adopted daughter took up the divine sword and became the new swordbearer, then demolished all seven Sacred Dao Academies, everyone's attitude changed.

“Help! Why is there an SSS-rank sinister spirit in the royal capital of Great Liang?!”

“Why are sinister spirits attacking Great Liang's towns, killing a million people overnight?!”

Only when countless suppressed SSS-rank sinister spirits broke free of their seals and wreaked havoc across the realm did everyone realize that peace had only lasted because Su Bai was there!

The whole of Great Liang fell into despair. Led by the empress, people petitioned for Su Bai to return and wield the sword once more!

Su Bai gave a quiet laugh.

“You said you didn't need me to wield the sword. Why are you regretting it now?”
