A Scholar's Blade

I was nothing but an ordinary scholar, hoping to pass the imperial examinations and earn an official post. But on my way home, I discovered that my family had suffered a calamity: my parents and older sister had been killed. Framed and thrown in prison, I was sent to a mine to dig for ore. Yet there, I stumbled into the world of immortal cultivation. You ask me what an immortal is, what a demon is? My blade is the only answer you’ll get.
