The two major families had been locked in an open and covert struggle for ages, serving as each other's mortal enemies. Yet because their overall strengths were so evenly matched, neither side had been able to gain the upper hand despite fighting for so many years.
Consequently, the Yuwen Family dispatched Yuwen Qian and her brother to Tianxuan Villa to participate in the Sword Trial Assembly. As long as they could bring back the legendary sword slumbering within the underground world of Tianxuan Villa, the delicate balance of power would tilt in favor of the Yuwen Family, finally drawing the curtain on years of bitter rivalry.
The Zhuo Family undoubtedly caught wind of the Yuwen Family's intentions, which was why they deliberately sent someone to abduct Yuwen Qian. In truth, their real target was never Yuwen Qian at all, but rather Yuwen Tianji, who was participating in the tournament! Once Yuwen Qian was kidnapped, Yuwen Tianji would inevitably give chase. Even if Yuwen Tianji managed to successfully kill the man in black, he could not simply stand by and watch his sister suffer from poison. This would successfully disrupt Yuwen Tianji and prevent him from continuing in the competition!
