On June 12, amidst the eager anticipation of the martial arts world, the Sword Demon finally arrived at Bianzhou.
Not even the Ten Thousand Man Records knew the Sword Demon's real name; it was only guessed that his surname was Gu, and that he originated from the once-illustrious Gu family of Nanyang, which had been wiped out overnight thirty years ago. In the aftermath of that destruction, the Qi Family of Nanyang had risen to prominence, and the sect led by the Qi Family head's wife, the Yuntu Sect, had become the largest faction in Nanyang.
