Yuezhou.
Pengshan County.
Beiyin River.
Wang Tuan stood on the southern bank, hands clasped behind his back, expressionless, a trace of desolation lingering in his heart.
In the past, Revival Three Ancestors of Taixu Sword Sect led the sect to sweep across the Seven States, reigning supreme for four hundred years. Yet in the following three centuries, decline set in relentlessly. By his generation, only one county remained under their rule—a sorry state akin to their situation eight hundred years ago.
And that was not all.
This time, Yuezhou's remaining thirteen counties—the Six Great Sects—had issued a challenge to Taixu Sword Sect. The outcome of one battle would decide their fate: if Taixu Sword Sect lost, even their last stronghold of Pengshan County would have to be surrendered.
No home left to call their own.
The former hegemon, reduced to this, drew sighs from outsiders and heartfelt sorrow from the members of Taixu Sword Sect like Wang Tuan.
