My name is Xu Yan, and I was born in a village in the Grand Wei Dynasty.
Since childhood, I've been emotionally indifferent, unconcerned about everything around me.
In my seventh year, an injured Cultivator stormed into my village, slaughtering indiscriminately, with no one to stop him. I was hidden by my parents in a cellar and escaped that calamity—or at least that's what I thought.
The Cultivator claimed to be from Heaven's Larceny Saint Sect. He extracted the souls of all the villagers, including my parents and siblings. Afterwards, he took me under his wing and taught me swordsmanship.
The tragic death of my family stirred the still waters of my heart for the first time. I hated someone for the first time, I was angry for the first time.
