Ning Shuqi's enemy was none other than the current family head of the Tianjian Mansion of Chu State, who was Duan Wuya, born into the Dong family and also Dongdong's biological father. The root of this enmity stemmed from both sides' parents.
At that time, although Duan Wuya's father was much older than Ning Shuqi's father, Ning Tiancheng, the two had compatible personalities and became close friends.
Latterly, both men earned the recognition of the spiritual treasure, the Fire Qilin Sword.
Originally, the two friends agreed to a contest to decide the ultimate master of the Fire Qilin Sword through their skills in the Sword Dao, which was also seen as fulfilling a remarkable tale.
Since the disappearance of the myth three hundred years ago, cultivators could no longer live forever; all they could pursue was fame.
