Deep Feelings

In the Ancient Era, the Demon clan vanished without a trace. In more recent times, the Dragon Clan disappeared. The age when the divine way flourished had faded away like smoke, and the pinnacle of the flying swords era eventually fell into decline…
What has happened to this world?
Who will listen to the historical truth buried in the long river of time?
Bodies were strewn over a thousand miles of mountains and river; the harrowing hunger of tigers depicted across a hundred years of heaven and earth.
The impartiality of the cosmos is as heartless as ever,
Yet I possess a burning red heart—one that patrols the heavens!

Welcome to the Immortal Sword World, where emotions run deep.

Red Heart Patrols the Sky

Zhang Weiyu asked Zhongxuan Sheng whether he intended to use the Zhong Xuan Family as a guarantee for Jiang Wang.


It was both a show of his own confidence in harvesting gains from Qingyang Town and a warning to Zhongxuan Sheng—if Jiang Wang was implicated in treason, would Zhongxuan Sheng be willing to drag the Zhong Xuan Family into it?


Zhongxuan Sheng decisively replied that he shared both honor and shame with Jiang Wang. If Jiang Wang were implicated in treason, he would inevitably be part of it too.


At this point, it was Zhang Weiyu who took the initiative to sever their connection.


Sacrificing Jiang Wang into the abyss is vastly different in cost compared to dragging Zhongxuan Sheng down along with him.


One could say Jiang Wang committed treason, but to declare Zhongxuan Sheng treasonous was not an option.


Chen Fuchang once said something: regardless of position or task, one must always understand the implications of the word "measure."
