"Senior brother."
The truth of their bond ran deeper than any ordinary relationship.
Ye Tian and the Sword Demon, whose real name was Ye Zhao, had learned the art of cultivation and martial mastery from the same master.
Bound by the unbreakable ties of shared teachings and hardships, the two considered each other brothers... a relationship which was higher than any other in their eyes.
To them, brotherhood was sacred.
To them, being brothers wasn't just a label... it was everything.
It was a bond that forged through years of trust, sacrifice, and love.
They had been raised to protect each other, to be willing to give their lives away for one another without hesitation.
Their master had taught them this lesson, not through words but through action. A lesson that they would carry for the rest of their lives.
Ye Tian had not been born into a life of privilege.
He was an orphan... a frail child abandoned by the world.
