Striding with his saber, Li Yan is determined to dispel all evil and embrace a world free from any taboo!

The Blade-Wielding Legend

Golden Swallow Sect is an intelligence organization.


Compared to the inns of the pugilistic world, the intelligence of Golden Swallow Sect is focused more on the court and business, adept at mingling among the residences of the powerful.


Li Yan had come into contact with this organization during his time in Shan State.


One instance was at Manchuan Pass, where he, through the introduction of Cao Gang leader Han Kun and his old flame, learned of Lv San's intelligence…


Another instance occurred in Pingkang Square. Zhao Wanfang, the Oiran of Qingyuan Building with whom he was on good terms, had joined Golden Swallow Sect and attempted to leverage its power to take revenge on Zhao Changsheng…


Of course, this organization is also relatively loose.


It is somewhat like the Pai Sect. Though they belong to the same sect, each has its own power division, and the internal harmony is lacking, with even instances of brethren fighting against each other.
