The narrator tells us that the imperial academy has a lot of talented geniuses, but one of them is a sixteen-year old student named Xinghe. He's from an ordinary school, and he's trampled on the pride of the other geniuses in the academy. Xinghe has injured a prince, fought against the emperor's men, and defeated a black-feather guard. As time passes by, the imperial court's actions seem perplexing. The narrator asks Xinghe if he wants to live anymore. He tells him that he just got news that he was in the capital and wanted to warn him about the emperor, and that there are things he needs to deal with. He also wants to know who is the most powerful member of the divine swords family. The feng-yi swordsman has been declared to be the pinnacle of heaven's ninth realm, but his ordinary experts are no match for him. The divine sword family has over twenty experts in the ninth heaven, as well as secret guards with extraordinary strength. The most powerful person in the current generation is the feng-ying swordsman. He has mastered his sword-fighting skills to the extreme, and ordinary experts can't compete with him. Other than him, there are other divine swordsmen who are even more powerful than him. There's a rumor that the emperor has recruited seven divine sword experts, but the narrator doesn't know how he managed to do it.
