Three hundred li southwest of Guangling City lies a county town called Yan City.
During the era of the Republic, the Swallow Sect was renowned in this region.
However, since Swallow Li San was blasted to death by warlord cannons, the Swallow Sect's status in the worldly society plummeted to that of a minor faction.
Now, in these peaceful and prosperous times, the business of robbing the rich to aid the poor is not very lucrative, and the days for the Swallow Sect are even more difficult. It has come down to Sect Leader Yan the sixth, who only has three adopted orphans left, essentially rendering the sect existent in name only.
Misfortune never comes singly, as just recently, the sect's pillar, Yan the sixth, was injured by enemies and has been lying in bed for over a month. His breathing is so weak it appears he might pass away at any moment.
Shen Xingchen had rushed back last night and is currently attending to his master's sickbed.
