Ten years ago, the 'Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion'—the martial arts holy land of the Great Yan Dynasty—was brutally annihilated by a coalition of the incompetent emperor, the hypocritical martial arts alliance 'Upright Qi Sword Alliance,' the 'Great Compassion Temple,' and a traitor within. The pavilion held damning evidence against both the imperial court and the jianghu underworld. Three thousand pavilion members were slaughtered; the elder master was captured; and Wang Langlang—the youngest prodigy—had his dantian shattered and was cast into the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave, his fate unknown.
