Xie Baichuan, ranked first among the seven Sword Masters, had reached the Innate Peak in his cultivation.
His skin was withered, and at nearly a hundred years of age, his face was etched with deep wrinkles. Blind in one eye, he looked like an ordinary old man who might draw his last breath at any moment.
