Years ago, the Lingxiao Sword Sect was embroiled in internal strife.
Elder Apprentice Brother Mei Wangsu and Junior Apprentice Brother Mu Lichen broke into a fight, their internal struggle lasted for many years, sabotaging the promising future of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
The Heavenly Sword Sect dealt them fifty harsh blows, escorted the two brothers to Immortal Mountain, and locked each one in a small black room. The Lingxiao Sword Sect was then passed onto Lin Buyan. With his humble and diligent management, Lingxiao recovered, regaining its position at the pinnacle of cultivation forces in Yue Province.
Due to Lin Buyan's cautious approach towards the Heavenly Sword Sect, keeping them at arm's length, Mei Wangsu was reappointed. He was released from prison earlier for good behavior and was frequently taken to Bei Jun Mountain by Jing Ji to shape his character.
