Many years ago, Jest arrived in Snow City with a large wound across his chest and over ten attackers on his tail.
It was when he was roaming the world, challenging one swordsman after another in the hope that he would find a way to break past the Sword Saint stage.
Back then, he accidentally entered a forbidden zone where a Sword King lived. When he discovered what a blunder he had made, he apologized and left, but he didn't get far before he was attacked.
He managed to escape, but not before he had his chest split open by the Sword King.
Back then, Sword Kings were a big deal, so when word got out that a mere Sword Saint broke into the cultivation garden of a Sword King, Jest had to go on the run since all who wanted to suck up to the sword king came after him.
Today, as he entered Snow City, memories of that chilling encounter came to mind, and he just couldn't help but smile inwardly.
'I wonder if that bastard is still alive.'
