The Southwest Eight Demons were originally eight great bandits of Jianghu. By a twist of fate, they became disciples of the swollen Daoist and learned to refine Flying Swords. They indulged in looting, despised men, bullied women, and committed all manner of evils. Each year, they sent the gold, silver, and beauties they robbed to the swollen Daoist for his enjoyment as a form of tribute.
When the Immortal Slaying Sword appeared in Jianghu, many Sword Immortals took notice. Ordinary people hearing a sword dare to be named "Immortal Slaying" wanted to see just how powerful it was. The powerful ones deduced that it was the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword that had escaped from the Star Constellations Sea years ago. Thus, they all rushed to inspect it first.
