There are three realms that exist today, namely the upper world, the human realm and the demon realm or the underworld.

The upper world is where the immortals live and reside. They are called the immortals because they can live tens to hundreds of thousands of years, but that does not mean they will live forever and cannot die. Immortals will die when their neck and body are separated, or if you damage the heart where their spiritual and life force originates.

Immortals possess extraordinary strength, they can move swiftly, possess strong spiritual power and possess a beautiful, charming appearance, graceful and dignified. People of the upper world and their immense pride, they consider themselves better than others , they are above all kinds.

The upper world is now ruled by an Emperor of the Yun clan who resides in the Bingshan iceberg. He was called the strongest emperor that ever existed, someone who possessed such extraordinary strength that all beings in the upper realms respected him.

Then is the human world, which is also called the bridge and the link between the upper world and the underworld. In the human world, it is occupied by mortal humans who are short-lived and don't have any advantages.

They were led by the kings in their respective regions, but of course, no matter how much power the king had, they were still ordinary humans.

Learning from experience as a bridge that is always faced with the immortals of the upper world and beings of the underworld, some of those humans learn from the immortals who stop by in the human world. They learn how to gather spiritual energy, although not all of them can be accepted and applied, yet they could still adapt it to their mortal bodies. It was not until after hundreds of years that cultivators were born and sects were established that protected them from the disturbances of beings that disturbed the peace of the human world.

On one hand, the underworld or demon realm is a place of unimaginable beings. Starting from ghosts, ordinary spirits, evil spirits, monsters, demons, to creatures that cannot be included in any category. From the one with the most beautiful appearance of the three realms, to the worst appearance that ever existed, all came from the lower realms.

Unlike the immortals who have positive points from the public, the devils are famous for their life which is often out of control, if the immortals come to the human world on a benevolent mission or just looking for fun, then the creatures of the underworld more often bring chaos to the human world . Although not all, some beings like the negative energy of humans, thus, despite certain prohibitions and restrictions, they still frequently sneak into the human world to take innocent souls.

This matter was also pushed by the demon emperor herself. They, the creatures of the underworld were renowned for their loyalty to their leader, but it had been thousands of years since a new emperor ruled and no one had ever seen her.

The current demon emperor, they call it the faceless emperor or the empty seat. No one had seen the Demon Emperor, she shut herself up in her dark palace, no one had ever heard of or seen her shadow, until they finally believed, the Demon Emperor didn't exist.

......

The room was so dark, so dark that there was no light shining through. Within the darkened room, a person walked towards the window, her steps light and did not leave even a slight sound. The creak of the shutters resounded in the darkness that the light was slowly letting in, there, beyond the window that had been opened, a person stood, her face scorched by a dazzling light, even so, the world she saw was still dark. No matter how long she had stayed in this darkness, she didn't want to count the times since the emptiness filled her entire body.

Her eyes, her heart, her strength, even her heart.

Everything is empty.

That figure was so dazzling, that small face, too pale and frail, made you want to protect it. Her white hair glistens in the light and those eyes, seem to draw you. Those eyes were blue, bright as the sky during the day, sadly dead and misty.

The figure closed its eyes to enjoy the breeze as it gently touched her face. So calming. "Let me live a little longer" she whispered inaudibly. But the comfort ended so quickly, her strength sensed something bad was happening, and her ears picked up footsteps that didn't belong to the building's occupants. She quickly closed the window that had been opened, letting the room go dark again, she fell silent and waited for someone who had dared to enter there without an invitation.

.....

For so long the three worlds have lived in peace and harmony, there has been no upheaval, no wars that have brought casualties. This peace has been going on for a long time and has even lasted for thousands of years. Even in this peace appeared an immortal who belonged to the strongest clan, famous in the upper world. A power unrivaled to the underworld wouldn't even dare to provoke him.

Yun Guoqu appeared and made all the immortals bow down to him, the owner of the ice sword buried in Bingshan mountain covered with never-melting snow, he appeared when the immortals were fighting each other to show their strength, causing misunderstandings among the immortals, but who would have thought, the young man from it was the Yun clan that would win over all that, he stood at the highest apex, proving himself more than worthy. All the immortals recognized his abilities, they felt safe under his leadership and they made him their emperor.

It's been ten thousand years since Emperor Yun Guoqu sat on the throne, life is getting better and better, everyone is in their respective places and those from the lower realms don't break the pact. Peace continues.

Emperor Yun Guoqu's handsomeness resounded in all directions, a peerless handsomeness. Hiss body tall and slender, he walked like a feather floating in the wind, his eyes were sharp and incomparably dark in color, his voice was the most beautiful voice ever heard, heavy, low intoxicating. Not only was he famously handsome, but also his heart was as hard as stone, cold as ice.

This is echoed when a prominent immortal from the Shun clan offers marriage to his daughter, a beautiful goddess in the upper world. Her beauty is like the moon at night, the lotus blooms in summer, her beauty is unparalleled, all women envy, all men want to possess.

When Shun Mo happily handed over his daughter to emperor Yun Guoqu, perhaps many men and women were heartbroken, but when eternal beauty was paired with eternal handsomeness, no one objected. People started imagining how well matched the two immortals would look when standing side by side in red wedding robes. There would be a grand feast, they would celebrate for seven days straight, rejoicing with their emperor.

But delusion really is just a fantasy. Emperor Yun Guoqu politely refused the match. Looks like they won't be seeing the seven days and seven nights festive feast in the near future, who knows how many thousands of years from now they will see Emperor Yun Guoqu wearing red robes.

"Even the emperor's majesty rejected Miss Shun, he will never marry."

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

"Maybe because he sat in the frozen Xuehua palace for too long, his heart froze too." on the one hand many pity miss Shun, on the other hand, the male immortals who like her are like being given a second chance.

"Okay, this is good." Fu Ziya closed the box and sat down quietly in the space provided. Xiao Zuan poured tea for her.

“Please don't ask me to do that again. From now on you will have to meet them yourself.” Yun Guoqu muttered lazily, which could be interpreted as approval or indifference. Fu Ziya ignored Yun Guoqu's lazy reply, so she focused only on enjoying the tea that had been prepared for her. After all, she had known Yun Guoqu for a long time, she already knew the Emperor's character very well.

Fu Ziya is an immortal from the Fu clan, since a long time she know Yun Guoqu. You could say she was the closest person that could be called a friend to Yun Guoqu. Perhaps because they had known each other for a long time, Fu Ziya could understand Yun Guoqu better even though his demeanor was sometimes very annoying, not to mention his cold and indifferent attitude.

The two of them are very close, so close that they cause misunderstandings. People thought she was the reason Yun Guoqu rejected Miss Shun. If she remembered that, Fu Ziya would roll her eyes because that was impossible. No one likes Yun Guoqu, if you get to know that ice man closely, he is heartless, and annoying.

"Sister, you are also here!" someone shouted very loudly. Fu Ziya covered her ears. Huh, why did this brat also come here.

"Emperor Yun Guoqu, good morning." the young man looked shining. The clothes he wore were dark, his face was bright and stepped to sit beside Fu Ziya.

“What are you doing here? You ran away from your sister again?” that young man was Wan An, Fu Ziya's noisy cousin, childish even though he was hundreds of years old. He was a young master from the Shi Heise valley which was occupied by the Wan clan.

Because Fu Ziya often visited the Xuehua palace and Wan An had a rebellious nature, the young man often followed Fu Ziya to the palace where the emperor Yun Guoqu lived. From then on he acted friendly towards the emperor and shamelessly called the emperor 'brother'.

“Don't talk about her, what is sister Fu doing here? Did I interrupt your date with Guoqu da ge?”

"Dating your ass." Fu Ziya replied casually, it wasn't not the first time for her. She had already experienced that annoyed for thousands of years, it no longer had any effect.

"Yes, you disturbed my date with your sister."

“Hahaha, who would believe a heartless man like you?” actually she didn't think much of the gossip about herband Yun Guoqu, but things got worse after Yun Guoqu rejected the arranged marriage from the Shun clan, they added her name as the cause of the rejection. She doesn't accept it! At this rate no one would want to marry her! No man would want to be with her! This became even more annoying when Yun Guoqu joined in adding oil to the raging fire. What a heartless man, he did that so no other clan heads would ever give their daughters to him.

“You yourself, what are you doing this time?” As if remembering why he's there, Wan An turned to Yun Guoqu, the man still relaxed on his throne. “Dage, from today on I will live here.”

"What are you asking permission for? Usually you just go straight to the west room as if it were your room.”

"Just say you're jealous because you can't stay here for fear that the gossip outside will blow even louder."

“Ais this boy!” Fu Ziya hit Wan An with her fan. So loud that the younger ones groaned. For the record, she hit Wan An with added strength in it, it hurt much more than Wan An could imagine.

Yun Guoqu smiled faintly on the throne, sometimes life in Xuehua was boring, at least today he could watch the exciting show of the two cousins who always bickered every time they met. Maybe he should apologize to Fu Ziya. Apart from that the woman's temperament was rather bad, but her face was so beautiful that of course many wanted to marry her, but he maliciously took advantage of their friendship so that the suitors slowly withdrew.

Leisurely sipping tea, Yun Guoqu enjoyed his morning even though the two people in front of him were so noisy. Suddenly a subtle vibration stopped his hand. Maybe it was just a slight movement, but the other three people in the room watched it intently. Sure enough, not long after a huge explosion was heard. Yun Guoqu immediately stood up and disappeared.

He appeared in the courtyard, there was already a big hole, in the hole was stuck an arrow that produced fire. Xuehua palace is a palace of eternal ice and snow.

“The Demon general.” said Wan An who was already standing behind him with Fu Ziya. Yun Guoqu looked at the arrow closely. There was no mistake, it was the demon general's arrow.

“What is he attacking at a time like this?” the arrows came back from an unknown place. Yun Guoqun stopped the arrow with his bare hands, looked again at the arrow that was like burnt iron, the red color still remained but the scorching flames had already died out in his grasp.

A strong wind suddenly blew. Not only was it blowing hard, but the wind was also carrying hot air. Yun Guoqun ordered the guards and maids who had gathered to leave, he felt something was wrong. A great and evil force was threatening from behind the dark clouds that suddenly covered the sky of Xuehua Palace.

The whirlwind formed from the dark cloud was so fierce that it blew everything away, everything happened too fast when a fire dragon emerged from the whirlwind, Yun Guoqun parried it with a barrier, the ice sword sheathed at his waist rushed forward, slicing open the fiery dragon's mouth.

Something dark was visible from behind the flames left by the fire dragon, that figure did not look like a general of demons, that figure seemed to merge with the smoke, only two dark red eyes that he believed were staring at him intently.

Yun Guoqun looked back, everyone managed to take cover well. It disappeared in thin air, seeing that, Fu Ziya and Wan An also followed behind.

The figure seemed to be waiting for them to chase, Yun Guoqu stepped on the rocks of the cliff, "That's not the demon general, right?" He didn't reply to Fu Ziya's soft voice, he just focused on the black cloud that was drifting away while inside it still felt a pair of eyes watching intensely.

"That demon general is very ugly and sinister. After all, he is very afraid of Yun-ge. He will not dare to attack Xuehua palace when there is dage there." Fu Ziya glanced back, saw that the damage caused by the creature could not be considered normal. It only breathes wind and fire, but look what it has done.

Another thing also bothered everyone, the Xuehua palace had a strong defense and barrier, the creature broke the barrier just like that, it proved that the creature they were chasing was not just any creature.

Is this the work of the devil tribe?

“Down!” a voice from the front snapped Yun Guoqu out of his thoughts, just as he lowered his head, tens of swords flew right above his head. The blade shattered before it even touched anyone, Yun Guoqu's hand was still raised when from the sword bursts of smoke clouded their vision.

"Hey, I can't see anything!" complained Wan An. Fu Ziya moved her fan elegantly, from every wind that was created by the fan came small orbs floating extremely bright, surrounding them and giving them light.

“Aaaa!” someone screamed and a thump sounded, balls of light came down to give light, it was when he saw Wan An fall in a not so good position while rubbing his head which fell down first. “Damn tree! What tree is this? Why is it so big?!” he said.

"You're so careless." Fu Ziya commented. The mist that had enveloped them slowly dissipated, leaving behind a dark, lightless forest. Luckily Fu Ziya's orbs of light were still functioning properly.

Wan An, who was still cursing and swearing at a tree, suddenly stopped talking, "What's this stench?" he said. The originally faint stench grew sharper as Yun Guoqun followed to the source of the smell, the others following quietly. The light generated from Fu Ziya's single ball of light should be able to illuminate the entire forest, but not this time. Their vision was still limited even though the orbs were floating around them.

The stench grew stronger, but they saw nothing. Yun Guoqun felt that he was stepping on something, he stopped, pointed a ball of light towards his feet, the area that was previously so dark, suddenly became so bright in the middle of the night, the moon that was previously reluctant to illuminate where they stood, now shone so brightly, that they were able to see every pool of blood on the ground.

"AH!" someone suddenly shouted, the sight before them did not bode well. In front of him, corpses scattered and gathered to form a small heap. Yun Guoqun checked one of the closest corpses and examined it. The corpse's body was dry with no internal organs, if all the blood was sucked out, then where did this pool of blood appear?

"Who did this?" asked Wan An who was standing in a pile of corpses, the smell that was produced was so strong.

"Am I the only one who doesn't know where we are right now?" Yun Guoqun took the stagnant blood and smelled it. The blood was still warm, but the corpse in front of him didn't look fresh.

Movement from behind the tree caught Yun Guoqu's attention, he moved as fast as light, his sword was already lodged in someone's neck. He frowned, it wasn't a monster or a creature with red eyes, but just a surprised young man dressed in green with a sword that was suddenly ready to cut his neck.

“Did you find the culprit, Dage?” Wan An glanced over Yun Guoqu's back, a look of disappointment on his face, "Who is this?"
