The sky this afternoon suddenly darkened. Black clouds covered almost half of the earth. The shape is twisted, along with the uncontrollable wind. The Gods and Kings began to worry, but they could do nothing but hope that this terrible thing would pass quickly.

And right there, a fierce battle ensued between the stronghold of the demon nation and the fox nation. All kinds of weapons echoed so loudly, and it was deafening. The corpses of the soldiers there seemed to fall like falling stars. Those who died would instantly become ashes and could not live forever.

Pranks!!

Blame!!

Pranks!!

The demon nation's warlord was repulsed, as the fox demon warlord pushed him with his inner strength. The blood immediately spits out from his mouth, and then he held his chest, which was hit by the fierce blow earlier. His eyes now saw, so many of his soldiers had turned to ashes and flew into the sky. He saw how ferocious the fox demon army was, which seemed to want to kill him blindly.

The Commander had no other way. He had to protect his remaining soldiers. Or if not, then who would completely wipe out his nation right now. He was silent for a moment, then part of his spirit flew and went like lightning that the naked eye couldn't see.

Half limping, he ran towards the cave at the top of Wei Long Mountain. After his feet hit the ground, he coughed again and vomited blood. His hands still holding his aching chest, he stumbled into the snow-white cave.

"Your Majesty..." he said hoarsely. There was a figure who seemed to be meditating there. His white hair dangled to the ground, his eyes were tightly closed, and the figure seemed lifeless. At the same time, the other figure who had been standing beside His Majesty stared scornfully at the warlord. With slow steps, the figure approached. "Advisor Li, I have something important to say to Your Majesty," he said. His eyes looked red, the veins in his neck looked so tense.

"Don't you know that our King is meditating today and can't be bothered? Why did you come here, Commander Jiang? Shouldn't you be fighting against that damn fox nation?"

"I-"

Jiang Kang Hua immediately collapsed, causing Li Zeng Xi to channel his inner strength into him directly. And unfortunately, what Li Zeng Xi feared came true.

The King, whom he had been trying to meditate on for the past week to perfection, now seemed to have opened his eyes. His corneas were blue, his white, flowing hair gleamed.

Obediently, Li Zeng Xi immediately knelt before his King. Then, he glanced at Jiang Kang Hua, who had already disappeared from there.

"Your Majesty, please continue your meditation," Li Zeng Xi said obediently.

However, what Li Zeng Xi suggested was ignored by the King. The King's blue eyes glanced sideways. His cold and sharp gaze seemed unable to be touched by anyone. The moment he stood up, the dangling black cloak was tossed aside confidently, revealing the silver dragon embroidered very vividly. For a moment, he stepped out and disappeared.

"Your Majesty, your powers have not yet fully recovered! Your Excellency!" shouted Li Zeng Xi, who could not help but disappear from behind the lips of the cave.

"Emo Shao Ye, you finally came before me," said the fox demon warlord.

The figure called Emo Shao Ye was still silent. Even his eyes were still tightly closed. Then, when he opened his eyes, at the same time, a golden-red aura appeared around his body. His initially blue eyes turned red in an instant. A smirk was evident at the corner of his lips.

"The King's Demon Chen Liao Xuan, today you will die by my hands! Aaah!!!"

The fox demon warlord immediately charged towards Chen Liao Xuan King, and he put all his inner strength into attacking the King on various sides. Meanwhile, Demon Lord Chen Liao Xuan Xuan remained silent, occasionally shifting his position to avoid attacks from the fox demon.

However, at one point, the fox demon smiled as if there was a secret plan. He caught Chen Liao Xuan's attention to the point he wanted. The war was unavoidable. Making King Chen Liao Xuan, who was initially calm, began expanding his inner strength. All the fox demon war troops attacked him simultaneously, for then a point of light in the sky descended. Like a flash of lightning, he instantly fell very quickly towards King Chen Liao Xuan.

"You die, Chen Liao Xuan!"

Blum!!

"Your Majesty!" Li Zheng Xi shouted. He immediately tried to chase after King Chen Liao Xuan's body, but his speed was unable to exceed the speed of the fall of the King. Until finally, he immediately returned to the battlefield and took revenge for what had happened to his King.

On the other hand, Chen Liao Xuan never expected that the fox's stealth war tactics would exceed expectations. They had used underhanded means to kill him in this war. Like being hit by a meteor, his chest was instantly pushed hard by an internal power that even he couldn't endure. Until finally, he tore his clothes at the same time as blood was spewing from his mouth. His body immediately went limp, almost unconscious, fell free from the sky, and even he did not know where the end of his fall would be. Or instead, he would return to ashes and be reincarnated again. He held a women's necklace, and then his tears dripped down the necklace pendant.

"Anqier," he whispered before he lost consciousness.

On the other side of Hua Hill, a woman was sitting, hugging her knees. Her eyes were puffy because she had been crying for a long time. Again, she closed his eyes, and then the painful incident was recorded in her brain memory for real.

"Anqier, didn't Father tell you not to go to this place? Don't you know that this peach grove is the domain of Emo Shao Ye, the cruelest Demon Lord on earth? Hurry up, and never take a single peach from here!"

Anqier immediately ran right behind her running father. At the same time, she was continuing to hold hands with Yang Si Qi—his closest friend.

However, Anqier's steps and Yang Si Qi had to stop when her father stopped her running suddenly. Then, Anqier's father drew closer to her daughter, a look of worry and fear on her face.

"Anqier, Si Qi, quickly get out of here. If you hear the sound of horses or people's feet, you should hide and smear your body with this potion. You must leave immediately. No matter what you hear and what you see, you have to get away from here!"

"But-"

"Go, Anqier!"

"Dad... I don't want to go,"

"Go!!!"

Yang Si Qi immediately grabbed Anqier's hand as her best friend refused to leave her father. But unfortunately, when the two were about to go further, they both heard a very frightening roar.

Yang Si Qi immediately pulled Anqier's hand to lower her head, with shaking hands then she smeared the potion that Uncle Liu Ming Tse had just given.

"Anqier..." Yang Si Qi called, which her best friend didn't hear. "Liu Anqier!" Yang Si Qi said again.

Anqier didn't care about her best friend, all she was worried about now was her father's safety. Her eyes caught her father kneeling in front of the crowd. And from the crowd of people, there was a figure whose aura was terrifying. A black-haired figure with a black robe that hung long. Her face appeared to be wearing a cover, but Anqier could see the shape of the eyebrows and the cold gaze of the figure.

"Si Qi, I have to help Father. I can't let him get caught like this!" said Anqier, who was about to stand up. However, Yang Si Qi immediately grabbed Anqier's hand and tightly tied her best friend's body.

"What do you want, huh? Don't you see them? They are not humans like us, Anqier. They are demons! And the one wearing that face mask was the Demon Lord Xie Liao Xuan Xuan, the extremely deadly Emo Shao Ye. Didn't Uncle tell you that you should hide and save yourself?"

"But-"

"Obey for the sake of Understanding!"

Finally, Anqier complied. She stayed with Yang Si Qi while watching what would happen to her father. Liu Anqier wanted nothing. All she wanted was her father's safety more than anyone else.

"My apologies, Your Majesty!" her father's voice seemed to tremble, making Anqier's breath catch.

Jrep!!

Silence, that's how Anqier felt. She was silent as she watched what was happening in front of her own eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes, watching the so-called Demon Lord slash her father's neck even until she cut off her father's head perfectly.

Anqier's body shook violently, and her breathing was suddenly very tight. Then, she immediately fell and fainted.

"Father..." Anqier whispered again, her hand holding the hair ornament that her father had just bought. Then Anqier started crying again.

If only at that time, she had obeyed her father to stay at home and didn't dare to go to Emo Shao Ye's peach forest, surely her father would have lived until now. Indeed she could hug her father and spend the days with her. However, it was because of her stupidity that her father's life had to be wasted. Yes, all this is because of her stupidity.

Anqier immediately looked up at the sky that had suddenly darkened. Her hands were raised high as if she wanted to pick up a single point of light that she thought was a star. She wanted to take the star, and she wanted to wish that the star was her father.

However, what she had hoped for seemed to have come true. The bright spot that was initially small gradually turned into a big one. Anqier immediately stood up, knowing that the light was going to fall where it was. However, she didn't have time to escape.

Blum!!!

As if being pushed by an enormous force, Anqier was finally blown away with force, causing her to fall and crash into a pine tree on her left. Anqier squealed in pain, but her hand seemed to touch something. With excruciating pain, she tried to open her eyes. And how surprised she was, seeing the figure who had fallen that was not far from her.

The figure was a man with a very handsome face, and his black hair seemed to flow beautifully on the grass. His eyes were tightly shut, and his mouth was dripping with fresh blood. The clothes on his chest were torn apart, with severe burns on his chest. As Anqier researched, she could see a golden glowing dragon crest on the man's right arm.

Anqier didn't know who the fallen man was, even like a shooting star. All she knew was, right now, this man needed her help. Yes, this man she must help right now!
