After Ye Futian won in that Battle of Empty Realms years ago, Li Yao broke the rules of engagement and attempted to kill him.
The relationship between the realms of Emperor Xia and Emperor Li quickly took a turn for the worse after that, with conflicts occurring regularly.
As such, order at Empty Realm was broken, with the realm currently being split into three factions.
Three imperial realms remained in a standoff and battles erupted now and then. All of them competed for the realm's resources.
At present, all three factions had mighty ones carving out their territories.
In Emperor Xia's service, the Army of Dou was in charge, with a Holiness of Nirvana taking command. The leader was none other than Lu You, who had been protecting Princess Xia Qingyuan for quite some time. There was also a Holiness of Nirvana from Emperor Li's Realm present—King White of the Four Kings.
