50,000 years ago, Hell was destroyed because of too much Foul from the resentment of the souls that later turned to Soul Eaters and devoured everything in their wake, leaving nothing of Hell. The gods above in Heaven, in order to take care of the newly-died souls, created the Afterlife Department comprised of grim reapers. Huo Ling was delivering food that day when he met Yi Bing and the guy gave him a warning. When he arrived to the customer's unit, he was killed. Huo Ling: you set up a death flag for me! Yi Bing: I'm a grim reaper. I'm the flag myself. Let me help you solve the mystery of your death. Huo Ling: your sister! Alternative title: The Different Ways I Died at 23 Update: daily
The next day, Luo Zhilai acted surprised after Huo Ling's group told him that they wanted to go to the Guanling Province where the Snow Clouds Spring Blossoms Mountain was located.
"This place… is far." Luo Zhilai muttered.
"No problem! We will be able to return next month! This trip shouldn't be that long." Huo Ling 'assured' him. "But, to be safe… do you have someone to recommend us to take there? Like a guide?" he asked.
Luo Zhilai immediately understood. These young men 'really wanted' to watch the Martial Conference next month but actually aren't that sure if their trip will be long, since they aren't familiar in this side of the land. He recalled that these group of six 'young masters' even asked his boatman friend about the name of the town they are currently in – Cuiyi Town.
Judging by their extravagant attitudes and 'ignorance and naivety', they must have been sheltered in their homes.
