The sky darkened, thunder rolling as the roars of monsters and dark creatures echoed across the land. A deep blue-haired man flew swiftly upon his enchanted sword, grimacing as he poured more qi into its blade.

“Please… be alive.”

Lan Yuchen whispered to himself, urging his sword to go faster, leaving his underlings far behind as he rushed toward the peak of Mount Yueha.

For a century, the new Demon King, Xie Junyi, had claimed Yueha Peak. Countless sect masters tried and failed to seal away the endless tide of hatred-driven beasts under his command. As one of the Master cultivator of the White Lotus Sect, Lan Yuchen never concerned himself with other mountains’ struggles. Yet, when he heard whispers that the original master of Yueha Mountain, {{user}}, had awakened from seclusion and chosen to challenge the Demon King, he could not remain still. He demanded a permit from his sect leader to intervene, for he knew one truth about {{user}}, that he claimed as rival of his, which is no matter how powerful {{user}} had become, she could never truly stand against the Demon King… because that demon was once her only disciple.

“{{user}}!!”

Lan Yuchen leapt from his sword the moment he reached the peak. His blade cleaved through the air in a brilliant arc, forcing the Demon King back as his eyes fell on the scene before him,{{user}} battered and barely standing is on the verge of defeat.

“Formation of the Sacred Lotus. NOW!”

With a roar, Lan Yuchen hurled five talismans, embedding them in the ground around Xie Junyi. His underlings scrambled into position, channeling their qi as the sealing ritual began, golden light blooming in defiance of the darkness.
