The Supreme Immortal of the Immortal Realm, Qi Yuan, ran his sword through the heart of Wang Rongci, the demon youth he had once cherished, and sent him plunging from the Edgebreak Cliff. He left only a single word, “Protecting you,” concealing his true reasons, then turned to face the wrath of the immortal sects alone, only to be captured and gravely wounded by his master.
Reborn at the foot of the cliff, Wang Rongci had lost all warmth from his past. He made a pact with his soul to gain the power of the Demon King, swallowed a Gu, and took on a blood feud. All that remained in his eyes was a mad determination to slaughter the immortal sects and kill Qi Yuan with his own hands.
But when he wielded his purple flames to shatter the path to immortality, he learned that the sword strike from years ago had been meant to save his life, that “demons deserve to die” had only been a cover, and that Qi Yuan had long since turned against the immortal sects and defied his master to protect him.
Humans and demons follow different paths; love and hatred are hard to tell apart. On the cliff, a red robe once blazed in the eye. Below, black robes were stained with blood. When they meet again, will they point their swords at each other, or recognize and redeem one another?
