Black fiendish energy surges as a bronze coffin bursts through the air. Qin Shi Huang breaks free of his seal and appears in the world, while black-armored soldiers kneel and cry out in salute, his might shaking heaven and earth! In a moment of crisis, Gu Cheng conjures an illusion and leads everyone to Beast Peak to seek shelter. But the beautiful woman in ancient dress traveling with them turns out to be Concubine Li Fei, the Emperor's former favorite, also known as Princess Yushu. Even more horrifying, Lao Gu seeks eternal life by offering his adopted daughter, Bian'an, as a sacrifice. His despicable actions ignite the fury of the crowd. Li Fei admits that she and the First Emperor broke off their relationship long ago. Yet Gu Cheng's casual remark, “Li Si told me,” is enough to leave the woman who has lived for two thousand years utterly shaken. It turns out the shadow of Li Si's schemes is more chilling than the First Emperor breaking free of his seal. Following Lao Gu's directions, the First Emperor comes flying to kill them, channeling true energy to propel himself through the air and displaying the terrifying strength of a ruler who has lived for a thousand years. Beast Peak is home to a ferocious dragon beast. Can the illusion fool the heavens? What secrets lie behind Li Fei's identity? Can Gu Cheng and his companions use the monsters' power to hold off the First Emperor and survive against all odds? An adventure entangled with betrayal, hidden secrets, and a battle for life and death is about to begin!
