*Demon realm*
Liang feng
"Oh! You're back, any progress" I asked as I twirled the strands of hair that came out of each two side of my hair, sitting on a throne which was placed on a high ground that allowed me to see the people below. "Greetings my lord, I've well been spying on the Xin men kingdom and Xue Huang as you ordered, there haven't been anything suspicious about Xue Huang...…. Perhaps, there's this lady Xue Huang brought to the palace; I've sensed a kin smell of dark aura surrounding her…." I raised my hands to shut Xiao Cheng up, one of the loyal demons, "I don't need to hear more, bring her here alive or dead, I must see her, the demons have been looking for the leader, could she be our key" Xiao Cheng eyes widened like he has heard a disturbing news, "my lord, it might not be her, she might not be the demon queen. I think you should keep leading us. my lord you've made the demon clan what it is today" Xiao Cheng contradicted, I was irritated as to what he said "How dare you talk back at me, get lost!" I shouted as I threw a knife at his leg which made him injured as he disappeared. "don't be brutal" I heard the voice of a woman climbing the stairs which separated the high ground which my throne was placed and the floor. "Oh! Demon mother" I bowed as she came to pat my shoulder, "Don't worry well find her soon.... how's the orb case going, I need to complete the ascension. Only with the orb can we succeed." She said as she raised her eyebrows awaiting my reply, "I don't know much about the orb but Xiao Cheng said he found a lady in the Xin men kingdom, she has a kin smell of dark aura surrounding her, she might be your daughter! And who knows she might have the orb!! And Huiliang..." before I could continue my statement, she slapped me across the face, "don't ever speak of Huiliang, he betrayed us, I regret marrying him, I regret marrying that mortal! I foolishly gave him the orb to aid him ascend to immortality but before he could ascend, he betrayed us and got killed. We must find her if she really is the key, we need the orb, the demon realm can't survive without the orb. We need to ascend ok no I need to ascend to immortality so I can protect the demons, there's no doubt the war twenty-one years ago will repeat its self" I felt sorry for her so I apologized, "sorry, your highness", she walked out with her garment that swept the floor as I sat back on my throne. Does demon mother mean she'll kill demon queen if she comes here instead of letting her lead us and ascend to immortality? No, I can't let that happen, though demon mother hates her she can't kill her own flesh and blood, should I tell Xiao Cheng to retreat? No if I do demon mother will kill me, ill just let it go the way its planned, its destiny. Xue Huang might be from the heavenly realm but no one knows it, he has a reason for going to Xin men kingdom and leading them, I must find out. Our main focus is not Xin men right now but Qin hu, we must annihilate Qin hu kingdom before Xin men kingdom. I can tell the world would soon be ours. "The world is for the demons!" I laughed. No ones gonna stop us now. Once we have the orb. We'll finally be able to show our selves to the world. The war twenty-one years ago must occur again, I'll make sure of it!!

Xing li
"Xing li" I heard a voice call out my name, I looked around and saw that I was in a completely dark place, am I dead? "Who're you, who's there" the voice became silent before it spoke again, "accept who you are. Xing li take revenge. Xing li take revenge" I was confused what he said, who am I, it's just sprouting nonsense, "Xing li take revenge" I heard the voice again before I woke up. Phew!...it was all a dream, I stood up before remembering what happened. "Oh! Feng wan is he okay.... Taojie, Taojie" taojie came rushing in when she heard my shout, "yes my lady calm down" I just looked at her as I panicked, "Where's feng wan is he alright" I asked so I flinched when I heard a voice from the door, "why care so much about him" I heard Xue Huang voice as he opened the door, "Xue Huang! Where's Feng wan" Xue Huang looked at me with a smirk on his face, "what if I tell you he's dead", Tears rolled down my cheeks as my knee felt weak, I crashed on the floor and cried when I felt a hand on my face trying to clean my tears, I shoved his hands away as I stood and wiped my tears myself "it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let him stay with me in that inn we would've gone to the palace immediately we finished buying some clothes" Xue Huang looked at me as he came closer to my ear, "he's not dead, calm down" he laughed so I couldn't help but hit him on the chest, "why did you lie to me! Can I see him" he nodded as we left the infirmary to the special infirmary for nobles. "Feng wan, are you okay!" I shouted at the door before running to him, I noticed his eyes were shut and he's veins were still green. "Feng wan! Feng wan!! Feng wan!!!" I shouted but to no response. "Xing li calm down. Nothing happened to him, he's just poisoned and he's also in a coma", I sat down of the floor next to his bed as tears streamed down my cheeks, "Coma! Poisoned! You mean those arrows were poisoned" he just looked at me as he came to my side and hugged me, "if we can find the antidote, he'll be fine, just get some rest" he insisted as he pulled me up, "Antidote? where can we find the antidote" Xue Huang stared at me before replying, "That, I'm not really sure, its mostly the demons that know the where about of the antidote because this looks like the poisons from demons, but ill look into it. Get some rest" I nodded as he escorted me back to my chambers.

*Heavenly realm*
Xue Huang,
"Greetings, father" I bowed in front of the heavenly emperor. "Oh! My son what brings you here. Any news about the demons or the orb". "yes father, I think I found Huiliang descendant" he stood up with his eyes widened like he has heard a shocking news, "That's nice son, now we can use her to get to the demons" I looked at my father and saw he's looking at me intently, "but how father" I asked as I furrowed my eye brows, "Umm... the demons aren't that gullible there's no other way than to make her fall for you and at her weakest kill her and send the orb to me" I could not believe what I was hearing, but I had to obey him, he's my father after all. "Yes father" I bowed before attempting to leave. I remembered that father studied a lot about demons and might know where the antidote is, "F-Father, if I may ask where can I find the antidote to the scorpion venom poison" he flinched before smirking, "My son, why do you need it" he curiously asked. I didn't really want to ask father for anything since he always demands something in return, I learnt that a thousand year ago, he's the reason my hairs turning white, I've transferred spiritual energy to him for the past one thousand years because of a favour I asked. Now I suffer from internal injuries which activates every midnight... my train of thoughts were interrupted when father hit me on the shoulders, "Oh! Father, I'd rather not discuss that, if you don't mind" I politely responded so he just looked at me before sighing, "ill just tell you the place but not the exact location since you've been of great help to me" I nodded as father told me the place before I walked out.
