The Legend of Li Yuan
The Sincerity of Fang Yin

Not long after they arrived at a residential village, greetings from people look so friendly. Moreover, the news of Li Yuan and Li Tong's arrival earlier had already been heard, the village youths who met with them quickly reported the happy news.

"This is where my home used to be" Li Yuan told Fang Yin as the two of them arrived in front of a simple and well-maintained house.

While Li Tong and Fan Chi had also broken away to head to Li Tong's old residence. They had promised to get back together at night, an opportunity they would use to remember their childhood.

Fang Yin was a noble daughter from the time she was born, but she did not hesitate to be in the modest house she was now in.

"Do you feel fine in this place?" li Yuan said shortly after introducing his old residence to Fang Yin.

"Yuan Gege, I'm so happy to be here. The atmosphere of the mountains is so comfortable, in addition to the beautiful scenery the air here is also very natural. It's no exaggeration if a realm like this could present a powerful swordsman like Yuan Gege" Fang Yin said with a graceful smile.

"You're very pretty" Li Yuan praised involuntarily.

Fang Yin's face flushed red, this was the most beautiful word he had ever heard from Li Yuan's mouth. Usually Li Yuan was very difficult to issue a word of praise, then he heard it with spontaneity.

At the same time, dozens of neighbors came to visit Li Yuan's house. However, the figure of the Li Yuan family was widely known throughout the Yellow Bamboo Village, his father's success in building the Li Clan to become the number one family in the Capital. They also heard that if Li Yuan had been betrothed to the daughter of the Capital's lord, this would have made their name even more famous.

Arriving with food and fruits from the Yellow Bamboo Village, Fang Yin felt warm with the local customs. This made his feelings warm and his love for Li Yuan even greater. From the mouths of the neighbors all told much of Li Yuan's kindness and nature. From the story Fang Yin concluded it was natural that Li Yuan was a little stiff on him, this was because indeed Li Yuan had never been close to any woman during his stay in the Yellow Bamboo Village.

In a different place, in Xiening City there is a temple that is not maintained. The building seems to have long been abandoned by people who used to fill it. It seemed that a woman was looking at an altar of worship with a gaze full of hatred and selflessness.

There are several ancient rhymes listed on the ancient altar table, without knowing the meaning of the woman reciting the poem which is a spell for the people of the Hall of Souls. It seemed that this place was simply abandoned by its inhabitants before destroying the offering place.

A creepy-looking black crow statue sits atop the altar, but strange events occur shortly after the woman recites the incantation on the altar table. Without the woman realizing it, a soul force had penetrated into her and taken control of her mind realm.

With a sword at his disposal, he injured his fingertips to bleed and dripped it onto the statue of the black crow. After a while, the statue moved through the vitality of life with an extremely sinister black aura.

"Welcome my master" said the crow, who could speak.

"Who are you" asked the woman, holding her aching head.

"I am your loyal servant, Wuya" replied the crow.

"How do I know you? Didn't I just intend to rest in this place" replied the woman whose face was very similar to Jia Hien.

"What is Chou Hen's blood?" jia Hien asked who was now starting to recall himself.

"It is blood that contains hatred and a very strong grudge" said the crow named Wuya.

Jia Hien was stunned, he did not think that his hatred was ingrained. But in retrospect it was not wrong, his hatred for Emperor Tang Shiji was huge for lying to him and ruining his future. In addition, the envy of women who were now near Li Yuan could not be denied.

"It is better for the princess to adjust the power of the princess in this place" Wuya said calmly.

But every word that came out of his mouth contained a soul force that could affect the minds of others, especially if their strength was still weak then it would easily be affected by the crow's voice.

"What kind of strength do you mean?" jia Hien asked with an expression of interest.

"The strength that the princess will possess is immense, it is extremely difficult to meet an opponent in this Realm" Wuya replied in a reassuring tone.

Suddenly from the void appeared a blood-red Crystal, the size of Jia Hien's fist. The crystal floated in the air then approached and fell in Jia Hien's hand.

"What is this thing?" jia Hien asked sambi raising both eyebrows.

"That is the Dansheng Crystal, which means also the Birth Crystal. By absorbing the essence of the Crystal, the power of the Princess is like being reborn, and able to control the power of the night" Wuya said calmly.

The Dansheng Crystal itself was actually an innate power from the previous owner who had died. The power was successfully solidified again in the form of Crystals to be absorbed by the next successor.

Jia Hien looked doubtful for a moment, the shadow of the Laohu Sect who had raised him as well as his father's face kept on recalling in his mind. But his decision has been unanimous to leave the Laohu Sect and venture outside to increase his strength for revenge.

The opportunity in front of him was very good just that the power offered was very worried that he would be plunged into a deepening hatred.

Wuya was aware of the emotional struggle in Jia Hien's heart. Soon he took the initiative to increase his influence over Jia Hien.

"Mr Princess, you should absorb the Crystal before the object disappears again" Wuya said by influencing Jia Hien's mind.

"This is my best chance to increase revenge, with the increase in my strength then I will definitely be able to control myself better" Jia Hien murmured inwardly.

His hatred and resentment had crystallized in his heart, without him noticing that the heart demon had already deepened into his soul. He would never realize that his choice this time would change his whole life.
