It was a bronze mirror that women used for makeup in ancient times.

The design of it was rather average and it had become rather rusty – there was nothing special about it at all.

"That's what you call treasure?" Long Aotian said haughtily after casting it a brief glance.

"This object wasn't recorded in history… So I'm not too sure about it either… But I think it would have been important since it was placed under the left palm of Emperor Yan…" Old Tortoise flipped the mirror and exclaimed: "There is a line of words behind the mirror!"

"Read it," His leader said.

"I am the king. My glory did not last long for everything had fell in one night even though I am the king and I have the world in my hands! By a stroke of misfortune my lover and I are now in different worlds. There's no one to enjoy it with, even though I have everything within my palm. To see my lover again, I would rather give it all up!"

Old Tortoise was moved. Narrowing his eyes, he explained: "If I'm not mistaken, this item must be a token of love from Emperor Yan to Queen Wen! Queen Wen had suffered from illness all her life but died right after she was crowned queen! And according to recorded history, Emperor Yan had missed his queen so much that he killed himself!"

Everyone was stunned by Old Tortoise's words; even Chen Xiaobei sighed at his hiding place.

"I never thought that Emperor Yan was such a sentimental man! Willing to give up on everything just to be together with his lover… There's no wonder why the powerful Yan Dynasty fell so quickly…"

"He might not be a good king, but he was definitely a good man!" Luo Puti pursed her lips, summarizing the life of Emperor Yan with a single sentence.

"Hmph! I thought this Emperor Yan was some kind of legendary character! In the end, he is just another piece of thrash!" Long Aotian continued arrogantly. "Women are just toys! Swap one for another when you get bored of the one you have! It's not a big deal! Such retarded actions; how could he die for his woman?!"

After those words, Long Aotian snatched the mirror, and threw it on the ground forcefully.

"A man has to be ruthless and merciless if he wants to get to the top of the mountain!" he smiled chillingly. "In that alone, my achievement is far greater than this stupid king!"

"What a piece of shit!" both Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti scolded Long at the same time.

"We humans are no different than animals if we are cold-blooded!"

*Raaawr!!!*

In that exact same moment, an evil spirit appeared with a sonorous yet chilling roar. The facial profile of a beautiful woman overlapped with the fearsome spirit's face! And there was something else – the spirit appeared to be fading in and out of existence.

It was... in pain. 

"Eh? I didn't expect this evil spirit's true identity to be Queen Wen!"

Old Tortoise squinted, and then sighed. "Emperor Yan committed suicide and descended into hell while Queen Wen turned into an evil spirit because of her stubbornness. In the end, both of them are still in different worlds! This thing called fate was obviously toying with them…"

"That's why I said they're stupid! Hahaha…" Long Aotian showed no sympathy towards their misfortune and began laughing mockingly at them instead. He was definitely a cold-blooded animal!

"Puti! Let me go! I want to save Queen Wen! She will be completely destroyed soon!" Chen Xiaobei said determinedly.

"I know how you feel right now, but I just can't let you die just like that!" Luo Puti short back, still refusing to let Chen Xiaobei go.

"Then, I should apologize in advance!"

Chen Xiaobei stretched his hands towards her and pressed the back of her neck. In an instant, Luo Puti's True Qi had vanished; she could not muster any strength anymore and soon fell into a coma.

"I fight not just to help the dead; I must return some favors to the living as well!"

Chen Xiaobei charged, leaping out at Long with his black saber.

He was genuinely moved by the tale of love between Emperor Yan and his queen.

The monarch was the ancestor of Murong Xiaoyao, while Queen Wen was the ancestor of Wenyuan! A jade seal and a safety jade pendant symbolized the promises that Chen Xiaobei had made earlier – and he would definitely stick to his promises come what may.

It was what a normal human should do, the principles of a true man! They should never be afraid of a fight, and Chen would rather die in battle than retreat.

"Huh? Bao Linshuang!" Long Aotian had quickly locked on him and shouted threateningly. "I was thinking where I should start looking for you, and boy you have the balls to show up! I will change my name if I fail to torture and murder you today!"

"Come get me!!!" Chen Xiaobei shouted back in rage.

He was arrogant!

He was wild!

His blood boils, and he thirsted for the fight against Long Aotian. His only thought was that he would never rest until Long Aotian dies!

"Motherf*cker! I think that brat lost his damn mind! Judging by his speed, his combat power is only half of our master's! He can definitely kill the brat easily!"

"That's right! This is the reality we live in! Does that brat think he can kill someone more powerful than him like web novel characters? Dream on!"

The two remaining members of the Hundred Beasts faction glared at Chen Xiaobei with disdain as if he was mentally impaired. Still, to be fair, pitting five thousand and seven hundred points in combat power against twelve thousand does make him appear crazy.

"Master! Be careful!" Old Tortoise reminded.

*Whooosh…*

Chen Xiaobei tossed the white power in his hand. Since he could never defeat Long through fighting ability, he had to come up with some witty strategy to win this duel.

"Hmph! Same shit! Did you really think that I'd fall in the same trap twice?! You're too naïve!" Long Aotian jeered scornfully, and swiftly made a slapping motion at the air with his palm. A gust of wind formed with True Qi, blowing away all the white powder and leaving him unaffected!

"Sword! Go!" Chen Xiaobei roared suddenly.

"Wind!"

A black shadow streaked towards Long after the white powder was repelled. It was Chen Xiaobei's Chaos Sword Essence that had been imbued with Dragon Force! The Black Dragon was aimed at Long's heart!

"Huh? Shit!"

Long Aotian's expression changed. He believed that Chen Xiaobei was using his old trick once more and never expected the brat would use the white powder as a distraction.

The real attack – a lethal one at that – was revealing itself! In the split seconds that followed Long Aotian could not figure out what was flying towards him; all he could do was gather all his strength to dodge.

*Whoosh…*

The black shadow punched through Long Aotian, and the air was dyed with blood. He had failed to dodge the attack; the black shadow had pierced his right arm. Fortunately for him he was just quick enough to move his body a little, or the attack would have cut through his heart instead of his arm!

"What… What the hell just happened?!!" Long Aotian shouted hysterically.
