Chapter 1: Crushing the Heart on Lingyun

My name is Ye Qingtang, and right now I am standing alone on a snow-covered cliff, surrounded by tens of thousands of people who have come to kill me and take the mysterious heart hidden inside my body.

A cold flash cut through the air, followed by the horrible sound of bones and flesh being sliced apart. Bright red blood sprayed across the pure white snow, turning it crimson.

I stood behind the falling blood with a sharp sword in my hand. My pale eyes calmly watched the enemies I had just killed. There was no fear, anger, or mercy in my expression.
