Xu Ziyi held the Qinglian sword, facing the sky. Her voice was cold and resolute:

"Go get the armor!"

As I hesitated, a streak of blood had already shot out from Xu Ziyi's shoulder, enveloped by a black mist as dark as ink.

At this moment, Xu Ziyi's voice came again:

"Hurry! I can't hold on much longer."

Stepping into Mount Lu waterfall, the huge water flow felt like a massive hammer pounding me fiercely into the pool below.

When I resurfaced, I was already behind the Lu Mountain waterfall.

There were mural after mural there, similar to the remains of the Yin-Shang Dynasty, yet different.

In these murals, a small fox was born amidst chaos.

The chaos was named Hongmeng, the first Qi between heaven and earth, and it was also the first fox between heaven and earth.

After thousands of years, the small fox was shot by an arrow, barely clinging to life.

Yin Shou, the emperor, wrapped the small fox in his large cloak and carefully treated it.

Unfortunately, the small fox was injured in the heart, so in order to save its life, the emperor exchanged his own essence with the small fox.

After obtaining the essence of the emperor, the small fox slowly transformed into human form, becoming the fox demoness in the eyes of many - Su Daji.

When Yin Shang eradicated the other tribes, the fox clan joined the battle, with foxes and giant wolves of the wilderness fighting fiercely.

In the end, the fox clan gained its own territory, becoming a famous family that served Yin Shang with their lives.

To showcase the achievements of the fox clan, Emperor Yin Shou married Su Daji as his concubine.

For many years after that, Su Daji assisted the emperor in governing the country and handling the troubles caused by gods and immortals.

Until the final calamity of enfeoffment of gods, the fox clan died in battle with the literary and military forces of Yin Shang, and they were also called monsters by later generations.

However, the story in the mural still has a continuation - after the death of the emperor, Daji also hanged herself at Lutai.

But a strand of her soul escaped from Lutai, continuously reincarnating.

In each life, a mysterious force inscribed her name here.

And now, the name carved at the bottom is - Xu Ziyi.

But the end of the mural is incomplete, as if some stories have not been fully told.

Everything in the world was arranged long ago, even though gods and Buddhas gave their all, they only slightly altered history.

Perhaps the missing part was to conceal certain fables that occurred.

What is hidden here is not the emperor's armor, but the emperor's sword.

However, the sword case is empty, and the famous Xuan Yuan sword's whereabouts are unknown.

On one side of the case was engraved with ancient Yin-Shang words: "The sword is in the emptiness."

I do not know what "emptiness" means, I can only walk out of the waterfall holding the sword case.

Xu Ziyi in the sky was already covered in blood, her strength was much stronger than when I first met her.

However, Qian Mianmo was ultimately an evocator, even if he did not come in person, he was incredibly powerful.

I shouted loudly:

"The sword is in the emptiness, do you know what it means?"

Xu Ziyi in battle struck a sword qi on the waterfall, splitting it in two.

The sparkling water surface surged, as I looked down, the clouds in the sky had taken on a different appearance.

The white clouds resembled a huge imperial city, very similar to the Yin-Shang Dynasty recorded in the relics of Yin City.

Twelve huge cities guarded each other, with the central city resembling a five-story tall tower from the sky.

The so-called emptiness is illusory, like flowers in a mirror, and moon in water.

The true hidden place of the sword is not the Lu Mountain waterfall, but upwards from the reflection in the waterfall.

The so-called Yin City is not its true name.

That place should be called - Baiyu Capital.
