Prelude

PROLOGUE

Once upon a time, in the land of five nations, people lived in tranquility and prosperity. Without any restrictions, they often travelled freely with these beautiful lands. The leaders and rulers of each nations, treated themselves as sworn brothers. They never had any conflicts, or any disagreement. But who would have thought that the Demon Queen appeared in the Mortal Realm and ruined it all?

She seduced the leader --Liu Cang Hai of Huo Nation, and used as pawn to hinted the war. They fought and the casualties never failed the Divinities. Henceforth, the Heavenly Realm wasn't happy about this. They knew her intentions, and they couldn't stood still. As Xian Yu- the God of Celestial Four Symbols, assigned Mei Xing to joined the Eight Immortals in the Mortal Realm.

Mei Xing known as one of the Guardians of Celestial Four Symbols-----Meng Zhang, Ling Guang, Jian Bing and Zhi Ming.

She immediately joined the war, and she was unhappy to see those people, lost their loved ones. The terror and agony, she sensed it. After all she would like to know the humans, and wanted to see the Mortal Realm, but not with this situation right now.

Crimson-colored burned the whole Shui City and filled by the darkness of night, only the moonlight were illuminated. Mei Xing leads the Eight Immortals. The demon were defeated by them. Only the demon Queen was left. "Celestial Mei Xing, your actions was truly a praise-worthy, isn't it?" smiled in front of them, the Demon Queen stared Mei Xing with her red-phoenix eyes.

"You should have known that before, that we will not tolerate any of your actions!" one of the immortals said.

Ignored by her words the Demon Queen still smiled "How could that possible? The Heavenly Realm sent the Eight Immortals to fight my demon army, do you think you can defeat me?" Calmed and still prim, Mei Xing "We wouldn't let you to ruined this world to replace your ambitions."

One of immortals used his weapon and protected Mei Xing, the queen attacked by her sword. She couldn't let anyone to mock her just like that. Mei Xing casted some spell, the sword of Heaven appeared, this sacred weapon can kill the demons and the queen itself.

Holding her sword, she started her attacks to the Queen, while on the other hand the queen dodged her.

Mei Xing used her legs and kicked her, while she tried used the sword, to counter-attack. The Queen used her powers to shield herself from the opponent. But suddenly, she couldn't expected that the Eight Immortals, circled themselves-- around and casted some spells. Mei Xing used herself as a bait to lure this evil queen without knowing their plan. After that, the celestial barrier emerged from the ground and trapped the queen, while Mei Xing withdraw herself.

Ashamed that the Queen defeated, she said "I curse you! You! Celestial Mei Xing! I will not die yet, you can never stop me, or the Eight Immortals rather!"

Her eyes glows in red, but after she said that, Eight Immortals ended the barrier spell and locked the queen inside.

"You can never escape that barrier." Mei Xing said.

The queen clutched her hand, "I..never thought you can used this barrier on me but..." her eyes starts to glows as her palm blasted-off dark energy. The barrier without a second thought broken, the Eight immortals and Mei Xing alarmed with her actions as she tried, attacking again the queen. She was stabbed by the sword on her back. How couldn't Mei Xing sensed the evil energy on the Sacred Sword? Unless....the queen possessed the sword itself. Unknown to Mei Xing, the queen expected their plan and she sent her soul to the sword. She suppressed the holy and magical tools, by using her malicious powers. Her body could no longer move on the other hand, while Mei Xing suffered from her injury, and the Eight Immortals rescued her.

"You! What did you do to Celestial Mei Xing?!" One of the immortal raged.

One of the immortals, casted a spell to sent back the queen to her body. It was succeeded. She came back to her own demon body while saying "The Eight immortals, must be worried about the war instead." Grinned and satisfied to see Mei Xing suffered from her injury. Behind her, the army of Demons appeared from the black labyrinth, the tweleve Demon Clans, including her right man, Que Rong.

"You! Vile woman! Let me--"

"Stop! Celestial Mei Xing's life must be important Ge-ge!"

Stopped by his companion the Eight immortals, knew they couldn't stand against with the Demon Queen added with her powerful army. Mei Xing's face became pale, her lips was dull-colorless, and the blood dripped and soaked into her white robes.

One of the immortals, carried Mei Xing and they decided to retreat.

The portal of Heaven realm, emerged into their way. But when they walked toward the light path, one of the demon clan stopped them and clashing sounds of two sharp swords breaking another silence. One of the immortals blocked using his sword, to the opponent.

"Don't worry about me, the Heaven must worry about this maiden!" He said.

"But...no!" Another said and he joined him.

Five immortals joined the two, they unsheathed their swords and aimed it into the enemy. The other one, carried Mei Xing and they went into the light, leaving their companions.

"We, are the Eight Immortals sworn, we couldn't let you, the Demon Clans escape or bring any disasters into this World!"

The Demon Clans, lead by the Queen defended her into the attacks. After that night, no single soul would know what happened next. But thankfully the great war ended, and couldn't tell if the Eight Immortals stopped it, while the Demon Queen and her clans retreated.

The Eight Immortals, disappeared without a single trace.
